I agree with the majority. The hotel was trying to do you a favor. You don't go spit in their face after they extend you a courtesy. After all, you left the toy there. Maybe $18 is enough to teach the lesson to turn the room over twice and get full accountability before leaving. Attention to detail fixes a lot of things.

For that matter, maybe a little bit of pain and suffering back in the judical system might help society. 12 hours of hard labor a day vs a A/C'ed room with cable sounds like a winner to me. Take away lethal injection and bring back old sparky, the gas chamber, hanging and the firing squads.

Terrible. WWII vets deserve our respect and admiration, not this horseshit. Crimes like these don't need to have limited sentances. Take them out back and hang them with a short rope so they can feel it.

Hope all that survived heal quickly. RIP to the dead. However, if you fucked up and you're going to fast to control because you're not paying attention in front of you, don't go kill other people trying to avoid by going left of center....

The problem of irresponsible owners is a major issue. People just don't care about their responsibilities and are willing to toss the animal as soon as it inconviences them. And the next time your buddy says he wants "x" but works 8 hours a day, remind him that "x" will require care and attention every few hours. It is not fair to a dog to take him out once in the morning and once in the evening and expect him to be satisfied. Hell, if you want a pet but your busy with work/life, get a snake/reptile. They are still fun to play with and only require 2 hours of care a week (Although more interaction is always better). You want a shepard (Or any high energy animal)? Be prepared to run 5 miles with the dog a day in addition to playing/walking him or he's going to be bored and eat your stuff because you're not taking care of him properly. Guess what? Dogs and cats live for a long time (10-15 years). Think that over and realize that getting that animal means caring for it until it dies. Guess what? They're expensive too. Like $1000's of dollars a year in feeding and proper vet care. Guess what? Animals get big. Research it before you buy it. If your puppy gets big and isn't cute anymore, that's not a good reason to abandon your care obligations. Train the animal. Spay/neuter the animal. Don't be that jackass with your dog off leash laughing as it harasses other dogs. If you do have to get rid of the animal, at least try and adopt it out first. A .22LR to the head may be more humane than a few days in the shelter. At least you're being a man and taking the responsibility instead of thinking happy thoughts about Fido when you drop him off so someone else can do your dirty work. Not to mention the people that breed endlessly for a source of income are flooding the market with animals that will mostly not be cared for properly, or eventually abandoned when they inconvience/anger the owner. So next time your buddy says he wants to breed "x" to make a few bucks, slap him upside the head. They're animals, not products. Long story short, don't buy a fucking animal unless you understand completely what is required to care for it. Including how long it will live and what it will cost.

Even if it is a veiled repost, it was still hilarious.

Get metal. Don't be cheap and make a AR from tupperware. Those full AR kits minus the lower are great deals. Hard as hell to find right now. $100 for a lower $150-$200 for a parts kit and stock $500 for an assembled upper (Hunt around on Gunbroker and you'll find one you like. Quad rail, RGB, etc.) $200 Troy BUIS (Well worth the $120 more than Magpul IMO) $25 Magpul RVG (Perfect length. Not too long, not to short). Brands don't matter that much. You don't need high end parts. You don't need to gear queer it out. BUIS work great once you're used to them (Providing the platform has a decent sight radius). Save the optic money for an ACOG or something to reach out and touch someone. Putting them together is fun. Interesting to see how everything works.

I have two I use. I had a double-walled leather belt made with my holster from C5 Leather and it works great. I also use a 5.11 Operator (Double thickness) 1.75" wide belt. That has become my EDC since the extra adjustability allow me to achieve better comfort. Cheaper than a custom leather one too. The key is a double thickness. Elsewise its too floppy to support the weapon, IWB or OWB.

First off, your not buying a gun. A gun is an artillery piece. You're interested in buying a weapon. My advice is to head to a local shooting range and try out a few of their range guns. Blackwing has a good selection of rifles and pistols to choose from and their prices aren't terrible. Also, I'm bound to go shooting and blowing up stuff here sometime soon, so if you wanted to go that route I could let you know when were heading out and you could tag along for that. We've all been shooting for years, some in the military, and would be happy to show you the ropes. We've also got a pretty varied selection of weapons as well. My key advice would be don't buy anything because someone tells you to. There is no returning weapons for the most part, so once you've bought it, it is yours. Go try someone else's first before you spend your money on it.

Hell its dark at 2000 if you go in October.

Good memories. TV crew showed up there too.

No, I was just qualifying my reasoning. I'm one of those people that think plastic belongs in tupperware.

