This is why, even if you aren't going to deal with the person, you always answer the door, preferably, with a firearm in hand. Even if it is just to yell "fuck off" through the door.
12 gauge is better for home defense, but that's only after they've already gotten in. For the door answering, you need a large-ish caliber handgun, 9mm or bigger. (.380 doesn't cut it, you need to be able to shoot through your own door and have enough punch to do damage flesh and bone on the other side..380 is OK for CCW though.)
While it is true that shielding from Gamma rays on an airplane is basically impractical, that isn't a realistic measurement of how "dangerous" it is. "X feet of lead" is what it takes to block it. What we really need to know is how much the human body absorbs. A body doesn't block gamma rays, and rays not absorbed by the body pass right through doing nothing.
So really, the question becomes how much is absorbed on pass-through and what the rays stopped in the human body do there.
Why buy an overpriced piece of shit gun that can't be legaly used for hunting in most areas? Oh yah thats right its meant for shooting people which is why you bought it. So you can sit there in the dark hoping someone kicks down your door so you can have a chance to shoot someone. Well maybe noone will kick your door down cause you really arn't that important and you will lose control of your rage-boner you will finnally convince yourself that everyone is out to get you. Then we have dead people and the NRA is trying to deffend why people need guns meant only for killing people. So then some other jackass figures hey that guy was cool he got on the news I'm gonna buy one of those guns so I can be on the news to.
It can "legaly" be used for all sorts of hunting, up to and including whitetail deer.
Do you watch the news? The feral animals living in Chicago rioted last weekend simply because it was warm enough that evening. A smart person realizes the government can't, or won't put down this garbage and takes steps to make sure they don't become a statistic.
When you reach junior high, at some point, you'll learn to articulate yourself... many decades later, you'll realize that we live in a fragile society that breaks down and turns on itself at the drop of a hat, like when it's warm in Chicago. Nobody will give a shit when you get wiped out by some ghetto goblin but your mommy, and they certainly won't protect you before hand. It's up to you not to become a half-remembered bit of street cred.
You'd better learn to defend yourself. The kept voting livestock in the inner cities are going to view you as a resource for them to exploit
For self-protection AND hunting, an AR-15 is a versatile and effective tool.. know why they are overpriced? Because the nation is arming up in preparation for removing the garbage and keeping themselves, their families, and their hard earned households intact.
A gun is for killing and maiming people?
Where do you buy your guns? Mine are for hunting and sport shooting.
Pretty much.
They wouldn't be much good for self-defense, nor much good against tyranny if they weren't.
The very same set of tools can be both used for lawful sporting purposes, as well as self defense. The distinction is commie bullshit made up by the Clinton era ATF to keep Kalashnikov format rifles and shotguns from being imported in large numbers. It's a strictly gun-control measure.
Registration is the first step towards confiscation.
"Universal" background checks are only a tool on the way to deprive people of a valuable tool to equalize the path towards pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. You can't take a gun if you don't know where it is, and you can't see if a background check was done if you don't know exactly who has it, what it's serial number is and where it is.
Very few background check violations are prosecuted. The Obama Administration's stated reason for it is lack of time and manpower. If the Obama Administration currently doesn't have the time or manpower to prosecute those who lie on background check forms, then why do they want more background checks, more paperwork and more forms? It's backdoor gun registration.
They had time and manpower to raid FPS Russia (the youtube guy) only to not come up with anything.
Methinks that either the ATF, or Obama has their priorities out of whack.
The bunker is meant to be self-sustaining for 10 years. The SWAT is not going to do a multi-year seige to get in there. So, yes, while they can't stay in there forever a SWAT would not breach it. Otherwise it would be worthless for its purpose.
So?
Cut the internet and maybe power connections, berm over the air handlers, and pave where applicable and forget about it.
I doubt the nerds inside have the capability of getting OUT from under a D9 created mound of debris.

The tech community is going to be down on Yahoo until they stop fucking up their email service. It's that simple.

You paid for Windows XP and Office 2003...you didn't pay for Google Reader. Google services are free! Would you stop fucking complaining about a free service being discontinued.

