The upper receiver - which is also "the gun" legally AFAIK - is the part that has the chamber, etc that's going to be the critical part to the function of a gun.
Make that receiver(s), and i agree. However there are other components that don't do well unless they are hardened, like hammers, guide pins, springs. breech bolt...
I don't think id trust a plastic upper either, due to the bolt flying back and forth in it.
After all if these images were just pixels to everyone, and we could all just refuse to process them at a conscious level, then why is the job of removing them even necessary?
If you ask me, i do think its unnecessary as i don't ask anything of anyone that i wouldn't/couldn't do myself.
And i didn't mean try to portray empathy as a bad thing, as its not, i just don't see viewing some images as a valid situation to have it with.
As i stated earlier up, i have been tasked with this very thing in the past, and while i cant tell you exactly how many images/sites i verified, by making some guesses with how long i did it ( about a year, 1.5 hour a day ) i would say in the 5 figure range. And since i didn't 'register' them, i don't remember the content of a single one.
Furthermore, back to the real subject, I do not consider myself extraordinary so if i completely disconnect, anyone can, or they are a complete looser.
And for the record: 12 years Marine Corps, and counting.
It boils down to a simple fact, crooks prefer easy targets. If you appear to be more work than the guy next door, he will move on unless he wants YOU. Then nothing will stop him and will just laugh at your fake system that didn't magically become 'real'..
You may have missed it due to all the nonsense being posted, but i never said i would just sit there and enjoy them like i would watch batman or something. The simple fact is, I can easily disconnect from the images so they are nothing more than pixels, as that is all they really are. Then purely react on reflex, and the images never register at all. I DON'T ACTUALLY PROCESS THE IMAGE AT A CONSCIOUS LEVEL. ( its really a simple concept, or is it just too complex for your tiny little mind to comprehend ? )
Getting emotionally involved with some image because you are too week and cant look away or control your own emotions would be a better cause for getting counseling then being able to not be effected and picking the wrong career for yourself.
And I'm done arguing. You are a pansy ass, period. Just accept it, be happy, and go sniff some flowers. Just don't turn on the tv, it might eat you.
There's no way Tesla would have known anything about it. He had neither the math nor the particle physics knowledge to even guess at such a thing. You are essentially combining a variety of different ideas together that have little to do with each other.
Yes i have, and you sound like a pansy ass. Go back to working in a flower shop of something if you cant handle it.
We are also talking about effects of seeing a image, not watching the act in person. I have stated earlier that i fully agree that being there in person would effect most people, but not all, and i wouldn't call them weak if it did. However, if an IMAGE causes you problems, i stand by my statement that you are weak.
Apparently you failed the test to be able to 'disconnect' from the job properly and really shouldn't have been there, and something was wrong with you ( or at least your choice in professions as it wasn't a match ),
I have seen far worse than that, and i cant even remember it because it was just a image that never was allowed to make an impact or form a memory.
I can also help a person work on a 'classified document' and never actually comprehend the content, it was just disconnected letters. It was not retained in the least.
Now im not saying if i was on a team that was to get personally involved for months on end to save that particular little girl in your brain, and do hours of research on her and her alone, it it wouldn't effect me as of course it would, unless i had no heart at all.... But we aren't talking about that, we are talking about reviewing images as they blink on and off a screen in a matter of seconds, at the most, using what is in effect a reflex.
Actual *investigating* would be a far cry than just looking at images fly past your face.
In those cases the police get up and personal with what is going on, sometimes for months on end, the children and the offenders. They get involved. This is why they are effected.
I have to totally agree, seeing it in pictures is far different than sitting there watching it happen in real life. In that case i may not use the 'weak mind' argument.
I know personally i have been in the position of 'reviewing' internally reported sites in a large corporate environment, and it didn't effect me in the least, i knew it was just a bunch of pixels on the screen and didn't change me in the least. Also i didn't take it home with me. I also didn't hate or enjoy, it was just my job at the time. Of course by the other guy's definition, that makes me a sociopath i guess.
Price has nothing to do with its appliance status. Ever priced a good fridge or stove? they can easily cost more than a power book.
Appliance in this context is a single ( or limited ) use commercial product that you take out of the box and use it as it is. Much like a modern TV is an appliance that can now do more than one thing.
While people in the tech world still dont believe it since we are biased, most consumers want a computer product to surf the web, watch movies look at Facebook and play angry birds ( or whatever is cool at the moment ). And you will find that in the end, they win as they are who is paying the bills at these companies, not us.
Yes. They want appliances that "just work" and they have no plans on futzing with. True, prices need to drop some to be truly disposable but it will happen.
Even tech people i know are getting tired of dealing with it and just want a 'box'.

I use mine for streaming radio, but my battery is still good.
The old 'flying windows' sort of logo, which was stupid, was much more identifiable with Microsoft.

According to current laws, no its not.

Lowers, are much more tolerant.
No thanks. ( and a few other parts. )

Ya, sure you are.

One needs to get it in the right order.

It was Tesla, of course he knew.
Empathy for actual people and animals yes, pixels on the screen, no.
And dont worry, i dont consume alcohol as its bad for you. But, your kids would be safe with me, as they are real and not some digital representation.
I bet you voted democrat too.
The real problem is that your product wasn't worth paying the amount you were asking.
Yes i have, and you sound like a pansy ass. Go back to working in a flower shop of something if you cant handle it.

No there isn't a "test", but it should be pretty apparent when you started the job if it was going to bother your not.
Apparently you failed the test to be able to 'disconnect' from the job properly and really shouldn't have been there, and something was wrong with you ( or at least your choice in professions as it wasn't a match ),

Try again. I can guarantee I have seen more than you have and it doesn't mean diddly to me seeing it on a screen.
Only if they are weak and had no business there in the first place.
Actual *investigating* would be a far cry than just looking at images fly past your face.

Pansy.

Unless you have something to hide.
Of course, in this case, whichever side has more cash will win, but in a perfect world it would be based on facts and logic and not raw money.
Should not accept assignments like this.

But is that what the masses really want?
Yes. They want appliances that "just work" and they have no plans on futzing with. True, prices need to drop some to be truly disposable but it will happen.
