I'm also RH/LE. I close my right eye and lean my head over. I know it's not how I'm supposed to shoot, but I'm worthless with my left hand. Shooting clays, I put a sticker over my left lens to force my right eye to provide a single image to my brain. It works well for that, but I can't do that with handguns and rifles. From what I've read from the "experts", learning to shoot lefty is the best way to do it, but most guns on the market are righty, so that adds some challenge to an already uncoordinate left hand.

3D gun files pulled due to potential ITAR violation

Who said it has to "look" like a gun? 3D printing...anything is possible. -

Bad Lip Reading did some great ones during the Presidential campaign, but I think this is my new favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4lLJu_-wE&feature=player_embedded

FYI - If anyone wants to search Craigslist using something like www.searchtempest.com for one of these Honda genny's, don't use the model number. Just search for "honda generator". You'll get other results (including cars, boats, ATVs, and cheap generator brands with a Honda motor) that you'll have to filter through, but some people will list an EU2000i as an i2000, 2KW, EU2000, 2000i, small red one, the quiet kind, ...you get the idea. They will all have "honda" and "generator" in the ad. I find that searching Craigslist works best if I keep the search terms as generic as possible.

These are the AR's your friends warned you about.

utility service providers that suck and why

I'm glad I'm not the only one.... -
I see Honda EU2000's going on Craigslist for as low as $550-$600 each. You have to watch for a while to see one of those and grab it quickly, but they're out there.

The product Comcast provides has been excellent. The people I've spoken with are nice. They're either nice idiots or Comcast has some billing software designed by Satan. I have never not once no never ever ever been able to call them and make a change and the billing be done correctly. Without fail they will make the change I requested and add in something else that I didn't request. When I added HD service, I got HD service and 3 additional set top boxes according to my bill....erm....no...I didn't. I called once to report a service outage and ended up with an extra M-Card on my bill the next month. Seriously? I hate calling Comcast because I know that I'll be dealing with the fallout from that call for the next 1 to 2 months. -
Notice that nearly all of those "civilians" had prior military service. My dad wants to be buried there (retired USAF) but I have my doubts there will be room when it's his time to check-in.

Roger that. Honda for the quiet. I was at a car show about a year ago where a guy was running a Generac 2Kw inverter, the one they made to look like the Honda EU2000 and basically claim it's as good. It was almost as loud as a regular generator. I almost tripped over a Honda EU2000 because I didn't hear it over the noise of the Generac 8 cars away. I found a Honda EU6500 on Craigslist for an awesome price. Dude was moving to an apartment and had to get rid of it. I had to go to Knoxville to get it, but it was worth it. I watched Craigslist via www.searchtempest.com for about 2 or 3 months before it finally showed up. I was actually looking for either a couple of EU2000s or an EU3000, but when the EU6500 came up I had to grab it. I still think about grabbing an EU2000 at some point for the portability factor. The Yamaha inverters are reportedly about as quiet as the Hondas and have a broader selection of "sizes".

I think that's urban legend. AFAIK the only non military in Arlington are the Kennedy family, crew of the Challenger, some of the PanAm 103 victims, and Thurgood Marshall. There are also a number of slave graves there marked as 'civilian' or 'citizen' from the land's days as a plantation. I think Charles Le'Enfent is there too. He's the Frenchman who designed the layout of DC.

Sara McLachlan did a commercial for the ASPCA which is different than the SPCA (aka SPCAI). The ASPCA is generally regarded as reputable, runs shelters, etc. It spends a large portion of its income on its actual programs, but like any really big organization also spends a lot of it on fundraising efforts. It's not the best charity in the world, but a far cry better than the crooks at SPCA who are intentionally counting on the average Joe thinking they are the ASPCA. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3286

It isn't. The photo circulates around these here Interwebz claiming it is, but it's not true. Just a pretty girl in front of an as-yet-unknown year of Oldsmobile. My money is on a 1949 Olds 88.

You can sue someone for just about anything, but you won't win that one.

The machine he used for this is a higher end one. I don't recall the name but the MakerBot wouldn't do the job. Something about how the one he uses keeps the plastic at a higher temp necessary for the pressures this thing is going to be put under. I'm not all up to speed on 3D printers, but I think the jist of it is that this doesn't mean you can make one on a cheaper model and have it function...yet. Second, it's not completely 3D printed. In addition to the metal plate added to meet the requirements of needing to be detectable in airport scanners, it also has a metal firing pin. As for the OP's questions: 1) Once the longevity issue can be solved, I'd have no problem with a printed gun part vs injection molded part. 2) Definitely not at the current level. When they are as good or better than what we use today, sure. 3) No. I pay retail because multiple people have used their time, materials and equipment to design it, make it and deliver it. If I'm using my printer with my plastic and my time, I would only be willing to pay for the design efforts. Plans will become open source and crowd-sourced for improvements/perfection, eliminating the need to compensate anyone for their design time. 4) It's a legitimate concern that people who shouldn't have firearms can make them at home, but they can do that today. There's nothing that really stops a criminal from making a firearm now using old-school blacksmithing skills, but it's difficult, time consuming, and expensive. AutoCAD+mil/lathe makes it easier and less time consuming, but still expensive. 3D printing makes it easy, still somewhat time consuming, and cheap. In the end, no regular criminal is going to bother with a 3D printer when they can get a Jennings on the corner for $50. Why waste time and money on some printer, computer, special plastic, learning the software, then risk it blowing up in your hand? Just go steal a real one. The bigger concern to me is someone defeating security check points, especially when multiple parties are working to do so. One perp carries a single bullet past the control point (probably not too hard) while another takes the firing pin and plastic parts, that thanks to limitless design capabilities may look nothing like a traditional firearm (.380 portable DVD player, anyone?). No one piece of metal is enough to set off the detectors, or if it does, is small enough to be hidden in a legit piece of metal (Zippo lighter, steel shanked shoe, jewelry...). Need more bullets smuggled through? Make multiple trips and stash them, or involve more people.
