Except for state laws-- usually california, no limits on ammo purchases. Purchase 5 million rounds if thats what you need for um, deer hunting. Nothing over 50 cal, but 50 cal is fine. Mount it on your pickup truck I guess. 50 cal ammo is 3 bucks per round for the cheap stuff so that adds up. Not a gun for the poors to own. You can own a tank if you want to also, but theres a lot of laws around making it street legal, depending on the tank’s weight.
Operating a tank is a paperwork nightmare, which is another reason why Americans are so cynical about their government.

I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.
- Comment on Putting the die in diet 4 days ago:
When is it “neccessary” to poach an egg instead of hard boil? I guess the 70s was a strange time. It was half a century ago and no one had computers or cell phones back then. I think people sat around and played monopoly.
One bottle a day per person. Boooo. Maybe get the double sized bottle then. The cheap ones they sell at the drugstore. And drinking water and coffee in the same meal, nice. Maybe mix them together.
OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?

So my wanting to punch nazis and genociders in the face makes me a nazi? Thats a cute theory. Id say people defending nazis and genociders – like you are doing here, are more likely to be nazis.

Is it though? we all claim to hate nazis (largely because of their genocide), but talk about halting a different genocide and suddenly the dems have all wandered off or are staring intently at their shoes.

Agreed. Same with genociders.

If you are going to delve into that, you could also try the book “Circe” by Madelleine Miller. Loved it.

A good glue job takes skill, its true. Well …ok. Sainthood.

He’s more sainty than most christian saints. St Benedicts “miracle”:
Book 2 of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory is about St. Benedict, and chapter 1 is titled “How he made a broken sieve whole and sound”:
It fell so out that his nurse borrowed of the neighbors a sieve to make clean wheat, which being left negligently on the table, by chance it was broken in two pieces, Whereupon she fell pitifully weeping, because she had borrowed it. The devout and religious youth Benedict, seeing his nurse so lamenting, moved with compassion, took away with him both the pieces of the sieve, and with tears fell to his prayers; and after he had done, rising up he found it so whole, that the place could not be seen where before it was broken.

So Benedict fixed a collander and earned sainthood for it. Clearly none of us is worthy to behold such holiness as that. You couldnt make this flaming garbage up if you tried.

I hadnt heard “murder gays”. Not sure that one is very dangerous sounding. Statistically speaking, dangerous gay people must exist, I just have never met one personally. Odd.

- Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL 1 month ago:
The site at the end of that URL will set a cookie. How else would such a mechanism be functional at all? A call to steams naviagtionTiming api confirming the last page load and nothing else at all? Hard to imagine a product manager agreeing to such a pointless exchange. So it cant be redirected to an ip, which I assume you mean is running its own webserver on loopback:443. It also implies the mechanism to verify allows cross site scripting, at least to that one other domain.

“millionaire” is not quite the same measure of impressive wealth that it used to be. A million dollars from 1974 is equivalent to 5.4 million today.

Seems like lately whenever theres an awful event in the US, mcdonalds is somehow mentioned. Its like pure evil emenates from the place.
They still do have the best fries though, I have to admit.

Netenyahu was the one arguing that rape on detainees as a tool of war should be allowed in the IDF. How far did he get on that, anyone know if it was made into law?
- Comment on US logic for protecting the political and economic elite has no bounds 1 month ago:
ok-- but If the US government disagreed wth the Israeli leadership we wouldnt be enabling and protecting them. So we dont get to have clean hands just because of jurisidction That Netenyahu pic should really be a picture of Biden standing next to netenyahu, because thats the reality of it, right.

I dont think they need an excuse, they just do whatever they want now. Thats what electing trump is all about, letting them run amuck unrestrained.

Probably overtime for all of them too. These “heroes” all have boats and RVs which arent going to pay for themselves.
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 1 month ago:
They sure do love taking and posting pictures of him and then yelling at people to not give him any press. How many pics have we seen of him in custody? They dont want coverage of him silenced, they want to control that narrative. US justice system is a sad broken dishonest state of affairs.

Its wildly overused though isnt it. Anyone can say almost anything and claim its political.

“Nothing will meaningfully improve” is a good translation of biden/harris’s “nothing will fundamentally change” promise.

Look, if Elon got run over by a Tesla, everyone would be laughing it off right now.
I think he should have demonstrated the use of that metal tube he wanted to use as a rescue sub to rescue those kids in the thai cave. Best way to demonstrate its safe is to go into it yourself.
Or he could use a pseudonym and work remote from one of the companies he owns and see how long he lasts as a worker. He thinks he can judge other peoples code? lets see his medicore bitchass show up and show us all how its done.
That guy sucks.
