Listen to the audio in the link I posted. That was no 30 round magazine. Even if he did convert and AR you can't make it belt fed. It doe not have the hardware to self feed. AR and AKMs use a spring in the magazine to feed the next round into the rifle. And if you did make an AR full auto you can't control the rate of fire anymore. In other words once you pull the trigger it empties the magazine. But even then the biggest magazine is 30 rounds. The HK-21 & MG-34 can be modified to be belt fed. Both are illegal in the US. Just last week I saw someone convert an ar-15 to eject casings out of the lower receiver and feed in from an p90 50-round box mag. They sell even higher capacity casket fed p90 magazines. I think if someone really wanted to rig something up they could. I've seen people attach drums to AR-15s (belt fed too) before as well but to me it's not about capacity as I'm not sure the barrel (or gas tube) could take such a high rate of fire as is being suggested

Stonekeep 2? Castles 3? I dunno what all he worked on before but assuming sequel or spiritual successor

It's wishful thinking as far as I know because I'm thinking it... wishfully.

The period before the comma bothers me more than it should

Curious about the estate death tax?

Tom Price resigns Seems like a lot of turnover in the first year

Probably slang or something

Because that would upset Turkey and Iraq. I guess. But probably due to the psychic vampires. Turkey isn't much on our side anymore anyway and I'd take the Kurds over Iraq most days of the week Those vampires are like the Spanish Inquisition

I give up Let's talk about the Kurds or something. Why isn't the US backing their bid for independence?

A coworker was trying to get one but after calling and driving around for a few hours he gave up.

There are some groups believe that making more neutral greetings and Starbucks cups is an attack on them and their faith. Sometimes they are right and some people do want to get religion out of the public sphere as much as possible but to say that it is one sided is false. Ninja'd by RND

What gets me the closest to both Salma Hayek and Jennifer Connelly? Antonio Banderas maybe? What's he doing these days?

The Last Starfighter. Hadn't seen it for at least 20 something years and since my wife had never seen it, we watched it. I still remembered almost every word. I wish I could remember important crap instead of all this useless info. Anyway, I'd give it a warm childhood fuzzies/10 Maybe I'll go see if I can track down the Boy Who Could Fly and Explorers next

I don't like that it's on a streaming service but they are releasing episodes like a regular show. Netflix has my brain wired to thinking streaming means bingeable. I finally watched the first episode and I liked it even though I agree with pretty much all of the criticisms leveled against it.

I agree that people have the right to be offended even if they are usually the group complaining about people being offended but I also agree that it's strange that the consequences fall on the family who wasn't even involved. I guess I'm just agreeable

Clicked on this link and ended up watching 30 minutes of Barry Sanders highlights

Sort of did my first raid yesterday because the random guild I'm in needed DPS and I answered the call. I guess the goal was to beat the Twins or whatever they are called but we spent like an hour trying to get an 8th member for the raid so I had to bail shortly after beating Tyth because my wife came home. We ended up doing it with only 7 because that 8th member never materialized. I'm sure undermanning a veteran raid is no big accomplishment but I'm still proud of it.

What luxuries can't you live without? I'd probably say travel, both domestic and international, because I don't think anything has changed me as much seeing other places and how other people live. Second, would be the internet.

I grew up in Michigan, no it's not a Bible belt thing. Things were just different in the 90's, back then God was a huge respect in schools in general but I'm talking general public schools in the 90's, I'm sure 80's and 70's were just as respectful and fearing of the name of "God" if not more. It probably didn't really start changing until right after my time, since then the country has been devolving. I mean, as I said before, we're having one sided decisions made for the sake of comfort but stripping freedom as it were. I'm confused to why students can't be free to take a Bible into school or wear a cross necklace if someone else can wear a pentagram, etc. I'm pretty sure I'm older than you and this is just weird to me but on the flip side it let's me get a better understanding of where you are coming from. I dunno, I mean my very small town had like 5 7 churches but outside of the pledge and various optional (and I think outside of regular school hours) bible/prayer groups religion was absent from school... I guess unless you happened to go to one of the religious private schools but those were in "town." Edit- I think we may have stopped doing the pledge in middle school or junior high as it was called when I attended but I'm almost certain we didn't do it high school either.

Where are you from? Is that just a Texas thing? Or a bible belt thing? Makes my rural country upbringing seem ultra progressive

Scientists have discovered a new species of giant rat

You guys are overlooking the main problem The pledge just flows better with "under god" in it edit- removed my critique of modern music
