yeah I saw one in a shop that even had a 10 round drum magazine. That had to be the worst weight to capacity ratio of any magazine I have ever seen.

You need to be more specific. You looking for print design for advertising? Print and web for same? Making a web site look pretty? Or do you ahve some grand plan for a very complicated web site that is the product (in which case you probably want a developer as well as a designer). You looking to actually pay someone, or is this unpaid help a buddy out kind of thing?

It isn't roshambo. It's pass fail. Do you feel they are trying to kill you? Yes? Then stop them ffrom killing you by killing them first. No? then do not kill them. You can be beaten to death with bare hands. How realistic that threat is is very situational.

*sigh* was there ever a problem with a gun that was fixed by staring down the barrel?

Man, I feel for mods on forums. I just love it when people break out the first amendment argument. Forget that this is a private venue, and by agreeing to participate here you agree to certain terms of behavior. The first amendment does not guarantee you that anyone has to listen to what you say, agree with you, or protect you in any way from repercussions from your statements.

The important part is that courts keep on saying that they declared that your 2A protections only apply to the home and outside the home is entirely "compelling state interest" territory. What was in fact stated was that the rulings are NOT limited to the home, that there must be some implicit right to make use of arms outside the home, but that the decisions offer no definition of where the line between compelling state interest and the right to bear arms might be. The anti courts are probably right that they can get away with some severe restrictions on carrying. However, they seem to think that arbitrary and ill defined mystery requirements such as NJ have aren't a problem because you can have some degree of limitation, completely ignoring that the fact they are arbitrary makes them insufficient. They could drop the language they have now, and have a requirement that if you have ever had a moving violation or parking ticket, you cannot have a carry permit as you clearly have demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law. They'd be much more likely to get away with that, except it would exclude most everyone, including folks they currently hand them out to.

Hmm, we mostly run iphones at work. Hundreds of them. We don't have return issues. Also, we aren't handing them out to teenagers who treat them like they couldn't give a crap. Apple also does not use a commodity SSD for their laptops. It is unfortunately a proprietary form factor for fitment purposes. The optional ones that are upgrades to their mechanical laptop drives might be commodity, but all the systems with non-optional SSDs are not. Also, even if what you stated was true, phones are not laptops or desktops. Apple usually specs out their systems very well for compatibility and stability. Their main issue historically is poor thermal management, usually sacrificed on the altar of style. Their latest round of laptops actually appear to be better than similar sized PCs. All the PC designers seem to have smoked some sort of engineering crack that tells them laptops will never be placed on a lap or table, and thus putting all your air intakes on the bottom of the machine is obviously ok. I'd be cautious of the ultra think imac though. None of this helps the OP though. My guess would be a driver update hosed something and it is now booting directly to BSOD. OP should put the actual BSOD error code and text up (not the hex dump portion).

It is the case. As a teenager, I didn't learn a damn thing from my father. Figured a lot out on my own. These days I only have so much time, and though I get to take care of some stuff myself, I often don't have enough time to fix mistakes like when I was in high school.

I don't know if it was one loose .22, but someone got whacked with a felony charge for one loose hp round. Of course it was on top of the assault, DUI, and at least one other felony charge. Guy was at a club, got drunk, beat the snot out of someone in the parking lot, and then tried to drive off under the influence.

We always accept stages. Currently I have zero I'm sending out the call for stages in a few.

What do you believe to be bs? Iirc the Ccw reciprocity amendment to the senate bill got 54 yeas. Enough to make it were it not for the 60 vote up/down requirement imposed by the speaker of the house. The bill would not need to get out of the senate before it was laden with multiple poison pills.

There isn't if the pack isn't snugged up as good as a vest. Which isn't int the instructions, and may not be possible if you are using the pack as a pack and have odd shaped stuff in it. My point is a soft panel in a soft bag carried off body is taking the panel well outside of the parameters it was designed to operate in and totally negates the nij rating.

They seem to be soft panels. From my understanding, soft panels not backed by a firm surface do not offer the rated protection.

Good question. What I can tell you is that under the 94 AWB, which shared the same evil features language as the NJ AWB currently has, adjustable butt plates were acceptable to the BATFE. Fulton armory sold their guardian shorty fixed butt stock with their adjustable butt plate on new AWB complaint rifles without causing any BATFE issues for themselves. I know accuracy speaks was building guns with full length stocks and their adjustable butt plate as well. That doesn't mean there is zero risk in NJ, it just means it is defensible with some examples.

