I just think reflex style suppressors that put the expansion chamber around the barrel are neat.

As long as it isn't completely incompetent, I prefer english dubs to Japanese subs of anime
(lemmy.world)
I like to actually concentrate on the animation rather than splitting my attention between it and text. Since I don't speak Japanese I get absolutely nothing out of the Japanese audio voices such as the importance of inflictions in dialog. I'd rather hear a language I understand so that I can understand performances. I'll only chose a sub if the english dub is outstandingly bad, but in most cases I find the dubs perfectly fine.
I think that while some non-Japanese speakers genuinely prefer the Japanese audio, I suspect there is a large group who only claim to prefer it for performative reasons or people who stay quiet because they know if they voice an opinion preferring dubs they'll get dogpiled by the rest of the fandom.
complete lack of understanding of personal responsibility

Up and at them.
Slight update/revision to a developing story. This video shows off the sear and striker interaction, along with some plausible theories on what's making it slip.
I feel fundamentally uncomfortable with sois vide using plastic.
I was talking about criminal bench trials. I skipped right over civil because there isn't a guilty verdict as an outcome. Yes, I know it is very nitpicky.
Bill Ruger made comments supporting magazine capacity bans.
[US] I'm trying to think of common cases where a judge is the one declaring guilt that would warrant a massively expensive lawyer.
You have informal hearings on things like traffic court where the judges decide, but really a cheap lawyer that specializes in traffic stuff will have a decent chance of getting a ticket reduced. Probably because the lawyer is willing to make reasonable asks to the prosecutor rather than the judge for a reduction and the judge just signs off. Technically still pleading guilty and being found guilty, just of something lesser. People who represent themselves in traffic court seem to want to go straight to the judge rather than negotiate with the prosecutor and when the usually lame story gets told they get found guilty.
For criminal cases, normally it is a jury deciding. Expensive lawyers can put on a good show and do more research but the decision of guilt ultimately goes to the jury not the judge. I guess you could sub in a jury for the judge in the comic and I'd see it a little more. Expensive teams can also sift through for details such as what happened in the Alec Baldwin case to find something that got the case rightfully thrown out. The judge did that but it was less declaring not guilty as it was throwing out the case based on prosecutor misconduct.
People can ask for a bench trial, but unless somebody can point to a connection between a bench trial, expensive lawyers, and getting a higher not guilty rate I don't see it. It does seem, merely anecdotally, that pro se defendants seem to move for bench trials more than represented defendants, and they tend to lose. That seems less about expensive lawyer and more about having no lawyer at all and then just verbally farting in court until the verdict.
Civil cases don't have "guilty" or "not guilty" outcomes.
From what I've perceive of the average everyday non-sensational case, a public defender or a reasonably priced lawyer can do the job. The biggest hurdle is a combination of defendants' inability to shut up to the cops and court, and if there is other damning evidence the stubbornness of a defendant to take a reasonable deal and insisting on going to trial with bad facts against them.
Anyway too much dissection of silly internet comic.
Walther got the contract for their PDPs for German Special Forces.
Maybe Walther wasn't confident they could produce the numbers needed for regular forces.

If you like striker guns, there are plenty on the market. Glock is certainly the old reliable choice, although there are plenty of like M&P's offerings.
If you're open to other mechanisms, that really opens things up. It depends on if it's meant to be a carried gun or some other criteria which would help narrow it down. For a carry gun I lean towards something smaller even if it sacrifices the best comfort when shooting. I'd rather something easier to actually carry. For that I like the LCPMAX. It's double action only, which gives it the same simplicity and consistency as a striker. Even though it's DAO, the trigger pull is actually pretty similar to a Glock's weight. It is in .380 though, so if you want to keep all your current 9mm you can go for the slightly larger LC9.
