They have a safety device on the trigger. It amounts to a little plastic piece in the middle of the trigger. Pressing on the trigger from the front causes this piece to slide in, allowing the trigger to be depressed. It doesn't do much but it would prevent the trigger from being pulled by something scraping it from the side, as might accidentally happen during holstering. It seems like the point of this device is to prevent accidental trigger pulls.

When you pull back the slide and chamber a round, you also pull back the striker. The gun is then ready to fire. The trigger pull is always the same weight. This doesn't put the gun into an "extra light trigger pull" setting. After a shot is fired, when the gun cycles, this chambers a new round and pulls the striker back again. There's no way to have a round chambered but not have the striker pulled back. Glocks don't have a single action / double action like there is on some other guns, where the first trigger pull takes extra weight because it's also cocking a hammer.

That's that evolutionary programming kicking in, convincing you to slave away with the goal of increasing the survival rate of your offspring.

I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying that your'e a machine and this affects your program:

If(havebaby=true){parentalmotivation++}

in my experience, it's better to fuck in a van.

I would be stabbing myself in the feet and legs all the time with those.

I think the lady said they know the IP address of every phone but that doesnt make much sense. anyway, the point was that theyre using the signals from your phone to uniquely identify you. you can simply turn those radios in your phone off when youre not using them.

Most people are familiar with A, B, O, and Rh red cell antigens, as they are the most significant. Completely separate from this "blood group system" there are many other potentially antigenic molecules present on the red cell membrane.

It's good that you're concerned about the data your phone may be revealing to other nearby devices. It's generally a good idea to have bluetooth/wifi/nfc turned off if you're not actively using them. Even without the robot, you have no idea what data companies might be collecting when you're physically on their property.

These antigens are mainly significant in regards to blood transfusions.

People generally don't create antibodies against antigens that they have on their own cells.

If someone receives blood containing an antigen that isn't present on their own cells, and their body has already created antibodies against this "foregin" antigen, this can cause a hemolytic transfusion reaction (the transfused blood cells will rupture in the recipient), which can be fatal.

It's great news. Why does it take nearly 2 years for this data to become available?
