You can read anywhere from 4x-10x faster than someone can present.
It’s that simple.
And in a well-written, well-organized article, you can very quickly and easily skip paragraphs or entire sections that aren’t relevant to what you’re trying to get out of it.
Also … for something with a reciprocating barrel, it’s surprising how accurate an M2 can get if you tinker with it enough and fire it in single shots. Guess the mass of the barrel helps somewhat.
I think I remember hearing something about an experimental sniper rifle program that used barrels from M2 HMGs as the barrel for the new sniper rifle?
Even Apple allows more user customization and choice than Gnome does these days.
“No, fuck you. You’ll use your computer how we tell you to, and you’ll like it!” just isn’t very compatible with “Please give us more money!”
Not for karaoke, no … but it will make you sing!
Nah, division of labor (at least to some extent) existed long before capitalism and will still need to be present long after. Not everybody can or should do everything for themselves.
Are you somehow surprised that you got exactly what you asked for?
The problem with Mr. White here is that he’s still internalizing capitalistic individualism.
“Everyone should grow their own food and be self sufficient.” – Nope.
“The local community should grow food for each other and be self sufficient.” – Yes.
Food self-sufficiency is much more realistic on a community scale than on an individual scale. And it can help with all the problems listed here:
People who don’t have access to land – can share the land of others who do have access to land
People with health problems – can be assisted by the community and still help out where they can (maybe their health problems prevent them from effectively weeding or harvesting, but maybe they could still help with sorting/processing/preserving)
People who value food security – with a larger community growing more diverse crops, you’re less likely to have catastrophic crop failure
People who hate zucchini – again, with a larger community growing more diverse crops, there would be more options for what to eat
People with health issues are incapable of gardening in some way so must rely on the industry.
Though, on the other hand, fresh-grown food from a garden (and a bit of moderate exercise) is likely to help with a lot of health issues…
But you can’t roll your own linux distro?
You can, but it wouldn’t be better than Hannah Montana Linux.
Yeah. That’s just them saving money on translation and printing. Now they don’t have to pay for translators to every language they sell to, and they don’t have to print different instruction booklets for every language (or print a super-long instruction booklet that repeats the same instructions in 10 different languages).
