Frost I think you'll like the last three posts this guy made.

Is it bad that I, before reading the answer of the "riddle", gave the exact same answer?

Nah, ya were just thinking about the most efficient way to deal with the squad.

[Frost]

If their retreat was off the table and I actually had to cripple the squad, I'd hit the gunner first (if I could, I'd disable the gun itself so another of the men couldn't pick it up) then I'd hit the radioman (having reinforcements or airstrikes called down on me isn't fun) then the squad leader, to help prevent them from staying organized.


At that point, what I'd do would depend on whether or not I had explosives or nearby allies.

Plan B would be to disable the machine gun and wound the gunner, and Plan C would be the same for the radio and its operator.

There is one problem with the answer, if they have a radio operator all they have to do is call in a sniper and you're out of business. If you're trying to keep people away that's grand, otherwise not so much.

I suppose the scenario in question is based around the sniper being placed for area-denial more than anything. Regardless, I've edited my answer after further consideration.

Sadly, it appears promotions in the Army do not work the Klingon way. Unfortunate, since there was a Captain in the office today. Was.

My sister's car was showing some abnormal behavior, the engine doing some kind of vibrating noise, lacking acceleration, and sucking a bit more gas than usual.

I accompanied her while she showed it to the mechanic. He sat in the car, turned the key, listened to the engine for fifteen second, and said :

"Y'know, s'not surprising considering she's runnin' on three cylinders instead of four."

She had been driving it since saturday with a dead cylinder.

I think that's a testament to just how robust these things are, when you think about it.

Strangely, I find I concentrate easier on writing papers when drinking tea.

In other news, my tea consumption has shot up this semester. And my stress level. Because gftgfhyiugtfdswadghg

There's some dude preaching at my campus, now while I don't agree with what he's saying I don't think it's right for the bunch of other students to be rude and heckle the guy. Why don't they just walk away if they don't agree?

@ CBnumber : you're aware that's a really dickish move to do to someone with a phobia, right ?

And pass the occasion to feel superior to someone and act like a bully with the implicit moral support of your social circle and the people around you ? What kind of alien are you ?

this is officially the best day of my life!

That's nothing.  My mom has a massive phobia of hell for some reason.  Like if you say, "<x> will make you go to hell" she will start panicking for no reason whether or not what was said is actually in the bible.  Well anyways one time I scared her silly cause the prank made her think the reaper was coming to drag her to hell and she slowly turned around white as snow from how pale she was and realized I was just pulling a prank. . . Needless to say I'm no longer allowed to pull pranks on anyone anymore.

This. This has happened before at my campus many times.

Really, people, all you're accomplishing is making yourselves look like petulant children. Engage in civil discourse and debate, not monkey behavior.

This is not something you should take pride in.

I'm pretty much banned universally from holding pranks ever again, cause my idea of a mild prank would be if someone is afraid of clowns and blood to have a birthday party where I dress up as the clown from "IT" and have water balloons filled with red food dye.

ITT we learn CBf1ve has no empathy

Actually I do have empathy.  My personal opinion is that fear and other emotions that are stereotyped as negative traits are necessities to function in life and that without them we can not function.  Like let's say someone has a fear of pain and death.  It is that fear of pain and/or dying that keeps a person from walking into oncoming traffic.  A person who has never felt fear or pain in their life do not have the capacity to understand physical danger.  If such a person has never felt fear or pain was to be held at gunpoint by a person mugging them chances are they would not recognize the danger of a gun cause they have never felt pain and thus do not recognize the danger it poses.

[Frost]

I hope you realize that's not clever in the slightest, that's just being a shithead

[Frost]

Earth to cb, fear is instinctual. You don't need training to feel fear. 

Believe it or not, other people have intelligence. We don't need you to hold our hands through life.

While I agree on second part, I'd disagree on first one.
