Comment on Morena Baccarin by Gage Skidmore (2013-05-22 17:43:14)
She looks better as a brunette, which, incidentally, is what her name means.
Comment on Sinclair ZX81 (2013-05-04 14:13:58)
She looks familiar. I know I must have seen her somewhere during the 80's/90's... Does anyone know who she is?

That makes rather more sense :)

Tatooine, surely.

Title trolling not withstanding, you found something quite nice, there.

This move is called Telekinetic Faceslam. It begins with imposito manus, as to confuse your opponent by making him think you're giving him a blessing, then use the force to propel his head off your hands. Untrained observers might think he just smashed his face on the nearest... thing of his own volition, but you can always argue it was the parting deed of the demon you just exorcised off him.

I noticed that as well, but then I thought the US armed forces print a soldier's family name rather than his or her Christian name on issued uniforms, don't they?

Comment on With all the gun crazy shit going on, tell me your gun experiences (2013-03-23 18:56:53)
"First, nobody needs a folding stock unless they are trying to conceal a rifle, or need to keep a gun close to their body, perhaps as they move through a building. Second, nobody needs more than a few bullets in any gun unless they are a really bad shot." I will, for the sake of argument, agree with that, even if I don't see things as black and white. There's another point I'd rather make. Nobody needs a car that can go faster than the speed limit, but that doesn't stop people from buying expensive sports cars, which is legal. Nobody needs a 50'' flatscreen TV, but some of us who are fortunate enough to be able to afford one have one (or more), which is legal. Nobody needs a perfectly tended lawn, but some neighbourhoods demand that every homeowner keep one, and even that is legal. And you think it should be illegal to have 7, 10, 20 or 30 rounds loaded in your weapon just because it's unnecessary?

I'm sure they meant "handegg"...

Ah, yes, the MiG-25 (or possibly 31, they were all but identical from that angle) that had America shivering in its bones until some pilot defected with his jet, that turned out to be made of steel (whereas American manufacturers were experimenting with titanium, aluminium and composite materials) and equipped with electronics only one step up from Pascal's mechanical calculator... Still, it could fly at Mach 3 and look cool at the same time.

I was brought up with a very anti-weapons mentality first and foremost. As a child, I wasn't allowed toy guns (a single exception in the mid 90's was coerced out of my mother at the expense of several days worth of childly tears. It merited me a cap pistol that broke after one day of playing). I still failed to regard weapons as intrinsically bad. In all fairness, my mother dating a gentleman who shot clay pigeons for sport didn't help. It wasn't until December 2011 that I fired an actual gun (25 gauge shotgun, I think). It was at a friend's estate (he too likes to shoot clay pigeons on occasion). He gave me some gun safety rules, many of which I already knew about, and the day went without incident. However, bear this in mind: because I never took to my mother's fundamentally anti-gun policy, I took to the gun safety rules relatively easily. Another friend of mine who was shooting for the first time that day too took much longer to assimilate the same rules, and even when she had them down, she still chose not to respect some of them (namely, open your breech when you're not ready to shoot, even if you have no ammunition loaded) because "if you have no ammunition, then you can't do any damage anyway, so there's no point" (I disagree). I still don't own a gun and I don't plan to acquire one, but having seen responsible gun owners carry and use their guns safely, I can't really adopt an anti-gun posture; I can only urge gun owners to mind their own safety and that of others where their weapons are concerned (I understand most of them do already, which is nice). Up until now, I didn't know the meaning of the phrase "assault rifle" was under contention. I always thought that a rifle was any firearm with a rifled barrel (as opposed to a carabine, which has a smooth barrel), and that an assault rifle was any rifle that could be made to fire repeatedly with a single pull of the trigger. Personally, I can't think of a reason for a private citizen to own one such weapon, but I think it would be an infringement of one's civil liberties to outright disallow possession of such weapons. That said, I would have to be in favour of heavy control over private ownership of assault rifles (as I have defined them, in case that's not the correct definition of an assault rifle). Most importantly, I can see by the comments of gun owners here that even though they own and carry firearms, they aren't the violent gunslingers that some anti-gun activists would have me believe that they are. So, long story short, I think it is in everyone's best interest that an organ of government keep track of which weapons are owned by civilians, but also that civilians should be allowed their guns, whether they're hunting rifles, shotguns, handguns or multi-barrel rotary machine guns, so long as they're responsible adults who wouldn't use them with ill intent.

I can only make out the word "comrades" and "robots"; could someone please translate the remainder of the poster.
