JCC Ender Sigh rags on 'Murica

Quinoa is the bomb if you cook it right. As well as being the best thing about stupid Passover rules!

 

the most fun thing about quinoa is pronouncing it as incorrectly as possible in an attempt to aggravate the waiter at the hipster cafe.

 

I just call it a "Quinjet" and zoom it into my mouth as it's coming in for a landing.

 

Quin-[sound Bruce Lee made]

 

Before I tasted Quinoa, I pronounced it Quinoa. After tasting it, I started pronouncing it Quin...Wo-ah!*

*I have not actually ever had this product

 

Never had quinoa but chard is vile

 

the **** is quinoa

 

All I know is that one of my coworkers made some baked kale chips and those things were delicious. Not as good as spinach, true, but I hold spinach in some kind of vegetable pantheon.

 

Naturally, I thought this is what Ender is like on a boys' night out especially with the Fosters.

 

Nobody in Australia drinks Fosters. It's just not done.

 

I don't know how many times we have to explain that to the Americans, Lost. But despite lecturing them on their errors they insist on linking us with Fosters and "shrimp", a term we in fact never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever use.

Incidentally, have you tried Stone & Wood's Pacific Ale?

 

Great, next you're going to tell me you don't all walk around with crocodile skin jackets and giant hunting knives ...

 

I don't want to bring this up in the guns thread since Kimball will try and convince us (with a straight face) that a nation with as many guns as America is 243% less likely to see a shooting than a country with no guns. But seriously America. Why do you have all the idiots? Are you not a bit jealous we got convicts, given it just means more drunkenness?

Idiot.

 

OK, the man lives i a state in which it is perfectly legal to walk around with what looks like an AR-15 rifle strapped to his chest. Can someone explain to me why he's protesting to defend his Second Amendment rights? They're pretty obviously being protected to the most extreme degree imaginable.

 

No I've seen it around but never tried it. Is it good? Surely it's not as good as a Miller Lite?

 

Apples and petroleum, in terms of taste old boy. But is it good? Yes. Dear god yes. It's the best beer I've had in a long time.

 

I've had one and liked it, but that's a bit far. I don't remember it being that memorable.

 

Two things:

Ghost Gunner: Legal DIY gun machine sells out in the US
A machine which creates untraceable, yet legal, “ghost guns” has sold out in the US.

A libertarian group based in Texas unveiled the product called the Ghost Gunner on Wednesday - a year after they sent shockwaves across the globe by creating a 3D printed gun which could be downloaded online.

The Ghost Gunner consists of a milling machine which connects to a PC to create the lower receiver of an AR-15 rifle, the gun used to kill 26 people in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.

A receiver is the part of a gun which connects the stock, barrel, magazine and other components which can easily be purchased online - and is therefore highly regulated.

To lawfully manufacture the Ghost Gunner, Defense Distributed have taken advantage of a legal loophole. While it is illegal to sell an untraceable lower receiver, making one is not.

The simple-to-use machine means users require no experience or expertise to produce weapons. More crucially, the method means the guns do not have the serial numbers which are used to trace weapons and are legally required by all commercial manufacturers.

The non-profit organisation had intended to sell 110 of the devices worth $1,200 (£750) before stopping orders, but has since sold more than 200.



On Thursday, the group tweeted that its batch of Ghost Gunners had sold out in 24 hours, but reassured customers it would begin selling the machines again in January.

The group clearly positions itself as an anti-government, libertarian activist organisation with the aim of using the freedom offered by the internet to protect what is sees as the civil and human rights of Americans.

A YouTube video by Defense Distributed mockingly advertises the Ghost Gunner by splicing together footage of an official from California warning the public against the make-shift lower receiver, news reports relaying the dangers of the machine, and footage of the milling machine in action.

On its website, the group explains how it aims to: “defend the human and civil right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the United States Constitution and affirmed by the United States Supreme Court” and “to collaboratively produce, publish, and distribute to the public without charge information and knowledge related to the digital manufacture of arms.”

Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed told Wired magazine: “People want the battle rifle and the comfort of replicability, and the privacy component.”

“It's about humiliating the power that wants to humiliate you.”

One way Australia is better than 'Murika.

The Miller Lite thing through me as well. I'm hoping it's not the american one?
