One thing I don't get about AR-15s: Why is there such a demand for 16" barrels, and so little for 18 and 20" barrels? The length difference seems pretty minimal to me, and I kind of get the impression that the 20" barrels may be a bit more reliable than shorter ones, at least with less-than-stellar ammo.
I get the use of a shorter barrel for indoor defense work, but it seems like the longer barrel has the edge in every other way...

The Chicago media is in complete cahoots with the power structure. A couple of years ago when black gangs were attacking people on Oak Street beach, the media actually said people were taken to the hospital because of the heat. People were calling local talk radio stations to call out their lies then they changed it to gangs of "youths" getting a little out of hand

I have a question for you. My son's Latin teacher who seems like a very nice guy from the e-mails he's sent and what he writes about his his class, is Jewish. The only reason i know that is that son reported he was wearing a yarmulke. I would like to send him an e-card for yom Kippur ,but to me some of the cards seems a little odd. On the holiest and most solemn day in the Jewish Year is it appropriate to say "Happy Yom Kippur"? Some e-cards say that.. For Christians, out most holy day is "Good Friday" but even then we don't really say "Happy Good Friday". Would "May you have a blessed Yom Kippur be better. Your advice would be appreciated.

He's famous today for three roles: as Field Marshal Rommel in Five Graves to Cairo,* prison commander Captain von Rauffenstein in La Grande Illusion and general factotum Max von Mayerling in Sunset Boulevard.**
As a director, von Stroheim was noted for his exactitude and for shooting immense amounts of footage in order to achieve the realism he struggled for; in 1925s The Merry Widow, he insisted that palace guards wear a precisely monogrammed set of underwear, despite the fact that the clothes would never be seen on screen.
Widow was also the film responsible for one of the few jokes known to have been uttered by Irving Thalberg, head of production at MGM. After viewing a rough cut of the film, Thalberg asked why the camera lingered so long on the character of Baron Sadoja, seeneying the vast shoe closet of star Mae Murray.
"Because he has a foot fetish," von Stroheim answered.
"And you have a footage fetish," Thalberg returned.
Here's Murray in Widow:

And here's von Stroheim in a publicity still for Sunset Boulevard:

I'd like to trade places with Stroheim snuggling up to Vera Zorina in this still from 1940s I Was An Adventuress:

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
*in which he insisted that, despite the fact he wouldn't be shooting any pictures, his prop camera be fully loaded with film, just as Rommel's was.
**a role he angrily dismissed as "that goddamn butler part."

While at a "locally sourced" restaurant in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago, a nearby table of young hipsters wondered out loud about the strange new food on the menu - rutabaga.
Who can blame them for not knowing what it was? It was served ala carte as a shareable side mashed with butter and a little nutmeg.
We recommended they pair it with an Argentinian Malbec.

Love quinoa, but I remember when it started to become really popular, there was concern that its popularity had driven the price up to the point where the poor people in the countries where it was grown could no longer afford it. This was problematic because it was a staple of the local diet.
I imagine the market has remedied this, but I still think about it.

When the Pope held those giant masses in Havana, there weren't enough
Catholic liturgy books to go around. Not hard to believe, in a country
that's been officially godless for over 50 years.
So they had to put out a call for books from all over the Spanish speaking world.
It was a regular Cuban Missal Crisis.

One thing I don't get about AR-15s: Why is there such a demand for 16" barrels, and so little for 18 and 20" barrels? The length difference seems pretty minimal to me, and I kind of get the impression that the 20" barrels may be a bit more reliable than shorter ones, at least with less-than-stellar ammo.
I get the use of a shorter barrel for indoor defense work, but it seems like the longer barrel has the edge in every other way...
Posted by: Grey Fox at September 22, 2015 07:43 AM (bZ7mE)
People like the shorter barrel for ease of handling and packing and storage. The 18" and 20" barrel will give better accuracy over long distances but only for a skilled shooter at longer ranges. The 16"barrel is also cheaper to make so keeps costs slightly down. Solution is get one of each, shoot them and see which one you like best!

