I’ve been to a few different chiros. None of them has ever claimed any of the weird stuff. They help relieve specific types of back pain. They pop some stuff and help with back pain. The really good ones move things around and give you some stretches and exercises to do as well as things that help posture and sleep…

I had no idea that losers were using this as a secret sign until I read this article. It’s not an uncommon occurrence. I’m fairly moderate and have many right wing friends and family members (product of where I grew up), and I hear about this kind of stuff more from my furthest left leaning friends. The left learns…

Thanks for sharing.

Searching for Ezra is how they first encounter the yuuzhan vong in the new canon.

I’d watch that

That’s a fair description. The only one I remember was an Arya chapter where she was undercover as a courtesan (I think) and killed someone somehow tangentially related to some plot maybe. It obviously wasn’t very memorable.

And that’s fine. Let the old man enjoy his fame and money. 

30 years isn’t that old for a gun. I’ve shot some that were over 100 years old, one M1903 Springfield in particular that could still hit a bullseye at 200yds. That thing was a work of art.

Shotguns can be used for big game such as whitetail deer. The legality and restrictions (type of shotgun and ammo allowed) are state by state. How common it is varies a lot by what type of terrain you’re hunting in. If you will be within say 50-75 yards, then a 12ga with slugs is an ok choice. Rifles will tend to be…

The clip/magazine stuff is just pedants being pedantic. Calling an AR15 an assault rifle is either ignorance or a willful distortion in an attempt to trigger an emotional response(fear). I’d say one of these matters more than the other. There is something to be said about having a clue wtf you’re talking about. When…

You can take almost any old hunting rifle and replace the wooden stock with a black composite stock that has a pistol grip and those people will refer to it as an “assault weapon” or “AR15". Neither would be correct. Nothing about the functionality will have changed, it just looks scary now.

Correct. That’s why they use the term “assault weapons” which doesn’t have a strict definition and sounds just as scary.

I haven’t been to a gun show in a decade, but that was my experience. It’s basically a bunch of licensed dealers trying to make you think you’re getting a sweet deal while still charging full price. If there was any discount, they were getting money at the gate to make up for it. Maybe 15% of the booths were…

Someone else may have more up to date information on the topic (I’m not the gun nut i was in my youth), but: Ceramics and 3D printing can be used for many components, but generally you’re still going to need a metal barrel if you want to fire more than one or two rounds through the thing. When you fire a gun, you’re…

If the difference isn’t that great, then the smaller bullet would have some advantages when looking at military scale. More rounds per magazine and the ability to carry more rounds as you mentioned. Also, smaller amounts of raw materials needed might save a few cents per round, but that could be significant at the…

Thanks for pointing out that “Assault Weapon” is a mostly useless political term. It’s a scare word with no set definition. You could also add that it typically describes the aesthetics of a firearm rather than the functionality.

That’s not unreasonable if you don’t have any other commitments. That time period is the evening news through all the prime time network shows (at least in my time zone) watched by all the sedentary old people who would judge you for playing video games. It’s no different really.  

I was specifically responding to someone that questioned whether or not he has a job and said it would be difficult to do gaming every night. They sound young (or maybe just immature), I’m guessing 25-30. At that age you can still get by on 4-5 hours a night and sleeping late on the weekends.

Well played

Not so hot take: Civil War was a better Avengers movie than Avengers 2.
