But only because I own Lee-Enfields from those manufactures.
I'd say if you have another 10-15 years of life left in you, you will, no matter where you live.
I have heard that statement made many times over the last 30 years. It has yet to happen and I dont think it will.
The truth is that Bush Sr, GW Bush, and Obama are all the same. There is no difference between Dem. and Rep. It all boils down to money and power, nether gives a S**T about the people.
I only hope that some day enough people wake up and say F*** IT, then vote third party. I would love to see a three way tie or even a race between three parties that comes down to less than 1% difference.
I have worked for those companies. lol
27 page CAB form and full CAM meeting. Just to edit the
I still laugh about it to this day. A single character change and 27 pages of paperwork.
I have a 1923 German 8mm Mouser Sniper rifle. I paid $90 for it several years ago and at 100 yards with hand loaded matched ammo I can create a single 8mm hole in the target with the first round and put the next 5 rounds through the same hole. At 200 yards I keep a pattern under
Low cost accurate rifles are available.
the explicit purpose of guns is to harm others, in this case creatures inclusive. but how many hunters are there? and how many pistols? and how many assault rifles? you don't need 16 rounds to take down a deer, or a handgun. the explicit purpose of guns that aren't meant for hunting, is for harm, or the threat of harm.
You have never hunted HOG in Texas. Yes we use assault rifles with 30 round clips, we carry a pistol just in case and many of my friends will make sure they have a sharp bayonet on the rifles as well.
Why, because a 300lb HOG can and will kill you with out a second thought. They are dangerous and you go prepared. Sure there are some that go with nothing but a couple of dogs and a knife or with a single rifle. That is there choice.
BTW, we can hunt them with silencers, infra red scopes, at night from a helicopter as well.
Ok, I went to linux 20 years ago.
I am also in IT, I am a Linux systems engineer. (over 20 years at it, Solaris before that, Sun OS before that, SCO and ATT System 5 before all of it)
I use windows on my work desktop because someone else decided it was the correct solution.
I have listened to management for 20 years demand that "It should be a windows solution" when really the solution should be looked at and choices made based on the merits of the job at hand.
I don't hate Microsoft, I also do not believe that every answer should be to use a Microsoft product. If a tool is a tool then join me and give Linux a try, otherwise you are the one who is not "in the position to speak from knowledge on the subject"
I am so glad that I quit running windows. I converted to Linux when Windows 3.1 went to Windows 95 and have never regretted it.
This is so true! I worked at a company where I set up nagios with event handlers that would fix a lot of issues when they happened and when it could not fix it, the system would txt me to come fix it. Problems and downtime when to almost 0. It is amazing what happens when you have a system that can catch java leaks and restart the tomcat server.
When layoffs came around my boss called me in and told me that I was being laid off because there had not been a major issue in 6 months and they could not justify having more than one Unix admin on staff. As I was the highest paid admin I was the one being let go.
As to your "Finally:" I call BS. The last company I worked for read Gartner and really believed that one admin could manage 900 servers. They missed the part where it was 900 identically configured virtual machines. After they cut head to meet the numbers they could not figure out why we were working 80 hour weeks and people were quitting. Well when you expect one admin to run 900 unix systems that are on average 15 years old, have no underlying management system, and no unified authentication then you get what you deserve and you can holler "Gartner says" all you want to the empty room.
Strange I thought it was because health insurance is about as useful as tits on a boar.
Explain to me why I pay $12,000 a year for health insurance, then pay for everything up to the first $3,000 of care?
Explain to me why an office visit has a $50 copay, but if I skip the insurance and just pay the doctor with cash from my pocket it is $40 for the same office visit.
If I get in a car accident my car insurance pays for the medical
If I get injured at work, the companies workman's comp insurance pays for the medical.
If I get injured at home the home owners insurance pays for medical.
The only point they seem to cover is if I catch some rare terminal disease, then they will cover it tell the find a reason to drop me. So why should I pay for that privilege?
The constitution gives the government the privilege of collecting taxes via the 16th amendment
(People have rights, governments have privileges granted to them by the consent of the governed.)
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
And via Article 1 which states
“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and General Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”
So, tell me which of those two limited cases allows the government to collect a tax with the intent of returning it as a tax credit after you do what they tell you?
Well of course P is not equal to NP. That was proven with PiV where PiA and PiM may be an indication of P on P but in some instances indicates P on NP. Just goes to show that PiV is proof that P is not equal to NP. Especially where s is a sub of D.
Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
