The physical battery idea has been a thing for decades in the form of a pump storage plant where during times of excess electricity, they pump water up a hill, and when power is needed it works like a hydroelectric power plant. The problems with these however is that in order to get a meaningful amount of power and longevity, you need a lot of water and space to build one of these which makes them massive and expensive up front. I have one near me, but I also live near one of the biggest lakes in the world, which helps.

I’m guessing it’s more about the standard round that it fires. 5.56 or .223 rounds are built more for penetrating materials so when they’re up against a fleshy target, unless you hit them right in the vitals, might not cleanly kill and cause prolonged suffering. That’s not to say that the gun can’t be chambered in something that’s more useful for hunting but having a 20-30 round magazine for hunting is still a bit overkill.

If I recall correctly, Switzerland has a lot of gun control laws that dictate who can own a firearm, when and where the firearm can be used, and ownership requires strict training and licensing that often comes from the compulsory military service that the country requires. All of that would be great to have here in the US since the little tidbit about guns in our rule book mentions a well-regulated militia.

I haven’t been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I’d say it’s fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.

Yeah that’s more regenerate or maybe power word heals territory.

Hey, on the bright side, manpower is manpower.

Based.

What’s wrong with galvanized square steel? It’s a strong, corrosive resistant material great for regular use in damp environments. Just don’t cut it, weld it, eat it, etc. Zinc isn’t all that healthy in large amounts.

Does Carmen San Diego work there or something?

I remember when Michigan once ruled the great seas. Good times.

Golgotha Compendium: Fifth Temple - Eidola

It’s what plants crave I guess.

I’d be worried about the now excess co2 levels disrupting the normal saturation levels in the groundwater.

Where’s Upton Sinclair when you need him?

These look like they’re taken at different stages in a chicken’s life. The more developed head thingy and size of the bird is because it’s older.

Nothing says punk more than enabling for profit corporations to hold sole ownership of the utilities that we need to continue living in a bare minimum standard of living. /s

Looks like Space Station 13.

I think that’s the point behind voting uncommitted in the primary. It’s to put some heat on the candidate that actually has the potential to change their mind and do something. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s not as if I’m going to be voting for trump in the actual election and I understand how a 2 party fptp election works enough to put my vote in the “capable of having potential to stop supporting genocide” category.

Is this referring to Stranger in a Strange Land grok or explicitly caveman grok?

What’s a guy gotta do to get one of those cool little cab over trucks in the US? I looked into it a while ago and it seems like they’re only made overseas.
