I'm sure that applies for some combination of bow, arrow, and archer. I'll add it to the list of things 5e has done to irritate me.

I suppose I can see that. Aside from the advice elsewhere in this page to "just sit down," is there any general advice on how to do that?

Isn't this post taking about how peaceful protests are going to be used as cover by bad actors to make violent protests?

So, no violent protests. No peaceful protests. What's left to us?

What's our alternative? Roll over and let the fascists take over?

The technical term comes from archery. In archery, the arrow rises when fired, so when shooting at very close targets, you actualy aim lower than the point you want to hit. At distant targets, of course, you aim higher, because the arrow will start to fall.

"Point Blank" is the distance at which you aim directly at the target. Last time I did any shooting, it was about 22 feet, with my bow and my arrows.

He's clearly playing a Vulcan.

Sadly, the people who can't cope with the fact that people with Mexican heritage live in California are the ones that have the army, and the finely oiled PR machine.

Just once, I'd like to see us play the PR game, even a little bit, rather than deliberately handing them the victory on that front.

I'm curious to know what you think "point blank" means.

I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.

My loyalty is for sale.

Yea, that's part of why I don't know for sure if they make cars the way the guy at the top of this thread is describing.

Can't speak to "required." But I know it used to be done.

I think what he wants is the front turn signal to wrap around the front, so I can see the left signal from the right quarter.

I'm not aware that this is not the case, but I don't know that I would have noticed if it was not.

almost certainly.

I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

I imagine they remember the far off year of 2021, where the threat of drowning in you own lungs was not considered sufficient reason for a great many people to give a shit.

Expensive burgers may be the lever needed to get people to pay attention.

And why should I take your word for it? I want testimonials from an array of five year olds, at least one of which is missing teeth.

If you're going to assault an officer, you might as well do it properly. But u don't think we want to go there just yet.

Such things have to be wire guided, or autonomous. Subs have really good wire deployment systems, so it's not something out of the question, but water blocks radio signals quite effectively.

I mean, that's like claiming that he lied repeatedly and vociferously that jumping in the pool will not lead to getting wet. There is no way to believe that lie aside from deep, deep ignorance.
