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.

 

I've recently gotten into buying DVDs instead of streaming things, but the problem that I'm having is that the only DVD player I have is my old Xbox 360 which doesn't support Blu-ray and I don't know if there are better DVD readers nowadays. Just wondering if there was anything I should specifically look for or avoid when shopping for a new player.

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.

This is Michigan erasure and I will not stand for it.

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

Hey, on the bright side, manpower is manpower.

He teleported behind them, canonically.

The best part to me is that they include all of these rules to increase the security, but then set a maximum length of the password, which from my understanding is the easiest way to add complexity/security to a password.

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.

A true 2 state solution.

 

I was scrolling through the dashboard news feed and it seemed like every other news story was an outdated article on a hurricane or tropical storm. Example: there was one about the impending landfall of hurricane Dorian from a few years ago but it was presented as just about to happen. It was really strange. I panicked a little and checked the NOAA site but there was nothing at the time.
