Scott, since you don't seem to get it I'll explain what Iain said. Life sucks. But Jesus says that we should embrace suffering. Since Jesus tells us to embrace[life], we feel less like victims, and more as noble stoics. As such, religion makes you feel better when life sucks. Complicated, no?

Scott, I thought you swore off this forum for life? Spray addiction in its purest form! And whatever Jesus supposedly said, all religious people I know take solace in their religion when shit happens. The Romans shouldn't have killed Jesus, they tried to get rid of the troublemaker and it backfired.

There was a time when you could? Thanks for the jpg Scotty, I luv it!

He's saying that HRoark is a minority culture, and in the interest of being PC we should say he's right so he won't feel bad.

People spontaneously combust. How can you prove it ISN'T true? UFOs land in the Nevada desert to kidnap people. Prove it ISN'T true, and I'll believe you.

"National Association for the Acceptance of Fat" No wonder America is fat.

"Fudgepacking fuckstick??" HRoark, you're getting defensive because your arguments aren't solid.

How do you clip in at a rappel anchor? I find adjusting tight clove hitches is a pain in the ass. I use a daisy backed up with the rope while belaying; I use a daisy alone when I'm hanging at a rap anchor. It's easy to adjust and convenient.

True, but the quality of the photo doesn't matter if you didn't take it. I take many, many more shots now that I've got digital, so I'm more likely to get more good shots. Plus it's cheaper, more convenient, and overall, better. I have no need for film. Then again, I'm not going to be giving slideshows or anything, either.

It's Pope on 'fit to be bolted'.

Those who say that you can't take good action shots with digital are absolutely correct. And that friggin shutter latency! Ferget about shooting a climber, let alone a skier! This was my S50 at full zoom. I prefocused on the cornice, so shutter lag wasn't a problem.

You leave me no choice. I'm sorry.

What, this?

No, actually, if you use gas of the wrong octane you will most likely ruin your engine due to the gas exploding before the cylinder is in the proper position, commonly know as 'knocking'. That is, the piston is still decreasing the volume of the cylinder when the gas explodes, which obviously screws up the cycle. It's the timing, not the force of the combustion.

Thinker, I'm talking conservation of momentum. If the casing of mass M1 moves to the left with speed V1, then the slug of mass M2 will move right with speed V2=M1V1/M2. Elasticity doesn't have much to do with it. It all depends on the mass ratio. Oh, and your surface area argument is severely flawed. The radial forces inside the casing cancel out unless the casing is blown apart. Assuming it is NOT blown apart, the only effective force on the casing is the pressure inside times the area of the cap. Since the pressure on the cap is the same as the pressure on the end of the slug, and since the end of the slug has the same cross-sectional area as the cap, the force on the slug is equal and opposite to the force on the casing.

It really sucks to argue with Issac Newton.

I love physicists who live in the nether realm of theory. He's full of crap! The heavy lead slug will stay put. You're full of crap! The force that moves the casing shrapnel has an equal and opposite force that acts on the slug. The slug will move less, but it will move.

But they're one size fits all, if you wear large boots it'll be a tight fit. I used mine till I lost one.
