  1. Patents don't generally give out the level of detail needed to reproduce something without doing a lot of work. They also aren't all published. If the government deems your patent critical to national security, it gets squirreled away for them to do with it whatever they please. And lol at the notion that a patent undergoes the same kind of examination that peer review does.
  2. Don't you put that evil on me. Elmo is an idiot, but so is that other person.
  3. Oh, OK. So all the technology developed by private companies in house so they can patent it and profit from their research isn't science. All the stuff developed by DARPA isn't science. None of that stuff actually exists because it wasn't science. That new stealth bomber? Lies, because it wasn't published in a peer reviewed journal.
  4. We should get our own AI bot/poster that is trained only on this site.
  5. When a few people in congress (who are in the pockets of the military industrial complex) kill or neuter a bill that basically just says any technology derived from non human intelligence has to be surrendered to the government, and you think there is nothing to see there, that makes you the conspiracy theorist. Trust the people who have been proven to lie to us repeatedly and by their own admission, not the whistleblowers! Especially when they are senior members of the government. Because we can't trust them after all...
  6. Well, apparently saying "Taylor Swift is the Nickleback of pop music" is fighting words. Doesn't make it less true.
  7. FYI, if you are trying to remember what that show was you watched as a little kid with the cowboy and the robot horse in space, it is called Bravestarr, and it is only on YouTube. But it is all there in all of its glory.
  8. Not to detract from her skills, but there is a big difference in field stripping a rifle and trying to remove a stuck sight from a rail. Why it is so stuck is probably the better question. And why are the sights on a rail mounted on the dust cover. That's like the least stable part of one of those rifles.
  9. Sacrilege. Revolvers are still awesome. Glocks are great, but they suck.
  10. The DOD can't account for 1.9 trillion dollars worth of assets. Maybe we should start holding them accountable for the money we give them and go from there when we set their budget.
  11. I saw a Miata battlecar in Henderson several months back. Probably more capable than a cybertruck.
  12. Make sure your compressor is heavy duty enough. I've nearly been stranded because of relying on a cheap light duty one. I'd also look into something you could buryor some sort of heavy bag you could fill with dirt/sand/rocks and attach your winch to in the event there isn't anything else.
  13. I knew a girl in high school who refused to make left turns. She would have to figure out how to get wherever she was going without making a left turn. Which, in retrospect, is fairly impressive on its own.
  14. Did you think it would age like fine wine?
  15. Yeah, I would assume most of them have gone through by now, but you never know. I got mine back in October after submitting it right at the deadline.
  16. If it was an amnesty SBR, you can still reapply by paper. Try and find out the age t who reviewed it and try to speak to them. Mine went through despite only sending in one fingerprint card instead of two.
  17. If there is one writing rule Filoni abides by religiously, it is Chekhov's Gun. He obviously has plans to expand on that given we didn't get resolution in those series. I thought the finale was great, even if the series didn't resonate with me lime The Clone Wars or Rebels.
  18. If he thinks that kid is too fat, he needs to spend some time on the treadmill himself. Is there a Usain Bolt setting?
  19. They aren't turning left into the gas station, they are turning left onto the road and then making a right hand turn. Thus illegal lane changes and improper signaling.
  20. Yup. Wife started a new job after a few years raising the little ones. Asks me how much we are getting back from our tax return. We'll actually... Somehow it's my fault.
