  1. the glue factories won't take their carcasses though. you can cut them up for chum or enrich soil in a worm garden for you anglers.

  2. I'm still laughing too hard at the "rich" part, horse is less than an average person's car payment per month. A Walmart greeter at $9 / hr could afford a horse; one week a month they'd be working for the horse though 8D

  3. you think a pet that costs couple or three hundred bucks a month is only for rich person? get a real job you slacker.

  4. eh, plenty of solidly middle class people where I live have horses (midwest). All total a horse is about $250 a month to keep.

    True story, at my last job the sharepoint server self-destructed. We had full backups of system and database. Even with Microsoft support the thing could not be recovered and year of data of client data was lost (was an IT VAR that did also service and support). Why would anyone buy a system that destroys information irretrievably? what a piece of shit.

    anyway, my only interaction with sharepoint at present job is via browser and it acts "normally" anyway (slow bloated piece of badly designed shit)

  6. You are wrong, there is NO such requirement and a central repository of guns sales DOES NOT EXIST. Look up facts before spewing in ignorance. There are only state laws.

    It is not for anyone else to judge the worth of what I do, that is my choice and values and mine alone. If no one remembers me but I judge my life fulfilling that is right. If I choose to do something that others will remember gladly that is another matter

    Compared to Hillary who lies about her crimes?

    Trump is very bad, Hillary is worse. The Clintons are dirty, since the 1990s always slipping out of investigations into their crimes with their "teflon" powers.

    Oh, you can't do it? I guess we know where the retardation is here.

  11. what does a "tracked" weapon get us?

    terrorist or armed robber can't use a "tracked" weapon? whackjob can't shoot up a schoolyard with his mother's "tracked" weapon?

    My guns were purchased in 1980s and early 1990s. The serial numbers on the record of sale were then kept in file cabinet at the gun store as per state law...but those gun stores aren't around any more. In theory those stores should have turned over those records to the state police and maybe that's what happened. Wonder what cheap paper with high acid content looks like after 25+ years....

  12. what does 3D printing get a terrorist? on With 3D Printer Gun Files, National Security Interest Trumps Free Speech, Court Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If a terrorist was going to bother to make a gun, why wouldn't they use 150 year old methods rather than 3D printing one?

    Aside from very underpowered calibers such as .22 or .380ACP, to have an entirely 3D printed gun that fires a normal standard self-defense or carbine round requires laser sintered metal process, plastic doesn't work without significant risk of explosion.

    AK-47 variants on the black market can be had for $250 to $600 in various parts of the world. Not seeing any reason a terrorist would even stoop to wasting the time to make a gun.
