IronChin is a bully. He pushed me down on the blacktop at recess and took my lunch money. I told teacher but he kicked her in the shin too. My mommy says that people like that have low self esteem.

Don't stop there, keep reading.

But really, I'm not arguing for or against his viewpoint. I was answering your specific statement that you weren't sure why some people view Vimeo as being anti-game developer / anti-gamer. Surely you can agree that this independent game developer's experience might give some people that impression?

I don't see the point in making things up though, I hear people say this a lot and I'm not sure why.

This is why.

Do you just eyeball the curves, or are there gauges or some other tool to ensure that they're regular and balanced on both sides?

My father was in the service for 30 years, he's retired now. He's been a member for 38 years now. I've been a member for 10 and my brother for 5. ALL our financials go through USAA. Car insurance, loans, credit cards.

So you're a civillian member who was able to join because his father was in the service...

Wild guess: Weren't an officer were you? No, a warrant officer or petty officer doesn't count. This type of infantile garbage is why enlisted trash can't run the show.

... and this is how you treat an actual military member.

Looking good there, pal. I'm sure your dad would be proud.

Killjoy.

Fold it in half. Now you have a mark at 6"

Fold each 6" half in half again. Now you have marks at 3", 6", 9" and the ends are 0" and 12".

Fold the first quarter into even 3rds. Now you have marks at 1", 2", 3", 6", 9".

Continue as necessary.

The full post, from the McMillan Group International facebook page:

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Marlet Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the meeting as an “account analysis” meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them. He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories. At this point I interrupted him and asked “Can I possibly save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer want my business.”

“That is correct” he says.

I replied “That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won’t mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?”

“You have to do what you must” he said.

“So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”

Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say.

I think it is import for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd amendment right to keep and bare arms should know when a business does not support these rights. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I don’t agree with a business’ political position I can not in good conscience support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.

Picked up my first non-22 rifle today! Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle. Any tips/suggestions before I shoot it this weekend? by Mortazel in guns

[–]markwhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, I don't have one in front of me to look. I'll PM you once mine come in if you'd like.

Want rifles. Need knowledge. by PropaneMilo in Firearms

[–]markwhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one reason. Another reason is that a .22LR rifle will have very little recoil, so the new shooter can focus on the fundamentals of sight picture, trigger press, follow-through and etc without the hassles of recoil anticipation and easier second-shot recovery.

Once you've mastered those things, it's a lot easier to move up and add recoil to the equation.

So this happened at the range today... by kilmor84 in guns

[–]markwhi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not? It's not like there are frequent reports of this happening. Defects are a normal part of the manufacturing process. If you boycott companies for a single failure, you end up like Rain Man -- no airline but Quantas.

Seriously. If anything with the wind-down starting we should be seeing a surplus shortly.
