I agree he put together some great lightweight, reliable pistols. He wasn't the first to use polymer (H&K 12 years earlier) and no great leaps forward in engineering like Browning or Stoner. His accomplishments are to be celebrate

They are many but not impressive. Small changes on other inventors' designs. Nothing akin to Browning or Stoner.

Agreed that he took what so many other engineers did and made a great reliable pistol (with a crap trigger) from them. His accomplishments are worth celebrating but he's no Browning or Stoner.

Agreed. Solid performers and reliable. Crap triggers though.

Good firearms, yes. Up there with Browning and Stoner...? I don't think so. What incredible design did he invent?

This only applies to federal "possession or use", which nearly never happens. Those convicted of "possession or use" are nearly 100% plea down cases when the actual offense was sales, distribution, or manufacturing.

I've never heard of electric being faster at boiling water than gas. You either have a very poor gas stove or you moved to a much higher elevation where boiling water is just flat-out takes longer.

I don't get it. So you reduce IGF-1 growth hormone and the dog doesn't get as big... so it lives longer like smaller dogs. Why not just get a smaller dog from the start? Don't people who want large breed dogs want LARGE dog

I've got a 1 gallon glass jug sitting on my bathroom shelf. I dump my change each night in there and when Christmas time comes, I've got ~$250 to buy my kids gifts with. My bank has a change counting machine that I use for free.

Nearly all the fast food in my area won't accept anything larger than a $20. My ATM defaults to $50 bills but I always switch it to $20 because it's so hard to use $50s.

A rocket can't stay on-station for hours at a time waiting for the right moment to deliver the payload. With mid-air refueling, this beast can hover near but out of reach, to produce a threat that may never strike. A nice piece to hav

> In the hands of skillful and strong archers, bows can thus produce a similar rate of fire as semi-automatic weapons, and they can outperform guns and pistols. This is ridiculously false on its face. Pick a novice and give them 1 hour o

One of the best physical comedy actors of this age. His character and acting in "The Whole 9 Yards" was just great. I crack up every time he hits that sliding glass door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c75SzjLnKf

Daddy always said that only a sucker buys a new car. Let some other fool take the depreciation on it. I usually buy them at 10 years old, usually paying 1/3 of new, and run them for another 10 years then sell them for roughly 1/2
