Colt makes AR15s. They held the original patent until it expired in the '70s, and then everyone else started making it too.

They really need to allow us to vote both up and down simultaneously for this reason.

The frustrating thing is that when I do see ads, the ad itself plays in higher resolution, and plays more smoothly than the video I’m trying to watch.

Oh man, your comment made me remember my first game that was just like tank wars. I always called it banana wars because you were 2 apes that threw bananas at each other.

Just found it… “QBasic - gorrilas” https://www.retrogames.cz/play_654-DOS.php. So many memories playing this against my dad, punching a hole straight through some buildings at high velocity because he could never figure out how to do adjust his angle and velocity to account for the shifting wind speeds.

About as good of a reason as any other

It’s a lie to just blanketly say “there is no longer any danger of accidentally leaving a gas range open with no flame.” Yes flame failure detectors exist, but (in the US anyway) there is no regulation requiring them, and is usually reserved for the higher end models of modern stoves. The vast majority of existing stoves have nothing more than a simple valve and nothing stopping it from being left open and unlit.

From propaneHQ.com. “It is important to note, however, that if you smell propane at any time in your house, you should take it seriously and take appropriate safety measures.”. Dude you should not just be getting used to the smell of propane. Ferrelgas, Amerigas, & Foster Fuels all say if you can smell it, it is either empty or leaking, but it needs to be shut off either way.
