Measure by weight instead of volume for cooking ingredients and you'll avoid the confusion. The volume between the two different sized crystals doesn't change, but the weight certainly does, up to double the weight of table salt can fit into a given volume compared to kosher salt

It DOESN'T affect mainly women. Sure, there are probably more women that drive kids to/from school/sports practice/games/friends houses/shopping. Men if applied to those same family units, would be going to/from work at those times, and if they are fatigued from working overtime, or taking care of the kids in their…

We have them (everywhere it seems, here in Texas) but I don't actually use them. I don't own any guns, although I do hold a heavy interest in them, and while i was in the military I used them a lot. It seems every time I have the desire and money to go buy a gun (I want a nice one), I end up building a new PC or…

You fail to recognize the capacity for firearms to be used for (responsible) entertainment (hunting, range time) and competition. Killing is NOT the only purpose of a gun. Go ahead and try to find the stats on how many murders have ever been committed with competition guns, you'll find that fists or hand tools are…

Ah, well, the legal AK-47s you can find in nearly any gun store in the US are all semi-automaic, as are all legal AR-15s (quick illegal fix to make it fully automatic, but that's a felony)

That's like saying the proper use of an automobile is to convert fossil fuels into energy. That's HOW they achieve the goal, just as the stated goal of self defense is achieved by either the display of or use of a gun (not saying that one should brandish a weapon in any circumstance, just pointing out the logical…

Back in the day, I played a lot of UT. If I recall correctly, in that game, if you killed someone, you got 1 point, if they killed you they got 1 point. If you suicided, you lost one point, but they didn't gain anything. If we were going for all-out domination and wanted to leave our opponents with as many big fat…

Hmm, odd. They don't use ice storm on me until I get to a fairly high level (mid 30's). Must be a bug that I haven't met the factors for yet, but it sure sounds annoying. At lower levels, they do their Emperor Palpatine impersonation on me

Pet peeve of mine. Clip != Magazine. Clips have no moving parts, and were used in earlier semi automatic firearms like the M1 Garand. They were basically metal clips that held the rounds together and the feed mechanism in the rifle pulled the clip up as each bullet was expended. Magazines are generally…

If Canadian gun laws are anythign like US gun laws, that AK-47 is semi-automatic, not fully automatic. The AR-15 as well. Not to mention, besides the background check to obtain the tax stamp necessary to own an automatic weapon in the US, you have to actually be approved for the tax stamp itself, which in practice…

Other than dealers and collectors, neither of which have had any prominence in crimes overall, beause they generally don't want to risk what they've worked so hard for, civilians DON'T own automatic weapons. This is, of course, not counting people who have illegally modified weapons to become full auto or bought…

That's something regulated at the state level, not at the federal level. For example, in the state of Texas, there is no minimum age, although below 18 for a long-gun or 21 for a pistol and you have to be acompanied by your parent/legal guardian, who is held accountable for your safety and actions while at the range.…

I haven't seen the issue of enemies not OOM'ing in combat on either xbox or PC. It is kind of -idk, clunky?- having to dodge around like I'm playing some sort of FPS in order to run them OOM so I can get up in their faces to stab or sit still long enough to hit them with untalented arrows. I've not tried leveling…

Whenever I remember to. I just built this box in the last month, and it doesn't sleep quite correctly ever since I overclocked it, so I shut it down when I don't plan on using it and don't have any plans for updates. I do usually leave it up once a week to do updates that are scheduled to run every Tuesday afternoon…

It's a sadface, then a period to finish the sentence, then a closing parenthesis to finish the parenthetical statement that started with "(htpc" although the period should probably be outside the parenthesis, but then the emoticon would look weird

I suggest you let the world know about your definition of massively and correct all of us who are wrong in not assigning it a specifc value

What is Caucasian skin? Like a light tone? Lots of people of Asian descent have a broad range of skin tones, so I feel I'm missing something

The title of the link that brought me here was "Is the 40 hour work week obsolete", which I had something to say about, but the article is about telecommuting. I work what's known as a compressed workweek, which is freaking awesome. I work nights Sun-Tues and every other week I work Saturday night, 12 hours a shift.…

The 'Massively' part of the term is simply stating that a large number of people can play. Compare to the older multiplayer games where you were limited to 4 players, or even 2. There is no connotation that denotes that massively has to mean hundreds or thousands of players. Even modern MMORPGs like WoW lag…

So, it's kind of like dating a stripper only she generally doesn't get paid for cosplaying, she just does it because she enjoys it all the while, she pretends your relationship doesn't exist when you're not with her?
