I wish I was an engineer, but I have read a few mechanical engineering books with chapters on gears, and it really is a bottomless pit.

In the example, I recall seeing a method a ways back where 3 interlaced gears could rotate simultaneously. Two are linked traditionally, while one is a helical gear that slides though the teeth of the other two. It had a slick animation, wish I could find it.

Fuck that. I can't get E1 to land 2 rockets on the hulk with my strategem beacon stuck on it's face.

It does have a game chat. Hardly anyone uses it. Also I don't think he's that big on helldivers since he did ⬆️ ➡️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️, when he should have done ➡️ ➡️ ⬆️ or ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ➡️

Gears are really simple...

I've got some bad news for you...

I'm thinking heart failure in office, but I bet he goes through 2 or 3 donor hearts before he dies faster than they can get a new one in him.

Gotcha. 30-06 is so powerful it will completely blow a man's head off his body, but it will pass through a T-shirt, hit a steel plate under the shirt, and bounce back out the shirt without making a single hole.

That's a complete fabrication.

First of all, I was unable to find a source showing that Charlie was wearing body armor.

Second, body armor is not made out of steel plate for exactly this reason. Body armor is usually ceramic plates that are designed to dissipate kinetic energy by fragmenting, covering in a plastic or polymer jacket to catch and slow down any fragments, and then it's usually in a kevlar (or other strong filament) carrier to further catch fragments.

If a round had hit his chest, and then ricochetted up into his neck, then there would be very obvious evidence of this. His shirt would have a decent entry hole, plus a big debris pattern of lead and jacketing material from where the round hit the steel plate. There would be a much larger and more ragged exit hole, more likely multiple, since bullet would have flattened and fragmented on impact with the steel plate. There would be a lot of smaller wound in his neck from the bullet fragments, instead, we get one clean hole.

To sum it up, he wasn't wearing any armor. Even if he was, body armor is made to catch bullets, not deflect them into your neck. And if that did occur, then there would be multiple obvious signs that it did happen that way.

Their logic was "it's easier to put this kid somewhere else, than it is to answer the questions he asks"

Not unusual in this timeline. Check the news about the head of the Department of Labor Statistics.

I don't know him personally, so I can't vouch for the guy.

I think a bigger factor is that what happened to Scott was an freak accident, no one was trying to avoid an active shooter when it happened, so he was able to get aid from his father (the guy behind the camera) immediately.

So yeah, you're probably right.

Here is the correct response to people asking for empathy for Charlie Kirk.

Picked a bad day to wear a white shirt.
