What is new is that is it being reported. To listen to most of the Drive-By Media, you would think that all Iraqi's are backing the insurgents. Ah.. okay, I have to admit that my knowledge about news coverage in the USA is limited to "Don't watch Fox News!". There's been serious research on bias in...

Anyways, I talked to my dad again and he's loosened up a bit. So my question is, in case he lets me go but doesn't know where to take me, Do you know of any firing ranges in or near Raleigh, North Carolina? Good for your dad.......and as for where to shoot....."Ask and ye shall receive." PERSONAL D...

I think that flying during the night would be the easiest way to remain unseen. Yeah, but what happens when you want to put down (or HAVE TO put down in an emergency) in the middle of the night? You land? Even when you've got a big leak and you're going to land whether you like it or not, it *is* p...

Wel, I asked my Dad about firing ranges last night, and got the following points: -He's been to a firing range before, -He recommends that I don't get involved with guns, -Under no circumstances should I ever tell my mother about this, -He thinks she'll freak out due to my interest in video games, ...

Helium requires a uranium or thorium mine, and they don't have that (or they'd be using the metal as metal). Uranium or Thorium are low enough ratiation to be safe to be around (and yes, they probably WOULD know the dangers if they had samples), and have good enough mechanical and melting propertie...

Actually, Wikipedia's OODA loop is much, much quicker than Britannica. (snip) In theory, yes. But the actual error count reported in the Nature study shows them to be in fact merely comparable, as matters stood when the study was conducted. oooooookay, so how reliable is britanica, I've never used ...

Actually, Wikipedia's OODA loop is much, much quicker than Britannica. (snip) In theory, yes.

They ca...

I don't know how reliable Wikipedia really is Wikipedia is about as reliable as the Britannica, especially on scientific subjects. Actually, Wikipedia's OODA loop is much, much quicker than Britannica. It starts from a much lower base of accuracy and completeness but goes through generations so qui...

I'd never, ever, use Wiki for research...there is absloutely no trust in that site for not having every single fact on there compleately falisifed or even slanted by someone else instead of just reading a ton of books, which is also good weight training. My teachers are not even alloing any webpage...

But if it's just a way to tweak your parents, maybe it would be a better idea to find another way to do it. Guns are neither a toy, nor appropriate for intergenerational mind games. No offense, but how in the world did you come to the conclusion that this sudden interest in guns was for the sole pu...

Maybe because she's dead? It would settle things if there were a throwaway line remarking on her having no heirs. Normally, this sort of thing would be be covered by statutes of limitation but Ralph isn't having any of that here so why not search for heirs that had gotten rich off of the proceeds o...

Quentyn of Ridgedale had a daughter, his heir who took the land he got for his quest and sold it. Why, if the sales were not legitimate, isn't she (or her heirs) on the hook for the money the townspeople would have to pay to keep their land bought in good faith? Why is she (or her heirs) not pulled ...

Thanks for your feedback, gentlemen. I'll be sure to read up on this in my spare time. As for visiting firing ranges, I'm currently seventeen years old and won't be touching a firearms for quite some time. Besides, my parents have shown liberal tendencies and I'm not sure how to react if I ask them...

Hmmm... In the words of Cheif Wild Eagle . . . "It is... BALLOON !!!" Indeed, before the luftships work like airship, they was working like Hot air balloons. It will be fun but I think that Quentyn is not skilled enough to play the weathermage with the winds so he will be not able to decide his dir...

*steps off soapbox with slightly perplexed look* "Why does a 9 1/2 foot tall alien wolf need to stand on a soapbox???" :-? I just couldn't resist. "Why does a 9 1/2 foot tall alien wolf need to stand on a soapbox???" Why it would be to be seen above the rest of the 9 1/2 foot tall alien wolves. Why...

Yes, and Christmas is January 5 :P That's for the hard core Julian calender purists. A great many Orthodox use the Gregorian for the fixed feasts and the Julian for the moveable feasts, thus the moniker modified Julian. Christmas is a fixed feast. Easter is a movable feast. I care about this stuff ...

To all the brothers and sisters on Julian/modified Julian time. I wish you a glorious, happy Easter.

Christ is risen!

Yeshu is the correct pronounciation of Jesus. More like that's as close as you're going to get in english. As anybody who's visited a synagogue can tell you, there are sounds the human mouth, throat, and lungs can produce that has no real way to written properly in english. You can just get in the ...

Is it stated that the Seven Villages are short of metals? Critically short? Because THEN it would make sense your comments about the rings and beads being a 'hard' currency, their value being their value - like a silver or gold doller coin, with a dollers worth of silver or gold - its worth a dolle...
