Florida woman stops alligator attack using a small Beretta pistol
This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman against a fierce predator.
"While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today!"
"Just one shot to my husband's knee cap was all it took.... The 'gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible."

That would be an awfully big floppy.

Someone ported a pistol revolver from the original Fallout 2d game.
Yes, it's a magazine fed revolver.
While this isn't impossible, if the revolving piece is internal and uses pockets to feed the bullet into the chamber and subsequently eject. This gun does neither. As you can see the revolving piece is external, meaning no pockets. Nope, the containing shape for the bullet is exactly the same as other revolvers.
So, I guess the bullets teleport into the chamber, and eject by teleportation?
Maybe it's an institute weapon...

@xaade Why did you post a screenshot with a tooltip over it?
I might have to murder you for that.
-
@blakeyrat Move your mouse.
But really, I've developed a complete ignorance of tooltips.
If the government wanted to hide information from me, they could do just fine putting it in a tooltip.

Trying not to laugh too loudly.
Received this email from our facilities manager:
Tomorrow evening at 7pm, maintenance will be stripping and waxing the lobby.
What I saw:
Tomorrow evening at 7pm, there will be stripping
Since we already have metal detectors (as an employee I do not need to go through them), my first thought was.
They can't have strip searches.
I am TR
(Edit - because I forgot I was posting in the funny stuff thread and not the status).
-
@Karla and waxing. In the lobby!
Good thing, too. Don't want hairy strippers.

See all that space below the barrel? You could have spring-loaded bullets pushing backwards into the bottommost chamber of the revolver. Some shotguns work that way. In this case it sounds like a reliability nightmare, which is the exact opposite of a revolver.
Obviously designed by someone not familiar with guns. In high school I had a friend who drew a cutaway picture of a laser pistol, which treated the light like some kind of fluid, that filled up a chamber and got squeezed into the beam.

The laser guns/energy weapons in Lilo and Stitch "splattered" when they hit hard surfaces, I always thought that was a clever little visual touch.
-
@blakeyrat Didn't watch the video, but if you say "energy weapons" (or just don't say "laser") then it's easy to come up with an explanation of some kind for that, which is fine.
-
@FrostCat Pretty sure in the movie they never call them anything at all. Maybe "blaster"? I don't remember it well enough.
-
@blakeyrat That works too. ALso, the alien designs in that movie were pretty cool.

@FrostCat It was an all-around well-done and clever movie. It even made fun of its own tropes. (Like putting the hero in a recognizable vehicle so you can track him during an action sequence.): "He stole a police cruiser! ... he took the red one." (Red cruiser goes by, followed by like 400 blue ones.)

@Tsaukpaetra I vow to beat one kitten to death per evening until this injustice is resolved.

@Polygeekery Holding kittens responsible seems a little excessive.

@Karla Maybe so, but it will get @ben_lubar on the case.

I guess that puts the weird ways that Bethesda-designed guns appear to work in Fallout 3 and 4 in perspective. (Assuming that this wasn't breakage caused by importing into the current engine.)

"Dear Bacon-ate-r,
I know how you feel. I went through exactly the same thing earlier this year. After much soul-searching, I decided I needed a much greater sin to balance the guilt I felt for craving meat. I considered killing younglings, but this didn't feel evil enough to suit anything but a badly acted movie. Next, I considered traveling to an Asian country and killing babies, but this was so 1960's as to be useless for making me feel guilty. After further thought, I realized I must commit a sin so heinous, so vile, no one could ever consider the eating of meat as anything but the most trivial of offenses. And thus, it is my duty to speak to you today of the joys of accepting Donald Trump as my presidential candidate and personal savior from the forces of vegetarianism..."

It's funny until you realize that that house has been abandoned and the dog has gone insane from loneliness.

@FrostCat Ethical meat eating is serious stuff. I can't tell you how mercilessly I've mocked my father in law for liking his steaks well done. Should be a crime.

From the comments of TFA, the understatement award goes to:
I was an ethical vegan for almost 20 years. Then I became homeless and was unable to buy food. I rely on soup kitchens for my meals and eat whatever they put in front of me. In other words I meat in order to survive. That assuages my guilt. I would not recommend this approach to anyone else.
But you did ask how we ethical vegetarians came to terms with eating meat. So, yeah.
