Yeah, I wish I had a huge shop, too. Half the basement is less than ideal.
It's not too recent an acquisition - at least a few seasons old. I think even/he/ is hesistant to use it unless he really needs to because just using that thing is gloating. *USED* ones go for $7K or so.
How on earth do you work without a planer?
The bandsaw is...an oversight. Survivable, but I'd be striving to get one, were I you. In Europe, the BS is the "central" machine, as we treat our tablesaws.
And, speaking of that, his TS isn't big (it's a standard sized cabinet saw), he has just made a bunch of outfeed space and a very long side support. That's all shop-made space. The actual factory saw part is stock, and it's just a normal 10" blade.
Now, if you had mentioned his hydraulically actuated wide-belt sander....THAT it beyond the "normal" shop. And his jointer is mighty large, too. If I was getting some crazy big jointer, I'd go for an Oliver instead of that Delta DJ-20 he has (notably, I have a wimpy little 6" - oh, well).
In this country, laws [of physics] dictate that guns make a loud noise when fired.
Once one animal is annihilated by the "Boom Stick", the lots and lots of other animals wlil generally mosey on out of the area with haste.
So, yes, over the course of years, say, the number of slaughtered beings might reach the "lots and lots" level. But unless they're staking the animals to the ground within range of the cameragun like a goat on Komodo, there's not going to be some bloody pile of animal carcases laid out on camera by some kid with a valid Visa number.
I used to date a cop (this was like 6 years ago, too) and she was the first in her department to be sent off to learn about extracting fingerprints from *cloth*.
A friend of mine did.
But, he was a research-oriented social psychologist, and his calling up for jury duty came at the worst possible time for his current studies.
Fortunately, social psychologists and their ilk are shunned from juries, in general (he can be a bastard and make you question what you felt were strongly held beliefs by asking you the right questions - lawyers view people like him as very likely getting 'their way' regarding the outcome), so they dismissed him.
I agree that utter cluelessness just makes things worse.
That said, it's so utterly simple to garner at least a modicum of Clue that you can at least have SOME reasoning behind your voting.
I would have considerably more respect for someone who votes for Bush because they feel strongly against same-sex marriage (which, notably, I also disagree strongly with that person on) versus some imp who votes Kerry because he looks like Lurch and they always liked watching the Addams Family as a kid.
Although, I feel strongly enough about Bush that I might welcome the Imp vote this time around.
That article has 1592 words.
Of that, one sentence, 20 words, is devoted to that topic. The rest to "business-end" discussion.
So, yes, I suppose that that would constitute "any amount" of coverage. But it was obviously B.S. fluff to fill out the authors hackneyed take on "The Twelve Days of Christmas".
Nonetheless, well done, sir:)
That's the difference between munchkin play and actual role-playing.
I feel that it should have been made clear that character creation decisions may have impact on that character's interaction with the game. Not disclosing what that implies is part of the adventure, I think.
If the game is noted as "historical" (can't check - server slashdotted) I think that should be more or less a given. There were no soccer moms in ancient Egypt.
So, yes, people got screwed. The overwhelming majority of people "got screwed" in ancient Egypt. If you want actual role playing, you should probably expect to get similarly screwed.

They're up to minutes, now? SWEET!
Think of it in percentage of total net worth.
.2% per year. That's not much.
In that case, he's donating somewhere around

I do, too - was pegged at 50 for quite a while before it moved to the Vague System. Still, old habits die hard.
I don't when I expect the value of my comment is such that I'm asking to be flagged "Overrated" if I do. Like now.
Uh. The '0' is on the bottom row in both layouts.
Have you heard of me?
hehe.
I followed it from the start.
It was a sequiter sub-thread regarding popularity and relative vulnerability to exploit.
Apache is more popular than IIS. IIS is less secure because it's easy (and fun, I hear) to exploit.
Analogies are valid methods of comparison, you know.
You really couldn't extrapolate that he was comparing Apache to IIS?

just remember - don't bring a router to a tablesaw fight.
I'll sell my four-digit. Make an offer.
You are aware that "Coke II" (not C2 Cola) is just New Coke renamed, right? (as of 1992).
I live in Chicago and have never run across it.
Note, we (the Midwest) are not in the South and do not have New Coke.
Also, nearly all of our vehicles have hoods.
Most people I know disavow all knowledge of a third "Godfather" movie. ;)

because I'm sure there's no way to, you know, disconnect the gun for retrieval times.
You are very wrong about this.
I used to date a cop (this was like 6 years ago, too) and she was the first in her department to be sent off to learn about extracting fingerprints from *cloth*.
She showed me the materials for the class, even.
