Sexual dimorphism is where the two distinct forms differ along gender lines.
Most complex life on Earth is sexually dimorphic. Including humans.
This fact, beyond all others, is why nearly all women aren't going to ever pass an honestly run Marine Infantry Officer's course, Ranger School or BUDS. Men and women are simply different, and it's no human created bias that makes it so, it's simply nature. Evolution.
Why are these courses set up the way they are?
Mostly because the product of these schools have mostly been successful. That's why most traditions stand, they appear to work.
Which brings us to the goal of such schools. What is the goal of the Marine Infantry Officer's Course? If it's to make good officers for Marine infantry, you've got to prove that any change you make won't affect the output.
The standards of these schools were come to organically. They developed slowly over time. Is it possible that an officer who cannot pass the PT test is a good leader? Sure! But if you dig back you're going to see that there's a correlation between physical fitness and leadership acumen. Perhaps not a causal relationship, but a real relationship nonetheless.
What we're doing with Ranger school is making changes so that the girls can physically pass it, without regards to the graduates being good Rangers. Odds are they won't be. At present they won't be going to a Ranger or infantry battalion. It's literally just promotion points to them.
Promotion points.
Career enhancement.
Sick that the boys in combat arms are always promoted faster and higher.
Without regard that there could be a solid reason for that. The boys in supply and JAG don't get those promotions either. Almost as if it's been proven that combat arms, infantry in particular, breeds the officers you want in charge of your army when there's shooting going on. Combat arms is someplace that women are presently banned from, so they're banned from the big chairs by design.
That link up there points out the physical problems about women in combat arms that's going to prove insurmountable. It's not just the grunts with physically demanding work. The example cited is loading the main gun round; but that's not even close to the hardest physical job on a tank. I'd be curious to see how long a team of four women takes to break track on an Abrams.
Over and over the specter of upper body strength surfaces and it's simply dimorphism that's the underlying problem for combat. It's a form of The Cold Equations and wishful thinking and good intentions won't change them.
Changing the standards only for the women and just so that they can pass is a disservice to everyone involved and is far more sexist than applying the existing standard to all comers.

Mercenary Econ 101
A staple of the Third Imperium is the 800 dTon Type-C Mercenary Cruiser, personified by the Broadsword class.
In Book 2 it's MCr445.95. That's a monthly payment of Cr 1,858,125.
In GURPS: Traveller, it's more affordable, MCr 222.912 with a Cr 928,800 payment.
In both versions it can carry about a platoon.
The problem surfaces that a platoon, in garrison duty, pulls about Cr 60,000 plus expenses, and your ship payment is not a valid expense.
Because Broadswords have 4x3 Beam Laser and 4x3 Missile turrets, they're pretty decent at ortillery (orbital artillery) and the two modular cutters allow a fast insertion of the platoon from orbit.
To make book the owner of a Broadsword is going to have to do a lot more than garrison duty.
The cruiser title is misleading. While there's an age of sail definition for cruiser that simply means that it can operate unsupported and autonomously, a Type-C is really a corvette. It's jump 3 and nearly 3g of acceleration (in GT) mean that while it can't keep up with The Fleet, it's fast enough to get where it's needed in a minimum amount of time.
It's got enough armament to stand off against a Type-T Patrol Cruiser, maybe two or even a System Defense Boat. Clever selection of cutter modules could add some fighters to the mix as well. For an extreme example one troop module, one weapon module and two small craft modules gives enough to land the platoon in one cutter, a spare cutter for support with a turreted weapon and four Iramda fighters.
Striker and Commando tickets pay best and are "success only" paid on completion. What you need to do is find conflicts that require multiple tickets over a short period of time. Most of these tickets pay salary plus a bounty, which is between Cr 200,000 and Cr 300,000. So four or five of those a month should do to make the payments.
The thing is, these things aren't really bought and paid for new on credit.
As it says in LBB Supplement 9, "The [mercenary] cruiser design was specifically commissioned by the Imperium, and examples are used by independent military organizations operating with Imperial approval."
First of all that means there's surplus and used ships available.
Second, they're likely subsidized much like a Subsidized Merchant or Liner. 50% of the profits go to the Imperium for 40 years, they make the monthly payment for the full 20. The owner pays other expenses and maintenance. Good thing longevity is common in Vilani stock, is a dominant gene, and there's been lots of interbreeding with Solomani descended Imperials.
You'd think that mercenaries operating inside a nation is something a government couldn't tolerate, but the Imperium has a long stated policy that it only owns the black. The worlds are left to govern themselves and can squabble among themselves rather freely as long as traffic is not unduly disrupted. Licensed mercenaries tend to discourage the expense of a standing army, after all, why pay a continuous price for maintaining an army when you can rent one for a lot less?
Mercenaries tend to be more highly skilled and better equipped than local armies as well.

