setsneedtofeed, to movies in Happy Halloween! Share your favorite scary movie suggestions!

For a fun Halloween movie, Friday The 13th: Part 6 is the way to go.

Some people say part 4 is the best and maybe they are right, but part 6 is the most fun. It’s got the Jason mythology crystallized, it’s got an actual main character, it’s got fun side characters. It’s just peak slasher movie that mixes in the right amount of self aware humor without becoming obnoxious.

I’d also suggest Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Gate, and House (1986) for fun scary movies for watch parties.

    Chopsticks. Use chopsticks to turn over bacon.

    @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

    Yes you can burn it. C4 needs a fairly deliberate effort to explode. There have been issues where improperly set large shots of C4 end up on fire all over the area rather than exploding. Which is a suboptimal situation.

    For eating, the way I heard is that people would stick a piece inside their lip ala a tobacco dip. Supposedly the contact with the inner lip causes some kind of heightened feeling. I can’t prove that one though.

    That is an intense thing to say to a child.

    Vz.58s don’t normally have wood grain to speak of, the furniture is made of Bakelite that has wood shavings mixed in. Commonly called “beaver barf”. That is what is in the opening picture.

    I hope you are 8th dimensional trolling.

    @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

    Yes, this is still the ideal way to refill magazines. Though the unique part of the Vz.58 is being able to refill with the clips directly into the rifle, rather than detaching the magazine to refill them. The rifle has a built in clip guide.

    Perhaps I’ll show off a handheld 5.56mm clip guide at some point.

    Very reliable. Strip clip loading into (fixed and detachable) magazines was common in WW2. The Vz. 58 is unusual for carrying on the feature into the assault rifle era.

    Is there really not one?

    setsneedtofeed, (edited ) to mildlyinteresting in The US Army experimented with digital camouflage as early as the 1970s.
    @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

    I think you’re a bit turned around. The only grid pattern camouflage used in Desert Storm in any appreciable amount was Desert-Night. (Which I’m not actually sure was designed with digital aid or not). Desert-Night camouflage was intended to defeat older generation night vision by blending into the grain of older night optics. Essentially to hide people in the static.

    Dual Tex was an earlier experiment where the straight shapes were a result of the primitive ways of arranging digitally assisted patterns. It was intended primarily for Europe, but more than that was a proof of concept of the macro/micro patterning technique which did eventually become standard. In the 1970s the ERDL patterns could be considered micro only, and the following “M81” US Woodland being a macro only pattern. Dual Tex had the idea of inserting a micro inside a macro without disrupting the macro’s effectiveness.

    The straight edges have proven not to be much of a detriment, as the vast majority of digital personal camo use squares are a base shape. (Digital camo strictly speaking doesn’t need square pixels but for practical reasons usually uses them). Follow up digital pixel camos did try to find a sweet spot for pixel size, as pixels that are large will make the camo less effective up close, but pixels too small can result in “blobbing” which makes the wearer distinct at a distance.

    While the US hasn’t adopted digitally aided pattern designs on vehicles, a number of countries or units in them have. Vehicle camo follows the same concept as personal camo, although intended for a longer range.

    They also turn APCs, like the M113 Gavin into simulated tanks.

    I added it just for you.

    Not particularly, no. I can offer to show this Humvee rhino horn meant to trick thermal sensors.

    These vehicles play the part of the opposing forces in training exercises.
