Also worth noting: Wray's statements were made in response to questions asked by Jim Jordan.

This isn't something Democrats went looking to dig up. It got stirred up by one of Trump's frothiest allies.

Beyond physical injury, Trump's description of the event -- along with Wray saying the FBI is unsure -- really makes me lean toward it not being a direct wound.

Trump said he heard bullets "whizzing" by. A supersonic bullet directly next to your ear isn't going to make a whizzing sound like on TV; there's going to be a loud, distinct crack from the sonic boom as it passes by.

I fully believe Trump would be leaning into that hard if that's what he'd heard. "It was like thunder next to my head. The loudest thunder. The greatest thunder you've ever heard. HUEG thunder." It's exactly the kind of thing he loves to play up.

You tell them you don’t work for $500.

Or you tell them that you do.

Per hour.

But since they're clearly such great mates with dad, you can cut them a deal.

Crowdstrike is very entrenched in healthcare. Hospitals were routinely at capacity in 2020.

The outage this weekend probably killed some people due to disruptions in delivering care. It definitely would have then.

Also worth noting: 2K is incredibly toxic and regular paint filter masks are useless for preventing it from getting into your lungs. It's supposed to be used while wearing positive pressure ventilated PPE.

Probably not the best choice for redecoration on the move.

To expand a little bit for those that don't want to click through:

5.56 penetrates hard targets because it concentrates energy across a small cross-sectional area due to its small diameter. It delivers a lot of energy to a small point which helps it push through hard objects.

5.56 similarly does not over penetrate in soft targets due to its dimensions: the projectile is narrow and relatively long, with the weight biased to the rear. This means that when it penetrates a soft object, the heavier tail end retains more energy and wants to flip past the tip of the projectile. Because the projectile is long and narrow, it tends to break apart when that happens. That quickly dumps the energy in the projectile and causes the large wounding effect being described above. Since the smaller fragments have less energy, they come to a stop much faster than a solid projectile would.

tl;dr saying 5.56 is capable of both punching through steel and also generally won't overpenetrate in soft targets is accurate because physics

Rules-making agencies have to conform to the the statute when issuing rules. They can interpret within the bounds defined by the law, but they aren't allowed to invent regulation wholesale.

That's kind of the point of this suit. The ATF's rule appears to conflict with the statutory text; if the court decides that to be the case, then the statute takes precedent and the rule gets invalidated.

This comment coming from someone on a .de instance is just icing on the cake.

It is. And the price of ESUs goes up each year that a product is EOL.

You can also just spend $10 on a domain name with a registrar that offers dynamic DNS. Offhand, both Namecheap and Cloudflare do. I have no idea what my public IP address is because my router just updates it automatically for me. Plenty of DDNS desktop clients around if your router can't for whatever reason.

The PT Cruiser was more or less a Dodge Neon with a funny looking body shell on top, meaning engineering cost to bring it to market was pretty minimal.

The Cybertruck is... pretty much the opposite of that. Tesla has spent literally years trying to get the thing to market meaning it's failure will be far more painful than PT Cruiser sales tapering off was for Chrysler.

PEDS aren't limited to bulking up via steroids. A lot of PEDS use is about shortening recovery time. As an example, cycling is the kind of sport you're describing where increased bulk is a disadvantage and doping in the sport has been absolutely endemic for years. It's what the Lance Armstrong controversy was about and Armstrong was more representative of the norm at high levels than not.
