My coworker gifted me a big box of old chaos space Marines. Most of them have been converted to noise marines, but they are a mix of metal and plastic, and all on 25mm bases....
I bought a 15 Pro on Monday. Today (Wednesday) I received a tempered glass trying to put on the front and it also came with a glass cover to protect the camera lenses. So I put the glass on the front, and then start cleaning the camera bump area with an alco wipe. There was a spec of dust that was being stubborn to remove. After...
That’s not true. You can get a gun licence pretty easily in Australia. Anyone that passes a police background check can get one. Yeah it takes 6 months but that’s probably a good thing as well. You can’t just make an irrational emotional decision and get a gun.
Also the storage requirements are quite strict. You have to have a proper gun safe to own a gun.
Then it’s only single shot rifles and some pistols. We also have no public carriage. You can only move guns around from point to point, not just casually carry them.
It makes access to guns very hard for the average person. Yeah it doesn’t stop organised criminals having more dangerous weapons, but organised criminals aren’t going into schools and massacring people.
Strict gun control has been a really positive decision in Australia. Those who want to go hunting, still can, but kids, teenagers and crazy bastards have a very hard time getting them.
Why would Israel give a shit about these people murdering Germans?
If anyone would be making a measured response it should be Germany.
If it was my daughter being paraded through the streets dead, I wouldn’t be thinking about a very measured response right now. I’d probably be trying to level the entire country.
I bought my wife a 'fake ’ diamond ring for the engagement ring.
She couldn’t tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.
She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I’ve never worn it again. I haven’t even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it’s just lost, or she has it somewhere still.
It’s a short sighted argument to say baddies don’t follow the rules so your only restricting honest people.
In Australia assault rifles and automatics are just outright banned. You need a licence to own any type of gun, which takes 6 months waiting for background checks to be done. Guns must be kept in Safes etc.
So whilst a baddie might want to get an assault rifle and go on a kill rampage he can’t. There just aren’t any around. You can’t break in to a house and steal one.
Can organised crime get them? Sure. But that’s not what this is trying to stop. It’s preventing the impulsive bat shit crazy person going on a rampage.
It absolutely helps, as proven by Australias lack of mass shootings.

My model 3 long range is sitting in my garage. I charged it to 80% on Thursday night and unplugged it on Friday morning. It’s just been sitting since that time unplugged but undriven. It’s down to 51% on Tuesday morning. Down 30% in 4 days seems kind of bad. Sentry mode is on despite me having it set to not be on at home....
I’ve actually managed to let it sit unused for a few more days with sentry mode off. 48% now.
So this is better to see.
Actually has me wondering about a 4 day trip I did earlier in the year. Got home with air 10% left. Sentry mode was on the whole time. I probably could of gotten home with 40% if I’d left sentry mode off. It’s a power hog.
I think your probably right. The only example I can think of that might benefit is the roof lining in a car. I think the daily heat cycle probably is the cause of roof lining dropping. Not that big of an issue with a glass roof.
My Amarok has spent the vast majority of its life under cover. It still looks brand new inside.
My last car spent most of its life in the sun and definitely looked old by the time it was 10 years old. Had to replace the roof lining once.
The only way that could be possible is if your sitting way too close to the wheel.
I see it a lot with women. They sit with their chest basically touching the wheel.
Ideally you want to sit as far back as possible. Slight bend in your elbow. The further away from the wheel you are the greater the chance you will survive a serious incident.
However you probably find men buy and drive most cars a lot more than women. So they set up the car for the majority customer and the wife just has to make do.
