Although there are other cars that boast being able to break 300 mph, such as the new Hennessey Venom F5 and the Koenigsegg Jesko that produces 1600hp from its 5.0L twin-turbo V8 and has a theoretical top speed exceeding 300 mph.

If this were the 1950s, the top car makers would have a 300+ mph race to see who is the champion driver in the best car, heedless of blood spilled or money spent!

I'll get you some cheeky OC pics when I visit archives etc ;). Currently looking for accomodation in a Student city. Awful.

Well I'm too old to be a stripper, at least in my own mind. I have a "real" job now. I sell oilfield parts in PA, money is good. Live in a camper in the middle of nowhere.

Life sucks, I basically work for a bunch of people with cushy 6 figures jobs who constantly cry about how hard their live are... I used to work with crackheads and people dying of aids who were less miserable than corporate America... It's a pretty soul crushing experience.

Where do you go from there?

Anyways, it's good to see everyone comes back here from time to time. A great and many thanks to those of you who have kept opchan up throughout the years.

I'm tired of this economy.

British EOB armor
Designed by the Munitions Inventions Board c.1915-17.
Steel breastplate and additional plates in canvas, 40-layers silk neckguard also wrapped in canvas.
The Standard Model Breastplate 1916-17 was produced and issued in large number starting in 1917, although there were never enough of them to equip more than 2% of the British army. These protections were developed following a studies of wounds received by soldiers on the front, showing that beside extremities the neck body and head received an equal amount of hurt. Although even the slimmest amount of head protection could save a life, making a body armor which advantages outdid its encumbrance.

I read years ago how thick layers of silk proved effective in bulletproof vests.
In the late 1800s, both Japan and Korea developed some of the first modern bulletproof vests when they discovered that 30 layers of silk fabric could stop the black powder bullets of the day. This "soft armor" laid the foundation for numerous inventors who tried to improve upon the idea as firearms became more powerful.
A priest from Chicago named Casimir Zeglen, with the help of fellow inventor Jan Szczepanik, devised a special way to weave a 1.6mm steel plate between four layers of silk. Zeglen claimed his 1/8" thick, 1/2 lb. vest could stop a .44 caliber—and he proved it when he volunteered to be shot before a live audience in New York City. When he was struck by the bullet at only 10 paces, he said he felt just "a tap." Zeglen and his "bullet proof cloth" became an overnight sensation. Egged on by the positive publicity, Zeglen left the priesthood in order to pursue his new business venture. https://mentalfloss.com/article/24039/brief-history-bulletproof-vests

Sadly, he never made his fortune, in part due to bad timing and bad luck. When the U.S. Military tested his invention, they found that it was too hot and too expensive thanks to the amount of silk required. Undaunted, Zeglen then offered one to President McKinley in the hopes it might spur interest. After contacting the White House, Zeglen was told he could meet the President in a month, as McKinley was going to be too busy traveling. Two weeks later in Buffalo, McKinley was shot and killed by an assassin's bullet that ripped through his abdomen. Zeglen's vest would have easily stopped the .32 caliber round.

Zeglen did manage to get Archduke Franz Ferdinand to accept one of his vests.

Unfortunately, Ferdinand was killed while wearing it. The kill shot hit him in the neck, well above the vest itself, but it didn't matter—the bad publicity didn't help and Zeglen was soon out of business.

  Cheap AR-15 Meltdown! https://youtu.be/7cr9e3N6HEw
Special thanks to our friends at Quiet Riot Firearms in McDonough, GA for providing the M16 lower for this video. In this Meltdown, we take an entry level upper from Palmetto State Armory and shoot it full auto until failure. It's very interesting to see how various levels of quality in the components really make a difference in these tests. Stay Tuned, much more on the way.

440 rounds until the gas tube melted.

STFU Commie filth.

