Problem is that the muzzle brake tends to make a rifle insanely loud.
Tell me about it. I have hearing loss in both ears from muzzle blast.
I agree on the 5.56 not having that much recoil. I have not fired a sniper rifle. Most look heavy enough to soak up a lot of energy. I don't know how the.30-06 compares to the 7.62 NATO, but I do know about the '06 recoil, with the scope cut to prove it (eye relief mean never having to say "#&$*@!!!"). I just don't like the idea of electronics on a rifle.
Right. The school is acting as a guardian of the children. This gives them authority to do a number of things that the police could not do in a city park. My kids always brought home a number of forms to sign each year, and one was to inform parents that vehicles parked on school property were subject to search, as were backpacks, and other personal belongings on school property. While the school was overpopulated with horse's-asses, I am sure that they were not the only school system with that policy. So, the cell phone search is probably legitimate.
I read the first line. I read all of them. She dropped both semesters. Every school I have seen, admittedly not every single one, has enrollment one semester at a time.
I was going to rag on everyone about being unfair to this woman, but decided to RTFA first. Now I think that the general opinion on/. is probably correct. It was that she dropped both fall and spring semesters. Huh? I could see that she could freak out and drop the coming semester if she got her Dell just before classes, but bailing on an entire year sounds fishy. It's not like the world is in low supply of people that could help her with this problem (Dell and Verizon excepted), starting with the data doinks in the school's IT/networking support department.
If you happen to live in some other area (especially many of the rural areas the government is concerned about) you've probably seen a minimum of changeover commercials.
Listen, they don't plant TV stations where there is no audience. If you are in a rural area, as I am, there are no local stations. We get the same TV stations that everyone else gets, just over cable instead of the air (mostly). The TV stations run the ads. The cable company runs the ads (and Suddenlink ads are the most irritating ads in existence). Even the furniture and appliance stores are running the ads. I have not found anyone that does not know there is a change coming for TV. The fuckers that stole my HDTV sure know there is a switch coming; they left all the analog sets behind. 2-17-09 is so close, let's just get it over with.
Yes, I want those people stuck in hell. The cold one the Norse feared. I have not had a factory warranty on a vehicle since '96, but thanks to these assholes, anything not in my contacts list has to go to voice mail. Sometimes they beat on my phone several times a day, day after day.
I had a philosophy class at Oklahoma University, in one of the Dale Hall large lecture classrooms. I think it would hold something like 600 people. The professor was Tom Boyd, who was also a Presbyterian minister. It was like having George Carlin teach the class, without the coarse language. No problem staying engaged there.
On the other hand, the psychology class was so dull I can barely remember taking it. After 20 minutes of lecture, everyone looked like a stunned mullet.
If you decide to try any of the things suggested, remember that shipboard power can be rather, ah, interesting. There may be restrictions on what can be connected, and/or on how much power can be used. That second one may be no big deal, but shipboard power and electronics do not always play nicely together.
As for biofuels for jets being a stop gap measure, how do you expect to power jets 50 years from now if (when?) oil begins to run out. I don't see charging up some Li-Ion batteries to fly several hundred people from New York to London.
We replace the turbine section with a big spiral spring, and put a sticker on the instrument panel that says, "Rewind Engines Every Three Miles."
And this just re-enforced that position. With all the garbage that shows up in my inbox claiming that I signed up for it, I just do not believe that only the customers that want it will get it.
Oh, hell no. I am so tired of all the PSA, and businesses running ads, about how I can be ready for The Big Switch, I could scream. Leave it alone, and let it happen.
For a birthday present last year, my parents renewed my Sirius subscription. This year, after
the merger, they sent a notice in the credit card statement for my parents that they were consolidating payments for all the radios I have into one payment. I am not sure of the exact wording, but that is close enough. So it is not just Best Buy the credit card companies are helping out.
I would have preferred an email, as Sirius has my email address, and they also have my physical address so they could send me the attenuators for the FM transmitter in their radios. I see no reason for them to have put this in a credit card statement.
My office has several microwave links, and I have seen birds perched on the feedhorn of an open grid parabolic antenna for several minutes without dropping dead. Granted, that is not the center of the beam. Maybe their feet are just cold.
It could be worse. The salesman for MAD Computer sold us a bunch of systems after the company had shut down. He didn't tell anyone, just continued to sell product on hand.

Not to mention that it would probably need to be quite rugged to withstand recoil.

No, it's like a Mobius strip. You get one larger MasterCard.

Maybe you are too fucking stupid to read.
I doubt that I have that in common with you

Don't try to recycle them
Well, as long as we all get bigger dicks.....
Uh, not the women, obviously.

Get the passengers to pedal - earn their tickets.

..viewers..
Sorry.
... You know what? Fuck the game, let's see some movies.
Yeah, dirty movies! Of course, watching some dude with a hammer 30 or 40 yards long could make certain views feel inferior.....
Ever seen that demo where they run high voltage through a hotdog?

"Good afternoon, sir, and welcome to California. Do you have any vegetables, fruit, live plants or non-Tier 1 televisions in your vehicle?"
It could be worse. The salesman for MAD Computer sold us a bunch of systems after the company had shut down. He didn't tell anyone, just continued to sell product on hand.
Yeah, well, if it ain't on YouTube, it didn't happen. Thanks for playing.
