On the issue of gun control? Take a look at Mexico. They have much stricter gun control. In the entire country of Mexico, you can only buy guns in one location. And you can only own handguns up to .380(home defense only), rifles up to .22, and shotguns up to 12 gauge. Everything else is legal only in the hands of law enforcement or the military. Nobody in the country may own more than 2 guns without justifying why they have them. Private citizens wishing to acquire a firearm and ammunition are required by law to do the following: Apply for a firearm acquisition permit from the General Directorate of the Federal Firearms Registry and Explosives Control (DGRFAFyCE) in the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) either by mail or in person by submitting the following: (for Mexican citizens, males under 40) Copy of liberated National Military Service card; (for females or males over 40) certified birth certificate. Foreigners must provide documentation establishing legal presence (FM2 card), Proof of income by submitting original employment letter stating position, time of employment and salary. If self-employed or retired, proof of such status, Criminal background check showing no convictions, issued by the state's Attorney General where applicant resides (dated no older than six months), Copy of proof of address (any utility bill in name of applicant; if different, head of household must sign a letter authorizing firearms and ammunition in the home), Copy of government-issued photo identification (Voter ID Card if Mexican citizen, passport and FM2 card if foreign citizen), If weapons are requested for shooting or hunting, must submit copy of hunting and/or shooting club membership card, indicating day, month and year of the beginning and end of validation, Copy of birth certificate. Name(s) and last names must match all other documents, and Copy of the Unique Key of Population Registry (Clave Única de Registro de Población - CURP) Analogous to US social security card and number. Upon being granted the firearm acquisition permit, fill out form and make payment of MX$95.00 (US$7.60) for Permit to Purchase Firearm, Accessories and/or Ammunition, Fill out form and make payment of MX$39.00 (US$3.12) for Registration of Firearm (one form and payment per gun), Contact the Directorate of Commercialization of Arms and Munitions (DCAM) by internet or in person to make payment of firearm. With all receipts and documentation, along with photo ID, appear in person at DCAM to pick up firearm. A temporary transportation permit (valid for 24 to 72hrs) is granted, which permits the owner to transport the firearm from DCAM to his or her home by personal or public transportation (ground or air). I see what you're trying to say, but just because you have well-regulated gun laws, doesn't mean there are no sides. It's a lot more complicated than that. Mexico has much stricter gun laws and much higher gun crime.

I guess? I'm not really sure what you're referring to. Anyways, somebody learned something because a boy in California was promptly arrested after threatening to shoot up his school as well.

And since both sides seem to have a relatively equal powered punch, it doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Ah, alright. My series focuses more on the human psychology aspect of an apocalypse then the actual apocalypse.

Rule of Three by Eric Walters. All three books have been published. Each around 400 pages. First one follows the initial creation of the city state. The second one follows an internal coup attempt against the city states rulers. The third one follows a war breaking out between the city state and a rouge army. https://www.amazon.com/Rule-Three-Eric-Walters/dp/0374355029

Rule of Thr3e trilogy is an amazing series. The power in the entire world goes out, and you get to follow the main characters as they try to rebuild society against rogue militaries, starvation, disease, and internal revolutions.

Ultimately I don't mind people downvoting my stuff. I've said stupid stuff before, and I can definitely see why some got like 12 downvotes. But yeah. I see. I was just about to say I received another 2 of them on the same posts, but that would be it reversing. Alright then. Additionally, it could have been a case of confirmation bias on my point if it is fairly sporadic.

I'd like to put in the ability to see who downvoted your posts. For the past few days, I've woken up in the morning to a string of downvotes of posts I made days or even weeks ago.

Unless I'm wrong, you could probably make apple cider with it as well. I don't drink wine. So that's what I'd make instead.

I had used metal for the balls, it still doesn't work. It's a very simple concept, and all I know is that I'm losing a LOT of energy somewhere. I'm assuming the strings are too large(they're pretty important) so I'm going to restring it with fishing line. I used a 6 1/2 inch by 3 inch by 1/2 inch dark stained block with 4 square pieces. 1/2 by 1/2 inch by 4 inches. Then I used two 6 inch long 1/4 inch dowels and put them between the 1/2inch pieces of wood by drilling a hole. So the woods pretty nice looking, albeit a tiny bit crooked on one side.

