I am using a Dell Optiplex 380.

HP generic workstation probably 5 years out of date... but somehow still better than my home PC.

The big issue is that it was written 200+ years ago. Maybe people needed guns as part of their daily life back then, but the world has changed a lot since then. They certainly don't need them anymore.

au contraire mon frere! just wait until the hostile alien invasion takes place...then you'll be sorry you don't have an assault weapon

also i maintain the constitution had a typo and they meant "BARE" not "BEAR" because short sleeve shirts were frowned upon by royalty back then

Yeah or the zombie apocalypse. We've still got 6 hours and 40 minutes to go!

Well, jjwankenobi signing off here, en el fin del mundo.

Have a great weekend everyone. Hopefully you're not a peon like me and have to come in to work on Monday.

I bid you and yours:

Merry effin' big robot Christmas!

[kirbenvost]

SANTA CLAUS WILL GET YOU! Haha I was waiting to make a Futurama joke. You stole my thunder(Cracker)!

I am the ultimate peon. I have to work a full shift on Monday too. Then change in to my nice clothes and rush over to Richmond to make nice with my girlfriend's family. Then early to rise Christmas morning so I can fly to Kelowna and get back in time for work Friday morning.

Ah, the life of a lowly clerical worker.

Well you can always kill zombies with anything, just don't get swarmed but if you were swarmed a gun doesn't help much either.

[kirbenvost]

But the only thing nearly as effective would be some form of bladed weapon. Or a crossbow. Lol, I've been watching too much Walking Dead.

So sad... I have to work all the way until Monday but at least I do get 25th - 27th off...
