I have built a few actually! Got the vice and all. The spring that loads the buffer, or "pin" as you call it, isnt crazy strong. A 3d print (and your shoulder) could easily take that load. Regardless, the gas tube actually goes about .75" inside the bolt carrier key. This means that, by the time hot gasses are moving…

The lower receiver of an AR doesnt take pressure unless there is a 'kaboom' aka failure in the barrel/upper/gas system. At that point, the gas ejects the magazine downward (breaking the catch or, in the case of a 3d printed model, that whole surface) and the mostly follows.

Nope nope nope nope nope

...and anything other than "literally."

Flash was excellent software for its purpose and time. Before the widespread use (and reliable support) of Javascript and CSS (with actual "standards" support being relatively recent, mind you), Flash was really the only way to develop a rich interactive experience on the web that would work for nearly everyone. To…

Oh no shit! Too cool!

I wish I knew Venezuelan actors but I dont... That said, I feel pointing to the USA on a map is comparable to picking Arnold Schwarzenegger out of a line-up. I pick this analogy because, if you know who I am talking about, it further illustrates either the global presence of America (both good and bad) or your great…

Youre missing the point. Something with a title of "country" doesnt necessarily have the same presence as something else with the same title. Russia and Tonga, for example, or Australia and Fiji, do not exist in the same scope. I hope youre sharp enough to be able to figure that out.

I do that for quick casual notes. Something more lengthy without some kind of closing always strikes me as incomplete or rushed.

I use cheers frequently. Im open to alternatives but its about as informal/light as 'thanks' without seeming sloppy or requiring there be something to be thankful for.

Matters on a global scale, while technically ignorance, arent unique to any one country or culture. Its a matter of relative significance and scope. Dont get me wrong... Many Americans are both uninformed and even less interested in doing something about it but you can only fault them for things they *should* know...…

Yeah being familiar with the service, I knew exactly what he was on about. However, if the second paragraph had come before the first, or was not separated, I believe clarification would not have been necessary. :)

The author could stand to connect his thoughts a bit better... Its not 50,000 songs available in their catalog... Its 50,000 songs you can upload/add to your library *in addition* to the millions (30+) of tracks already available for streaming/download. Regardless of whether you buy music from iTunes or Amazon, rip…

So if steel is annealed between 500-1500 degrees fahrenheit, and a Bic lighter's flame is around 2500-3500 degrees fahrenheit, is it feasible for a crook to heat up the ground area (with said lighter) to reduce/eliminate the chances of NIST recovering the number?

IMHO its the need to not plug it in. Its certainly not necessary but boy is it convenient for the late night text message... Just pick up the phone and do what you need (without limitations of cord length) and then plop it back down. That said, it seems like theres a lot they could do to improve the mats like making…

How did you install Android on your iPhone?!?!

Lifehack: Actually program your programmable thermostat. BRILLIANT

At least a portion of it, from developers I work with frequently, has to do with Macs UNIX base. Something about servers, discombulators, debugging, etc.

I had a crazy dude from Lebanon. He was like "hey bro what do you want to listen to?" and I told him I was tired and had no preference. Surprise me!

I like it when its limited... Pulling tracking numbers from email, flight info, car parking, etc. I dont want to see notifications from apps. I have no apps that have anything I may want to know 'now' hah
