The m249 machine gun has a cyclic rate of fire of at least 650 rounds per minute with a sustained rate of fire exceeding 100 rounds per minute. From a stable firing position and with the aid of a bipod, it is possible to accurately lay down sustained suppressing fire on a mass of targets at will, providing that spare barrels and ammunition containers are at hand.

Unrelated, just thought I'd post some trivia

I'm sure she was giving him a handy in a theater to, ya know, punish him for enabling what she clearly thinks is a pedo grooming operation. She couldn't be lying about her moral outrage surrounding drag queens at all, could she?

Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.

American conservatism is distilled cruelty.

"Free-speech zealot" stops enforcing hate speech laws, wants to use the courts to force people to stop criticizing him for doing so

What it's going to take is to vote in Biden, then whoever the Democrats run in 2028, 2032, 2036. Until enough of the Republican justices die in office that actual jurists can replace them.

Good, it's about time. Tritiated water just isn't dangerous. The ocean naturally contains billions of tons of URANIUM. A few kilograms of short lived tritium isn't going to matter at all.

So, 69% of Republicans are traitors to the Republic. That's what I'm hearing.

Aspartame, when it hits your intestines, immediately decomposes into 40% phenylalanine, 40% aspartic acid, and 20% methanol. Phenylalanine and aspartic acid are nutritious amino acids, otherwise known as protein. Since aspartame is so much sweeter than sugar, it's used in quantities small enough to make the methanol intake levels from a can of diet soda lower than what you would get from a cup of fruit juice.

There's no real danger.

USPS sells this information for mail advertising. If you don't want to be included in that, you can opt out via USPS.

Fill out Form 1500 and drop it by a post office to be removed from ad lists. It's free.

No one should care what the government of Qatar thinks is hypocrisy.

Part of being a foster parent is agreeing to respect the child's situation, religious views, sexual orientation, etc. If I tell the state that I'm not going to take a kid to church if they're religious, I'm not getting approved. If I tell the state I'm going to teach potentially gay children that being gay is wrong, I'm not getting approved.

This is a very clear violation of the first amendment. Their rhetoric is ghastly and apologism for Hamas is beyond the pale.

But this is a free country. College students must be free to advocate for their own ideas, no matter how fucked up they are, unless they get to the point of actually inciting violence here in the US.

Yep. The people who did this are animals.

The details are disgusting.

It's not extinct and won't go extinct. It doesn't live in its natural range but there are wild stands outside which haven't been exposed to chestnut blight, and there's a genetically engineered variety which is resistant to the disease and which may be released into the wild soon.

I mean, there isn't one. The Biden administration has been the most active on climate change in American history, but the constitution is silent on the subject.

Makes perfect sense that the Republicans would want to steal from a charitable organization providing basic health services to poor women. They hate the poor and they hate women.

This is what Hamas is, what they believe, what they do. They're religious extremists who want genocide, and the only thing that's stopping them is their physical inability to make it happen.

He's a Democrat like your crazy great aunt who keeps ranting about how things were better under President Kennedy and who hasn't voted for a Democrat since Nixon and who keeps posting insane misinformation on Facebook is a Democrat. I've met people like that, RFK will appeal to them. And siphon votes off from the Republicans.

At no point were there 60 votes in the Senate for codifying roe v wade into federal law, and the Supreme Court could have just tossed out that hypothetical law anyways.

I don't really care what the government of Qatar, and by that, I mean Al-Jazeera, thinks is hypocrisy.

He had a supermajority for about a month and a half. But it was also dependent on several anti abortion conservative Democrats. There was never a time when he had 60 votes.

The way to prevent this was electing Clinton in 2016

Good!

If we are going to be able to allow wild populations of fish to recover, we need to outcompete wild fishing with farm raised. Glad to see advances in helping the environment!

Without 60 votes in the Senate, shit, without 50, it codification of abortion rights wasn't happening. And he did push loan forgiveness, the Supreme Court shut that down.

If a bunch of Hamas terrorists drag a 12 year old into the path of an incoming bombardment, they're still the ones responsible for that death.

Sure. We could stop eating fish, and meat, and anything other than staple crops. Theoretically. But I don't think it's going to happen, so, while we live in the real world, where people are going to want to eat fish and meat and kale and almonds and all the crops and foods which aren't maximally efficient, we can work on more efficient ways to farm the foods we want to eat.
