    Please show where he made either of those arguments?

    Guns in the hands of an honest citizen are shown by statistics to cause a reduction in crime. Statistics show that when you try to remove legal firearms, you cause a surge in illegal firearms and firearm related crime goes up.

    If you care so much about the cause of gun control, perhaps you should propose the constitutional amendment needed to change the rights of the peopl instead of trying to make unconstitutional laws.

    The article is about three different methods. First he tries milling with a drill press, he fails badly and actually damages the drill press causing the bit's chuck to fall off the unit. He then goes on the try 3D printing one and says that the finishing work required to make it usable is too much and requires an expensive 3D printer. Lastly he uses the Defense Distributed method, it costs in between the two methods, but takes less time and work than 3D printing, and comes out better than the author's amateur use of the drill press with no skill needed. The prices are near the end of the article before the firing of the gun.

    What crack are you smoking? Even Cat 7 doesn't individually shield the pairs, and Cat 6 isn't even shielded, that is STP, not UTP.

    Great picture of the Cat 7 cable unwound on the ad.

    Gigabit Ethernet only needs Cat5e

    This is bad advise, Gigabit is ok now, but in 20 years? 40 years? Houses last a long time, so putting in the best available now will prevent upgrades later.

    As the person above me mentions, conduits are future proofing. I would add though, it should be Cat7 STP, not Cat6, and Multimode fiber. This is the most advanced stuff, so it should last a good while before being outdated, in which case you then pull it out and run new cable.

    The fiber doesn't even need to be terminated as most likely it won't be used (for now) as even 10Gbit runs over copper without issue.

    There are photos of the launchers in Eastern Ukraine, though it is unclear who has them, it is clear that the Ukraine doesn't even own that launcher.

    The rest of your points are Russian propaganda, there was no smell of formaldehyde, that was made up by Russian media. MH-17 was sent to that area because it was a valid flight path, and was used repeatedly before and a few times right after the downing; it was assumed that no one was capable, or stupid enough to launch on a commercial aircraft flying at 30k feet. UFO, more Russian propaganda, please link to any non Russian source of this. Plenty of pics of Buk launchers, the launcher was in the middle of a field controlled by the rebels, so no one who wasn't involved was around to take a picture or video of it actually launching.

    Here's a question for you, how do you explain the recordings of phone calls from the rebels to Russia claiming that it was an accident?

    When your argument comes down to your own ignorance of the issue, it isn't the other person's issue, it is your own.

    The reason the US has a nuclear waste issue is that the government won't allow reprocessing. Once reprocessed, the left over stuff can be safely buried. People are ignorant and scream "omg nuclear!" instead, kind of like your comments.
