  • America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.

    The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.

    Not so the wheels which look like they are painted like that for a parade, but the body paint does a fantastic job at breaking the lines of the vehicle. People seeing something like that partially obstructed by a bush might not be able to tell it is vehicle shaped at all, let alone be able to tell what type of vehicle it is.






  • I actually knew a guy who had an Robarms M96 rifle chambered in .223 that would “overpressure” whenever he fired 5.56 out of it but not .223. Nothing catastrophic, but this rifle is designed so the barrel can be easily removed if you press on a latch and firing 5.56 out of it would cause the barrel to slip off of the latch and fall off of the rifle. It was working just fine with .223 though.

    It is more of a statement to the flimsy design and construction the rifle itself than anything else as we figured that it was the pressure felt at the gas port was what was causing the barrel to jump out of the rifle and not a failure of the bolt, which remained safely locked and did its very important job of supporting the case head under the firing pressures. But it was a pretty hilarious way to tell that the rifle operated at higher pressures when firing 5.56 compared to .223.









  • If I ever got tired of my car and wanted to burn it down somewhere safe and legal to do it, I’d do it the same way as it is usually done for any kind of car: break the window, douse the inside with a flammable liquid and light it up. I’d also have to be very careful while lighting it because if the flammable fumes have time to build up inside before being lit, it could explode and injure the person lighting it.

    Additionally, if anything Fail videos have taught me is that fooling around with flammable liquids and fire can quickly go very bad. I would also have a friend with a natural fiber blanket nearby just in case.
