Nope. 100% O2 can’t burn on its own. Other things in 100% O2 on the other hand…
- Comment on Pens in Space 3 days ago:
Yeah, try lighting your pencil on fire in a 100% O2 environment. It’s not the pencil being flammable that was dangerous, it was the pure oxygen atmosphere making the pencil extremely flammable to the point where a small spark from static electricity could cause it to almost instantly immolate, that made it dangerous.

They can if they do too many dives in rapid succession.
You get the bends by having a lot of nitrogen dissolved on your bloodstream due to the pressure. So it’s a function of how much nitrogen you breathe, how much pressure you’re breathing it at, and the total amount of blood (and some other tissues) in your body that can absorb that nitrogen. Divers get the bends because they are taking multiple breaths of air under pressure, there is multiple lung volumes of nitrogen cycling though the diver. Whales and other diving animals don’t typically “hold” their breath when they dive, but if they did, it would only be 1 breath of air for the entire dive. Air in the lungs is bouyancy they don’t want and can potentially injure them when it re-expands. Most marine diving animals will saturate their blood and muscles with oxygen at the surface and then dive and exhale.

For real? I got my GMRS license a few years ago, and sometimes I just put a radio on scan to see which construction companies are violating FCC regs. Haven’t found a rando to talk to yet, but the range is pretty small. I’ve been mulling over getting my HAM license and Baofeng to dick around with.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
Was he using 300-win or 6.5? From what I heard it was 223 or 5.56.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
Fixed, thank you.
Chest shot wouldn’t work. Like I said, at that point in the campaign, the former president has secret service protection and was probably wearing soft armor underneath. Even then, you would need a hit that is instantly lethal. If you hit the lung, liver, or even a major blood vessel, and he still lives because he has priority medical care on standby, so you would need to hit the heart to get the job done. Heart is smaller than head.

-
Range - Trump was over 300 yards away from the shooter.
-
Equipment - AR pattern rifles ( I think it was a Daniel defense) with a red dot sight. That setup is for quick target acquisition and field of view. It is not meant for hitting distant targets.
-
Shooting conditions - The shots were taken outdoors, where there was a cross breeze.
-
Difficult Target - if you’ve ever seen trump on stage, he has this weird wobble he does all the time, which shifts his head rapidly and unpredictably from side to side multiple feet. He had to get hit in the head too. He probably was wearing soft body armor at this point, and there are multiple ambulances nearby and he gets priority medical care. Anything less than instantly lethal would not take him out. So it had to be a headshot.
-
Counter-fire. There are multiple trained and properly equipped snipers guarding trump. There was an armed policeman trying to get on the building with the shooter. This is not simply lying down at a range and taking your time.
TL; DR - it’s not like videogames.

I feel like this is fake.
Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it’s not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.
If some has the clip, please share.

Well, he meant " the little number, and the big number of economic troubles the liberals, Biden, globalists and illegal Mexican drug cartels, wrote over your number in the box, even though you were writing the best number, perhaps even, perhaps, many people you know are saying it. Lower number. Lower. The lowest number you’ve ever heard of. It’s the lowest number since the last time I wrote a low number. Ask Sean Hannity about it. Why won’t anyone ask Sean…loooow, I like like low number, you like low numbers? I like 'em low! I like low numbers when they aren’t supposed to be high. Lower good numbers, lower is better, just like in women, when women’s numbers are lower, unless they are tens, but even then that is a pretty good low number for me. Democrats hate my low numbers, and my high num…frankly, I didn’t want to say it, they hate any number from me."
Or something like that.

Chip with a closed face technique, but forget what you were doing during your back swing and open up your club face instead.

The real rich thing about trump cheating at golf… Is that golf is a game of personal development. It’s downright poetic that he is both bad at it (no shame there really) and cheats/lies about it rather than put in the time or effort in his 78+ years to get better at it. That really shows what kind of a person he is.

I’m an atheist, and there are plenty of people I would stone to death if given the chance.
So if the number really is zero, it’s probably due to a lack of opportunity.

Send them a letter back with the definition of a weed.
a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.
If you want them there, they aren’t weeds.
- Comment on We are so cooked 2 weeks ago:
I’ll hop in here and add that your locality probably does pesticide fogging/spraying. For what it is worth, you can ask them not you spray your property. Make some local wildflower patches in your yard. Less stuff you have to mow, more food and habitat for native birds and insects. It’s a win-win.

Replaced a disposable battery.

1 point. Never cared for what was playing on the radio.
- Comment on Anon watches It 2 weeks ago:
They do still mount guns on most. Notable examples of gunless fighters I can think of are the F-117 Nighthawk and the F-4 Phantom. F-117s weren’t really fighters, and got the F designation to lure in crazy fighter jocks. F-4s were larger fitted with a gun pod, and then (IIRC) retrofitted with a gun.

Probably late in October.
- Comment on Anon watches It 2 weeks ago:
I hate it when they have a modern fighter jet firing it’s guns and it sounds like “thunka thunka thunka thunka”.
- Comment on i just wanna live 2 weeks ago:
They are fascinating little creatures. They have a bunch of stripes on them, even across their legs. They eat dangerous house pests. They are venomous, but their “bites” are less irritating than a mosquito bite. They also don’t technically bite, they envenomate using two modified legs.

Yeah, the burger quality was on par with just about any other smash burger, and the fries were limp, undercooked, slimy and pale.
I think it was only 14 bucks for me at the time, but this was when you could get a whopper combo for like 6.

The Museum of African-American history is already on the chopping block for having content that does not paint the US in a good light.
I wish I was fucking joking about that. The proper way to be remembered well is by doing good things, not by having orange hitler demand that the history of bad things be erased.

I can’t tell which way this comment is going, but Five Guys is the most I’ve spent for the worst French fries I’ve ever had in my life, and the burger is “meh” grade. Burger King does a better burger and fries faster and cheaper.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The real truth is our stupidty is not unusual, it’s just a preview of what is coming down the pipe for some of you. Right-wing populist dipshits are gaining ground in a lot of countries. It tends to go alomg with economic hardship. People look for other people to blame for their problems. The real truth is that it’s not immigrants, or jews, or woke women that are ruining everything for everybody, it’s a very small number of inconceivably rich people. Sure, the economy looks great (historically speaking) but real measures of happiness, like the cost of medical care, education and household measured in working-hours has shot through the roof, something which “the economy” does not capture very well.
Tl:dr, shit is going bad almost everywhere, and if you don’t get the to root cause of the issue ( a few rich people owning everything) then the stupids in your county are going to elect right-wing dipshits too.