Tried making a newton's cradle today and failed horribly. The wooden part holding the strings and balls is fine, but the balls just don't act like a newtons cradle should. Once you pull one side up it just kinda rocks all the balls at once. Tips?

Got an actual NASA engineer to confirm this.(turned out to be a lot easier than I thought) Anyways, here's a video he suggested.

Yep. https://shop.mantoncork.com/4x5x1-2-inch-thick-cork-sheets/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAyszSBRDJARIsAHAqQ4p-K9OuPNi8uoyVye-GzMUbkINUuJARRcUnJVgPMY3AoGfa91wuURIaAiQlEALw_wcB

Ah, makes sense. I'm usually around 27 - 29 year's old when participating in a work or school environment, however when I'm relaxing and doing nothing I revert to the usual thing any 15-year-old teenage boy does in his free time and surfs the web. Additionally when I'm trying to convince someone older than me of something I turn into 600-year-old budda and spout of wise sayings one after another in an effort to garner respect and trust. And then there's also the occasional mood swings where I have a bad mood and act like a 3-year-old. You? Sorry. That sounds like it was laced with sarcasm. It was intended to be humorous.

Not to be rude, but, how old are you?

Precisely. My grandpa spent the last 40 years doing this type of stuff. Sells benches, chests, chairs, etc, by the order, for close to $500 a piece. It's more than just a art, it's a way of life for some. Also, he's going on 96 years old and still rides motorcycles. You're onto something when you say there's a certain zen about it. Very possible, and quite likely. I haven't inspected it closer. You've already got a better eye then me.

Yeah. However, when working with finger joints, measure twice and cut once. If it's too tight, you can alway's cut a little off. If it's too loose, you can't fix it. Actually, make that a tip for ANY project. Measure twice cut once. Forgot to mention with staining, don't forget to sand. It makes a massive difference. Especially with things that others will be touching. That's not one I personally made, that's an online example. However, I've made them before and have seen a lot made by others who live near me. But in all likely hood, it is a dowel. It's also possible it's something else but I wouldn't have any idea what it could be.

If you're making a frame or something, it often looks MUCH better if you make the edges end in a 45 degree angle, so that they all fit together as a slant. Also, if you're avoiding screws, it's also interesting to learn how to fit wood together like this: This way you can avoid using wood glue. Often, it'll be a tight fit that you have to tap together with a hammer, but the idea that you made something without any glue, nails, or screws, is a good feeling. Additionally, stain and varnish can go a LONG way in making finished products look beautiful. But make sure to only apply stain lightly unless you want REALLY dark wood. Also, avoid allowing stain to "pool" up. It'll result in these: Which in my opinion look ugly. Those blotches. But others disagree. It's up to you. Additionally, a fun project to do is to make a chest. But you'll probably have to use hinges. For that special someone. Note the corners. Anyways, a lot of trial and error is involved.

Other than the very obvious such as boys and girls bathrooms, even though some guys occasionally "become" a girl for a while(actually, the pranks with that have mostly stopped honestly.), different locker rooms, etc. There have been a few points where it was very obvious that the teacher was implying that the girl should be able to handle it because a guy was able to handle a similar situation. However, in my opinion, the guy doesn't "handle" the situation so much as get through it. And if they both get through the same situation in different ways of processing it, then that doesn't mean there should be any reason to say a girl should be able to handle it because someone else did.

It was more of a joke. That kinda flew over your head. Anyways. So, the next part is going to be controversial. But for now, you agree that boys and girls should not be expected to be able to handle the same problems the same way correct?

Just to be clear on a few things before I continue on. I don't think women are dumber than men. Actually, I think the contrary for generalization. I agree women should vote and have equal rights and all that other stuff. I'm just wondering if the argument that women should be put to the same standards as men, especially in teenagers, is starting to push it.

Alright. I largely agree with this actually.

To their credit, I did do a quick search for the word and apparently, it's only ever been said in this thread.

Most likely because I'm incoherent as well. 1. Evidently, I missed those trials and tribulations. 2. I can't agree with that more. 3. Unlikely, because most of the times you're seeing a therapist for something other than life and death. Or, you can just change your gender.
