@Makakaov is about 90% on target with his assessments... but what about all those dash cams? What purpose do they serve if the cops won't get involved? How much weird shit can go on, on a crappy commute?

OP, your user picture has you wearing (allegedly) a military flack jacket, and pointing an old revolver at the camera... every thing else you say or do, is just sauce for the goose. The FBI has employees who go through all the text their computers filter out for them. They have been doing this since, the mid-to-late 90's! Maybe I should have told my story here...

From the sounds of it, stainless, non-magnetic and it does turn a bronze color when torched, it won't melt.
But a picture would help.

It's more than likely a brass fitting, likely for heating oil service, though they used to use them in small water service, like water fountains, back in the day. Plumbing supply shops sell those kind of 1/2" 90's, nipples and 1/2" to 3/4" (bowl) adapters.

1. Doesn't stick to a magnet, so its a non-ferrous metal.
2. Get a damn picture, depending on the thickness would help disprove or verify my guess.

Good advice, but thickness and shape could be misleading as well. I used to be able to tell just by banging it.
So what's aluminum and stainless a pound where you're at? Wish my pile of scrap was on the West coast, prices are almost double what they are here, near NG HQ |:

It's all about the shareholders, customers then the employees, who are controlled into not questioning why, or doing things a better way (Ray Croc's original McD's employee handbook).

We raise fast food workers to a $10/hr minimum. You know what happens next? They lay off anyone who is not needed 110%, and the prices of their food doubles overnight. Then they won't hire anyone that they can't live without. So you have nothing but skeleton crews 24 hours a day, and production slows down during lunch rushes. Not only that but the dollar menu disappear completely. Fewer people eat out becuase their minimum wages did not go up but a burger is $6 for the small one and nearly $9 for their "large" products.

True, they wouldn't dare cut profit margins, even though one Mr. Butz made it hellishly easy for them to make mad profits (as well as pollute our food supply).

Companies want us to live in poverty, so we work to buy their food, eat it, come to work to make more meager wages to buy more food from them. Half of those companies see a decent percentage of their workers wages come back during their work week in "cheapened" employee meals. While I worked at Arbys I got a 50% discount, which acutally made their food affordable. So I bought quite a bit of Arbys lol. But when I am only spending $3 for a large meal, that's a good price verses closer to $7 for normal customers.

That's a really good discount. So much of what little we make, goes to fueling the bod's engine, just to do this blue collar stuff.

What all of you don't seem to understand, is in the eyes of big business, and the government, we, as a whole, the 99%, are not supposed to have money. We're not. Simple. We work a shitty job, make shitty wages, and spend the majority of it just feeding ourselves and paying bills. Any extra income gets burned in the form of emergency repairs to our shittily built Chinese products that are by design supposed to fall apart in a few years forcing us to buy the newer more expensive item.

The banks and the corporations did a real good job of stealing our country's wealth alright.

Welcome to corporate run America kiddies.

Oh, and about what I said earlier about how governments watch all communication? Found this a few minutes after I posted, "FBI Taps Hacker Tactics....." Looks like they're unloading the last of the plausible deniablity, in an effort to keep us silent, and still playing the slavery game on their behalf.

Well, when I was 7 and she was 17... They make these "extenders" you can wear over the top of your penis, but you kinda have to wear a condom over that, just in case it should fall off, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can't feel a thing, and she'll want you to use it all the time.

I guess just use a dildo slowly on her, and f the shit out of her when you're not. Takes a while to get a chick off clitorally, especially the first time, but having a small penis shouldn't matter for that kinda orgasm. But if she likes it from behind, yeah, maybe get an extender for that... and she love you long time :)

At 8/3/13 03:58 AM, HighWay wrote: for small shit yeah. but stuff that could change the world, no. not at all.

Yep, that's pretty much it. The Feds have been monitoring internet chats and searches (and telephone) for a while now, with other government following suit. Any time they get wind of a political protest (especially a National thing), they go after the people involved with charges of inciting to riot, or having ANY kind of porn or stolen files on your computer. If they even suspect it, they can take your computer and never return it, hence, derailing any future participation or organization. They used to introduce a virus remotely, or 'update' a Windows (subcontracted) program file to disable internet connectivity, to knock people off before a protest is to begin. But the tactics I listed were used just over a decade ago, don't know what they do these days...

