LAPD officer records other officers being racist.

Gets charged with felony eavesdropping.

There was another, stronger visual weapon under development, but hexabear was wise enough to discontinue the program

Actually laughed out loud

The degree to which this riled up the centrist hive on bluesky cannot be overstated. Week-long discourse.

Pre-emptive de-federation days

Probably a convenience thing.

The beretta 92 combat, unlike the og 92, has a frame mounted safety that, when safed, physically blocks the slide from moving–same as a 1911.

If I had to get a pistol ready for an actual white-box photoshoot, I’m gonna clean the shit out of it, which means full disassembly and scrubbing all the little fiddly bits. Can’t take it apart with the safety on, 'cause the slide would be blocked. Probably wouldn’t flip the safety on after I got it all dry and back together because, yay it’s photo time.

Alternative possibility, same reasoning: I store pistols with chamber flags in, so I can be sure there’s not a round in the chamber. This necessitates slightly open slides, and safeties that interfere with the slide can’t be kept on in that state.

Yes, the same one that the US government bipartisanly gave the president permission to to attack one month after it was officially established.

nah it’s fine

What was taxing was the social and societal side effects

I never found mine to be taxing, but I gravitate toward that schedule rapidly when left to my own devices. It’s a standard 9-5 that kills me.

I always find the “don’t get addicted to ADHD meds” directed at us very funny, because, like, addiction would be the best thing to have in an ADHD med. I keep forgetting to take it. I never forget my nicotine.

Beans are so good that I’m beginning to suspect that they domesticated us

The technical term is “American civil religion”
