101 re: Rifle Length:

Japanese Army Arisaka 6.5mm rifles in the first decade of the 1900s were 50 inches long, without bayonet. I expect the Japanese bayonets of that period had a blade about 12 inches long. So, 62 inches overall length, a bit over 5 feet, for the weapon.

104 Bill Kristol seems to confuse the "Evil Empire" speech with the "Tear Down This Wall" speech some 4 years later.

The "Evil Empire" speech was a speech delivered by U.S. President Ronald Reagan to the National Association of Evangelicals on March 8, 1983 during the Cold War. In that speech, Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an "evil empire" and as "the focus of evil in the modern world". Reagan was told by his advisors not to do this, but it provided an inspiration to those behind the Iron Curtain that the Soviet Union was the problem.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall", also known as the Berlin Wall Speech, was a speech delivered by United States President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987. Reagan called for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open the Berlin Wall, which had separated West and East Berlin since 1961. This speech is not about regime change or a coup, but rather about freedom.

120 104 Bill Kristol seems to confuse the "Evil Empire" speech with the "Tear Down This Wall" speech some 4 years later.

The "Evil Empire" speech was a speech delivered by U.S. President Ronald Reagan to the National Association of Evangelicals on March 8, 1983 during the Cold War. In that speech, Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an "evil empire" and as "the focus of evil in the modern world". Reagan was told by his advisors not to do this, but it provided an inspiration to those behind the Iron Curtain that the Soviet Union was the problem.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall", also known as the Berlin Wall Speech, was a speech delivered by United States President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987. Reagan called for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open the Berlin Wall, which had separated West and East Berlin since 1961. This speech is not about regime change or a coup, but rather about freedom.

Friday was Junior's karate graduation (he's now a green belt), and I saw an adult student's face for the first time. He's apparently a doctor and chose this week to finally take off the mask.

I went to church and there's a family I have some familiarity with (Junior and one of their boys were at the same pre-school for a couple of years), and they are all still in masks. Even the little kids. The mother works in the hospital system but not in any sort of medical capacity. She's an administrator.

158 111 Rifle Length:
Japanese Army Arisaka 6.5mm rifles in the first decade of the 1900s were 50 inches long, without bayonet. I expect the Japanese bayonets of that period had a blade about 12 inches long. So, 62 inches overall length, a bit over 5 feet, for the weapon.

When the bayonet charge is still one of your basic assault tactics, having your rifle double as a spear is a feature not a bug.

Most military rifles were looong in that period for the "spear" reason. The basic infantry rifle for the Germans in WW2 was the Mauser 98K, K for Karbiner (carbine), a shortened version of the Mauser 98 rifle used in WW1.

185 There are two types of Arisakas primarily used in wwii. Type 38 which was the replacement of the older type 30 which has a length of 50 inches without a bayonet and the later type 99 which is shorter due to a shorter barrel and is 44 inches long without the bayonet. There are carbine versions of the type 38 and a rare musket length type 99 that is almost 50 inches. The type 44 carbine was derived from the type 38 model. Then there are oddballs such as italian made carcanos chambered in 6.5 Japanese, training rifles, paratroopers models and so on.

The Arisaka Type 99 rifle or Type 99 short rifle, introduced in 1939, that became the standard Japanese rifle in WW2, was 44 inches long.

It also stepped up to 7.7mm caliber from the previous standard 6.5mm for rifles.

189 The most common Japanese bayonet by far was the Type 30, which was used on most of the Japanese rifles from 1897 to 1945. It was even attached to light machine guns! The designation Type 30 comes from its adoption in the 30th year of the reign of the Meiji Emperor, i.e. 1897 (the Meiji Emperor was Emperor Hirohito's grandfather). The overall length of a typical Type 30 bayonet is 510 mm (20-1/16"), with the blade comprising 398 mm (15-5/8") of that.

197 Luckily in my burg, few people ever wore masks. Even during the height of the stupidity. So I never had much interaction with mask wearers.

I have a boat dock neighbor who is a doctor. In 2020 in April/May peak hysteric time, as we said hi for the first time of the season, I said I can put one on around you if you want. I was polite that way, figure he is a doctor he must be ultra cautious and shit. And he was like nah fuck that noise man. Masks dont do shit for this.

But funnily enough while doctors I know had that attitude, nurses were the exact opposite. Would not go anywhere without double masking or wearing those visor things. Always found that really interesting.

198 I found out how many PA residents died of the coof, it was a third of a percent. So I then went to FL's data, and the death percent (out of entire population) is also about a third of a percent.

