I kind of am too.
Re: Tijuana
I've avoided going back to Mexico, just to be on the safe side.
Re: dooo eeettt doooo eeeet NAO!!!!!
We're pretty much defunct as a couple at this point. This is just to say goodbye.
Re: My best friend took a weeks vacation to forget her
Thinking about going to visit Trilobite Girl. It's been a few months.
Re: You awaken in a dark room.
Get eaten by a grue, in all likelihood.
Re: I'm going to go out on a limb here
Quite.
Re: Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
False premise. Facts lead to publication credits, which lead to more research funding.
Re: Lithium Ion Alliance Regime(LIAR)
I see.
And you think that the rate of change is normal? You think that this particular trend isn't at all "out of place" given the known cooling and warming patterns of the Quaternary period? You think that the rise in atmospheric CO2 (which is known to be an efficient absorber of IR radiation) and albedo changes brought from mass clearance of woodlands is in no way contributing?
Re: Sausage wrap
Uh huh.
My approach was to go down to the local drug store, get one of those shopping baskets, load it up with several boxes, bring them up to the young lady at the till, and then, in reply to her bemused expression, explain stoically and seriously, "It's for a science experiment."
Re: Sausage wrap
Then order them online?
Re: Biggest Fears
Normalcy.

I remember the latter but not the former.

Re: RELATIONSHIPS
That's kind of effed up.
Re: thanks guys
You'd be surprised. When I was down in Utah, I encountered folks who were debating to bring their ".45" on a hike, in case they encountered snakes. Apparently this is not a unique thing...
Re: thanks guys
Oh. And if he says he needs a gun for snakes, slap him, call him a sissy, and tell him to just leave the snake alone, hit it with a big stick or a garden rake.
Re: This
Plus, under stress conditions, it's a hell of a lot easier for a less experienced shooter to aim a long gun than a sidearm.
Re: good for you!
What does he think he has to protect himself from while camping?
My idea of a camp protection gun is more of a pump-action 12G...
Re: New Gun
M&P aren't bad at all. If I were to go for anything remotely Glocky, that would probably be it.
Re: Hey Webb
It's serious voodoo, period. But it takes a map head to really unlock its potential.
It looks like we'll be working around Eberswalde Crater, reconstructing the fluvial history of the region.

Yep.
>> likes their boss?
Absolutely.
Re: Tell me what's wrong with society
Indeed.
But, most can do more than simply be ornamental.
Re: Tell me what's wrong with society
And, there is something wrong with the tendency to crush the interest in the sciences at an early age and overwriting it with the expectation of being a princess.
Re: Bought a CZ 712
I stand corrected. The CZ 550s are available in .308. Given the other chamberings, you're not going to have any barrel pressure issues.
Re: Bought a CZ 712
Yeah, I'm not sure I've run across a CZ in .308. But, they do .30-06 and also magnum rifle calibers. The latter are particularly respected in big game hunting.
Re: Tell me what's wrong with society
That depends greatly upon what sort of princess.
Re: Bought a CZ 712
Considering a CZ 527 Carbine. Oh, and a CZ 75 SP01 Shadow, for IPSC stuff, of course.
Re: If I were independantly wealthy
I'm wearing a stylish hat and khakis. :paranoid:
Re: Tell me what's wrong with society
In the time and place when I grew up, there were a lot of messages applied, often coupled to the educational experience (and not strictly by one's peers) which marginalized that sort of thing. In some ways, the situation is improving, because there's the realization (driven by hard lessons and an overturn of the economy) that one has to do something with one's head to have any economic potential.
But, there's still a lot of attitudes out there that girls ...
Re: Bought a CZ 712
CZ tends towards rather high value for what you pay for them.
Re: Tell me what's wrong with society
I know a woman whose four year old daughter has shown a persistent (which is to say, since she could walk) interest in examining soil samples under a microscope. When this friend asked if I had any samples I could share, my immediate thought was, "Hell yes. I have to encourage this." Sent a box of jars of different sediments, pictures of where I collected them from, and a sediment column illustrating how they were arranged, and a few ...
Re: Hey Webb
I actually like GIS work. Even the simple stuff like classifying remote sensing data. I think the reason why it bores a lot of folks who aren't map heads is that it's obtuse, so they never unlock the serious voodoo.
Speaking of which, next semester, I'm going to be mapping a bit of Mars.
Re: Hey Webb
I don't really know. Academia is a freaking struggle. I suspect I'm going to have to fall back on doing GIS work either in the government or private sectors, honestly.
Re: When I grow up {Poll}
Approximately what I'm doing right now.
Re: Largest known dwarf planet?
Nope.
There's some uncertainty as to the diameter of Eris. At the small end, it's roughly the same diameter as Pluto. But, its mass is significantly more.
Re: What NOT to name Savage and Can babe
If I reproduce, I might do so myself. Granted, I expect to get looked at like this /;| by my significant other...
Re: What NOT to name Savage and Can babe
Eris, after the goddess of discord... and the largest known dwarf planet.
Re: Ammunition Laws
I just bought a couple of 2,100 round cans in late February.
Re: A list of RPGs that I think are worse than D&D...
2) Anything by Palladium.
Re: Ammunition Laws
Can't ship ammunition, powder, or primers via the mail. It has to go via a courier able to handle dangerous goods like UPS.
Note that looking at the shelves where I am, you'd never know there was a scarcity of .22 LR. :D