Um Yeah About That
I feared there'd be some own goal blaming going on about the recent ATF give and take.
Let's call the SB15stock brace what it is. It's a stock.
How did I come to this conclusion where someone at ATF missed it?
Three words. Carbine. Receiver. Extension. (also known as a buffer tube).
Prior to SIG putting theirstock brace on the market ATF had been consistent that for your AR to be a pistol had have never been assembled as a rifle EVER and it needed to have a pistol receiver extension on it; not a carbine or rifle extension. A carbine extension without a stock made it an SBR instantly.
What kind of extension does the SB15 use?
ATF is known to be mercurial and contradictory but something is well known, a letter from Tech Branch only applies to the person it is addressed to. If I have a letter stating it's A-OK to put a <16" barrel on my AR as long as the overall length is >26" without a stamp, it doesn't apply to you. This too is well known. Without that letter you've no recourse when you're busted (and even then that letter might do you no damn good).
So when they ruled SIG's gun to be a pistol with thestock brace people wanted to be sure and they wanted to have a letter with their name on it, because one written to SIG doesn't help them unless SIG made the entire gun.
A massive deluge of letters really told Tech Branch they'd let SIG make legal SBRs without paying the taxes.
I know lots of you are unhappy that they noticed the loophole they'd created and closed it. It sucks.
But the reason that all those letters asking for clarification were written was to avoid ten years in a Federal pound you in the ass prison.
Let's also be honest, ATF would eventually have noticed and removed the approval from people shouldering the things in videos on YouTube anyways. No matter what SIG claims, the damn thing is a stock; you know it's a stock; you were going to use it as a stock and you're actually upset that they noticed.
If you really, really need to be pissed off and do something. Calling your congress-weasel is something. You should do that!
Getting irate on the phone to your congress-weasel and demanding the stupid law be changed would probably go a lot farther than blaming your fellow gun owners for knowing ATF well enough to be prudent before proceeding with a SBR pistol build. While you have them on the phone be sure to demand that they take back their legislative authority from the executive branch agency that is the BATFE.
The real blame is with the authors of the NFA, the 73rd Congress who voted for it, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who signed it, the the authors of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, the 90th Congress who voted for it and President Lyndon B Johnson who signed it and the people at ATF who have been pulling rulings out of their asses for decades.
It is especially galling about that 1968 act in that it "corrected" a supreme court ruling that essentially voided the 1934 act! Interestingly, Haynes is why we really don't have any prosecution of felon in possession.

Their last press release seems to be from 25 July 2014 with "expected" resumption of production in October 2014. I've heard nary a whisper about them returning to market and it's still scoured from their website.

Judging by how much George Takei I'm hearing about this and how often I'm bumping into the picture, I think Colt has a winner if they can keep the price under $800.

Oh Colt...
More pictures of that 1903 Pocket Hammerless have surfaced. Looks like it's going to be a genuine 1903 Pocket Hammerless.
While I applaud the decision to make more, I have to wonder if they considered that they're competing with a rather large vintage market.
If I can get a vintage one for less than a new one, well... the people who're the target demo here are the people who'd buy an old one.
A quick check of Gunbroker says that $800 for a new parkerized one should do OK against $1,500 for a vintage blue one in near new shape. Until you notice that there aren't any bid for any of the .32's in that search; not even the $500 well loved one.
Dammit, Colt, I want you to succeed! But I don't think another boutique handgun is going to get you there.