I figured the ability to replicate whatever you wanted also likely involved the technology to replicate robots to do whatever couldn't be replicated. So basically, people had nothing to do but work or take up hobbies to stave off boredom.
Economics is basically how people deal with scarcity. If technology obliterated scarcity that completely, society as we know it pretty much goes out the window.
It's also utopian nonsense. It'd be like Welfareland Everywhere if it happened in reality. Lots of drugs. Lots of illegal phaserings. Youth gangs. The works. Idle hands are the devil's playthings and people never change.

The tricky bit about Startrekonomics is even if there are Replicators, there are still things that are in limited supply: a corner apartment with a nice view; access to recreational facilities; and so forth. Who decides who gets to live in the penthouse and who has to live out back by the dumpster?
For that matter; who does the sh-t work in a world where everything is provided? Who waits tables and cleans the terlets? You don't see a whole lotta robots in the Trekverse.

When I write scifi, I try very hard to get the economics right. In Book 10 of my series, I wrote about a culture that had, essentially, a replicator-based economy. It was technologically stagnant, since there was no need to innovate. The society was essential feudal, since the replicators were controlled by a handful of powerful families. But there was a lot of art and entertainment.

I'm just curious and it's none of my business, of course, but you mentioned it and I'm interested. If you felt drawn to the RCC, I guessing it might be in part because of their doctrine and appreciation of the real presence of m Jesus in the Eucharist? or other doctrinal stands. The theological basis of the church has been true since the founding of the church, and of course the doctrine on marriage stays the same as do things related to the sanctity of life. Why-with a Pope-who won't be Pope forever and is is not speaking ex cathedra on global warming or other political issues why wouldn't you join the church to be nourished by the the things that bring you closer to Jesus and let the other stuff go? I mean ,there have been some very bad Popes and the church has still stood. That's because they stand upon the rock of Jesus Christ, which all faithful Christians do, IMO.

"Dear Dr Science, what religion was converted rice before it became converted?"
"Dear Timmy,
Converted rice is a vile misnomer and an unspeakable lie. Far from being religious, rice is in fact the most atheistic and anti religious starch possible.
Rice is potato without a soul, a veritable carbohydrate vampire, needing even salt, soy sauce, or cream of chicken soup to give it a flavor.
Even having it in your pantry is putting your immortal soul in peril."

I don't think it's analogous, although granted people feel strongly about Popes. The core of the RCC as I understand it is the faith passed down by the Apostles and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. If those change it will cease to be the RCC but he hasn't and he won't change those. Something that has changed in a number of Protestant churches is the view on homosexuality and gay marriage. Even if Pope Francis believed in that-and there's s no indication he does-he can't just change teaching willy nilly. He might have a pen and phone but he hasn't used them as Obama does.

Reminds me of that case a few years back, when there was a media frenzy over a little boy who was supposed to have been stuck in an out-of-control balloon. Later turned out it was a con job by the parents, who had hidden the kid and told him to lie. But the poor kid was not as naturally dishonest as his parents, and he couldn't keep up the deception.

Maybe if a person were a conservative and a non practicing Muslim-yes,. but as far I can tell Obama is a non practicing Muslim who only believes in himself as god and his Presidency has been a disaster.

Lost my cousin Sherry some weeks back. Milady's cousin Pat suddenly died from leukemia more recently. Our generation is hitting the wall, although really none of them was that old. (Of course, I go by the standard of my 95yo mother.)
Vince was best known as a longtime bartender on Chicago's North Side. (Can be an honorable position.) He truly was a gentle giant, impressive in height and girth. I remember him walking a drunk out the door of the bar one day, firmly, but so nicely the drunk thanked him. Conversely, Vince talks of getting booted from a bar himself, and tipping the bouncer. Heh - bar culture was something I had to learn in our Chicago years.
I also will always remember one day when I sat down at his bar in a time of trouble. He said I was the saddest looking person he'd ever seen. (For a longtime big city bartender, that's saying something!) Then he helped me find the solution I needed. And he probably bought me a beer. He did so much for so many as is broadly loved.
Vince is also a painter, musician, and writer. I'll try to post about his book on the book thread some Sunday soon. Been meaning to for a long time. Vince was in the Navy during Nam, radio guy. Also an excellent chef. Husband and father, he's leaving his devoted wife and their one beautiful adult child, my daughter's age.
Milady's family is large and scattered. There was a plan for relatives to gather and visit Vince, but all my daughter's cousins were coming and it was becoming a circus in a sick room. They were discouraging the en masse party when he took a turn for the worse, which if he doesn't improve, means he may not last the week. So, instead of going up to visit, we may have to go up for a funeral.
So, one way or another, Milady and I will probably be driving up to Chicago this week. Prayers welcomed where applicable.

