New DeLisle Carbines Coming From US Armament Manufacturing (www.thefirearmblog.com)

The DeLisle Commando Carbine was developed in WW2 by the British. In WW2 the British commando used the rifle in covert military operation against axis powers. The DeLisle Commando Carbine is a bolt action integral suppressed 45 ACP rifle....

To be fair for a small volume novel production of a NFA repro rifle that’s not too crazy. But the real crime is that they’ll only throw in one magazine with it at that price.

Most sentences are absurdly long today. Too many things that would have been a citation 200 years ago are felonies today.

It’s the cotton gin logic. Eli Whitney thought his invention the cotton gin would reduce the need for manual labor on cotton plantations and reduce slavery. Instead it made cotton farming more profitable and revitalized slavery.

Maxim’s inspiration:

“I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States,” Maxim told the Times of London. “He said: ‘Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other’s throats with greater facility.’ ”

If people sold bricks only in the Spring they’d be seasonal. Seasonal ≠ in season, or at peak ripeness.

You just reminded me fiddleheads deserve a mention.

Tldr: Don’t do this unless you have a business that requires a steam account for tax purposes. It doesn’t need to be successful but it does need to be real.

Trusts are probably a better option for this sort of thing than a LLC.

It’s a pretty on point parody of their characters. Wanda being the responsible voice of reason. Cosmo being the fun one.

There just commenting on restrictions against personal activities in official uniforms. I’ve had jobs that have had very restrictive uniform policies that basically restricted to coming from or going to work-home. Or even you’re only allowed to be in uniform 30 minutes before or after a shift.

Beyond limiting wear on uniforms organizations general don’t want to be associated with what every employer does in their free time. And they do this with broad policies that may even prevent things they would want, like wearing one at a LGBT rally.

Sawn Off M79 (lemmy.world)

The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break open grenade launcher which fires a 40 x 46 mm grenade and first appeared during the Vietnam War. Because of its distinctive firing sound, it earned the nicknames of “Thumper”, “Thump-Gun” or “Blooper” among American soldiers; Australian units referred...

Unfortunately the best grenade launcher has already been made.

But the other one has better pirate vibes. And if you aren’t looking cool, well, what’s the point?

Fault is percentage based on the US. The employer and employer can be civilly liable for damages. But this is a criminal trial.

If this was a trucker who refused to check his blind spot routineoy before merging and killed someone the trucker would be held to account.

Unless the judge has some knowledge that Baldwin either had intent, or was negligent in such a way as to contribute to the death,

Trials are the thing we do that allow juries/judges to come to those conclusions.

Completely different scenarios. In yours the person hurts themselves. In this case Baldwin hurt someone else, allegedly due to his own negligence.

Closer to: Worker drives forklift around blindfolded. Hits someone killing them. It’s both the managers fault and blindfold guy.

It’s not uncommon to point ‘off target’ in a way that is undetectable from the camera angle. Kind of like how none of the people in the action movies actually get punched.

Well he already has been indicted by a grand jury. And the standard for them is probable cause, which is a very low bar. Just that he held a gun when it went off and struck someone should meet that for manslaughter.

I recently found the American Revolution Podcast by Michael Troy which goes intro insane details about the war. 300+ ~25 minute episodes going into detail on every aspect leading up to and during the war, with a dash of dry humor.

Funding for public defenders. They’re chronicly overworked and understaffed.

That’s probably the more popular way, but I think it’s easier to misinterpret. For example the freedom of speech, one could think of it as the freedom to speak instead of the freedom from undue censorship. But that right is usually considered a negative one.

I agree that it’s a negative liberty. It’s just the from/to language can be misconstrued IMO, the not impede/oblige others framing is more clear without additional information. It’s, again IMO, targeting the core of the differential. Asking of others for inaction vs asking for action.
