No problem. I have seen a lot of people think that the army was just tossing huge chunks of uranium around. The actual core made of depleted uranium is quite small, I believe it is less than 300grams in an Abrams 120mm shell. The cores are encased and not very radioactive, but I would bet they are still an environmental hazzard long after they are used. The US started using it when it proved harder of a penetrator than tungsten, and since it is a waste product, it was far cheaper.

You are correct on the Penny. The military still uses a lot of copper and zinc, just not how you are thinking. The “depleted uranium” rounds you are thinking of are anti-armor rounds. This is a fin stabilized sabot round that has a core penetrator made of DU instead of Tungsten, like the Russians use (we use some tungsten core rounds also). The US used these for the Bradley’s main 25mm Bushmaster auto cannon, M1 Abrams tank, 30mm fighter jet cannons and the big boy A-10 Brrrrt gun. Almost all small rounds, think infantry, use full metal jacket rounds. The core of the round (back then, now mostly steel) is made of lead. Then the lead is encased ( or jacketed) with copper. This would apply to 9mm pistol rounds(not used much in combat, if so, it is a bad day), M-16 5.56 rounds, .30 caliber machine gun, and .50 caliber machine and anti material rifles. Copper is used a lot in other areas also, primarily motor windings and generator windings. Zinc is used is almost everywhere as a galvanized coating on ammunition that is not jacketed and other things that have bare steel. The Bradley fires a standard round that is used more often than the DU sabot, called HEAT. This is an explosive round covered in steel with a jacket of zinc for corrosion resistance.

Yeah, but those guys use facts and figures and stuff. This way, Elon can manipulate anything he wants to do whatever they want. Much easier way to allow a fascist takeover.

Hey NATO, you don’t have to send any troops. Just tell the Pentagon that you sent the Swedes and the Finns. When they say “Where? We don’t see anyone” Just respond"Exactly"

Canada and Mexico should work together and add a 25% export fee to oil. I wonder how long these idiots stay in power if gas is $7 or more a gallon.

I am pretty sure you can remove “federal prisons” from that title. They won’t stop until they kill/deport/force to leave, anyone who is an “other” to them.

I’m am pretty sure Trump was thinking that Obama hired Gimmly, and all he does is smash the console with an axe. Happens when half the country looks at Trump and thinks, " Oh ya, this guy is stable enough to run the country"

Thanks, it is not your fault. As I said, it may be legit, but I just feel like everyone wants to be first to report something before fact checking. This incident is very strange, and the suspect seems to be all over the map. There was an article yesterday that reported on his very recent communications with his ex girlfriend. Matthew was currently engaged (previous marriage and divorce) and had a young child. Strange that he is communicating with his ex( not his previous wife), the day before he shoots himself. There are other writings that Vegas police have shared that seem to contradict the incident, so we may never know what actually was going on with him.

Please remember to check the source. I believe Shoemate has been known to falsify emails in the past. Also, if you check out the screenshot he shared on the podcast, the email has spell check cues highlighted. This means it is in edit mode, not a capture of a real email. As someone else posted, the writing style and subject does not seem to match his previous known writing. There may be good explanations for these discrepancies, but I do not trust most of the reporting to actually dig into sources before posting online to get clicks.

Chris Pratt is married to Kathrine Eunice Schwarzenegger, who is the daughter of Arnold and Maria (Shriver). He has 3 children with her, all of which have John F Kennedy as a Great Uncle.

This can be a good lesson for anyone buying a vehicle. There are 3 items in a sale: the vehicle, the title, and the money. No one person should have all 3 items. Also, do not buy cars from people without the title, or title complications. These type of sales are a risk, and unless you are willing to lose the money, stay away. I always like to do a pre inspection, or have someone I trust do one, as that is a good way to mitigate the risk.

I too, disagree with the idea of unions. There should be no need for such a thing, as all labor would be fairly compensated, all companies would care and respect their employees and share the profits with those that create it. Unfortunately, the rich can not be trusted, and a fair playing field won’t be voluntary or given to us freely from them.

Boy, I guess Iran really is funding terrorists to attack our wide open Biden borders. How else to explain a suicide car bomb in a 300k Bentley, speeding back after a day of drinking at a casino? Checkmate libtards. /s
