  • "Highest rank" in this picture is referring to "highest rank obtained by that person" and not the highest possible.

    It uses the same wording for Vance, who was a corporal.

    Edit: unless someone was an officer and served in Congress, which has probably happened and I don't care enough to look it up

  • abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

    Ok honestly that just sounds like a hilarious prank.

  • Much of the destructive force comes from speed

    You should've stopped there.

    Let me rewrite that:

    The destructive force of a 5.56 round is exponentially increased by the tissue it hits. If it hits purely soft tissue - such as a pass through the deltoid or quadriceps - it may not cause much damage at all.

    The real destruction comes from hitting hard tissue (like bone), which causes it to tumble and cavitate or cause it to ricochet and hit more soft tissue, on top of probably breaking whatever bone it hit.

  • I think you overestimate the size and power of a 5.56 round. Much of the destructive force comes from speed and the area it hits - such as the chest or hips. Bones can cause it to ricochet and spin, causing cavitation and greater destruction.

    They can leave a tiny entrance wound. With how thin the ear is, it's unlikely to have left an exit wound any larger than the entrance. It may have even hit the tip of the ear.

    Either way, I think there would still be a visible wound unless it just nicked the tip of the ear. The bleeding may be due to blood thinners or something, considering his cardiovascular health.

  • I'm in a class (for work) and I do most of the coffee stuff.

    We have two 12 cup pots that I prep before I leave. One auto brews and is ready when I get in and the other is ready to start whenever the first one starts getting low.

    Other people bring in bags of coffee. I usually bring the creamer.

  • What is the "right" action here then, in your mind? Would you rather a stranger grab the kids hand or pick them up?

    Touching someone else's kid without explicit consent from the parent is likely to get you in some trouble unless you can explain to them that you just saved their kid

  • What's with all the hate on Signal on here? I see probably one post a week trying to bash it because of some unproven conspiracy about it.

    It's a non-profit whose goal is to provide encrypted private chat.

    Signal's subpar user experience is a feature from this perspective.

    Signal is literally just a chat service. The user experience is on par with any other service, except it's backed by a trust in the company to not sell out on the end user because it's a non-profit and isn't beholden to any shareholders.
