| There is nothing on craigslist but scams and spam. Not true, you just have to know how to use it, though I can see why so many people think so. If you post your own ad and require a key phrase like "use your favorite movie as your subject line" and don't sound too desperate/creepy it's completely p... |

| The fact that I enjoyed Fallouts 1 and 2 in the past didn't inhibit me from enjoying this great game in it's own right, considering the length of time and advance in technology since the original games I think Bethesda did a great job in preserving the feel of the serious while updating the game pla... |

| I could do pretty well without "high" technology, most of my machine tools date from the 1940's or earlier, and in the case of my lathes could even be converted to treadle power and run manually. Given enough time, I could produce a steam engine to run my larger mill and other power tools off of fly... |

Nah, even our Dems aren't that dumb, besides which we now have irrefutable Constitutional protections thanks to Heller and McDonald. |

| Personally, I think many Aspies go through something very similar to the stages of grief upon diagnosis before coming to acceptance; one of those stages often is "I'm not just different than everyone else, I'm actually better!". For most, this is a short lived coping mechanism and passes, but some p... |

| I've used a #5 shade of goggles as sunglasses during long road trips with lots of glare, they work very well for that purpose as well as for oxy-fuel welding. I like an auto-darkening hood set to #9 for any sort of arc welding and turn it to #10-11 for TIG work, but that would be way too dark for dr... |

| It's a slippery slope, if AS automatically disqualifies someone from owning a firearm, what other rights can be stripped from us? I think I'm up to around 20 guns now, mostly handguns and a few semi-auto rifles and pump shotguns, and have had my carry permit for 7 years now without a single gun rela... |

I never kept track or anything, but to the best of my knowledge I've slept with around 20 women since starting at 18, for an average of 2 per... |

| I took a look at the models, and while there is some resemblance, I'd call all of them composites of contemporary firearms designs rather than being based specific models. The shotgun is the closest to resembling a real firearm, the Franchi SPAS12, but even it has some significant deviations from th... |
