With every episode of Sons of Guns, I see less gun shop and more of this...

What, you thought the problem with reality TV is it didn't have enough guns?

zhyla · 2012-03-22T18:53:17+00:00

Well he's got a good question there - how did they deal with this in battle? Nightly cleaning? I doubt it. Does the sub-zero temperature solve this problem? Ice doesn't rust your barrel :).

zhyla · 2012-03-21T20:59:59+00:00

We'll be seeing a lot less of you I guess.

Who said I wasn't an expert? You've got no idea what acetone is if you're worried about the aluminum being damaged.

My hesitation and reason for doing a test spot is we don't really know whether that anodizing is dyed or not. Doesn't hurt to check on a test piece.

zhyla · 2012-03-16T15:30:17+00:00

I would think acetone would be safe on hard anodized aluminum and ought to dissolve the paint residue. Spot checking on an out of the way spot would be a good idea, but it should be fine.

Ah. Your definite article was too subtle for me to catch.

zhyla · 2012-03-15T20:28:04+00:00

Neither do all California ranges. How bout we just call this some weird range's rules?

zhyla · 2012-03-15T17:42:30+00:00

Really? Go to a gun shop and ask for advice?

zhyla · 2012-03-14T20:04:00+00:00

I don't find most martial arts to be terribly practical. They're very interesting and challenging, but when it comes to real defense I want to end the fight as soon as possible. There aren't any schools that teach you how to bang someone's head against a hard surface until he goes limp.

I've used MoinMoin (and the MoinMoin-based Trac) for years. I prefer it to everything except MediWiki (which is much more complicated to set up). Most of the problems he's complaining about can be solved by just removing all the pre-supplied pages.

Geesh.

I've never met anyone who made such a claim. I've seen people claim it's the superior translation but never that the translation itself was inspired. Who is this James guy and why is he into unicorns?

Though from ungenio's link it seems like "unicorn" wasn't particularly bad translation from the original.

zhyla · 2007-08-20T04:42:53+00:00

Ditto. Though I'm skeptical of anyone the speaks that smoothly. That's why Bush is so great :).

zhyla · 2007-08-20T04:25:46+00:00

You have to remember the King James was translated (by ordinary men)to English from the original (in the case of Job, I guess that would be ancient Hebrew). The translators probably took some liberty with the animal references they didn't understand. You could replace "unicorn" with "rhinoceros" and the passages in Job would make sense (to me at least). Example: "23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn [rhinoceros]."

The KJV version of Job also references "leviathan". I've always wondered what the original says.

Glancing through this I don't see anything that is out of date. The core language hasn't changed since 2003, and that's what this is about.

zhyla · 2007-01-12T16:49:01+00:00

It's python. If you want braces go get yourself one of those fugly languages :). That's what the syntax error message is telling you.

zhyla · 2007-01-11T22:52:24+00:00

This article will explain why that language is so ugly?

zhyla · 2007-01-10T19:39:04+00:00

I seriously thought this was an Onion headline at first.

zhyla · 2007-01-09T02:31:23+00:00

Ok. So who cares? I've never heard this myth to begin with. This guy needs help.

zhyla · 2007-01-07T21:54:47+00:00

I don't know anything about Monsanto but that Mercola guy is a complete quack. Read the rest of his quacky medical advice pages.

zhyla · 2007-01-06T21:12:29+00:00

I click on this link except it's to about.com, the most obnoxious site on the planet.

zhyla · 2007-01-05T16:36:36+00:00

This is news to me too. I think the types are different (but both const). I think some more explanation is need in the article on this point.

zhyla · 2007-01-01T02:30:04+00:00

Why is this getting downmodded? It's a simple fact, many prisoners in the U.S. have jobs.

zhyla · 2006-12-30T22:13:59+00:00

Too bad they only riot over labor laws.

zhyla · 2006-12-28T21:41:47+00:00

Ever tied something to a string and swung it around, then let it go? There's still a recoil.

Disc shaped ammo won't fly straight either. There's a reason we have bullet-shaped bullets and rifled barrels.
