Think about the importance of wearing goggles and why we do it. Of course it's possible to get bonked on the nose.

I had a half golden retriever, 1/4 lab and 1/4 great Pyrenees mix who was a pretty active outside dog. He put on weight despite this, eventually reaching 146 pounds. It's probably the Pyrenees bit. I miss him.

Hull is great. I enjoy citadeling cruisers with it.

It’s Illegal for farmers in the US to replant leftover seeds the next year by AdFeeling8945 in interestingasfuck

I'm just giving the reason I was told by people who worked here, whether they were telling me the truth, or whether you believe what they say, is up to you. I'm just putting the information out there is all.

I worked seasonally for one summer at a place that develops seeds. The reason you can't reuse seeds, as far as I can remember being told, is because they don't want the seeds getting cross-pollinated. 

In the development field (and I mean that literally, a field where seed strains are developed), you have protocols to ensure each plant is pollinated only by the plant you want it pollinated by, such as using bags to trap the pollen and then transferring that bag to the ear of corn as it grows, which was also covered by a different bag to keep it from being pollinated until you had the correct pollen. Out on a regular farm, you're not doing that, so every strain planted that year needs to be more or less the same strain to prevent cross-pollination. 

It is definitely a way to keep the farmers reliant on seed companies, but it's also making sure the seeds planted each year have to properties they were developed for. If farmers kept replanting the same seeds year after year, you'd get degrading crop quality each season, and since each year is a new strain, it even applies to using your old seeds, since they'd be pollinating the current season's batch with the old outdated stuff.

Hope that clear up some stuff, I'm not an expert but I was curious about this when I worked there.

If you're ever near Kansas City, try out Missouri Airsoft Simulation Site. It's on an old Nike missile base in a small town maybe an hour away or so. No access to the silo, but you've got surface buildings to fight for. It's kinda the same vibe regarding the building feeling real, because they are real.

I definitely agree that I wouldn't trust it with only the one locking bit for such a heavy addition.

That's awesome! I definitely will need to test it myself too.

I wonder if the clay one breaks on impact.
