The EPA exists to allow companies to pollute and skim some tax dollars in the process. In the time before zoning laws and complex regulation, if a company dumped something toxic, the legal frameworks were in place to sue them for the harm

What's really funny is that 2d blueprints of the m16 and others exist and are readily accessible. Also, the army has published in the past various handbooks for insurrection. The "improvised munitions handbook" comes to mind.

Not an expert here, but I believe it's the bit of a nuclear warhead that squashes the plutonium pit and causes it to go critical.

This article fails to show what benefits this has for either the company or the employee. I did, however, end up slightly creeped out.

I am a parent. I totally and completely agree with the outrage. This isn't 1984 when I was flying between kansas and new york any more (got rerouted to LGA from JFK once, dad found out about it at the JFK gate and FREAKED). We have insta

Oh sure, of course. But the value comes from the software stack. iPhones and Android phones both run ARM procs right? If they're the same, why all the fuss about which is better?

Stormin Norman's initial war plan for Iraq 1 was indeed attrition based. We were to land in Kuwait and beat the Iraqis back via blunt force. Cheney,secdef at the time, realized how bloody this would be, and pulled Boyd in from retirement

I wish we'd been able to do that with sphere. Instead it was sold to outbrain, and our tech was way better.

My boy is now having nightmares going on a year later. And the ex and I came to an agreement, handled things ourselves and had no lawyers involved. Not to say it was easy, and there weren't fights, but as far as divorces go it wasn't mess

by mgarfias 14y ago
Yep. One thing worse: divorce coupled with abuse (physically + sexual), and the authorities refusing to do anything about it.

by mgarfias 14y ago
Agreed whole heartedly. Dad remarried when I was 13, then spent the next 12 years fighting her in court. Now, that was one marriage that absolutely was not savable. In my case, there was some long simmering resentment due to a certain som

It's not like we made all that much at sphere. Beats a kick in the ass tho, but none of us got rich.

When dad worked there while the ATF-23 program was going, the rumor going arou d the uncleared portions of the facility was that it was going to be armed with a laser, not cannon.

If you pass a ban, you'll have something around a 10% compliance rate. Then, you accept it, or you move to confiscation. Clearly you are not steeped in the non-coastal, non-liberal-elite culture, because if you were, you would realize tha

Not really. Rifles at close range do tend to end people quite badly - providing the bullet fragments or expands. There are many tales from Iraq/Afghanistan where this isn't happening with the 5.56mm NATO. And pistols really only kill abo

The problems you'll run into when trying a GPS solution: 1) packaging. LIke someone else said, there isn't a lot of room on your typical firearm to hide such things. You'll be left with something like a wall-wart that is completely obviou

I made 500+ rounds over the christmas holidays as a gift for my dad. I can cast my own bullets, and if I really needed to I could make the shell casings. Yeah, it'd take a lot of work with the mill and lathe to build the dies to draw and

No, it'd actually be a hindrance (assuming the GPS-alert-school thing is implemented). It would give a false sense of security while doing next to nothing.
