Did you compute for air in the barrel after calling out there was no air in space? Just curious about that, s'all.

With that, there would be a hell of a suction on the bullet after the cartridge was fired. Also, the detonation doesn't happen all in one go and continues as the bullet moves to the muzzle. (I did quite a bit of experimenting with that to reduce muzzle flash, actually.) So, the bullet is accelerating until the pressure is released when the bullet passes the muzzle.

While air in the barrel isn't really a factor on earth, surrounding air pressure absolutely is. It affects burn rate most but how it affects burn rate is a characteristic of the powder itself. (In zero-G, I would speculate a slower burn because the powder would be more prone to floating if it wasn't a compressed load.)

When I plan to go to lower altitudes, I typically use lighter loads or I risk over-pressure conditions. (I'll basically just compute for a couple hundred pounds less pressure chamber.)

After all that, I have no fucking clue what would happen in space because the conditions are so wonky.

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

I know that is abused for lots of crap autogenerated YouTube videos.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

Just pretend you are partially deaf and crank the volume to 11.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games....

Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.

If it's useful to you, that is great.

Will rustc not just overwrite the old binary? If you are just doing a cleanup task, that's cool. If nuking the last binary is important, then just do it first:

rm ./code; rustc ./code.rs -o ./code; ./code -mah args

I admire the willingness to share your work, but this is easier to do with a disposable one-liner at the prompt that you can repeat with an up arrow and a carriage return, if needed.

Sure, this script would be perfect for something like a cron job, but that would raise quite a few more questions as to why you would complie on a fixed schedule.

I can think of a few edge-cases where this script would be useful, but it just seems like it adds extra steps where extra steps might not be needed.

So you are saying that a stuffed cat can work with wood, ceramic and plasterboard? Neat.

Well, I would say that some groups are more vulnerable than others. There are a multitude reasons for this and it depends on education level, religious standing, geolocation and plenty of other factors.

It's kind of an odd generalization to say that "the liberals don't realize". Certainly some don't. All parties have their version of "Karen" or grandparents that post insane Facebook rants, after all.

Some groups are far more vocal when repeating Kremlin propaganda verbatim, though. That could easily skew the perception of who is actually believing what.
