I have a National NC183R rack mount receiver waiting for repair on my workbench,, along with a Telectro built TS-382F/U Audio Generator that are both older than me. Want real fun? To keep the TS-382F/U looking as original as possible, I remove the oil filled bathtub capacitors, unsolder the lids, and put new caps inside. Solder the lid back on, and put them back in. It is a military version of HP's original 200 series audio generator.
Crawl the site for other electronics parts. :)
GUN CONTROL: A steady grip, aim carefully and squeeze gently so you don't jerk the weapon.
A lot of people young and old joined The Peace Corps because they wanted to help their fellow man not kill him and blow things up. We have an incredible military maned by some of the finest folks you would ever want to meet but their mission is to kill the enemy if necessary. There are people who want to serve their country in some capacity but don't care for death and destruction but have a moral compass that steers in another direction. There are also those like me who tried to join the military but were disqualified on medical grounds. Because someone is a conscientious objector doesn't mean they're a lazy slacker. I do believe a lot of military medics became medics because of their religious beliefs and I doubt if any of them were lazy cowards. ^_^

"in lieu of the recent news"
You mean, place of the recent news?

We'd be a lot safer, if the common man were also armed. The criminals seem to be armed, regardless of any laws.
How about if we require all adults to be armed, and just make it illegal to shoot other people?

We could have used them in CT last year. Lots and lots of downed trees that didn't need much in the way of expertise to move, just warm bodies with chainsaws and come-alongs. Had to move the trees before the power and phone companies could get in to fix the wires.
Not necessarily. The New Deal worked mostly because while just about everybody in the country was broke, the government was solvent. This time the government's as broke as the rest of us.
But he has a point. Classes to teach kids how to work computers are kind of like classes in the '60s to teach kids how to work televisions. The kid probably knows more than the teacher.
And beyond that level how many jobs are there, really?
But then who gets the corporate boot off the citizens' necks, and the socio/psychopaths and criminals out of the executive suites (and the citizens' pockets)?
Adam Smith's invisible hand of the market has evolved into the black hand of the market...
It is only stormin mormon who top posts and changes topic headers. I think he does it to annoy most posters in a.s group, in spite of the fact that he has been repeatedly asked politely to stop doing both.
So then why do you keep changing the subject lines??
It's ironic that you recommend that we can 'group messages by sent date', but you complain about how you don't like to have to scroll down to see the most recent text in a thread post. Do you recognize the irony here?
That is a recipe for fraud. You could put all the safeguards you can imagine in place, and still the material would be defective or not even there.
Well, we already have Americorps:

The water, sprinkler, sanitary and heating pipes can burst if they freeze.
Here the town sent its plows and wheel loader to push them off the road. The articulated loader worked better because it could also lift and pull, and could operate crosswise to the road. IIRC there were 2-3 men with chainsaws breaking down the big trunks. They dumped a pile of the logs in my yard.
A quick search[*] of the BLS site shows 320K "computer programmers" and about half that number of "electrical engineers". However, someone being able to push Excel (etc.) around is a big plus in the job market.
[*] meaning that I don't necessarily believe these numbers - they seem low, particularly the programmers.
How bout for starters, we require annual licensing and training?
Not what I had in mind but now that you brought it up, definitely yes!!!
I'm happy that that worked for you, but some big trees have to be cut before they can be moved. Central Florida is full of old Water Oaks. They have shallow root systems, and the whole damn tree falls, but some roots are still connected. If you push that, the roots come with it and break up sidewalks, foundations and even paved roads. Some not only block the road, but the right of way on both sides of the road.
