See the Turtle! Ain’t he keen!

We used to say that peeling your beer label was a sign of sexual frustration. Hmmmm…

Solid explanation. I’d only add that I see the word in fiction used to describe Europeans and Americans as expats if they’ve been overseas for years and not even working. Seems to be people who eventually mean to return home.

Can we get The Black Sun while we’re at it?

Look here dude, we still doing “no nut November” or what?! Why must you tempt me?!

It’s called “growing up”.

Uh, no:

“The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.”

Got this one. Only one on the market I know of.

Same bolt came in my Han Solo pistol.

It’s worked surprisingly well in the past, but I just put a heavy (H3) weight in to reduce recoil, probably won’t cycle .22LR any longer. And BTW, that heavy weight is a dream! My wife’s friend brought his stock AR to our camp and I was shocked how much harder it kicked.

Yep, that’s mostly what I meant. It’s a meaningless adjective but since the source is a Christian outfit, they had to shoe horn it in.

faith-based film

Hell does that even mean?! And of course they have to point out that he’s an actor and a Christian.

The whole article doesn’t amount to a paragraph and lemmy acting like it’s Xtian propaganda.

It’s damned hard for a shotgun to end up useless. I restore old shotguns, have one from most decades starting in the 1890s. No matter how beat they were when they showed up, they worked just fine.

It’s about a military chaplain. That’s it. Look at the source. The headline is pure spin.

I have an easily swapable bolt that let’s my AR-15 shoot .22LR. Pretty nifty, though not quite as accurate since the bullet is .003 thinner.

This gets me smiling.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can’t go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can’t jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

If you’re American, you should pull the ejection seat lever.

Until very recently, Dubai was a desert wasteland with a few Bedouin roaming about. I’m not sure what I would expect for history or tradition.

The other books are far more plot and character focused, less exacting military stuff. If you like RSR, you might like the following books even more. It’s an outlier, but not too far, from his other books.

Is the question time sensitive?

Fahrenheit 451 was fascinating for the sub-story about the TV walls and, “Oh look! The White Clown is on!”

Best friend held an acid party back in 1991 or so. From where we stood we could see all 3 TVs, 3 different sizes. He said, “Check it out. The attention people pay to the screen is directly proportional to it’s size.” Didn’t matter was was on screen, the larger it was, the more people stared, the less they talked. That’s really stuck with me.

And the parasocial relationships with the people are the screen foretold much.

Can’t imagine many would care about book burning today. I only know one other person that reads books, and few even “read” the internet.
