I’ve had one for ages. I like it just fine. It was under $200 when I bought it, and I have liked it just fine.

There’s a certain amount of trigger creep. I hope eventually to drop in a Volquartsen kit, but it shoots ok, which is to say it shoots better than I can. I’ve stripped it for cleaning before but never disassembled it completely, which I did tonight.

I’m not sure I understand what all the hooraw is about, I’ve had several people talk about how difficult it is to disassemble these, and it was the simplest thing.

I was contemplating the purchase of a new hard drive to replace the nearly-full one in the home desktop. I defraggted etc. and no dice. Someone suggested i might turn off “system restore” and I thought, I don’t have it on. But Win did. I turned it off, and HALF OF THE FUCKING HARD DRIVE IS NOW FREE.

I hate computers, I sincerely do.

M Alger with his usual aplomb gets it so right that I cannot add to it in any way

Go. Read the wholw thing.

Now, I have to say, nothing could nail the subject down harder and more solidly.

For years plantation owners made their living (ostensibly) on the backs of slave laborers- though the idea that this was anything other than business was asinine. Those plantation owners were buying machinery, and that’s all they thought of it, period.

Now, we’re all wage slaves, working for an ever decreasing bite of the labor of our own hands and minds. And no abolitionists are coming our way to liberate us. And at no point will we ever vote our way clear of our slavery. At best the taxes we pay are golden handcuffs, at worst, iron stocks.
