This is how all world wars began. Major powers don't start them with each other. It's always proxy nations.

I'm including the Peloponnesian War, which tore apart the Greek empire quite similarly to WW1 & 2.

It would be fine to engrave the cases, but not the bullets. It would change the balance and aerodynamics, making them highly inaccurate, and that is dangerous and highly unethical.

Now if you wanted to make them underpowered or duds, I suppose there's an argument for that. You'd have to reload them yourself though, and it's possible you could be held liable.

It's the same thing that always happens in any economic system where the wealthy, powerful, and corrupt are allowed to remain in charge.

Well it certainly wasn't communist.

Just gotta concentrate a bunch of gays in one place, and the hurricanes follow. It's science!

I just started with PopOS a couple years ago. I'm not a power user. I've got one of those crappy travel printers. I think it's Canon? I forget. It worked just fine for me.

If you enjoyed the Holy Grail, then you should definitely watch Monty Python and the Life of Brian. If your whistle needs further wetting, Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, followed by Monty Python's Flying Circus ought to do the trick.

Cool. I've already got more books than I'll be able to finish before I die. Might as well get back into reading. Fuck those bastards.

Oh, I agree. There are wide swaths of the country that rail cannot service. Individual homes out in the sticks, farmland, etc. they'd need a car or truck just to get to the train station.

Oh they'd crucify that dude all over again.

I remember Republicans warning in the 80s that the Russians would attack America from within. Made sense, the way the KGB operated.

Only where the rails went. We'd have to replace all the roads with light rails.
