@shortstories Sure as hell doesn't stand for tourniquet.

@mackya The solution to all these problems and more is men taking women's unearned rights away. Women are not equal to men and to pretend otherwise is to live in conflict with Nature.

@veff @Blouie I'm working on a farm and inviting all my disgruntled veteran buddies to come out and touch grass, grow grass, and smoke grass until either society comes to its senses or we end up like the Branch Davidians.

@waltercool I find it fascinating that the reptilians running the government are competent enough to get everyone singing out of the same hymnal, but too incompetent to hide that they are.

@WoodshopHandman @nugger A steel piston head would have a lot of mass that needs to slow down, stop, then accelerate again in the opposite direction every stroke. Less mass being flung around is more efficient and produces less forces on the rods. There's probably some small cooling improvement as well since aluminum is extremely heat conductive.

@BlinkRape I think I'm going through a western phase. That, or this is a sign I need to buy another wheelgun.

@TeaTootler Insurance needs to be reformed. Insurance is the only industry that can take your money and not legally be obligated to provide any service. I'm loath to say it, but the Muslims may be on to something banning usury.

@TeaTootler Some sort of IP protection is needed otherwise we'll end up like China where the only original invention is the knockoff. Our current system is broken and subverted but I'm doubtful that removing all IP protections will make things any better.

Who remembers when actors in TV shows actually showed people of virtue and civic sensibility? Been watching Gunsmoke and the Andy Griffith Show. It's a refreshing change of pace from the garbage on TV lately. They made those shows on much smaller budgets, too.

@Dan_Ramos At least they both saw something actually exciting happen. Lord knows the movie wasn't.
