Holds five. The feeling of blasting off all five in like ten seconds or whatever is an incredible rush. It’s an amazing amount of energy being released. I can’t imagine how ****ing crazy it would be to shoot all 31 rounds in a quick procession. But for me, I like my revolver, I know exactly how it works. I like that I can see and understand the mechanism.
I've been shooting once, but it was insanely fun. Fired a Glock that was mad fun, but firing my bud's AK-47 was the absolute ****. The weight was insane though, so that after a few minutes I was having trouble even holding the gun upright. And the recoil bruised my shoulder like I got punched by Mike Tyson. But I've fired an AK so I'm more gangsta than 99% of actual gangsters.

What do you think of this guy’s story, Merit?

A Message from Brian Dunning

And when are you going to write that damn review on Freak Fighter?

I read through the link quickly. Seems plausible. Dude also seems like a bit of a bitch, and a whiner. Like those FB pages that send out posts, talking about their pages being censored. Bruh, EVERYONE is being censored. You're not special. No one forced him to plead guilty to any charges. If he is innocent, either stand your ground or STFU. His situation does seem pretty shitty though. I don't envy his position.

Also, you'll have to refresh my memory about the review. I've got a lot of irons in a lot of fires at the moment. Don't take it personal.

DJ Shadow the mountain will fall

Yeah, he made a fortune selling spyware data to eBay and then when that brand of spyware started getting noticed eBay pounced that bitch. It’s a pretty interesting story imo

He lives like a bitch, so he died like a bitch [figuratively speaking]. I'll have the review to you this week homie.

Default Face2Face: Real-Time Face Capture & Re-Enactment Of RGB Videos
This might just be THE SCARIEST thing that you see all year.

This new technology allows for the creation of videos, making it look like any target actor is performing the actions of any source actor. That’s right folks, you can no longer believe what you see.

That's not the scariest thing that I've seen all year...I saw it last year. But ja, RIP video evidence.

True. It's not BREAKING NEWS, but I wanted to preserve it for perpetuity. Would do wonders for the porn industry though.

People would have to start patenting & trademarking their likeness.
Copyrights for human beings.
An infinite can of worms.

Imagine it being used for elections. Make your opponent say whatever you want.
How would they disprove it?

This tech should be guarded like a fucking nuke.

Very legit, it's already being used for porn (always on the earlier adopter end of the tech curve). It'll only improve as well.

For the bolded, I think that it's going to go in the other direction: nothing is going to be believable.