You are not entitled to support from a free service!
Google Reader, iGoogle (which I personally use and have a replacement for when tbe time comes*), and numerous other Google products that have been cancelled and forgotten, and any products they have now (Google Docs got absorbed into Google Drive, which won't last, it's shittier and nobody is going to pay them more than $5 a month for personal account) and nobody wants file storage that will just evaporate when they pull the plug....
In all that, the PRODUCT is not what Google offers. The PRODUCT is the EYEBALLS those things attract to the ADS that Google sells in them.
The CUSTOMER is the ad-purchasing company.
I think Google's fundamental problem is they attract savvy users, technical users, educated and intelligent ones... the same ones that get annoyed by ads, have vendettas against ads, or simply blocked them years ago and forgot they exist.
Google needs to DUMB DOWN their products to more like crap like imageshack and flickr. Pulling market share from other ad-display companies which is really what they are, hell, even Fark is nagging users about using ad blockers now, the guy that runs it is already wealthy and is now getting greedy.
Only then will these product survive.
YouTube seems to be a perfect storm of retard / tech guy / and content that people will tolerate ads for. They can do what they do, but tried so many stupid things (as in, too high tech that they can't count on ad returns from the eyeballs that come) and now have to downsize.
Google does well, but they are setting themselves up to get knocked off the top by someone who figures out a new way to do search, and a more human-like algorithm to do search results.(No, you Apple retards, it's not going to be something I can talk to. I use computers because I find talking inefficient and annoying. Adding a chick's voice to some app isn't going to cut it.)

