Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

TOS was peak fighting style for action, you can’t change my mind.

Look at the absolutely flawless way he disarmed kirk.

Perfection.

You make a good point.

The OG most wanted is hands down my favorite of all time.

I dropped $40 just to play on my Xbox around 10 years ago.

I’d buy it again if I didn’t already have it installed.

There’s a couple of these on a trail near me, and although the bollards can just be pulled out of the ground, they used to be padlocked.

Some people who use cargo bikes to shop couldn’t get through, so the city removed the locks.

The bollards are still there, but if you need to get through you can just lift it out, mosey on by, and then replace it. The middle one is made out of hollow aluminum I think, so it’s a lot lighter than the other solid steel ones. You can still lift those out, just not one handed.

Up until then, the cargo bikes were just hopping off the trail and cycling along next to the trail on the other side of the fence, which was only about 200-300ft long on either side of the bollards.

… Antarctica doesn’t seem to have much in the way of law enforcement, so they likely wouldn’t deport him back to us.

Could we Try there?

I’m confused

Who are “you guys”?

And what does “did gun control laws?” mean exactly?

The thought that nobody on here wants to own firearms or stock up for defense of the people they care about (especially in countries who have recently slid further down the fascism slide) is laughable.

This feels like a “so much for the tolerant left” post.

Lmao “tolerant left” is how we got here.

My first thought was “So we call ‘following the law’ a loophole now?”

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

IMPORTANT PROTIP

Side-arm molotovs, don’t throw them over your back like you would a baseball.

Unless you know exactly how to make a watertight molotov, there’s the possibility that you drip burning fluid onto yourself if you throw it up and over your body.

By throwing side-arm (around and out to the side, almost like a Frisbee) you fling any liquid away from you.

It’s also a good idea to make sure nobody is standing to your side that you could potentially douse in flames.

Happy tossing, and remember to only use this knowledge for educational purposes!

“You are not allowed to use the law to block human trafficking” - A judge in the US

I’m not saying laws are inherently just and good, this just isn’t a good look.

On par, though.

Honestly, if you mounted some of these on a couple 1kw e-bikes with fat tires and suspension for better off-roading, you could get some nice hit-and-run squads, assuming you could clear or detect area-denial weapons.

Mount an MG on one, a recoil less rifle on another, maybe some form of rocket launcher for heavier armor.

It’s not going to take over any countries, but a fast attack force that can clear rough terrain quickly is worth it’s weight in gold.

5 bicycle boys vs 10000000 Gen 5 tanks and 27 lions, who wins?
