Which is objectively going to be worse because the tilting bolt long recoil operation really cuts down the recoil impulse on a hot as shit round, which will not happen on the AK50

James from TFB I think isn't horrible either but I chalk that up to him just being too metropolitan and self aware about to lower himself to those people even if he may relate.

I can see it, most other guntubers are weird trad guys who are incels or married. He more or less doesn't mention it other than not being married, so who knows what Chud Guevara gets up to in his off time from NRA speaking gigs and making basically a short-stroke gas barrett .50 wearing AK clothes.

meta-chasing is looked down upon, clearly the interactions were unintended in terms of power compared to legacy builds everyone else is running

Its technically feasible, not even particularly complicated or unsafe, but just kind of a pain in the ass and adds risk. Its kinda like having a giant gasoline tank beside your house if you live in a city, at best pointless, at worst adding a low-grade risk of a catastrophic incident to your life.

Yes, do not do that, I will take my utility credentials and cosign that, but as long as code electrical work is being done, the real problem in a house at that point is your heat management and ventilation, bigger battery packs need to breathe a bit and short of knocking walls down, not happening.

Watts are not watt-hours, I can have a trillion gigawatt hours and sip on it 'till the sun explodes through a small campervan solar inverter if my batter management is done correctly. Bigger gas tanks don't need bigger engines.

I mean, there's nothing really stopping you from just throwing on a home-grade 1.5kw thing and as long as your your batteries are all safely on a bus in series and your connection to the inverter has an appropriate breaker you're fine. If you want to actually power the village then yes, hire me.

A sufficiently modern smart inverter paired with an appropriate fuse/breaker protection scheme and that really shouldn't be an issue. Of course past a certain point you need to start thinking about venting and cooling which if anything are the limiting factor.

Modern army units would probably look like space marines alongside them. I saw plenty of sections where the shortest guy was 5'11.

I suppose if you're retired and have nothing to do but ride your carriage around idyllic planes in your grey robes and puff on an extremely long pipe

Pipe smoking is elite because it's probably the best smelling and and way too much of a pain in the ass to ever make a habit of.

Kuwait and then you have to shoot through about 100,000 Iraqi PMF dudes before you even get to Iran.

If you really made me try and estimate I would probably put it much better than that, but I was intentionally absurd to illustrate the point that they'd really like to be able to fight the US on the ground, because there's basically no such thing as a ground fight without casualties for everyone.

Our commo special was hiding in the line/comms gear bays that were basically heated sheds in a separate fenced compound that had to be kept locked, no one, especially in the winter, would want to track down someone with keys and then walk all the way out there.

And you're just in on that friday/monday doing digital annual training and reordering the conexes, the halls are depressing and empty because every decent junior leader's shunted as many of their guys off into nooks they can just sit around and shoot the shit in.

If you're the Iranian military, US ground troops is your absolute #1 dream at this moment, you're picking out the nice hallmark invitation cards and perfuming them, red carpet, open bar, goodie bags, everything. You might trade 50-1 in casualties, but that's worth it thrice over in political damages

It would be absurd to even contemplate permitting Turkey to be destabilized, this would be if anything an even harder "fuck no" from Europe than even Greenland.

Hungary should be a project of the EU to develop mechanisms to enforce and defend democratic principles in members. Regardless, I'm kind of bullish on them eventually coming back around as long as they remain within the alliance and union.

No one wants this, not Turkey, not Greece, not Europe. The alliance has been somewhat neglectful of Turkey (blame shared, Turkey isn't exactly the greatest partner either) but no one's thrown that relationship away for the very real plight of the kurds, much less neuroses from the US/ISR brain trust

By what right did the fascist, colonialist, and overtly racist at the time Argentinian government, have any more right over that island than the UK, explicitly rejecting any indigenous origination and basing claims to those islands on a temporary Spanish Imperial holding there.
