    we're also dropping our decimal coins

    one krone is 100 øre and the smallest coin is 50 øre but now that is gone too.

    Which is great. I treat it like lint, not currency.

    Sounds like a Minecraft inspired currency.

    I wish the US would drop the nickle. What a fucking useless coin.

    the name - which is the same as the norwegian, swedish, danish and icelandic ones - comes from aureus, a roman gold coin.

    I heard it would have been cheaper yet still incredibly effective had we, during the Vietnam War, dropped large quantities of pennies from our bomber planes from a high altitude instead of bombs.

    I don't care if this is a silly myth. It's still an awesome idea.

    Today in Japanese class we watched videos on various martial arts. They had one that was basically kendo but fighting with guns with affixed bayonets.

    It looked pretty neat!

    One of the more useless martial arts.

    Give me kendo with foldable shovels instead!

    Bayoneting people is RAD

    but pretty inconvenient.

    Just shoot them, instead.

    Like, in the WWI trenches, bayonets were useless. In close quarters like that, full-size rifles are hella unwieldy. Putting a bayonet on them - which back then where often closer to swords than knives - doesn't exactly improve that.

    But your trusty ol' shovel? That's useful.

    Oh sure, useless now, but you know, with muskets? Darn useful.

    Anyway, off to go march you and your fellow comrades to their glorious death for the motherland against undead abominations, toodles!

    Trailing a pike is more gentlemanly.

    Of course if I could pick, I would be using my bayonet to skin apples in beetween using large guns to fire bad things at people far away.

    That's retarded. The best way for a telecom company to deal with VOIP is to offer it themselves.

    Some country must have tested whether or not dropping metal doodads from a high altitude would be worthwhile. Caltrops, pig iron bars, pennies - anything.

    You can no longer shoot through leaves in BF3. That seems like something unintended with the super-patch.

    Apparently there's an assault rifle that now has exactly 0% drift and spread at any range if you put laser sight and another add-on to it. We're talking 2km full auto exactly where you aimed accuracy. While running.

    Concrete wrapped in metal is also a bomb that's been used - not just for training but like, it's still a big block of concrete.

    Simplicity: It works. Dropping something heavy on people just works.

    Apart from not having scopes, the best sniper rifles in battlefield bad company 2 was shotguns firing slugs as they were 100% accurate and had no bullet drop.

    I think they reduced bullet drop, at least for my favorite rifle. And also the bullets from it travel faster now.

    Making non-pre-aimed headshots at 500+ meters on moving targets is now really easy.
