The white flag is, per international treaties, a signal you want to communicate with the other side regarding a truce or surrender. It's not a free "get out of jail" card when you're retreating.

Yes, but 50 rounds are more likely to be hit than just 1. And if you put them in a spot that's going to be shot at a lot, say the turret, you're less likely to walk away from a penetrating hit.

FN P90's magazine turns the bullets 90 degrees by turning them with its feed geometry. It kinda looks like a slide for bullets if you squint hard enough. HK G11 uses about as many parts as in an average Swiss watch to do the same thing.

That would earn them a percent of a percent of what they would through donations or running ads on their site. And they would be able to do it only once.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Ah, it's because you haven't read my book "Newton's Lie: How Big Gravity is Keeping Us Down". It's only $199.99 on my website. You'll also get a 50% discount for a subscription to my monthly podcast "What Birds Don't Want You To Hear", so it'll only be $39.99 per month.

While I'm not defending the use of the bombs as bargaining chips, Japan would have suffered the same fate as Germany under Soviet rule. North Japan and South Japan, alongside a Tokyo Wall, would have not been just a "threat to capitalism".

Haha, wouldn't it be funny if you fugged the Dune™ 2 popcorn bucket, now in cinemas near you, starring Zendaya and Christopher Walken, tickets available online?

Chlorine dioxide is used in bleach and is both toxic and corrosive. People like these are not just stupid, but dangerous.

Mass Effect 3 was already heading in that direction, so the headline really doesn't inspire much confidence
