12/2/2023 0 Comments Escape from la mapIt’s just impossible to take seriously in any context. In another, Cuervo Jones gets shot through the heart and actually looks down at his wound, accurately fires a rocket launcher at Snake’s helicopter, and grins at him evilly before finally dying. In another, he’s surfing a tidal wave to catch Steve Buscemi’s character. The Che Guevara lookalike belongs on a t-shirt in Hot Topic, not in any serious political satire.Īnother problem is the over-the-top, campy scenes.Īt one point, Snake is forced to shoot 5 free throws in a minute to save his life from Cuervo Jones. Part of the reason suspension of disbelief is impossible is that the political messages are so ham-fisted and obvious that they pull me out every time they’re on screen. The Che Guevara lookalike, played by Georges Corroface (Aveleyman) They try to up the shock value by putting Bruce Campbell in as a demented plastic surgeon and it doesn’t work, whether used as a horror trope or as commentary on plastic surgery. In New York, I remember being legitimately nervous at the scene with the roving cannibals. With “Escape From New York,” though, I was able to suspend my disbelief, which I was absolutely unable to do with LA. Instead of turning a global hub that the world’s economy is dependent on into a prison, why not use an uninhabited island like in “Shutter Island?” The answer, of course, is that it would make the movie much more boring. The whole concept of “Escape From New York” is just stupid. The main problem I have with “Escape From LA” is the suspension of disbelief. Snake, being sent to LA for smuggling arms, is poisoned by the president’s men and given a choice: infiltrate LA and find the codes in exchange from amnesty and the antidote. Seduced by his anti-establishment attitude, she sneaks into LA with the codes for the president’s space-based doomsday weapon. The president’s daughter, Utopia, comes into contact with a Che Guevara lookalike living in LA named Cuervo Jones. Steve Buscemi’s character, “Map to the Stars Eddie” (The After Movie Diner) Seeing this as a sign, the president turns the island into a second prison colony, and criminalizes everything even remotely entertaining, sending his moral criminals to LA. ![]() An earthquake devastates the city and breaks it off from the mainland. ![]() ![]() president, who looks like an MSNBC viewer’s idea of a Republican, calls upon God to smite the sinful ruin of Los Angeles. The film begins with an almost 10 minute opening sequence filling us in on what happened since “Escape From New York.” The only way that this film can be enjoyed is by powering down your brain and laughing at how ridiculous everything is. The film breaks no new ground, retreading almost the exact same plot as the first one with some scatter-minded political commentary thrown in. ![]() The updated special effects feel forced and age horribly. The attempts by Carpenter to create a mainstream action film alienate fans of the low-budget appeal of the originals while also failing to break into the everyday audiences. When the president’s plane crash-lands in New York, Snake Plissken played by Russel, a decorated soldier turned criminal must go into the prison and rescue the president from marauders in exchange for amnesty.ĭespite having nearly 10 times the budget of the original and a more star-filled cast than the original, “Escape From LA” fails as a sequel. For those unfamiliar with “Escape From New York,” it looks at an alternative future in which crime in America has gotten so severe that the entirety of Manhattan is turned into a prison island.

However, if your nearest laundromat has staff on site, then there’s less of a chance of your possessions getting taken or molested. This means you would have to sit in the laundromat until your clothes are finished, just in case someone would take your clothes. This begs the question, how do you know that your clothes would be safe at such a place? They’re simply a room with washers and dryers, with someone (usually the owner) coming only to open, close, and change out the money. There are many laundromats that have no regular staff at all. The first thing you should look for is whether or not the laundromat is staffed. But with a bit of fore thought, you might find that there are a number of things you want in a laundromat. Many people, if they’re asked what they’re looking for in a laundry, will answer with a confused look or a statement of “a place to wash my clothes”. That will help you narrow down your search, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you know what you should be looking for. Or something like “ coin laundry near me that also sells laundry supplies”, if you’re hoping to also purchase things like detergent and fabric softener. Type in how many washing machines you’d be looking for, such as “laundromats near me with thirty machines or more”. Try narrowing your search to not just laundromats, but also the features you want. You might want to check a few more things. However, just because it’s close doesn’t mean it’s the best place to go. And if all you want is the laundromat to be near you, then you’re good to go. ![]() That will certainly get you the address of a few coin laundromats that are near you, perhaps some even in walking distance. That’s why it’s important you don’t just go to Google and type “24 hour laundromat near me” with “near me” being replaced by whatever your address is. This is important, because you don’t want to just find a coin laundry near me. However, many people don’t realize that they’re not using Google right. ![]() It’s simply easier to check your phone or your tablet and find out where a nearby business is. This is because of how common internet capable devices are in this