Neither ‘Capacity’ Nor ‘Power’ Distinguishes ‘Assault Weapons’ From Other Firearms | External Steel Pipe Shot Blasting Machine

“Compared to the new technology of wet ice blasting, conventional hydro-blasting uses up to 35 times more water to achieve the same effect. In South Africa, where ongoing, acute water shortages are a constant daily reality for many, the water-saving capability of wet ice blasting is a welcome game-changer in the industrial surface cleaning sector,” Sowry points out, adding that frequently, other methods of cleaning use chemicals which could be detrimental to workers’ health. With wet ice blasting, the only media used is completely safe water.

The Turkey-built Otokar Cobra is a family of light armored vehicles which incorporate some mechanical components of the American Humvee.

Nitpicler; just stop the lying and con games… We are not stupid… Here is a great example of your crazy BS… You say she quote a 2007 paper by Dr. Hansen So?

Well, conspiracy theorists have an explanation for the breadth of the subterfuge, too. They point to the many other historical instances of government deception — the fact that we know of them because they were at some point exposed or confessed does not seem to trouble them.

The partial government shutdown has glided into its third week with no end in sight. If the government is not reopened before March, millions of Americans who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — the nation’s food stamp program — could have their assistance disrupted. The funding provided for SNAP and other programs through February is only a temporary fix.

We continue our journey back through time with some flashbacks of Michael’s childhood, witnessing the young orphan girl welcomed into the Vulcan home of Sarek and his human wife Amanda. Mia Kirshner continues to impress, adding new dimensions to this familiar character as she offers her blessing to young Michael, one of the many religious tidbits peppered into this episode, which kicks off a season said to deal with the theme of science versus faith. But their young son was not nearly so welcoming, throwing a computer-generated holographic dragon at the frightened young girl before shutting the door in her face.

Because he was one of the officers under his command and a member of his crew. Would you want to serve under someone who placed so little value on your life?

2009: Richard Alley, 08:52 ”…if you put it [anthropogenic CO₂] in models, it is sufficient to explain what happened …so far, we can’t find anything else that is… We don’t have, sort of, pound on the table, this [anthropogenic CO₂] is nailed, we’re done on this one, yet …” Yep, even now, there is no observational evidence that Mannkind’s emissions of CO₂ causes planetary warming. NONE. Dr. Alley: ”…so it surely looks like it…” Well, “supported by the extent of the observational evidence”, it sure looks like ASR is causing warming, and that is ’cause of a decrease in cloud. For one, that is what the models tell us. Trenberth & Fasullo 2009 ”There is an increase in net radiation absorbed, but not in ways commonly assumed. … Instead, the main warming, from an energy budget standpoint, comes from increases in absorbed solar radiation that stem directly from the decreasing cloud amounts.” Trenberth & Fasullo 2009 “Global warming due to increasing absorbed solar radiation.” Geophysical Research Letters

Turns out Everest developer Solfar Studios has a bit of fight in it. In Death is one of the best medieval combat games for VR, Pitting you against hordes of ghouls, archers and demented knights that you’ll take down shot-by-shot with your trusty bow and arrow. There’s just a splash of Dark Souls to it, with an authentic atmosphere that really makes you feel like you’re storming an ancient fortress. This is another Early Access game that’s already justified a purchase, so we’re hoping Solfar builds a lot more into it in the coming months.

You can ask Kendrick Lamar, and he’ll tell you that one of his early inspirations was Missy Elliott. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Elliott bloomed into a music video savant because of her audacious attempts to do the impossible in under five minutes. In ’01, Elliott wiped the competition with her Dave Meyers-shot visual for "Get Ur Freak On." The funky track included a starry cast, with appearances by Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and Eve. Meanwhile, Missy rhymes inside of an underground sewer, glides on top of a chandelier – and just when you thought the fun was over – she even sneaks in a quick verse from her Miss E LP highlight "Lick Shots" to restart the party all over again. – C.L.
