And, if you have the proper credentials and paperwork and taxes paid, one can own damn near anything, I'm specifically referring to firearms that the average joe can own with the basic background check at commercial purchase.

Yeah, but non sporting weapons over .50 cal have issues with rifling, IIRC. 12ga. with rifled barrel is way over .50" cal. But it gets a sporting purposes exemption. The rules are tricky.

I believe you'll find that they are chambered in .45 long colt, with a rifled barrel. A .410 just happens to drop right in and function.

There are some weird exceptions to the smoothbore rule, I'm an not an expert.

Start driving wooden stakes through their hearts? Or maybe the zombie approach, shots to the head?

By the time you get 1/3 of the population involved, there is bound to be a plateau of some sort, corruption, insider information trading, etc.

Which makes me wonder, when someone with access to the information is able to exploit in for personal gain will come back to bite us in the ass. It's a matter of when, not if.

I dim my lights with a Variac, you insensitive clod!

(I'll have to make my own custom solution)

Nice links. They need an omnidirectional treadmill on a Stewart platform, then you can simulate grades. maybe accommodate jumping and rolling.

The same people and companies were involved, but there was separation as I understood it between the black side stuff and the civilian stuff. My father made a comment to the effect of, the classified stuff is better than the civilian stuff, gyroscope wise. Star trackers and such are probably not much different.

Dammit. now I'm gonna need more HD storage. Thanks?

Is with the towing trailer set. Or the pickup truck set. Try backing up a grade with a loaded pickup or with a trailer with a stick vs an automatic. The torque converter is a beautiful piece of engineering.

With a stick, you'll burn the clutch trying to creep with it. With an auto, you get inching capability.

In my automobile, I prefer a stick for reliability and control. I think autos have become more reliable than sticks today however.

My father worked at NASA for 30 years. He was involved in guidance and navigation. Worked on the IU on the Saturn V.

In the '90s, he told me the only thing classified at NASA was the vehicle destruct system details. Don't want someone intentionally blowing up a manned rocket on its proper course. He said that they were denied access to classified gyroscope materials from the spy satellite and ICBM world. Other secrets may have fallen under "trade secret" status as NASA contracted the building of most things.

However, just the other day I downloaded information about the F-1 rocket engine. At one time the documents I downloaded were classified. I guess they didn't want the Soviets to learn more about our tech.

Then the DART mission occurred. Within the report, there was information that might make it easier for bad actors (terrorists/states) to use GPS navigation for munitions. That information is restricted as is some more recent information.

Ms. Hilton is neither super model or porn star. To use a car analogy, I'd say she's a Honda popular and reliable (in her own way), but I hate to insult Honda in that way. A Saturn would be more appropriate. Comes from big money, cheap and plastic. Poseur.

Yeah, burying waste and information will never, ever come back to haunt them.

It is an environmental time bomb. And there is plenty of blame to be spread around.

You had me at "servile sex kitten harems". I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
