>>65263553Anyone that designs a couch with a back that low needs to be laughed out of the industry. There is no reason to design a couch like that. "It's fashion" is not a reason because it isn't. Everyone knows a couch is for relaxed sitting and any couch like that is terrible at that job. I'm not going to argue that all couches be uber seats that can swallow small children whole, but they should at least appear comfortable. My back hurts just looking at that thing.

It always comes across as gaudy for the sake of it. I guess it's trying too hard to be different is really my critique. It isn't a rational product of the techniques used to create it.Gehrys buildings always seem to want to desperately replicate Salvador Dali paintings. Perhaps a result of an unhealthy amount of playing about with surfaces on CAD...>>65263576I broadly agree. I've got no idea who designed it though (maybe Gehry, fuck knows). But that's the problem, modern product designers seem to have completely forgotten that the goal is to make something actually nice to use (or affordable or otherwise of benefit). Not an abstract art piece to indicate "taste" amongst people who have more money than sense.Anyway yeah, weapons or something lol.

>>65259953To be fair that would require pretty insane levels of activity. You would have to walk ~16 miles every day.
>>65261074not reallyit's really just a matter of portion sizingfor example, today was a no-workout no-commute sedentary leftovers dayfor breakfast I had 3 pancakes, 1 chicken leg, half a potato, and a small piece of leftover birthday cakefor lunch I had 1 cup of cooked rice, half a lb of kale, and about 1/4 lb of grilled chickenfor dinner I had another cup of cooked rice, another half lb of kale, and about 1/4 lb of grilled salmonfor dessert I had yoghurt, watermelon and apples, and 3 cups of coffee with milk and sugarthis is a bit shy of 2,000 calories according to AiI don't drink, and I don't snack much on a day like this, and I know this is just enough to maintain my body weightwhen I lose weight is when SHTF at work and I live on late nights, Coke, biscuits, Macca's and Domino's>but doesn't fast food = weight gain?Comment too long.

>>65198486Lel. If they beat the Japs so hard, why didn't Stall-in at least declare war on Japan and allow American planes to refuel in Eastern Russia? Surely those weak Japs are no match for Russia. Yet at the same time Stall-in was crying and bleating for the West to invade France while accusing the West of dragging their feet on purpose to bleed Russia dry. Every accusation is a confession.

>>65262768Honestly smoking just creates tannins that kill bacteria.All of these methods are best used together, with most companies that store food use at least 2 of the methods. More methods the better.Most people drying huge chunks of meat use lots of salt for weeks, and then dry it in a basement on a hook once the salt is penetrated.Smoking into jerky is just a quicker way of impregnating tannins and drying the meat. However that dried meat must then be kept dry or, again, risk.
>>65262944Dry cured hams have a crust sure, but the internal dries without the salt impregnation, the salt on the exterior draws out the water.The entire hamhock hung in a basement loses almost 70% of its mass over 8 months, mostly water.

>Sailors / Marines>Wear blue ocean camo>So you can hide in the water!??!?!>Fall overboard>Oh shitSeriously, what's the point of blue camo? Its not like marines even swim up to beaches. Do they plan to hide in rivers and lakes?
>>65266466>Seriously, what's the point of blue camo?Because the Navy wanted to be like the cool kids (the other services) instead of embracing being the Navy.
If you fall off a modern warship you're dead anyway
>>65266466See >>65266519Unironically the rule of cool.
>>65266466USN said it was to extend "useful life" of the working uniforms by hiding stains, because when they are all on ship together with no civy eyes the most important thing is to look good.real mechanics will tell you if they got a grease or paint or mustard smear on their clothes they WANT to be able to see it so they don't transfer it.probably some BS about camo when on deck.
>>65266675how often does it happen?
Was "fragging" during vietnam actually killing incompetent officers or was it more evil malingering draftees killing officers who actually made them patrol and do their job instead of sitting around on the base?
>>65266414This but Unironically.
>>65265710The vast majority of combat roles in Vietnam were filled by volunteers or draftees who volunteered specifically for those roles so it was probably a combination of actual grievances against officer incompetence as well as evil malingering volunteers who were fed up with routine duties and just wanted to sit around base (especially if their tour in country was close to finishing and they didn't want to tempt fate any further)
>>65266400500-1500 cases is the accepted range. Mostly wounding, not fatality, mostly with grenades, and extremely difficult to prove it wasn’t accidental blue on blue.
>>65266420>Did fragging happen during the Korean war/WW2?Dunno about WW2, but during the korean war there were company+ sized mutinies in the american army. Its kind of hard to know since entire battallions were wiped to the last man more than once, nobody would ever know if their command chain broke down since there were no survivors.