day and age. Most people use Google to find information on local businesses these days. Using The Internet To Find A Laundry Near Me Because not all laundromats are made equal. There are a few ways you can find one, and there are a few things you should look for when you’re considering whether or not to use one. If you’re in any of these situations, then you may have had reason to wonder “is there a laundromat near me?” It’s a valid question when you don’t have one in your home or apartment. There are people who either live in an apartment building without a washer and dryer hookup in each unit, or simply live in a house with several roommates and need to wash their clothes immediately. While there are many people throughout the United States who can afford to have a washing machine and dryer in their homes, there are many more who can’t. Finding The Right Laundromat Is More Than Google Searching “24 Hour Laundromat Near Me” 12/2/2023 0 Comments Flux mp17 california![]() ![]() The Raider and its stock offer a more stable platform that gives warfighters an advantage when faced with the worst possible situation.īeyond machine gunners, the Raider could be issued to dog handlers, even mortarmen on the gun line, and JTACs who find often themselves with one hand on the radio. However, as we established, handguns require a fair bit of skill and proficiency to be good with. The M240 weighs nearly 30 pounds and doesn’t work very well for close-quarters fighting as machine guns tend to break a bit more often than standard rifles (something about firing hundreds of rounds in short order repeatedly does that). That’s why machine gunners get issued handguns. I see the Flux Raider being a niche tool for certain combat roles that already carry the M17, for example, machine gunners. The rifle is small and light enough to work with noncombat troops, including truck drivers, artillerymen, cooks, etc. The M4 and M27 serve fine as general-purpose issue weapons. In a world of carbines, opting for something else seems silly, I know. Kelvin Johnson Jr., 40th Public Affairs Detachment) Before qualifying on a live firing range, cadets learn the basic fundamentals and safety procedures of the rifle. Related: The APC9K: We get hands-on with the Army’s new SMG We have carbines! New Cadets practice aiming an M4 Carbine in the prone position at The Plain on West Point, NY on July 8, 2022. This makes the logistics fairly easy, at least easier than adopting an entirely new mini-stocked weapon. The Raider is smaller than any SMG and uses the standard-issue handgun’s magazine, slide, and FCU. It wouldn’t replace the standard M17 or M18 by any means, but for some troops, it would make a lot of sense to have a stocked handgun. Soldiers or Marines could easily carry it holstered in place of a standard handgun. The Flux Raider is 11 inches long with the stock/brace collapsed and weighs about 40 ounces. It’s still just a handgun ballistically, but a much easier-to-use handgun. I saw rifle-like speed from the platform in traditional Marine Corps tactical drills like the failure drill. I could easily make hits at 75 yards on a man-sized target with the braced variant. A Flux Raider equipped with a stock would effectively increase a handgun’s range and overall accuracy and control without significantly increasing the weapon’s size. The lack of a third point of contact makes it tough to take shots beyond 25 yards or so. Shooting a handgun effectively is hard compared to a rifle. Related: This LVAW is SOCOM’s overpowered answer to the SMG But why? (Courtesy of the author) The Raider can be fired like a standard handgun without deploying the stock or brace. It’s rapid and makes it easy for shooters to draw and engage. ![]() Users can also eject the magazine in the gun via a press button release or sliding tab.Ī movable bar sits near the slide on the right and, when pressed downward, deploys the brace (or stock) instantly. This allows the user to reload very rapidly in a pinch. A tab sits right behind the magazine release, and when fully pressed, the device drops the magazine out of the gun and out of the magazine holder. The magazine holder also facilitates rapid reloads. In front of the trigger sits a spare magazine holder. The Raider allows the user to use their standard iron sights or mount a mini red dot to the top of the rail at the rear of the device. It’s a total replacement of the frame that contains a collapsing stock (or brace). Unlike the days of old, the Raider isn’t just a stock that sticks to the back of the gun. The Raider acts as a replacement grip module to which the user drops the FCU and then attaches the slide and barrel. It’s a removable chassis that contains all the necessary fire control parts. The heart of the M17/18 series is the Fire Control Unit (FCU). The M17 and M18 series won the Modular Handgun Contest, and that modularity comes in handy for the Flux Raider. The Flux Raider was designed around the SIG P320, which is the civilian name for the M17/M18 series of handguns. Yet, the braced variant can still give me a good idea of what the Raider is capable of accomplishing.įrom my testing, I see some real potential in the military adopting the Raider for a few niche roles. I have the braced variant, as the stocked version would require a tax stamp and permission from the ATF. The Raider is currently available in two configurations, a version with a brace and a properly stocked variant. The latest comes from a company called Flux, and it’s known as the Raider. Stocked pistols are nothing new, but they have gotten much more advanced than the days of wood stocks on Hi-Powers. 12/2/2023 0 Comments Mcafee stinger for mac![]() Just like its installable counterpart, it manages to be quick and efficient in removing threats.
