Haha. No one else was helping the poor girl. Regardless of how bad mine was, she is still in better shape than "I may eat my starkist, but when I eat my Starkist at least I don't do this or that....."
While I was just sitting around eating my Starkist
Y'all made intentional innuendos; I get the jist
Y'all gave me shit for my tuna
But now it's my time to turn around and impugn ya
Frankly I am tired of carrying around this tool
So I am about to pass it on to the next fool
It has already been said twice. One more time and he will tell CH how he is a coward for not telling the court that cameras are unconstitutional and the he conscientiously objects to "serving" the fine.
So, I think we have the sent-beam spread part all figured out:
I used an isosceles triangle to represent the beam and then bisected the angle to create two right triangles. Using a basic trig function (tangent of 2.5- half of the angle), I figured out the beam spread for ClearedHot's suggest distances of 80',100', and 120'. The figures I arrived at are 7.04', 8.80', and 10.56' respectively. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to calculate the size of the reflected beam? Would using a similar triangle to represent the reflected beam work or should we use something in proportion, only slight larger?
So if it ever came to it, they are planning on engaging a Raptor in a dogfight? That kind of sounds like a failure in design. "Less stealthy" leads me to believe our Raptors are going to find them first.*
*If the Raptors ever fly again
This is a really good point. Where is PYB when you need him?
And just to save someone else the time, I tried refractive indices and it only hurts his case.
Some questions:
How sure are you of the 120' measurement? Is her bumper parallel to the whatever-the-######-that-is in the median? If not, how far behind is she? Are the lane widths reduced to eight feet because of the construction? You cannot contest this unless you are absolutely positive of your measurements and I cannot make the calculations unless they are complete. They will also inquire as to what makes you qualified to determine these things. If you were a mathematics or physics major, then you should be OK with it.
Awesome, I am busy at work today but I can definitely help when I get home.. I fought the man of Pennsylvania for a very similar ticket and won. An officer clocked me after going through the turnpike entrance and I proved I was not speeding based on where he claimed he clocked me and what time I had on the ticket. Yay trigonometry and physics!
I was not sure about the part about buying out of state. I just remembered someone in a nearby detachment went up to New Hampshire to inquire about buying a rifle. I was hoping I could buy one in NH because everything is cheaper up there- like Midwest cheap. Thanks for the heads up about Bud's. I will definitely look into this soon.
Anything really specific I should mind for or just get a general feeling?
Yeah, we are retarded.
I was not going to buy online, but should I? I was planning on getting my license and then going up to New Hampshire. I am not sure what I can tell you about the 1911 other than it is silver with brown grips and was made sometime in the 1940's.
I want to learn how to shoot a gun before I go to FT and also for self-defense. I am going to live on my own for the rest of college (and likely thereafter) and would prefer to keep one in the house. I chose those specific guns because those are the ones my parents have. Instead of buying a new one, I could have one of theirs. I figured the Desert Eagle would be too much, but having never fired one I could not be too sure.
Yes, I will obviously get instruction. I am not going to take it outside to start shooting at turkeys. You call the 1911 "jam-o-matic" because that is a frequent problem? If it is something I can learn how to fix then that is no problem, but I do not want to invest a lot of money.
Thank you Timbonez, Beaver, and M2. I really appreciate the wisdom.
In terms of accuracy, ease of firing, easy to find ammo, dependency (does not jam, ect), and power, which of these following guns is best: Desert Eagle, Magnum, Colt 45, or Python?