Maybe... but a lot of the new people who came here from YouTube, only post their shit and scat (skidoo, amskray), they don't chill in the BBS or even bother socializing here. There's also a larger contingent of independent "emoish" bloggers and conscientious observers, who just scan the content/Portals of the site, not the words... how you gonna get them off the fence and shoulder to shoulder with us? They rarely even check Tom's newsposts.

Some Flash movies and games on the subject, just might call their attention, maybe some promotional posters in the Art Portal. To the laybacks, I say, "Dis ain't no residential district! This here's a communty!"

At 8/1/13 06:25 AM, Dean wrote: Government pays for the whole thing. Then, after around 4 years of paying taxes from a graduate job

Here in the States, the banks used to make special student loans, graduates could pay off with heavy wage garnishment. The condition was, you work in your field or as a teacher in the public school system, was awesome! As time went on, it took longer and longer to pay off (3 => 10 years, at the same rate), until the banks went for the straight up loan, and those interest rates :| By the 80's, the cast was set and many young teachers had to make money in a hurry, so they just left teaching.

I like the notion that graduates then go on to pay for the new students through taxes.

It's a good system of checks and balances, but the banks (and the Fed Reserve bank/IRS) has a death grip on the Nation. There was more profit taking and giving to stockholders, not employees, so they couldn't reinvest or have the company pay for healthcare.... was doomed since before I as born. Just glad I was awake enough to see it happen in the 1970's, and the results now. I'm 40, so, you guys were born into this cash strapped, BS version of America :\

It's not like the sun is a bubbling mass of gas or anything.

Do you even understand how the sun works? It's not a physical gargantuan hunk of land-mass flying at us, it's a massive, well not even really for the sun, from what we are being told, it's a chunk of radiation flying at us. Waves of energy, not a massive pulsing mass of molten plasma ready to disintegrate us. That is not how stars work.

I don't wanna be irradiated :( But one of these days, we'll be in for a real smack in the face, even given the odds. If this happened now, you could kiss electricity goodbye for a few months, even years, easy. And all that electronic gear we own, would be toast, blank and useless.

Can't be 'Angry Birds' nuthin' in the Portal, right?

Now we gotta start looking out for any and all Mario games? Guess Tom will have to make a proper news post on the subject soon. Can't imagine the little red bricks he shit out when he opened that letter from Nintendo. And to think, this thread started so innocently.

If you're a company and you want to make an actual living, you'd much rather have one fan who gives you 10$ than a thousand fans who give you a total of 1$.

Thanks for the big picture view, still hurts like hell that a big bug can come in here, and take a few years off Tom's life, as well as revenue from the game makers themselves. Granted, I'd be scared as shit to try and develop something with trademarked characters... better to be original and suffer mediocrity, than to blatantly rip off a household name, both visually and financially, knowing the hammer could come down at any moment :|

Just glad it's games, and not movies or music - if the big corporations had it their way, we wouldn't even be able to write fan-fics! Hell, what about some of our avatars/user icons? Could be plenty worse.

I'd like to think Tom can defend at least some of the games Nintendo listed, but it's unlikely. Big companies don't move for fleas like us, otherwise, they get a rep that they can be bargained with... and what indie game developer has the bank account to go up against a bigger developer? Dread mon, truly dread....

I randomly checked a few of your movies that precede this year... not an mp4 among them :| Hope one of the staff can account for this!

Or the flip side is, Tom doesn't want to draw the attention of the NSA spooks, or risk litigation or charges :\ The staff have grown cautious of Sevkitty's and SirTom's, so they keep a weather eye out... but that's mostly on the BBS side of things.

The Madness cartoon was a minute long, and refers to an inherent conflict within the series.... short subject with crude animation. Love Krinkels man, was deeply impressed when I made his acquaintance, but this was just a tiny taste of his saga.

As it is, I think Tom and the staff kinda overpromote established NG artists a bit much, when there's plenty of unique undiscovered works that aren't that old... and their creators could certainly use the exposure. It's gotta be tough for them to decide, because a good selections take time to find - watch it, go back to the creators page, lurk around, watch a few more, see if they're worthy.... I love how careful the staff is with what they promote; guess it's faster to go with a known quantity.