Sorry for the delayed reply, was in AK last month. 1. Some people don't like polymer ARs. I tend to agree that I'd rather my ARs be built out of metal. Not that there is any evidence supporting that polymer will wear faster than the metal. Just people's personal preference that limits your market. 2. It has never been fired is good in that it is brand new. However, it is also not tested. If there were a factory error, something was broken, etc, then the buyer would be stuck fixing it. Granted fixing ARs is like putting legos together, but still. Since it is going to be sold as used (You won't sell it for retail price, and I couldn't sell it later for a new price either) I'd rather be buying a used weapon that was actualy tested. My .02.

The type of steel is important because it determines the thickness. I shot a match down at Ft. Gordon a few years back and we all had to get our ammo checked after one of the targets had holes punched through it. Turns out they used a lesser steel for the target. So even though the dimensions were the same, the lesser steel had almost no resistance to penetration.

If money is no object: 30'x25' main garage (20' ceiling) 20'x20' attached side building (10' ceiling, Paint booth) Reinforced concrete pad for both. Floors angled for drainage. Drains installed. Fine mesh covers. Easily removable. Floors epoxy coated. Lots of overhead florescent fixtures. Double what you think is needed. So nice to have a well lit garage. 9.5' garage door that retract straight up. No blocking lights when they are open. Fully insulated walls, ceiling, doors, and pad. No windows. HVAC for Heating and Cooling. Door entry to connection point between building. Deep sink Fridge/Freezer combo Radio antenna ran to roof. Seperate air handler for paint booth. Good modular hanging system for paint booth. +1 for the 300 amp line Piles of outlets Security system A-Frame lift Bike lift Multiple jacks and stands 80 gal multi stage compressor (2x if planning on painting and working at same time) Toy box full of tools TIG welder MIG welder Plasma cutter Wall mounted strut compressor Solid workbench (6'-10' long, 2" hardwood top, Bolted to floor) Vice 6" bench grinder with pedestal Sandblaster Drill press Computer with ETMs A decrepit old couch Pieces of bikes/cars you've broken Pictures of you breaking said bikes/cars

Isn't this akin to trying to fix up an 85 Honda Accord? I can see "The heat shield bolts are rusted into the manifold but I want everything to be original. What should I do?" It's just a Magna. Grind and weld already and get back riding.

Definitely Rome. No question. Or a trip to Citadel Juarez. But that just doesn't say I love you the same way. More of I love you enough to sell you to a cartel to pay off my gambling debt.

I can't figure out how to quote with my crappy phone, but the word is BRED. Not bread. Bread is food (Granted I've eaten dog overseas but...). Hard to judge the officer's reaction on that one. He could have easily used a non-lethal weapon and achieved the same level of control over the animal. But if he really felt like the dog was going to kill him, then it could be justified.

I've had this problem as well and I also vote diet. I changed my diet to a fiber intensive heathy variety and that helped a bunch. Also don't spend any longer on the can than you have to. Playing on phone while crapping = anal pain.

I agree the price is reasonable. Only issue you might have is its a polymer AR and its never been fired. GLWS.

Can't watch the video cleanly (In a campground in Homer) but that is not suprising. The amount of intel they have to recieve would be staggering. All about the intel community's priority level they assigned to it. They can't freak out over each report. Just a media source finding another leak (Old story in this case) that wants publicity and using them to get ratings off this story. But yes, the Patriot Act is hugly powerful.

And he pulls the application as soon as he is told he would have to play nice. Wish someone would approve his request and then just divert the plane for DC in mid-flight. Hopefully someone snaps a shot of him as the Captain reports they have to make a emergency landing in the US.

Been living in the garage and paint booth so haven't had a chance to respond. I'm curious who you think should be punished? This guy knowingly accepted a job with a clearance, and got paid handsomely for it. He didn't like something he found so he violated his NDA and his TS/SCI and exposed the information. He didn't just expose information either, he made sure to do it in a manner that allowed him to take the credit for the exposure. He also was whining and crying about being punished for that same credit he wanted. The punishment has to be swift and harsh to prevent others from following in his footsteps. Yes, I think they just make an example of him because he is worse that just a leak, he's being an cowardly attention whore while he is at it. The intelligence gathering program information he leaked shouldn't have been that much of a suprise. Have you read what the Patriot Act allows for? I'm pretty sure the camera in my bathroom has an NSA logo on it.

Lol. But I really hope they find this guy and fry him. Joins as an 18X and can't hack it so he medicals out rather than finish his four as 11 bang bang. The CIA sees fit to give him a job and a clearance. Gets a job with the NSA making bank. Sees something he doesn't like and decides to break his clearance to tell the world about it. Decides he wants the credit due so he does it publically so everyone knows it was him....After fleeing to a non-extradition country so he can get the credit without the punishment....And then proceeds to start running more once we set our sights on him. Whining about not being able to get a fair trail while still leaking more information. Fucking putz. Cut out his tounge, tie a US flag around his neck and drop him on the Paki/Afghan border.

I do the same thing. Photocopy of the DL is stored with the BoS.
