I go to the gym with 50-65 year old guys who are on roids. Some of them are pretty fucking big and ripped. Robby Robinson is an example of someone who has been on that shit since days of Arnold. He's 66 years old now, these pictures are from when he was 62.
I have no interest in that shit, but I think to some extent, if you're following a doctor's recommendations, your various levels are good, you're taking proper support supplements, you can get away with cycling.
The hazard of mercury is vastly overstated, and downright ludicrous in cases like this where it wasn't even exposed to anyone.
FACT: Kids decades ago, even right in the classroom, used to play with mercury right in their bare hands.
Is it something you want to do every day? No, and long term exposure would be bad, but no one died from it in those scenarios, or was even sickened by it.
Shitty. I (had, before it turned to shit) been using it for almost a decade. Now retards are glomming onto USENET, and it's resulting in the copyright police to go after it.
A combination of several factors has made this the only option. For a long time we have struggled with poor indexing of Usenet, poor numbers of reports caused by the majority of our editors dropping out & no-one replacing them. Our servers have been unstable and crashing on a regular basis meaning the NZBs & NFOs are unavailable for long periods and we don't have the money to replace them.
Newzbin2 was always hoped to be a viable underground commercial venture. The figures just don't stack up. Newzbin1 was said to have had 700,000 registered users. In fact that was the total number of people who ever signed up in the history of Newzbin from 2000 onwards & only a fraction were active, loads of people dropped out & went to other sites. We reckon they had about 100,000 users and of those only a few 10's of thousands paid premium topups.That still made good money for the Newzbin1 guys. We never quite got the trust and lots of people said "Newzbin2 is an MPA trap", that stung us bad and we never got the userbase back. We don't have much more than about 40000 active users and the number of premium users is in the small thousands. It costs much more to run than we bring in, It just doesn't stack up.
To make things worse all our payment providers dropped out or started running scared. The MPA sued Paypal and are going at our innocent payment provider Kthxbai Ltd in the UK. Our other payment provider has understandably lost their nerve. Result? We have no more payment providers to offer & no realistic means of taking money (no, Bitcoin isn't credible as it's just too hard for 90% of people).
The tragedy is this: unlike Newzbin1 we are 100% DMCA compliant. We have acted on every DMCA notice we received without stalling or playing games: if there was a DMCA complaint the report was gone. Period. That was a condition of our advertising & payment partners so we complied but we never got a single complaint from the MPA. Not one.
Will we be back? not as a search service but we might run a blog from this site at some point.
I've posted pictures of about $15,000 worth of guns over the years. Not video game ones.
I'll say it again:
I wish Mitch still posted here, he probably knows more about guns than anyone else here ever has, and he didn't spend time making fucktarded arguments about them, because he knew what he was talking about.
Yeah, thread over. You think an Enfield rifle can beat a modern M1a or variants. Get real. WW2 bolt actions, exceptions aside (i.e. K31 Swiss) aren't that great in the accuracy department.
Why are we arguing guns with a guy who does nothing but read books and has admittedly only ever owned a couple of single shot rifles.
Uh, less accuracy, yes, frequently, and in theory, but there are semiautos which have actually bested bolt action rifles in competition. For instance, modern M14s could walk circles around an Enfield rifle. Certainly, "the" most accurate rifles are often bolt action, but on a comparative basis this isn't always true.
As for velocity...huh? A .308 round coming out of 20" barrel has virtually the same velocity whether or not it's in a bolt action rifle or a semiautomatic one. You're giving a gas recoil system way too much credit for reducing power.
Look, I know you know a lot about history and what have you, but you're a prime example of someone who thinks you know best purely from what you read and zero practical experience.
You're putting a lot of theory into this that doesn't necessarily work in the real world, and you're making an assumption both people are absolute experts with the respective guns.
And good luck hitting someone a mile away with a Lee Enfield rifle. Theoretically possible, yes, in reality, it isn't happening. Good luck hitting someone a mile away with a much more capable gun unless you're really skilled with it, have a spotter, etc.