Obama says that dwindling sage grouse numbers don't mean that the species requires protection.
They are not going to protect the birds. Period.
That would mean restrictions on their precious, inefficient, expensive, eye sore, environment ruining, special interest enriching windmills.
Not gonna happen. Even if all of the birds go away.

John Paul II involved himself in politics to the extent that he railed against the destruction of human freedom behind the Iron Curtain. That seems to be a profoundly Christian stance, unlike the current Pope who seems to be tacitly supporting quite the opposite, at least in Cuba.

Sorry for the slow response, was going home from work. To answer your questions as best I can, a lot of the things that drew me to Catholicism were things like the open and unabashed belief in things like visions, miracles, and the belief that evil is a real and external force. The church traditions, and the formal, somewhat distant, almost anonymous nature of the services are also a big appeal.
The big threat I see from this Pope is the moral relativism that often comes along with such a staunch belief in other Leftist ideas. If he injects that into the Church, it will cease to be recognizable as a Christian institution.

If you read the article, it makes sense. Only a handful of states complied with the REAL ID requirements. So since a license is basically useless as far as security goes in most states, the TSA said fuck it, everyone will need a passport.
The REAL ID was a good solution. Secure licenses that could also be used to cross into Canada. But a lot of people bitched and moaned about it.
So here we are 10 years later.....

No problem. Thx for your response
The things you believe in, brother are still the case. If you're heart was drawn there, follow your heart there. The bible says "Christ in us, our hope of glory" so I think Christ may be telling you to go there. And let the issue of what the Pope says about non political things bother you but let them go. That way, if you're in the church you can be nourished regularly by the Eucharist and express your displeasure with some of the elements that you find troublesome inside the church.
Can somebody get this Protestant on the payroll as an apologist for the RCC. :^) I just feel if people are drawn there thats where they should go.

Don't be silly. Indulgences is the sort of thing that credulous rubes buy to salve their conscience from acts they and their neighbors find wrong. A merchant's salvation if you would, you pay your money and get acceptance. (Except by the right sort, who can tell the difference, right?)
The sale of indulgences only benefited the organizations issuing them and made no change to the world in large, other than separating marks from their money.
Carbon offsets, on the other hand, are part of the modern ecological movement, and you should be forced to buy them. plebe.

With an AR, there is some math involved in the gas port distance from the end of the barrel smoothing out recoil, but you can get some scary soft shooters with a midlength gas system and a 14.7/16" barrel.
Short barrels are also lighter, and you don't really need to be front heavy with 5.56. Lighter barrels tend to cool down faster, too (this is more an argument for thin barrels vs. bull, but in the same vein).
So, longer barrels aren't just a lock, and a lot of times the shorter barrel is actually more accurate.

The biggest disappointment for Catholics, like myself, is that after having John Paul II (who helped bring down communism and was truly a great man) and Benedict XVI (who was so strong in defending the Church from the liberal elements) we have this guy who seems to be some dingbat who missed the last 30 years of what happened. Just like this idiot country putting that commie in the White House, it's stunning after the Reagan years that we got this low.

To me it looks like the left eye deviates downward slightly. There are several causes for this, maybe something as simple as the light source is very close causing one eye to draw inward (watch your finger approach the tip of your nose as you go cross-eyed). Could be altered vision in that eye, could be eye muscle imbalance. I suppose a stroke could cause that also.