>>65266091That's the point of drones, you monkey, is that you have a lot of them and can continue to make more in mass quantities for cheap. But no I'm clearly stupid just fly around the Apache until you clear those damned fastboats and shaheds out of the strait, no more will ever come after that as we've seen in Ukraine and you've saved democracy forever, oh no look out Mr. Apache a second drone has appeared and lodged itself in your fuselage, bail bail bail

>>65203646I've yet to see another anon who owns a Robinson XCR
>>65264697Oh I know where to get deacs, I just morally oppose them exactly because guns that would now be obsolete calibre have been deactivated for no good reason. I sort of know a guy who is selling one of the belt fed versions.Importing any gun into the UK is PITA but I don't know if machine guns are extra hard if they're Section 58 anyway, supposedly the BBC just declared their Section 58 pistol at the border and that was it (back in 2016 when they lied about Sec58 guns on Panorama calling it a "loophole"). When I was looking at importing Danish Krags in I don't remember seeing anything specifically about what type of gun it was but I'll admit I only looked for a few hours to research before deciding it wasn't worth the effort.
>>65266114SR1 : incredibly fun to shoot. The gun has ZERO recoil, it's like clicking in a videogame. Accuracy is a little better than standard AKs (around 2 MOA). Heavy as fuck (over 4kg without mag and optic). I like it at the range but I wouldn't bring it to combat. The balanced action mechanism is less reliable and makes disassembly and cleaning a pain.MK-103 : nothing much to say. Apart from the furniture and markings it's a regular AK.AK15 : an improvement to the platform but nothing groundbreaking. Ergonomics are certainly better with the adjustable stock, new grip and selector. The top cover does hold zero pretty well (there may be some slight shift but I never noticed anything, the gun is not that accurate anyway). The only thing I don't like is iron sight, the rear aperture is bulky and blocks a large portion of your view when looking through it, and the sight picture is terrible. I'm planning on replacing it with the newer diopter sight from the gen 2.

>>65234763None of these other guys have any clue what they are talking about. Swedish m96s? Russian capture k98s? Both of these go for like $1000 still.Yugo and Turkish Mausers, are a pretty good option. I never having difficulty finding 8mm in stores near me.Aside from that, PPU makes modern ammo of just about every military round. So if you are okay with ordering online...>K11s still go for under $500.>Austrian m95s still go for $400-500>Carcanos go for $300 occasionallyThat's pretty much it for nowadays.>>65253267You can. I picked up this MAS-49 for $1100 last month at a gun show. Thing was completely covered in cosmoline. The boomer selling it told me he "bought it years ago and couldn't find any mags for it" so I assume it was never fired. He didn't even know the tube under the barrel was a bayonet. Got the scope and mags online later.
Snagged a nice Egyptian contract FN49 couple days ago

>>65237094>>65237095whats with posts being deleted so often in /k/? are these posters detected as repeat shills or something?
>>65266606>whats with posts being deleted so often in /k/? are these posters detected as repeat shills or something?More or less, yes.Some shill (not necessarily professional) spams a bunch of threads, natives report them, one gets nuked and irritates a janny enough to get escalated to a mod, then the mod looks at a list of the posts from that user, see a high percentage of shit and clicks "nuke everything this poster did".If you get a three day but it's just one post, you got baited into replying to /pol/ bait and the janny knows it so your other posts stay. Learn a lesson or make it worth it next time.If you get a one day, the janny decided you just need to be told to stick to weapons topics.If you get a warning, the janny probably basically agrees with what you said but it's not a /k/ topic and is being nipped in the bud before it turns a thread to shit.Only the obvious shills and the worst trolls actually get board-wide/site-wide nukes but it looks pretty weird when innocuous posts get nuked too but no way is a mod/janny going to go through all their shit and decide which ones can stay, this site is really not that important to preserve a few valid posts in an ocean of shite.
>>65242126Ireland in particular cooks their books for international companies, but they are still small in population so at best you can add a few % points to the US/Europe/UKDijibouti is a country built on worldwide, military bases taxation, it's often safer to import/export for somalia from diji.Seychelles is a known tax haven owned by the UK that has a small mostly US/UK military populationHongKong is also a former Bong tax haven used for ChinaSingapore is a former bong tax havenNauru is... well you get the point.Funnily enough Australia uses that one to deport asylum seekers.Lesotho is an odd case because they get mostly everything through South Africa due to being surrounded by South Africa.>>65249594You can do it via the phone, even.You just send a check into the company, they cash it and send the item back.Back in the age of trust they'd even send it to you before the check cleared, check fraud was surprisingly not too common because they had your name and address.Hell in the US they can still pay for groceries by check.
>ukies are using fiber optic drones to clear trencheshow good of a pilot do you have to be to pull this off?
>>65265211>How hard is it to take out the springs without fucking up the controller?In a joystick, it would be pretty easy, I've opened up and fucked with them and back in the day, lots of people would have problems with return springs being worn or broken and replace them or upgrade them for stronger/weaker return.Controllers are a bit of a different story though, it's a sealed unit and pretty small, technically it should be doable but it's not a trivial task any more and is going to take some gear, expertise, and failures before you get it right.They don't necessarily use springs any more either, there are other mechanisms in play too. You'd have to research it on a case by case basis, though there's only a couple of such units used so it wouldn't be that hard to research them at least.
>>65265253>Basic ones are super cheap though, so I guess you could buy a big old bag of them from China and just accept a failure rate of however many % from ones that don't take so kindly to you yanking them openYeah, I think that's the right idea, buy a 50 pack on aliexpress and fuck with them until you work out how to do it.Wouldn't cost all that much to do and could be an interesting project.
>>65259348They don't use these because they reduce range unsurprisingly.
>>65260940Why did you think this was viable in the first place? That type of stress would wreck that shit in fast order.
>>65265773True in most cases, but if you're taping a grenade to the drone then you're probably not too worried about motor life.
