Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And then, "The thing with pieces of Communist trash, is that they just don't break."
There's a lot of Communist trash that not only breaks, but also blows up the people shooting it. The great Communist trash achievement is the AK-47, which has surely killed more people than any other hand-held weapon ever made. They are ludicrously inaccurate, appallingly machined and have a kick like the proverbial mule. However, soldiers are being killed today in Afghanistan by 30-year-old AKs that have had essentially no maintenance.
AK-47s are easy to recognize, with their curved ammo clips: [link]

BWAHAHAHA!
I am reading this wikepedia thing on the AK-47: [link]
In general, to produce a big wound, a bullet should either tumble (yaw) or break apart upon entering a body. The round fired by the AK-47 doesn't always do this:
Depending on where the bullet impacts and at what depth it yaws, the AK-47 is capable of producing a range of wounding effects. In the absence of yaw, the M43 load can pencil through lung tissue with relatively little injury.[27] On a direct hit to the cranium, hydrostatic shock can cause the head to explode.[28] Even in the absence of yaw and a large temporary cavity, a hit to the shoulder can produce significant lung hemorrhaging attributed to stress wave transmission.
So, aim for the head, not the lungs.
whoot! sold a book. I also just packed a box. kinda silly, I know, but it was all lightweight bulky kitchen stuff that I don't need out.
dinner used up some frozen sausage, a little flour and perishables. not the best I could have done, but at least not buying anything.
11.5 weeks to go.
