The stupid clean light on my dishwasher will just turn off after a little bit making it essentially useless because I can’t trust it.

I suppose you could also say I’m essentially useless and can’t be trusted.

I've had my eardrum burst from an ear infection. I already have childbirth beat.

My dishwasher has top controls, so, I can't see the light until I open the door. The light then turns off once the door is closed, so, if I can't immediately get to it, I'll have no idea (leaving the door cracked is not an option since my kid will immediately notice and open the door). Long story short, top control dishwashers suck and this dumb magnet is almost required if you have one.

Mine (Samsung) opens by itself with 5 min left to aid in drying. I'm confused, why the magnet / light at all? Just unload it after it runs , at least that's what we do. I don't / never have had kids though.

Cannot really tell from that article, is the Army also retiring theirs? It says they MUST be ASAP but not that they are. The article is about the Air Force. That sort of makes sense considering the A-10 is a close support aircraft. The USAF is more about air superiority.
Jimmies still rustled , guess they are rustled now because the article isn't clearer.

An entire branch of the military is not a typo, it's just an example of the lazy and stupid people in the media now days...Can't even proof read a simple article.

Don't look at it as a reason to be rustled, look at it as a reason to be hopeful they'll send them out to surplus auctions

Fuck yeah. they entered service in 1977 so some of those GAUs should be transferrable. For those that aren't, maybe they can find a way to make them semi auto. Actually wait, it's a gatling gun. Is it even considered an automatic?

Automatic is defined by whether it takes one trigger pull to fire more than one round or not. Given that its a gatling gun... what do you think?

IIRC traditional crank fired Gatling guns aren't, but yea any of the modern electrical operated ones effectively have an "automatic" electric trigger.
Though that does raise a question with the whole Rube Goldberg NFA situation, because what if you built an electric trigger pulling robot finger that just actuated a semi automatic trigger?

To the best of my knowledge, actual gatlin guns are not full auto. Those have a hand crank to rotate the barrels and fire them. I assume the GAU has an electronic motor that does the same thing. Based on the recent ruling RE the forced reset trigger, even with an electric motor, the GAU might not be an automatic. I'd have to know more about how it functions internally.Automatic is defined by whether it takes one trigger pull to fire more than one round or not. Given that its a gatling gun... what do you think?
I found an ATF letter. Ruling 55-528. Regulations 88, section 319.12: (not a quote, I'm paraphasing because I can't copy the text) If the handle or motor performs the cocking and releasing of the hammer, it's not even semi automatic so cannot be an automatic. If the GAU is designed to actually operate on gas after the first round is fired, it is full auto.

the letter I found specifically mentions electric motors in lieu of hand cranks and says that's still not automatic.
