- Comment on Military Grade 5 days ago:
Military grade is moniker placed on different types of gear and equipment to denote it was ‘militarized’ for use in service, or so the idea.
For most equipment, this means it was ruggedized, or in more laymen terms extra layers of plastic, rubber or some inexpensive material to make the item more resistant to shocks, drops or other potential trauma one might expect when used by soldiers in potentially hostile environments. The catch is the companies that produce these militarized equipment sell them for 5-10x more than what they should cost.
In the civilian world, people think military grade means top spec, latest and greatest. In the military world, military grade usually means it’s tough but it’s also a decade or more behind in tech and performance with very few exceptions. So if someone is trying to sell you military grade goods or worse, surplus, it’s guaranteed to be overpriced crap that at best is going to survive a few more bumps than what a normal, civilian version could.

Wrap it in silicon, plastic and duct tape and charge 10x the price.

Don’t know if it’s necessarily on purpose. Some people lose their job or have to withdraw from schooling against their desires and spiral into depression. So burden, yes. On purpose, probably in the majority or more infamous cases, but far from always.

This is the way.
You are likely more aware of your surroundings at the end of your journey rather than the beginning. That extra 30 seconds to back in could save you from an accident of someone in your blindspot not checking for lights

First season could be a bit rough at points as the cast finds their characters and the plot tries to stick to every man out of his element. That goes away around season 2.

Less intelligent, more not a sociopath. These people are clearly very intelligent, they just lack ethics and have replaced it with greed.

Wasn’t the kid who shot him a groyper from a maga family? Not sure what liberals had to do with alt right radicalizing kids and losing control of a culture war they started degrading to a political civil war.

If I’m not mistaken devs have the ability to remove inflammatory comments or mark reviews as being irrelevant to be scrubbed.

The flaw in your logic is ICE doesn’t have the guts to identify themselves or their vehicles.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 4 months ago:
The gang/faction system was lot of fun, I recall one of them was just straight rednecks so ton of fun to just rampage against them.
Also loved the nice touch of the 5 minute gameplay demo being enforced your character wearing a bomb vest set to blow in 5 minutes.

Every cat is different. I’ve had grumpy cats that love belly rubs and I’ve had friendly cats that only want ear and chin rubs, you touch anything lower than their spine and they recoil away before slinking back for more ear rubs.
