and I don't think we can afford to do that in CA
yeah skippy i wanted to post more about this in the previous thread but got distracted by something.
boulder might be a good idea for a town to live in. it has probably too many hippies for my taste but it's definitely a college town, has a nice climate, is pretty, has at least a few industries and isn't too too expensive i don't think.
most rocky mountain small towns are ass conservative and they just get worse as you get farther north. idaho, for instance, is basically hard-core mormons in the south and white supremacists in the north.
really this is the central problem with the rockies: the people tend to be really polarized between new-age hippies or hard-core libertarianish conservatives - sometimes both at the same time, somehow! i mean it is a problem in a lot of the US, but especially marked in the rockies.
despite the clear charms of the climate and location it is not really a place i particularly want to move back to. plus the public transportation in like every single rocky mountain city is basically nonexistent.
I'm British, I'd have to move to the US, get citizenship, then join the army, then become an automatic rifleman..... I'd rather be a sniper if it wasn't for the horrific killing people through a zoomed scope. Or the killing at all for that matter, I mean I know I could... anyone could it's inbuilt into our biological psyche, but I wouldn't choose to.
I wonder if I join the UK Armed forces, go through into the SAS, then quit after 3-5 years and join Mi5 or SiS, then move to America and get citizenship and join the Army and get into the special forces, if they would let me drive a tank around Kansas.

yeah I am torn because I am pretty progressive, which = city
but city = expensive
and I kinda want to live in a sleepy little town that gets all snowy in winter and has little local festivals and shit where potential kids can just ride bikes around

You can join our army without citizenship and if you complete your term we will give you citizenship. It worked for Rome.

One of my best friends moved to Maine, he seems to like it. I think he thinks it is a nice break after living in Baltimore and then Boston for his undergrad and law degrees.
does he make a living selling moose and lobster related nick-nacks from his home business on maine street?
Sadly more boring, just a junior lawyer in a law firm in Portland, Maine.
hrmmm. maritime law, i hope?
also, penobscot bay is where its at.

Not really a spoiler for anything in the ep just freaking hilarious.
That's funny shit, you can tell those two get on really well with each other, I think it's what adds to the episodes too. I loved the episode where they start arguing like a married couple, it's the first one with the trickster I think, where Dean describes Sam going up to a guy... "You're too precious for this world!"
Yeah the bloopers on the dvds are funny, like I guess Jared (sam) has gas issues or at least his farts are awful.
I haven't found the blooper real on any of the disks yet, I might not have bought the good ones, but I'll buy them all once I have got through to the final series they are going to make of it. I hope it never happens because it's the first good series I've started watching in a long time, and I hope they start moving back to some of the creepiness of the first couple series and don't stray into Buffy territory. I'll try and get it all on Blu-Ray extended editions when ever they get that out.
So I invite over some woman I got my sim to flirt about with. Said woman comes over. With a baby in hand.
So things aren't starting off well for my sim. My sim quickly rushes off to bed, good night, leaves her too it. I'm in bed, but she proceeds to stay in my house with kid for another 2 hours, watching TV! My sim eventually gets up, realising that said woman with kid hasn't left. I proceed down stairs and order my sim to ask her to leave.
Does he do that? Oh no.
Instead, he proceeds to pick up the kid woman came with, and RUSH out the door with the kid. He runs around the block behind the fence towards where I placed a tree, and waits there. Woman, somewhat worried that i've rushed away with HER kid, proceeds to run after me, grabs kid from me and says she needs to go.
Skippy, move to the northeast. Move to like Vermont or something where there's just mountains and shit. Nobody even lives there.
I am kinda meh to the east coast
but I will consider it when the time comes
new hampshire?
maine?
man skippy i love the northeast but it is basically the opposite of "I would like to go to a place with mild weather and where my dollars will go a little further so i can think about raising a family"
also unless you move to an actual city the locals will view you, your children, and probably your children's children as interlopers.

non military: you must be a citizen to own anything class 3
What does a class 3 gun look like.
Any firearm capable of firing more then one round per trigger pull. Or any bit that can allow for that. There is a more accurate answer but it's a lot longer and full of legalese. Or the string in the picture.
Yes, I know the ATF eventually reversed itself on the string.
I'm British, I'd have to move to the US, get citizenship, then join the army, then become an automatic rifleman.....

Do I lose citizenship in the UK the though? Also, if I complete my term in the US army, can they call me back into service whenever they like or can I just quit out when I am done? This is purely out of interest sake, I'm hella not doing it... I wouldn't want to join any army that wouldn't allow me the chance to join the SAS.

You do not need citizenship to join the US military.

Wow, so we're to the third game and the Sims still go to sleep with people still in their houses and the guests just hang around.

Denver itself is really liberal, has a couple colleges and is pretty nice. By this I mean Denver county not the suburbs, most of them out there are conservative pricks. Boulder is nice but expensive compared to a lot of other cities. I love Fort Collins, it is the other big college town outside of Boulder. A little more conservative but not as expensive and has some of the best restaurants in the state. Also if you have ever had New Belgium Brewery beer it is made up in Fort Collins. Also intel and hp have big sites there for tech work.

you should send Speaker a PM. He lives in a sleepy little town in New Hampshire that kind of meets what you just said. I don't know that I would call it progressive but it doesn't seem too awfully regressive anyways. You would probably find that it is hard to really get in with the locals (New Hampshire and Maine are especially bad about this), but maybe you don't care too much about that.
I mean I am not really trying to sell Speaker's town or anything, but he might be able to give you some insight as to the actual pros and cons of living in such a place.
what office would I go to at a college to talk to someone about applying there when I've been there before and don't know how to re-apply?
admissions I guess? don't see it on the website.
not sure what registrar refers to exactly.
Registrar is something different. Admissions is a good start. If not there then they will definitely be able to direct you to the correct department. If you're still registered with the school you might just need to set up an appointment with an advisor.

Army Special Forces are based directly on the SAS and do pretty much the same shit.
And no you can't be called back. Once your contract is up you are free.

thanks. I tried to do that but they were like you gotta apply first. but I'm not totally sure who I was talking to so they may have just been trying to brush me off.
gotta just go in there and get some info. thanks again.
Always love taking midterms. The instructor always says "everyone did pretty well, average was >80" and I get it back and it's a 60. Why do I even study for exams? I've never scored well on an exam I studied for.

Thom, what does the string do. It looks like the bolt goes back and when it moves back forward it tugs on the string and causes the trigger to be fired again? Technically making it an automatic?

And no you can't be called back. Once your contract is up you are free*.
*note: a contract is generally for 8 years. typically, you do 4 years active duty and 4 years inactive ready reserve. during your time in IRR you do not train or drill or step foot on a military base, but you CAN be called up if they need you. see: dudes that retired from the army and then got called back to service and sent to the desert.
When I am at work I get a profound sense of purposefulness. The feeling of fulfilling a role and being useful makes me feel completely content. It's pretty much the closest thing I get to happy these days.
So I don't understand why, when I am at home, I feel like shit when I think about going back the next day.
So I invite over some woman I got my sim to flirt about with. Said woman comes over. With a baby in hand.

well it's sort of a misnomer- 'class' refers the licensure of the manufacturer/seller of the weapon(s)
things like suppressors, short barrel rifles, destructive devices (grenade launchers), etc
