6" mirror grinding kit from Edmund Scientific (God I miss that store), purchased secondary and rack & pinion focuser. The rest was scavenged. It was pretty neat at low powers, but no where near as good as a cheap dept store scope today.
The state however, if it's run by others then the idiots running the American state, should be more interested in keeping it's taxpayers ALIVE and healthy so they can work and pay taxes next year.
Let's not kid ourselves here. The bulk of healthcare costs are consumed by the elderly who are no longer participating in the workforce. The social model only works if you have enough younger workers to support the system, which will no longer be the case for the Western economies in the next decade.
It has become a joke of a degree, which is a damn shame because it was a respected degree. My advice would be to go with math degree instead and minor in CS.
Having every citizen decide based on a 5-sentence position statement, seems like it might be better than letting a handful of citizens decide based on that same 5-sentence position statement and a large wad of cash.
That is really an issue of candidate selection and the many rules added by the 2 major parties to lock out 3rd party candidates.
M2 and M3 are measures of the money supply, which is NOT inflation. CPI is a measure of inflation.
Bullshit. Look up inflation in the dictionary. AFA the CPI is concerned, it was neutered by Boskin/Greenspan in 1993 to limit government liability payments.
We don't want to abandon control of our currency and let external factors cause massive inflation or deflation.
I got news for you. The only thing propping up the dollar is the willingness of FCBs to hoard them. When the FCBs (and really OPEC) finally reach saturation point you'll be burning them for warmth.
had we been on a gold standard, the money supply would have experienced 50% deflation in five years, matching the 1929-1933 10% annual deflation that caused the Great Depression.
You're right, better to hyperinflate into oblivion like the Weimar republic.
Not sure if he is a pro-lifer on religious grounds, or on his interpretation of Constitutional rights applying to the unborn. There are also many libertarians who argue that this is a state rights issue.
-Against gay marriage (this automatically should get him kicked out of the liberterian party IMO)
I've never read his official position, but the liberterian stance is to get govt out of the marriage game altogether.
-For the electoral college (this is not conservative per se, but it is certainly not liberterian where one vote should count the same as every other)
The libertarian stance is pro-EC. The reasons for the EC were layed out 200 yrs ago in the Federalist papers... basically to avoid mob-o-cracy.
At the end of the day the mayor, the sheriff and reservist all have to return to their homes amongst their neighbors. A potential bullet to the back of the head is more than enough incentive to keep things on the up and up. That is the power of the 2nd amendment.
That is why the coalition gov't in Iraq is doomed to fail, because the politicians and police seen working with the US are getting picked off one by one (or sometimes dozens at a time).
Being a steel beard I've spend many a year trying to perfect the perfect shave, but after a couple of decades of research I finally found a formula that works.
1. Has to be after a shower. 2. In shaving mug mix: Gillette shaving gel + a dash of mineral oil using a bristle shaving brush 3. After the foamy mixture is right apply to one of the stubble areas of the face (L cheek, R cheek, jawline, under chin, under lip and moustache area) 4. Down stroke with a Merkur Heavy Duty Safety Razor with a Merkur platinum coated double edged blade insert 5. Reapply the foamy mixture to that same area 6. Up stroke with a Gillette Mach 3 7. Once all the areas have been purged of stubble it is time to apply aftershave lotion (never use rubbing alchohol)
I went to an all boys Catholic high school many moons ago that a strict policy on being clean shaven, no hair below the collar... yada yada yada. Anyway I came in after weekend with a nice teenage beard going and one of the brothers pulled me aside and handed me a BIC razor. I spent the next hour and a half stuck in the lavatory trying to stop the bleeding.
For the rest of my time there I made sure I never missed a shave.

What's this?
This happened to me on Maple Street. Caused quite a stir and a few people wound up shot in the action ... course they were commies so no harm done.

Japan has been in a deflationary recession for 16 years.

I bought a Wii at launch at 8 am at a local Target. I got there around 1 am, and was 10th in line.
I have to ask, what possessed you to wait in line 7 hrs (in the bitter cold no less) for this or any product?
In 1993 on a University VAX my bet would of been Gopherspace. It had Archie and Veronica for godsake!!
And then I pull it out of the BioSensor and fuck your girlfriend in the dumper.
... I don't have a girlfriend so your system is worthless!
Ha you fool!
Still anyone with physical access to the system can pull the HDD and have at it later.

I would prefer electronic voting with a paper trail. A receipt that the voter could verify before leaving the booth.

He complains about how 1-2% annual inflation has been devaluing our savings
Where the hell are you pulling that 2% inflation figure from? Inflation is a monetary phenomena (ie. to inflate the money supply):
M2 M3

Here's a clue for you: the Iraqi insurgency doesn't use weapons that are legal for you to own. So much for the 2nd amendment.
ummm...
