True...

"...wind turbines are nothing but prayer wheels for suburbanite Buddhists."
Probably not the answer, just like Tam says, but I do think they're neat to look at...

That being said, the overall idea of cutting back nuke power because of one record setting series of events is plain stupid.  I heard Germany is shutting down a bunch of theirs until they can go over their safety procedures.  Somehow I doubt they'll have the problem of a Top 10 earthquake (5 times stronger than the plants were designed to withstand...) followed by a massive tsunami knocking out the backup generators to deal with.  Overall Japan just happened to get bit by Murphy hardcore, and it's no excuse to hobble your own infrastructure half a world away.

AR Lube Tips

From The Shooter's Log.  My only added comments are that unless you're in a complete dustbowl (like great chunks of A-stan) you really can't run it too wet.  That being said, I tend to just hit the points the article mentions with some good gun grease and blast some CLP in there when it gets gross (which is often... I hate cleaning guns.)
