Tue 20:41:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Maybe it was just a prototype.
Tue 20:41:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Something that takes 2.5 minutes to recover between shots wouldn't be very useful on the battlefield. Maybe if soldiers were using firing formations or something like you used to have to do with flintlock rifles.
Tue 20:42:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you could get it down to 10 seconds or something it would be more practical for individual soldiers.
Tue 20:43:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Tue 20:44:13 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or you could have one guy wielding an Acc-Mag in a fireteam
Tue 20:44:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and have the others use something else
Tue 20:48:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ True. It might be effective as a one shot burst against an infantry fighting vehicle or something.
Tue 20:49:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It never really did show what the range of the plasma burst actually was.

Tue 21:12:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Meta looking to build a nuclear reactor that could meltdown and kill people in Illinois, to power their Bullshit Bot.
Tue 21:21:06 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ and will the ai that it powers that reactor, will it control the power plant operations?
Tue 21:24:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, in one episode of TSCC, Skynet tries to infiltrate a nuclear power plant and cause a meltdown.
Tue 21:24:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, for an artificial super-intelligence, Skynet wasn't very effective.
Tue 21:24:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ All the machines could easily survive hard radiation and nuclear winter.
Tue 21:25:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That gives them options for dealing with human survivors. So why were there survivors?
Tue 21:25:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The machines don't have to care about things like crop failure and background radiation./
Tue 21:25:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can blow up every last nuclear weapon in the arsenal, and Skynet and the machines would survive it.
Tue 21:26:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there's no logical explanation why any person survived the war.

Tue 22:33:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump is firing everyone at USCIS that works on asylum and refugee cases.
Tue 22:46:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I wanted a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range.
Tue 22:46:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the guy said, "Hey, only what you see."
Tue 22:46:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *sigh*
Tue 22:46:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Tue 22:46:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then he told me there was a waiting period, but I said "Wrong." and took all of it the same day.

Tue 22:48:07 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Tue 22:48:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 40W doesn't sound like a lot anyway
Tue 22:48:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, They seemed to be doing considerable damage in the Future War.
Tue 22:49:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They never did say how the weapon works. Only that it's "phased plasma" and "in the 40 watt range".
Tue 22:50:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The T-X seems to have a much more powerful plasma weapon.
Tue 22:50:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ still, 40W is an amount of power, and it isn't that much
Tue 22:50:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The T-850 had been hardened against plasma attacks because the Human Resistance managed to salvage some of Skynet's weapons, but the T-X plasma weapon was enough to penetrate the armor and damage one of the hydrogen fuel cells.
Tue 22:51:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and afaict what plasma would do is mainly heat stuff up
Tue 22:52:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Generally, in sci-fi, plasma weapon shots are bolts of superheated gas held together by some sort of magnetic field.
Tue 22:53:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's possible that the plasma bursts are not what the "40 watts" are referring to.
Tue 22:53:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ according to this, boiling 100ml of water from room temperature takes 30.514kJ of energy >> https://brainly.com/question/30297962
Tue 22:53:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ with that plasma rifle, this would take over 12 minutes
Tue 22:53:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Perhaps it's referring to the amount of energy needed to contain the plasma on the way to the target?
Tue 22:53:52 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sounds unlikely
Tue 23:45:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I ran into a listing for an old VW Rabbit, a 1978.
Tue 23:45:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I described all the problems to mom that the guy said it's having now.
Tue 23:45:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She said her VW Rabbit had a bunch of problems by that in 1981.
Tue 23:46:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The car isn't just nearly 50 years old.
Tue 23:46:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was a bad car with a lot of defects back then.
Tue 23:46:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And now it is ALSO almost 50 years old.
Tue 23:46:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *problems like that
Tue 23:46:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Tue 23:47:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She said after it had been running, you had to leave it running if you went in somewhere.
Tue 23:47:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because it wouldn't want to start back up until it had cooled down for at least three or four hours if you turned it off.
Tue 23:48:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, It doesn't seem like the West Germans built much better stuff than the Communists in East Germany.
Tue 23:58:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sounds like they already had a thing for overcomplicating things way beyond their own abilities

Wed 07:22:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so anything with https in it woullld not work

Wed 07:28:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She has an extensive record of petty crime and moving violations.
Wed 07:28:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She refuses to carry car insurance, and she frequently parks in the fire zone and does not pay her tickets.
Wed 07:28:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like shoiplifting?
Wed 07:28:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, stuff like no driver's license.
Wed 07:28:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No plate.
Wed 07:28:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sovereign citizen crap.
Wed 07:28:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it makes sense not to park on fire zones
Wed 07:28:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if everyone said it didn't make sense
Wed 07:28:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] there would be no such zones
Wed 07:28:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She's a real card, but since she's just a pain in the ass, there's been no real comeuppance yet.
Wed 07:28:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then a fire happens
Wed 07:29:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then, "oops"
Wed 07:29:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no license (licence) carried?
Wed 07:29:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or has none at all?
Wed 07:30:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i saw people who have a licence to drive but don't deserve one

Wed 07:30:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] even if I'm not driving anymore
Wed 07:31:09 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if lacking a licence, then that's arrestable offence
Wed 07:31:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like a 12-year-old driving a car
Wed 07:31:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] except

Wed 07:35:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can't really arrest someone for no driver's license.
Wed 07:35:33 │ 〖cmb〗 │ The sovereign citizen crowd is like, the government is illegit so no need to pay taxes or have its licenses. I think their claim is that the US is ruled under British admiralty law or some such nonsense.
Wed 07:35:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The SAFE-T Act says it's a non-violent offense.
Wed 07:35:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they get a citation.
Wed 07:36:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's still a Class A Misdemeanor though if you've never had one.
Wed 07:36:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] weird
Wed 07:36:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] btw, my driver's licenceee has a very very old photo of me
Wed 07:36:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you have one but it's expired less than 2 years, it's a Class B Misdemeanor.
Wed 07:36:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like very very old
Wed 07:36:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A B Misdemeanor isn't anything to sneeze at.
Wed 07:36:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could still theoretically get 6 months in jail, although I doubt they would.
Wed 07:37:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] IsambardPrince: where does the laaaaaslumlord fffind tenants like these?
Wed 07:37:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Probably just a big fine.
