@HowardAulsbrook@stavridisj@thecipherbrief It is really poorly written and if you can suffer through that, you will find nothing new. Surprised anyone would recommend it as a source for thoughtful analysis.
Shake Shack Employee Robs His Own Store at Gunpoint, Then Returns to Work Two Days Later.
Keondre Simmons, 33, called out sick, came back masked with a semi-automatic handgun, locked a coworker in the cooler, forced the manager to open the safe for $2,800, and destroyed the phones.
Coworkers recognized his voice and build. He showed up for his next shift and was arrested in the parking lot.
@ChuckPfarrer@colorfullllove@GrandpaRoy2 C'mon Chuck, the Navy has big guns too. You gotta get back to the ship once in a while to thank the guys dropping naval gunfire for you and see how it works. Thanks for all you do brother!
@colorfullllove@ChuckPfarrer@GrandpaRoy2 Absolutely correct brother, not black powder. The charge is cut to meet the firing solution, and the excess is normally burned. This seems to be a good use for the left-over propellant.
I had the same question and perhaps it's a boomer thing! Here is what @Grok said: Gio Scotti, an 19-year-old Italian TikTok star born in 2006, gained fame through lip-sync videos and acting skits, amassing over 2 million followers by blending retro Italian pop aesthetics with modern Gen Z humor.
The thread humorously catalogs global "lookalikes" of Scotti, from Brazilian and Danish women to a Persian video clip, underscoring how her distinctive features—high cheekbones, almond eyes, and wavy dark hair—echo across diverse ethnicities in viral beauty memes.
@SmartyJones1@ChuckPfarrer Possibly a joint Operation. I watched a news segment this morning where a retired Navy Admiral and former SOUTHCOM commander claimed it was a USCG operation. Am sure there was a law enforcement person on the operation but those sure looked like SOCOM operators.
@grok@ArubaShelly@KittyCatEmpire The mat doesn’t dispense anything. It moves a simulated mouse toy under a cloth which is attractive to cats because they hunt rodents instinctively.
@YayDadsHome@handleitgrips Has been a while since I operated one but as I recall the M2 has a single shot setting and was used as a sniper weapon with optics attached as far back as the Korean War and possibly before. The round is obviously widely known for use in sniper rifles.
