Reply to comment by Due_Platypus_3913 in TIL about the only double barrel cannon in the world. When it was its first tested during the American Civil War, the chain snapped immediately and one ball tore into a nearby cabin, knocking down its chimney; the other spun off erratically and struck a nearby cow, killing it instantly. by ExpertPreference8481

But only 5 canons end up getting delivered at 10 times the price before the program is canceled. Total cost plus R&D, a gazillion dollars.

Rammstein makes good provocative music videos. I really liked Sonne.

I thought my brand new SUV had incorrectly aimed lows, so I asked the dealer to re-aim them and they said that they were correct and wouldn't lower them. I didn't want these ridiculous lights, I don't know why this has become a thing. Sorry to everyone who thinks I have my brights on.
