The Guns Were Said to Be Destroyed. Instead, They Were Reborn.
  • I guess that companies like this one

    adhere to regulations, but it is not unimaginable that there are those who could make the same part and sell it under the table. It's not even a necessity to own a CNC to cut this part out of a block of aluminium, an old-time milling machine and 20 hours worth of training are enough to get the job done.

  • TIL the adjective 'daily' in the lord's prayer is actually written in the original Greek as *epiousion*, which occurs nowhere else in known history
  • If the word was missing from the sentence, then it could be translated as "Give us today our bread and forgive our sins.....".

    Instead, with the word added, it can be translated as "Give us today the bread we need for the day and forgive our sins..... ".

    I guess the significance of the word is in not being greedy and asking from God only what you really need instead of what is "owed" to you?

  • Greek guy here.

    Επιούσιος (e-pi-u-si-os) is a composite word (you can make an astronomical number of composite words in Greek if you want to express a new concept, such as tele-phone) and in this sentence it means that which will nourish us for the day. So daily is quite fitting here.

  • Pretty easy to imagine really.

    Republicans are republicans because either

    A. they are greedy with the money that they have (or imagine they will have in the future)

    B. they are super religious and socially conservative (anti-lgbt etc.)

    C. they are gun nuts

    D. they are racist

    or

    E. they are a combination of the above

    For some people (like the gay conservative group mentioned here), reason A is the most important of all reasons to choose a political party; they also discount the fact that very many people in the republican party have B as an important reason for being republicans themselves. Until moments like this that is...

  • Garak was ready to get himself killed for destroying the Founders and thus preventing the Dominion war. If Worf was 5 minutes late in fact, millions would be alive because of Garak giving his life (and everyone else's on the Defiant) to save them. That's pretty noble in my book.