We need the Brazilian perspective.
- Brazilian Model 1908 Mauser Rifle in 7x57mm Mauser (Mfg by Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken, Berlin [DWM])
The Mauser Modelo 1908 long rifle became the standard infantry rifle for the Brazilian Army in 1908. The rifles were produced by DWM, then owned by the Ludwig Loewe Company. DWM, in turn contracted some rifles out to Mauser Oberndorf, which was also owned by Loewe at the time. The maker of any particular rifle can be determined by looking at the address – if Berlin, it is made by DWM. If Oberndorf, it is made by Mauser. The DWM made rifles are more commonly encountered. The contract ran from 1908 until the outbreak of war in 1914. The rifles are essentially the same as the German Gew98 with the most obvious exception being the tang style sight employed in lieu of the Lange-Vernier sight used on the Gew98. The receiver and bolt were left in the white, as was the bayonet lug. The remainder of the rifle was either chemically blued or heat blued. The stocks were made of walnut and retain the pre-1905 Gew98 style stock washer as opposed to the bolt takedown disk then in use on the German issue rifles. https://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=265-Brazilian-Model-1908-Mauser-Rifle-(Mfg-by-DWM)

Nice crest.

>>113026
The guns from that are all have nice crests. I had a griend whose grandpa had a revolver from that time period (or it was a 1930s one, can't remember) with the same crest. Glorious.

An interesting Brazilian plane is the Embraer A-29A (aka EMB 314) Super Tucano, an inexpensive turboprop counter-insurgency and light attack aircraft that's also used as a trainer.

Another interesting turboprop light attack plane is the Piper PA-48 Enforcer close air support aircraft built by Piper in the 1970s. It is a development of the World War II-era North American P-51 Mustang fighter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-48_Enforcer

>you gotta believe me guise, my brother died in the 'stan

With the police having the ability to run DNA tests on Lauren's torso, which is exactly what they did, they would have found Stephen's DNA as well. However, they did not. Only Lauren's DNA. This is also how they confirmed that the torso was, in fact, hers. If Stephen did sexually accost Lauren, it would have been too hard to miss. With a case like this, they look for DNA that would not match the victim, leading them to a person of interest. But, Stephen's DNA was nowhere to be found on or "in" Lauren, meaning, he did not sexually accost her before or after the killing. I am NOT taking sides of any kind here for that will bring mixed opinions. However, I AM pointing out a simple and obvious answer to a rumor, that is indeed false. Stephen was not found guilty due to any DNA evidence. It was due to a poor cover-up of his act. Yet, he did plead guilty, and that was what really settled the uproar and took him down. With technology and techniques used by detectives, they would have, with no doubt, known whether or not Stephen committed any form of sexual act on Lauren. And they found, he did not.

So what you're saing is that SoL was still a virgin before prison?

>>110132
Wait how does being a murderer prove he's a pedo? Cops plant that shit all the time, it lets them get warrants from boomer judges for anything they want.

It's like cops saying "i smell gas" or "i heard help" before busting down a door without warrants.

It looks like the CP charge is going to stick to him forever.
It was never put to trial and SoL only ever confessed to the murder, but now vindictive former classmates who've become government officials are gleefully using that unproven CP accusation against him in parole hearings as if he was convicted of it. Dishonest folks like that to getting their hands on positions of authority used to be considered troublesome, especially in the legal system, but it seems like its tolerated these days.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- Almost 200 victims of violent crimes got their voices heard in Augusta and helping the Georgia parole board make decisions in more than 70 cases.

"I always knew I wanted to hold those accountable for their crimes," said Ashley Muller, the assistant district attorney at the Augusta Judicial Circuit.

Ashley Muller is not only an assistant district attorney in Augusta, but violent crime also touched her life in a different way.

"Not only did McDaniel kill, dismember and dispose of my friend's body he also had multiple images of child pornography on his computer. This man is a horrendous person and he should never ever see the light of day again," said Muller.

If you hate crowds so much and want to be a hunter-gatherer, you can do that now. Go live in some remote location, like the wilderness in Montana, the deserts in Arizona, the plains in Wyoming, or live among other aboriginal hunter-gatherers in Australia or Africa. Be prepared for a harsh and short life, though. Scrounging around for food, water and shelter is exhausting, I have heard.

AVERAGE WORLDWIDE HUMAN life expectancy reached 66 years in the first quinquennium of the twenty-first century, with extremes at the country level ranging from 39 years in Zambia to 82 years in Japan (United Nations 2007). Average life expectancy has increased linearly at almost three months per year over the past 160 years. Among traditional hunter-gatherers, the average life expectancy at birth varies from 21 to 37 years. https://condensedscience.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/life-expectancy-in-hunter-gatherers-and-other-groups/
