    That's what he said. Look again :)

    You really don't have that much bandwidth to hand around. Depending on radio conditions you might have 100kb/s - for everyone to share.

    You should be wearing your eyewear.

    I'm sure you've also seen crews wearing some serious goggles, too.

    Woosh.

    Go read the grandparent again. He called the city "Possum Kingdom". The other guy was jabbing at that.

    It appears that you stopped reading to reply without reading my whole comment. You missed this part, as metacell expands upon in his reply.

    Then they get pissed off when you apply those words where they were meant to be applied.

    You really should read someone's whole post before you reply. I know - you might read something and get fired up - but you need to finish reading first.

    Pigs used to be slaughtered that way - one of my earliest memories was seeing a pig head with a bullet hole in it at the meat market where my dad worked.

    Sure you're not thinking of a captive bolt pistol?

    And no, nitrogen shouldn't cause hyperventilation as it allows CO2 exchange. Am I mistaken here?

    It stinks to high heaven.

    That may be the problem. The lawyers and politicians are not allowed up there.

    Why the hell would he stay there? Ecuador is just one of the ways to get out of where he is now. Once he's there, he has many more options.

    So, in order to say "hey we did it!" we had to point out the informants? Bullshit. We had plenty of other proof we could have offered up.

    Thanks. That you think exploding someone's skull is humane or not barbaric speaks volumes.

    I'd rather sit sedated in a chamber and have 100% nitrogen pumped in. Nicer for everyone. Little cleanup, and I'd just drift out of consciousness and be gone.

    covering it up is illegal.

    Is that actually the case? I don't actually know, so if you can point out proof that this is the case I'd be much obliged. It would also help restore a teeny bit of faith that things haven't gone to shit entirely.

    Except that, right after you sign those rights away, they go about pounding the words "honor" "loyalty" and "integrity" into your skull.

    I think it's cute that you believe this issue doesn't span party lines.

    I could think of plenty of reasons why we wouldn't go landing humans on Mercury. Why do you think this is unlikely?

    The silver lining is that if someone DOES get things moving, the big governments/corporations are going to bust-ass to get up there too - if only to secure their own agendas.

    So long as we get out there - I'd prefer we didn't do it for greed or power, but it's more important that we get there.

    Makes sense, as this is where they could match ballistics from. Everything else could be swapped out without much changing this, so this is the part you'd want to uniquely identify.

    Note they want "an operational firearm capable of shooting at least one standard .22 caliber bullet"

    That means a single shot disposable firearm would fit the bill.

    (which doesn't line up with my own rifle, oddly - the S/N is stamped into the outside of the barrel and there's nothing I can see on the rest of the gun)

    It's the lower which is considered the gun:

    1. Because this is where fun stuff like pistol grips are
    2. Because this is where the S/N of the gun needs to be

    No, not like that. More like this, but single-use.
