In high stress situations people frequently don’t even realize they got shot until after the adrenaline wears off. In my EMR course they trained us that we need to physically check for bullet wounds ourselves if a shooting was suspected because you can’t rely on the victim knowing that they’ve been shot.

That’s why mag dumping is more or less standard practice in survival situations. Sure, 1 bullet may kill the person, but it probably won’t do so for several minutes and until then you’ve only pissed them off. So you shoot and keep shooting until they actually drop. Which, when you’re talking about a particularly wimpy round like the one above, can take far more bullets that most people expect.

They would definitely notice. Modern farming equipment is way more technologically advanced than most people think it is. I used to work for a company that manufactured the electronics for farming equipment; it was usually some of the most high tech stuff we built and we also made the boards for medical equipment. So even if the farmer didn’t notice, their equipment definitely would. Specifically, most new crop sprayers and fertilizer spreaders will actively monitor soil nutrient levels and crop health to determine exactly how much of whatever they’re spreading needs to be spread in each location. Patches of crops hit with weed killer would definitely start throwing up some red flags in that software. You’re far better off just making old school crop circles with a plank on a rope.

Now as far as morality/legality goes, this would definitely be vandalism and depending on how many crops you destroy likely even a felony. Crops are insured so you really wouldn’t hurt the farmer too much. However you would incur the wrath of an insurance company. So if you value your financial well being and staying out of prison, I would not mess with a farmers crops.

This right here is a big one. I live in a college town in Minnesota and the students from out of state are absolute mennaces on the road in winter. My dad used to plow snow for one of the local universities. He had multiple students drive directly head on into his plow because they never cleared off any of their windshield before they started driving down the road. Luckily the snow plow tends to handily win in those situations and the plow trucks all had dash cams for exactly that reason.

You also get the people who think they’re invincible in the snow because they’re driving a 4 wheel drive truck. Newsflash, 4 wheel drive doesn’t mean you stop any better and it doesn’t do much when you’re on glare ice.

Similarly people who haven’t dealt with snow have no idea what to do when they do start sliding. So many people will just hit the brakes when they start to slide, which anyone who is familiar with winter driving should know that is the exact thing you never want to do.

Snow tires are another big one. I drive a tiny crappy rear wheel drive pickup but as long as I have a good set of snow tires on it and a few sand bags in the bed of the truck, then it still out performs any other vehicle with all weather tires in the snow.

Also american here and I learned to swim before I started preschool. But I also live in the land of 10,000 lakes so it’s basically a requirement here. So this is another one of those things that is going to depend on which state you’re in.

The Phalanx does auto target. It just can’t fire on its own. They’re designed to shoot down missiles and humans can’t aim that fast so they’re fully autonomous except for the fire control. From what I remember targets are assigned and prioritized by the AEGIS system on the ship but the Phalanx is designed to do all of the actual targeting on it’s own so that if the ship targeting stuff is damaged it can still function perfectly fine without it.

Theres a short video out there of a phalanx targeting and tracking a passenger plane. Aparently they’re also known to track birds and people walking around on the the ship.

So as far as one going rogue, all it would take is for the person in the control room to give it the fire command at the wrong time. Of course they fire at 4,500 rounds per minute and their large magazine only holds 1,550 rounds, so it’s spree of carnage would be pretty short lived.

It also doesn’t say they didn’t. Are we going to just list off a bunch of things the article doesn’t say?

Makes a mistake? That’s one hell of a mistake, he was litterally breaking and entering. Just because he was drunk is he no longer responsible for his actions? He chose to go get shitfaced and then he went and tried to break into a home when the residents were home in a castle doctrine state. The only more reliable method of getting shot that I can think of is walking around the woods in a deer costume durring hunting season.

Also how about we stop victim blaming the home owner here. Yes it would have been better if the guy had lived. There’s no question there. But the residents did exactly what they should have with the information they had at their disposal. They called the cops first but, when the dude broke the window and it became aparent that the police would not get there in time, they did what they needed to do to protect themselves while minimizing the chance of them being harmed. Letting a clearly agitated and potentially armed assailant actually enter their home just on the off chance that assailant was actually friendly would have been beyond stupid. The homeowner not mag dumping on the guy actually shows far more restraint than we typically even see from our police.

WAIT. THOSE WEREN’T SATIRE!?

I hope they don’t have granite countertops.

I mean, that’s probably actually it. Short term profits are all shareholders care about. We’ve seen that time and time again where businesses will absolutely mutilate themselves just so shareholders can enjoy a short term price spike. This is just a pump and dump but for the energy industry.

Your only current post on Lemmy is this one asking for places you can by a med that just so happens to contain pseudoephedrine. I’m not saying you are buying it to make drugs but that is a really bad look regardless.

If you are genuinely just somebody looking for an alergy med then you should really look for a different one. Pseudoephedrine is not good for long term use and there are far better alergy meds available. If for some reason that is the only drug that works for you then you should get a prescription from your doctor because even though it is an over the counter drug, a lot of places have stopped stocking it over the counter because it is used to make meth.

They weren’t left with much of a choice. They would hail the illegal fishing boats and the boats would just book it back to international waters, wait for the Argentinian boats to leave then immediately go back and start fishing again. These fishing boats were turning off their transponders right before crossing into Argentinian waters, it’s isn’t like they didn’t know exactly what they were doing. If you continously knowingly and deliberately violate a countries borders then you should really expect to be shot at.

China constantly fishes in other countries waters. It got so bad that Argentina has just started sinking their ships caught illegally fishing in their waters.

With your fingers? Do you completely submerge them in mayo or something?

Reactors that can do that have existed since the 70s and maybe even earlier.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BN-350_reactor

The only reason there aren’t more reactors like that is because most governments have barely been allowing the construction of new reactors period.

Because automated reposts just drown out all the posts that people are actually participating in. Yes you could scrape reddit and repost all the content here but lemmy doesn’t have the userbase of reddit so your feed would just be full of a bunch of dead bot made posts.

But if a person deliberately reposts something from reddit in a Lemmy community where it fits and adds to the community then that’s perfectly fine.

That’s the point though. The address is randomized per connection specifically so the device can’t be identified. It’s to prevent tracking, blocking, or assigning, anything based on mac address without the device owners knowledge. Every time your phone connects the network has to treat it like a new device. If it was randomized per network that would defeat the point.

I personally can’t think of any reason you would need a static IP on your phone but if you did then you should know enough to know how to turn off the randomized mac address. You can even change the setting per network so if you need a static ip at home then you just set your phone to use a static mac address on your home network and continue using a randomized one on every other network.

Curious about the person who downvoted this. Do they think that doctors should be allowed to do whatever the hell the want with the patient? Should doctors be allowed to lobotomize whoever they feel like whenever they want too? Maybe the next time you go to get a colonoscopy the doctor wants to remove your teeth at the same time just for shits and giggles. Those doctors had no reason to sterilize those women other than that they wanted to.

Any doctor who doesn’t consider patient consent important should have their license revoked just for expressing that stance. People who don’t value consent can’t be trusted with patients.

The pros laminate it and insert it about 12 inches.
