Overnight Open Thread (7-8-2015)One of these three that's who. The US Military is Now Shifting to Hollow-point Pistol Ammunition I've long wondered why we abjured using hollow point ammunition given that we never signed Article IV of the 1899 Hague Convention.. Plus 9mm hollow point ammo has come a long way in the last twenty years. A military lawyer who made a presentation during the Industry Day noted that the United States is not a signatory to the Hague Conventions which outlawed the use of "dum-dum" and expanding bullets more than a century ago. It is the military's position that the shift to jacketed hollowpoint (JHP) ammunition, which more efficiently transfers energy to the target and which presents much less of a risk of over-penetration, is more humane and less of a risk to innocent civilians downrange in modern combat where there are often no clear front lines.
Over the Next 2 Years The US Army Will Lose the Equivalent of the Entire Romanian Army 9th Circuit Federal Judge Alex Kozinski Indicts the US Justice System There are disturbing indications that a non-trivial number of prosecutors-and sometimes entire prosecutorial offices- engage in misconduct that seriously undermines the fairness of criminal trials. The misconduct ranges from misleading the jury, to outright lying in court and tacitly acquiescing or actively participating in the presentation of false evidence by police. Jack Neely: Was The South Ever Confederate Anyway? Well Tennessee - and especially East Tennessee - definitely had ambiguous and conflicted feelings about secession and the Confederacy but I wonder if this was as true for the other Southern states. People of European and African ancestry have been living in the South for 400 years. The Confederacy lasted for four years, about 1 percent of that time. And even during that 1 percent, a large proportion of the people who lived in the South-perhaps even a majority-were skeptical of the Confederacy.... When Communism Failed the First Time in America MTV Making a Documentary About White People Which is really about 'white privilege' rather than actual white people. Not to be confused with Martin Mull's documentary on white people from the 80s. Keith Olbermann Out at ESPN. Again. Apparently he could have stayed there if he was willing to stop engaging in commentary. But Olbermann's gotta Olbermann and so he's out. In an America new to microphones, the unconscious cultural expectation was that public announcements were couched in a theatrical style - theatrical, as in pitched to be heard unamplified in an auditorium by hundreds or thousands at a time. That tone seemed as natural to people of this time as, for example, recording artists releasing packages of songs of roughly an hour's length called "albums" seems to us now despite that practice's roots in a particular physical technology now obsolete, or that pop music is today usually sung in a Southern / black cadence even by whites who don't speak that way in real life. Le Shock: Kids of Helicopter Parents Are Sputtering Out in College Age of Wonders: A Company is Now Offering 'Earth Friendly' Tampons For Post-Op Transgender Women One of my mother's artist friends used to make super-realistic food sculpture as a lark when I was a kid. I always found her half-eaten brownie pie work incredibly fascinating and yet frustratingly inedible. How many of the movies with scenes here can you name? How To Steal $75K From Walmart With No Weapon Except a Smile Australian Woman Has Had 136 First Dates, But No Second Dates Blonde Australian Belinda Stuckey is one of the most contacted members on the internet dating site eHarmony in her home country, but despite that she remains single. But has never had a second date with any of them. Given that she's 35 and the clocks a tickin' perhaps she should reconsider her selection and rejection criteria just a bit. Because a second date does not equal marriage and it'd be hard to do worse than 0 for 136 anyway. The Group knows your sins and pretends to forgive them.
