I do appreciate you answering the question about how you pay rent. One more item in the list of things that make your landlady’s actions stupid. As for the people here, on the internet you are going to run into plenty of people who don’t agree with you, who misunderstand you, who don’t believe what you say, who are looking for an excuse to question what you do tell them so they can out guess you and out guess each other, and thereby feel superior. My advice is to not get too worked up about these people. Focus on what you want to ask and/or say. If you want people to participate, answer their questions truthfully. Don’t worry about “the mean people on the internet”. * * * \*Unless your cause is just to stir up shit. ---

We have achieved a level of technology in military weapons and equipment that no other nation on earth comes close to. So, what weapons and equipment is available to our military service members in times of war and conflict? This series will describe some of the main weapons and equipment items used by our members. It would take a very large book to thoroughly discuss all of the weapons and equipment used by the United States Military today, and I won’t even try. This series will try to cover the highlights, starting with some of the main weapons and equipment used by the Infantry and Special Operations Units. In future parts of this series, I’ll cover military vehicles, including tanks and armor, missiles and artillery, military aircraft, and military ships and submarines. Small Arms The basics of basics are the small arms weapons used by the individual infantryman. Here are the basic small arms used by the United States Army: M16A2 Rifle. The M16A2 is the standard issue rifle. It’s carried by pretty much every soldier in a combat zone. Most people simply call it the M-16. The M-16 has been around in one version or another since the Vietnam war (the first version, the M16A1 entered Army service in 1964). It’s longevity is creditable to its usefulness as a general assault weapon. It’s quite simply one of the finest military rifles ever made (although advocates of the M-4 Carbine may argue with me). The rifle is lightweight, simple to operate, and puts out a lot of lead. The M16A2 5.56mm rifle is a lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder or hip-fired weapon designed for either automatic fire (3-round bursts) or semiautomatic fire (single shot) through the use of a selector lever. The weapon has a fully adjustable rear sight. The bottom of the trigger guard opens to provide access to the trigger while wearing winter mittens. The upper receiver/barrel assembly has a fully adjustable rear sight and a compensator which helps keep the muzzle down during firing. The steel bolt group and barrel extension are designed with locking lugs which lock the bolt group to the barrel extension allowing the rifle to have a lightweight aluminum receiver. Primary function: Infantry weapon Manufacturer: Colt Manufacturing and Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing Inc. Length: 39.63 inches (100.66 centimeters) Weight, with 30 round magazine: 8.79 pounds (3.99 kilograms) Bore diameter: 5.56mm (.233 inches) Maximum effective range: Area target: 2,624.8 feet (800 meters) Point target: 1,804.5 feet (550 meters) Muzzle velocity: 2,800 feet (853 meters) per second Rate of fire: Cyclic: 800 rounds per minute Sustained: 12-15 rounds per minute Semiautomatic: 45 rounds per minute Burst: 90 rounds per minute Magazine capacity: 30 rounds Unit Replacement Cost: $586 ---

No, they weren’t. Everyone and their brother knows the M16 and M60 exist, so quoting wikipedia doesn’t prove anything to counter what he said. What his post was calling into question was the veracity of your claim to be trained/experienced in all the things you claim to be. Not directing this at you, since I’ve not personally met you, but everyone I’ve ever met who ran down a laundry list of military qualifications and training unsolicited, was usually talking out there ass and didn’t have experience beyond Call of Duty and other video games. I think that was what the comment you were responding to was trying to say. ---

I’ma porn star. Cite follows: A pornographic actor/actress or a porn star is a person who appears in pornographic films. Most actors appear nude in films (usually filmed in explicit sexual genres). Most genres have specialists who achieve most of their recognition in a specific niche market such as lesbian sex, bondage, strap-on sex, anal sex, double penetration, semen swallowing, teenage women, interracial or MILFs. Some legal jurisdictions consider commercial pornography a form of prostitution, though most commercial sex film performers do not regard themselves as prostitutes for various reasons, but rather as actors or models.[citation needed] Most notably these performers are not paid directly by their sexual partners for the sex, but both are paid through a studio or Talent Management ---

Dripping specifically stated, “this list was fabricated.” Then he leaves no room for error what he was saying by stating, “the list of so called skills is a wildly inaccurate for any branch of service.” Considering the way dripping makes his statement him and his friend have no clue that the M16 and M60 are real weapons used by those in military. ---

> [@RADTENN](#): > > Considering the way dripping makes his statement him and his friend have no clue that the M16 and M60 are real weapons used by those in military. No, his statement was that is is unlikely that any single military person has expertise in everything you listed (“ **the list** of so-called skills is a wildly inaccurate for any branch of the service”). I have no way of knowing whether that is true, but I do agree with his second statement, that of the many military and ex-military men that I have known, none would consider rattling off a list of their weapons training as a defense for being unfamiliar with some other subject matter. ---

Correct. My friend is currently an officer (not sure on rank) in the Marines. His exact reply back to me was: \*"I call bullshit. This list you sent me is just a hodgepodge of randomly selected skills and weapons which was obviously fabricated by a semi-illiterate civilian (probably a teen), who seems to have watched way too many Rambo movies. It is wildly inaccurate for any branch of the service. Also, combat-hardened vets don’t try to showboat or attempt to intimidate others in this manner, nor would they blab information about their skills and training in this way". \* ---

Am I wrong? I thought that once the lease hit the month to month designation, either party could terminate as they see fit? Meaning the landlord could ask that you move out. I was in this situation where I was in a place only a month longer than the lease agreement stated, and I had to fight to get my deposit back because she said that I violated the terms of the lease. How I violated? I still do not know… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/part-2-landlord-tenant/583923.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/part-2-landlord-tenant/583923.md?page=7)
