Yeah, go for a good quality one like a Spears or a Cepex. Those hardware store white ones get brittle, lock up, and snap like you saw. I spend the 30-40 on one of the good ones and it stays smooth forever.

The brass took away the giggle switch from the crayon eaters to save on their ammo bill. There’s a reason “marining” is a verb, after all.
But every gun is designed to kill people, all the way back to the musket. And your suggestion of an integral magazine doesn’t do much, even if you could somehow round up all the ARs with detachable mags and “fix” them. The M1 Garand and it’s stripper clips are a historic example, and the modern ejection port mag loaders the neutered California ARs have to use make it trivial to reload.
You want to tackle this issue? Safe storage laws, building a culture around free, government-provided training and safety, and harsher punishments for NDs are a place to start. That’s not even getting into the quagmire that is our terrible healthcare system, and law enforcement that on average can’t do their jobs and act on tips that would stop many of the recent big mass shootings.
You’re good! In many ways that’s exactly what the marketing people on the anti-gun side wanted to happen. They knew that psychologically the two terms would become synonymous with each other. Unfortunately the attitude problem you highlighted in the loud minority of gun owners only helped that advertising campaign.
Not to go off on a tangent, but it’s “assault weapon” that’s the boogeyman term, meant to confuse the uninformed with assault rifles. Assault rifles are select fire, full auto and burst fire capable rifles. Assault weapons are semi-automatic rifles that have the same or similar cosmetics as assault rifles.
The trick is a person latches onto the adjective, not the noun, and a rifle is a kind of weapon, so it makes it seem like assault rifles fit under assault weapons, when I’m fact it’s the opposite.
I agree, but I think it’s more than just not liking something. There’s an active component to it, like if through your hatred of mayo you were trying to ban its use on sandwiches and in sauces.
Whatever you say, bud. It’s not worth the time or crayons to debate you further on this.
“Obvously…” /s
Or, when you run the numbers yourself, you realize that it’s about as dangerous as offshore wind turbines are to birds and fish. Which is to say, not very, but a lot of extremely dumb people still parrot it.
Have you tried cleaning the port out? My last phone had issues with a wobbly cable and not always connecting when I plugged it in. Turned out a bunch of pocket lint and other debris got packed in there, and once I cleaned it out it worked like new. Had to do that twice in the 6 or so years I owned that phone.
It really depends on what part is creaking, but somewhere there’s a gap near the creak between the joist, subfloor, and/or floor that’s letting things flex. Gotta close that gap to stop the squeak.
Nope! You can buy a tank online. Probably will set you back about as much as a new Ferrari for a restored Cold War example, but no permit required.
If you can, it’ll be in the router’s web console under something named like “VPN Server.” You’ll need a higher end router to have that function built in, though.
…then whoever defines “hateful” determines what the rest of us can view, and ISPs aren’t even held accountable when they do stupid shit now.
Right. Basic 2+2 stuff or simple solve for x is easy, but then you start deriving and integrating, working on sets with linear algebra, or going beyond simple calculus to apply it to physics, biology, and chemistry. I was at the point where even some calculus I could do in my head, but when I took quantum I had to write each step down.
Plus, if you don’t get the right answer, if you show your work the professor can show you where you went wrong so you can improve. I had a math teacher explain that in high school, and it was enough for me to take the 30 seconds to jot down the steps.
No, you should talk to them and start that petition. I’m happy to let it burn to the ground with Musk at the helm. He becomes poorer and indebted to foreign monied interests, I get to watch a digital Hindenburg. It’s a win-win for me.
If each person who signs contributes the small sum of one billion dollars then this will go somewhere. Only way to get Twitter back is to buy it from Musk for more than he paid.
This isn’t a good thing unless you’re a Microsoft shareholder. Big companies constantly go back on their word and face zero consequences. It’ll be exclusive before the 10 year mark unless the FTC starts trust busting like they used to.
They said “choosing,” which is the key word in their statement. Some people don’t have a choice like you said, but that’s really just a matter of the push/pull forces of migration at this point.