You missed what happened if you think that the house option was possible. IT went to a up down vote rather than a simple majority because it would have gotten a lot of pro gun owner provision attached in the senate if they had done that. The house wouldn't have had to do much other than removed anything that got amended that was further burdensome as well as amend the objectionable core of the bill. And we would have likley wound up with compromise. Namely a background check that was required, but could be performed by every citizen without removing private commerce in firearms within a state, and gun owners would have gotten benefits like the safge passage laws actually having some teeth for states that don't wish to comply and CCW reciprocity. They don't want something effective. They want something punitive that they believe will drive down gun ownership so it ceases to be a political issue that attracts voters and thus they permanently increase their margin over the GOP and move us closer to a one party system in every regard rather simply in terms of selling tax dollars for personal gain at a crappy exchange rate.

OK, I'm going to put out some food for thought. I'm not going to claim it is absolutely right, or absolutely wrong. In fact, my position is really primarily targeted at the one size fits all mentality, and that even if you need to head down that road for institutional/practical reasons of training, as an individual you might want to at least think reconsider your position/practices/methods based on some facts rather than misconceptions, as well as some hedges on the abilities of the average human being that I believe differ from the common wisdom of trainers. I welcome debate, but please be cogent rather than just saying you are wrong. 1) "you lose fine motor skills under stress, so uses finger grasping method X because it is a gross motor skill" - this premise is just wrong. damn near everything you do with your hands that doesn't involve a paddle like motion originating form flexing the wrist is a fine motor skill period. An example of something that IS a gross motor skill vs. fine motor skill in the operation of small arms comes form the ar-15 world. IF you have an oversized cahrging handle that allows you to operate the action with the palm of your hand, that IS a gross motor skill vs. the three finger pinch. 2) "the power stroke is teh awesomez!!!!" - case in point, the video above. He demonstrates the undeniable speed of the power stroke. The power stroke SEEMS way faster than the slide release, but in reality he is rushing the whole process faster while also only apparently gaining a small time advantage. It's not really faster. He in fact hedges his instruction that he is faster with the slide release on the guns he is familiar with. He also states you deliver maximum power by grasping with your four fingers wrapped over the top. This, to me, appears to be total BS. I will allow that their may be some common problem amongst your average person that this covers up and is which is simpler than training folks out of said problem, but I don't know what that is if it exists. What I CAN tell you is that the majority of your grip strength comes from your thumb and your first three fingers. Go look at something like the captains of crush grip strength training tools. Meet them in person. Measure the resistance of the various tools. The most stout resistance is NOT on the ones meant for the pinky and ring finger. IF you are lucky enough to be able to clear the ejection port with your pinky and still get your thumb and forefinger on the slide, the power stroke works great for grip. if not it doesn't. I can tell you as an RO, when a competitor seriously jams up their gun, you don't fix it with a power stroke grip you fix it with physics tricks and a slingshot style grip because this is how you can impart the most energy to it without using tools. I would argue strongly that although the power stroke grip might prevent bad form in how the arms are involved (i.e. preventing the use of weaker muscle groups), for a significant number of people, it either prevents you form using the strongest portion of your grip, or it forces you to have your pinky and/or ring finger interfere with the ejection port while clearing jams. The former reduces your chance of clearing jams, while the latter does that as well as increasing your risk of off hand injury if you induce cartridge ignition outside of the chamber by causing a primer impact with the ejector of the gun. While I agree with the premise of the video that one should have a technique that is more platform agnostic DEEPLY ingrained in your practice, I suggest that the slingshot method or slingshot like method that involves the thumb, forefinger,a nd middle finger as the primary source of grasping strength, at least on a gun that has decent rear slide serrations, is superior. Then you have the issue of the fine/gross motor skills. As I stated above, the power stroke is NOT a gross motor skill if you actually bring science into it. As a fine motor skill, I can tell you that performing fine motor skill actions is SIGNIFICANTLY easier with parts of the body that have more brain dedicated to operating those parts. The slingshot grip, or variations thereon, have the thumb, forefinger and middle finger as the primary operators and manipulators, and that is the order of decreasing amount of brain real estate dedicated to controlling the motor functions of those digits. If you want to clear the ejection port, the power stroke grasp lets the pinky finger lead the charge, which has the LEAST amount of brain power dedicated to controlling it. This strikes me as bad. 3) with the increasing prevalence of smaller carry guns, the issue of grasping real-estate being very small puts the powerstroke grasp into the realm of sub optimal for a dramatically larger portion of the population than with a full size sidearm. As a demonstration of my statements about motor skills and strength, here are a couple of try it yourself experiments. - It's not the best home experiment example of this, but should be enough to notice a difference for most people. In decreasing order of how much brain you have dedicated to fine motor control, the order for the following is in most control -> least control. Tongue > forefinger > thumb > middle finger > ring finer > pinky. Open your mouth so you can easily touch the tips of both canines. Alternate between touching your left and right with the tip of your tongue speeding up to go as fast as you can until you start making mistakes and missing. Try the same thing with your forefinger, thumb, middle finger, etc. notice which ones reuslt in errors sooner and at lower speeds. Note which bits are faster with less mistakes. -for strength and control, break out your gallon jug of milk or water. Put two quarters on a table a little over shoulder width apart. place the jug with one corner touching the quarter. Now, using your forefinger, middle finger and thumb, pick the jug up and move it from that quarter to a similar corner touching set up with the other quarter without disturbing either quarter (note, start position is hands off the jug). Repeat increasing speed until you get errors or you have done it half a dozen times. Now repeat hooking your pinky, ring finger and middle finger through the jug handle. Note which you achieve better success with (as in higher speed with less errors).