Not a stupid question. The GP is simply wrong. 16 inches is specific to a RIFLE barrel. 18 for shotguns. If the 11 inch barrel is on a registered SBR (short barrel rifle) or on a pistol, it's legal. The gun it's attached to, and how that is classified is what makes it legal or not.
Actually 'Rifle Barrels' under a certain length are regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA) and enforced by the ATF.
The NFA defines NFA "firearm" as:
A shotgun or rifle having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length or any other weapon, other than a pistol or revolver, from which a shot is discharged by an explosive if such weapon is capable of being concealed on the person, or a machinegun, and includes a muffler or silencer for any firearm whether or not such a firearm is included in the foregoing definition.[3][4]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act
-Casey
The legal status of the barrel is not codified until it's mounted on a firearm frame. While, it makes a bit more sense to think of the barrel is the firearm in some contexts, the legal definition of a firearm is the frame where the receiver and trigger assembly is.
Put the same barrel on a stripped AR15 upper purchased as "other" or "pistol" on a 4473 and it's legally now part of a pistol and the length is not regulated. Only in that case, there being a second hand grip or stock on it is the part that is regulated.
Only 25 people. Chlorine, used for a wide variety of civilian and industry purposes, all legit and reasonable uses.
Guys trusting in allah to let their bullets find their targets are very likely to hit and puncture a lot of stuff that could leak.
That equals ho hum big deal, someone hit a tank of something, or some refrigeration unit, or whatever.
Wake me up when it's several hundred people and there's evidence it was a military deployment of some kind not just hearsay from two sides who are both obviously lying through their teeth about everything and anything.
You know what's really funny, is that some people use sea salt because they think it contains less sodium. I'm not even kidding.
Of course since this is Slashdot, I have to say that technically, due to the detritus in the sea salt, they may be correct on such a microscopic level that it doesn't matter unless you consume tons and tons of the stuff.
In regards to how much is needed, sea salt can be "saltier" than other salt if it's in larger granules and on the surface of the food.
As a hobby-chef, I find sea salt a bit better just because in cases where larger amounts are called for, it doesn't have that "table salt" taste. I still use table salt (with iodine added) for the table.
So they COULD be meaning they use less of it and intake less sodium. Chances are though, it's like the "clip vs magazine" thing it's just plain wrong in both words and meaning.
They should install some garish but non functional thing on them, a big box on the side that has blinking lights, a fan, some cables and some steam-punkish looking stuff on it.
Then tell everybody they are "Windmill Disruption Dampeners" and that the company went almost bankrupt buying them for the residents.
Placebos work, even if the person KNOWS it's a placebo.;)
Go search Youtube for "code monkey". There's a popular song with those lyrics. It's not supposed to be taken literally. Anyway, where does one find Tab now days anyway?
Don't do that at work. You aren't going to make significant headway while still accomplishing your job.
What you can do though are these things:
Start bringing a dark veggie lunch and less of it
Drink lots more water, and lots more trips to the bathroom
Stretch, do leg crunches, and make sure your computer manipulation appendages are stretched, relaxed and moved in other ranges of motion
Get one of those blow up balls to sit on when you do sit, this keeps your whole trunk flexing and puts more work into your back, it also helps you sit up straighter
Basically though, a good workout isn't going to happen at work. Make time when you aren't working. If you are still less than 30, realize it gets much much tougher later in life to catch up, and much tougher to even get back to a reasonable fitness from a gooey middle. It's best not to let things get out of hand in the first place.
Advertisers will eventually pay less or stop paying entirely when nobody inevitably buys their products. If they pay an agency, then the agency will reduce the payout or block the site entirely in favor of the higher performing sites. Nobody seems to consider that branding alone on the internet is not where the money comes from. Rich leads that end up buying products or signing up for content is normally the desired outcome of the advertiser. Take that away from them and they stop paying. Lose lose.
I don't think the cause and effect there is valid.
Like a lot of spam, the crime is occurring where the seller of spam services misleads the buyer about what they are getting ("lots of traffic!*" *nevermind that it's not traffic you want") the ad agencies and Google and others are convincing businesses of smaller and smaller means "you can get rich using the internet"
So there's always some other sucker to feed money into the ad-display industry that thinks something good will happen if they pay.
The ones whining, are the sites that get rich on the ad-display scam residuals coming through.
I have found, that if a small site takes the time to run ads for products they hand pick (and are also therefore hard to block because they run from the same URL) that the product is often worth looking at... after all, the site owner and I both thought the subject was interesting, now we have some other interesting thing in common.
I aggressively use all types of ad-blockers, and just today started a quest for a way to block all the external probes Facebook has placed everywhere. I am not going to stop, ever.
Find a new business model or die. That's all there is to it. My time, bandwidth and clicks are not some resource for some self-entitled internet communist to demand to fund his second pool at his summer house. The sites I have seen that are complaining about ad blockers are all run by guys who got rich by their ads.
Fark, for example both added tons more ads, sold out to the point that the rules were drastically changed to appease advertisers, and the guy that runs it has enough cash to go running all over to "meet up" with fans and quit his main job a while back. Now the site whines about end users using an ad blocker. Guess what, a fewer ads, less pandering to uptight nancies and more people would be ignoring the ads (and thus, letting them display).
I might sign up, and turn off ad blockers if I got some of the revenue in return. But not if it's "because I can give you content". Sorry, someone else will do it just as well.
Care to propose an alternative? For how many of the sites you visited today have you paid a subscription? I'm sure your/. subscription is paid up, and you're just too lazy to log in
It's not for us to come up with an alternate. YOU are the one with the failed business model. You fix it yourself.
Bullshit. That's propaganda (for their side and the west to propagate their "narrative). The Norks don't have anywhere near the capability people say they have. Materials, and in training (which also takes materials) and places to hide that stuff. Take a look at a map some time and pick out the infrastructure capable of "raining down 250k shells".... it's just not there.
That's pretty interesting. In some places in my state (US) the knife is a "I probably have a gun, too" signalling. In other places in the same state, the guys without the knives are the ones with the bigger weapons. I use a moderate sized folder as my "pocket clip" knife and pretty much every day use it for "tool" use. I find that any guy that gets the "fix this for me" crap all the time will be much more likely to have the tools on them. (WTF is it with people thinking an IT guy can get their car started? Do you go to your carpenter for Windows 8 advice?)

Yes, nutjobs who believe a chunk of metal is all about freedom and oppression and see government plots everywhere? Nuts like that?

Before NK started on developing actual nukes, their "nuclear option" was (and very arguably still is) artillery pieces. Thousands of them, including a few hundred 170mm guns and 240mm rocket launchers that can potentially reach Seoul. North Korea has stated that they can rain 250,000 shells per hour down on Seoul, although South Korean estimates are that they can do, at best, 20,000, and more realistically 2,400.
Bullshit. That's propaganda (for their side and the west to propagate their "narrative). The Norks don't have anywhere near the capability people say they have.