Common Problem
The Lovely Harvey's 2002 Civic EX sedan, formerly my Mom's 2002 Civic EX sedan has been throwing a code P1361 (Intermittent TDC Sensor Fault) and going into limp mode.
Because it's intermittent, it was a pain in the ass to nail down the cause. P1362 is the steady fault.
It boils down to two causes, sensor isn't getting voltage because of a something wrong in the wiring harness and a bad sensor.
Yesterday I cracked things open and replaced the sensor. The process of exposing the sensor also exposes the wiring loom so as an intermediate step I checked the voltage to the connector while moving the loom every which way. Voltage was steady so I proceeded to remove the sensor and replace it.
This job entails removing all four coils, the wiring harness, disconnecting and removing about five brackets that hold hoses for the AC and power steering, taking off the "valve" cover and unbolting the the power steering pump to flop around on its lines. Once all that is done you can get to the plug and cover over the sensor.
The first steps of reassembly would have been greatly simplified if Honda had not placed a giant cube of an antilock brake system right on top of the fender in the way of being able to see into the spot where the sensor sits. You have to flail around trying to line up the sensor with the tips of three fingers in a tight space until you accidentally get the locating pin in its hole with the bolt hole lined up. It's very frustrating because in 2001 and earlier there's no ABS module in the way so this part is actually easy!
The same routine follows when you try to plug the sensor back in.
But once those irritations are done, it goes back together pretty simply.
The next problem was the car coming home from Iowa leaking oil everywhere.
Ancient seals be ancient and the exposure to winter cold was too much for them. Since I had the "valve' cover off, that was an ideal tim to replace that gasket and then once that was done I replaced the "valve" cover end plug. The plug is a plastic cup with an o-ring in it. The o-ring was flat and hard as a rock, and there was much evidence that this was the cause of the leak.
Getting to this plug means getting the EGR valve off and and back on and that would have been simple except the tool clearance is just for 1/4" drive sockets and you can't get your fingers on the nuts to start them on their studs. A lot of fiddling with a snitchy-grabber got things going and back in place.
Sadly, breaking loose the final bolt on the EGR killed the 1/4" drive ratchet I'd had since my first Camaro (part of a 200 piece mechanic's kit) in 1991. Go Craftsman lifetime warranty! Sadly (again) Sears no longer makes that model of ratchet so I came home with one of a different style. The dead on had the selector in the center of the head and a knurled ring that let you turn the whole thing. It came in handy a few times. The new one is what I think of as an older style with the selector down on the handle and a release button in the center of the head. The old style is generally better since the head is smaller and slimmer and it's most definitely stronger.
Comparison in 3/8" because they kept the broken 1/4".

Retort From My Edjewmachayshun
1. “When shoppers see persistent price declines, they hold out on buying things. They ask, will I get a better deal next week, next month, next year? As a result, consumer spending flails. For most nations, that’s a big chunk of their economy, and any slowdown in consumption threatens growth.”
Actually that's only true for something that's purchased with price sensitivity or where demand is sufficiently elastic.
People don't hold out on lots of things as the price falls, they buy when they run out on consumables and price isn't always a driver for a purchase.
Cell phones get better and better and are generally getting cheaper, yet very few people really wait for the price to drop. What waiting they do is based on contract expirations or the expectation of the next hotness.
Even with waiting for the price to drop...
If the demand is inelastic, a lower price means MORE purchasing not less.
The only commonplace item where he's right is gasoline. People top up a lot more when prices are climbing, making more but smaller purchases; and they wait for the tank to be dry before filling when prices are falling, making fewer but larger purchases. However, they purchase just as much gas regardless.

Cutter Handling
The Broadsword class mercenary cruiser carries two 50 dton modular cutters and two spare modules for them.
Looking at the deck plans...
The cutter must be ventral surface in to accept a module from the storage area. Likewise the modules must be oriented the same way.
The problem is the air locks on the cutters won't face in on C-deck. Rotating the cutter in its tube 90˚ fixes the problem. The large doors that access the module well also require the module be rotated to align.
It's just a detail that's accounted in the times given for module handling in Adventure 7: Broadsword.

Enter cutter well- five minutes.
Leave cutter well- five minutes.
Detach module in free space- two minutes.
Attach module in free space- five minutes.
Detach module in cutter well- two minutes.
Attach module in cutter well- two minutes.
Move cutter from orbit to world surface- twenty minutes.
Move cutter from world surface to orbit- twenty minutes.
The process is somewhat automated with a guide and alignment system that captures the cutter and pulls it into the well. The same machinery will align the cutter with either the access hatches or module storage.
This machinery is controlled from the bridge of the Broadsword.
One neat thing about this machinery if the spare module is a small craft bay (GT: Modular Cutter p. 57) or fighter pod (GT: Modular Cutter p. 49) the module can be rotated so that the doors line up with the cutter well and the small craft or fighters contained in the pods can launch through the cutter wells.