I needed the FL stats so that when I get hit with "BUT IT WAS THE MASKS AND THE VAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXX that kept the deaths down!!@!"

I just give them the stats for a state with no masks throughout most of the pandemic.

Years ago I was on a left leaning, but not political board.

Someone decided to have fun by taking a map that showed who voted R vs D per state and putting it on top of a fat map. Haha those Republican voters in the southern states are fat!

Then someone else broke it down by county and supplied the racial makeup of the counties. And it turns out the fat southerners were mostly in minority districts that voted D. Which was racist apparently to notice, and no longer at all funny.

Since covid kills overweight people, and people with lower vitamin D levels, I'm guessing there is the same pattern here with a place like Mississippi.

253 Zillow is pretty good for values of homes that have a lot of comps. Your typical suburban 4/3 house where there are 100 others just like it in your subdivision.

But as soon as you get a bit away from that Zillow is useless. Like my house is 100 years old in a hood of 100 year old houses. Every house is unique. Some have a new roof, some have a 20 year old roof that needs replacing and will cost $30k. Some have $100k of recent renovation some have a kitchen and bathrooms from 1991.

Zillow has no clue about any of this and so their value is make believe.

255 175, Grump, the primary reason for long 'musket' length barrels was a hangover from black powder rifle barrels to get the maximum performance from them for volley fire and also for distance. Almost all first generation smokeless rifles (aside from carbines for cavalry and support troops), had musket length barrels. Britain with its no 1, mark 3 aka smle and the us 1903 rifle got rid of the carbine model for one std barrel length that was a compromise shorter barrel.

Posted by: G'rump928(c), not an Ace endorsed commenter at March 28, 2022 10:15 AM (yQpMk)


True.

16" M1905 bayonets were standard issue at the start of WW2, and the Army started manufacturing lots more. Then the Army learned that the long '05 bayonet created problems with them on the soldiers' belts, when exiting now-universal troop transport vehicles. And another problem if the troops were ordered to fix bayonets while in the new vehicles and landing craft. So...the Army developed the new M1 bayonet with a 10" blade; it became standard issue in 1943. The Army also had commercial companies cut-down the blades of as many old and new '05 bayonets as Ordnance could get its hands on, from 16" to 10". A lot of those were issued before the M1's became available

The idea of looking up to actors is probably a leftover of the Golden Age of Hollywood when actors and actresses had highly tailored public images. Now that their real personalities have been visible for decades and we can see the venal, shallow, stupid people they really are, the reality is probably pretty different.

Lowry is on her side. It's simple partisan behavior at its core. Maybe he is actually okay with child porn, but I'm betting it's just, "Democrats want her on the court, so I do too."

It's just odd that he runs a purported conservative magazine at the same time.

If a Republican says something that might make the public upset about a Democrat it is automatically racist, sexist, etc etc

So they are ONLY supposed to talk about things the public doesn't care about.

425 WRT Will Smith.
When I saw the video clip of Will Smith/Chris Rock, what I saw was a man who grew balls and went to defend his wife.

The Hollywood Elite (and not so elite - Chris Rock) are nothing but narcissistic, self important, shallow individuals who take every opportunity to push their world view on the rest of us, and tearing down everything that is counter to it. They have been pushing the boundaries of not only what is acceptable, but what is unacceptable, profane and obscene because they can. And this ends up in our society and culture.

I watched Will Smith stand up and say "Enough!". Did it have to get physical? It takes a few broken eggs to make an omelet.

440 Sgt. Rock > Chris Rock

441 WRT Will Smith.
When I saw the video clip of Will Smith/Chris Rock, what I saw was a man who grew balls and went to defend his wife.


Hmm. I don't know.

If a cuck "defends" his cucker from a very weak ass joke, does that make him more of a man or more of a sucker and lap dog?

Discuss.

443 "When I saw the video clip of Will Smith/Chris Rock, what I saw was a man who grew balls and went to defend his wife."

What I saw was yet another example of the unfortunate tendency of black men to respond to 'disses' with violence. Smith isn't expected to be a role model, but that was a bad look and a bad example.

Also, "Avenge the Ukraine!"

There was a time in our culture where dissing one's family was met with an appropriate response. My take on this incident harkens back to that. People are free to say what they want, but they aren't free of the consequences of what they utter.

454 I'd love the Academy to strip Smith of his Oscar, mostly because he's an asshole and his wife is a humorless nympho skank AND because they ruined their children.

Either those asswipes don't know or don't care how much they've squandered their credibility by not pushing back on frauds like Fauci. What used to be a respected profession has been ironically unmasked.