During the peak oversupply around that time, 1000 rounds of federal xm193 could be had for between $245-280 a case of 1000, and you could snag as much as you wanted any given day. Ammo suppliers were deliberately cutting back production because that price was way too low to sustain comfortably. So they started cutting back until the price hit between $349-369 per 1k, and they didn't really ramp up for the election, much less sandy hook panic.

for cars, the price is relative to the age of the vehicle. No idea why a motorcycle is $65 though.

Heck, I had an awesome teacher in middle school who was forced out because he dared to teach that what the textbooks taught was not the only way to get the answer, and in fact might not be a very good way of solving the problem at all and that most of the time it skirted around actually understanding the very thing you were trying to learn about. After they pushed him out, he started working in the same town as some sort of compliance officer. He got to harass them constantly about conforming to the rules of a bureaucracy.

Materials technology and manufacturing efficiency is going to bring the ability to make a very wide selection of stuff to a very large portion of the human population of the planet. This is just the american idol demographic finding out the world is taking on a whole new shape regardless of how passive and stupid they choose to be. It will change the face of risk management, and it will scare a large portion of the population.

I haven't been watching all the details, but if your account is accurate, the ruling makes sense. If it is allowed in opening statements, the defense lawyer could, and likely would use the opportunity to mention things that would be perceived as testimony or evidence that the prosecution couldn't counter without bringing up material that is potential more harmful to their case if brought up themselves than if brought up by the defense. If it just limits opening statements, then the footing is more even to challenge anything said. It should cut both ways and probably does not. I doubt this is going to be a particularly tenable case for the prosecution given the charges and the fact that the police and DA did not think they had a case previously. Pretty much everything made public to date seriously undermines the media's narrative of an innocent minority murdered by a crazy gun toting white guy.

OK, the dude needs some common sense. "17. They Have Loads of Dangerous Animals but Worry About Australia’s Snakes and Spiders"\ Grizzzly bears, mountain lions, etc can't hide in my shoe and kill me because I forgot to check before putting my foot in it. I can see the bear. I can choose not to knowingly provoke the bear. I don't have to worry about a 1cm square freshwater jellyfish that will leave me in agonizing pain in the hospital for a month if I am lucky and don't just die in the water. So... yeah.. I'll fully agree with #2 though "2. They Build some of the Ugliest Towns in the Most Beautiful Locations"

Yeah, I do have to wonder how much of a police force you'd have left the next day. There seems to be quite a number of process issues that crop up at T plus 12:01.

Fourth in my division, 11th overall. Took a buttload of speeding tickets on stage 6. Can't complain about where I ended up. Heck I killed stage 2. Second overall and only 8% off the m class open shooter who was first. High hit factor on the classifier is insane. 5.3 hit factor is low b.
