clip questions

[Sir_William1]

But an "ice box" is a frig, and a clip is not a mag.


so if we really want to pick at things, A Ice box is an old type of box that one would place blocks of ice in to cool down a small area for food storage, A Refringerator is a Insulted box that uses Gas and heat to produce a cooling effect, altho they were designed to do the same thing,They are in fact two differant things. lol had to do it

 

[oneounceload]

We all know what clips means , we all know what magazine means. The grammar nazis are immature children who feel somehow more knowledgeable when they correct others. The terms are interchangeable get over it already.

Wrong answer....and encouraging/enabling incorrect usage is a problem today........would you call a sledge a tack hammer?? They're both hammers.......but wait, they're NOT the same thing

I understand.

A Refringerator is a Insulted box that uses Gas and heat

Very few refrigerators use gas. Some small ones in motor homes do though (Propane). I will buy you a "cold drink" if you can tell me how a gas cooler or A/C works. (Yes, I know)

refrigerator - lol had to do it. (Spelling nazi)

 

[Sir_William1]

ahm all Refrigerators use gas, Freon is a fliud that produces gas when its heated up, as the gas heats up it rises up causing a cooling effect, throgh evaperation, as the gas cools it turns back into a fliud, then repetes itself, (short version) also the little propane ones in trailers and such, only use propane as a means to heat Acohol inside which does the same thing as freon, if you look at those used in trailers, most can use propane or 12volts converted to 110, and most even have a direct 110 input for when you are pluged in, But again all refridgerators use gas, thats why they all (including your Cars) have a part called a evaperator. sorry I was never good at grammer.

 

[CWL]

Yes they are. When multiple words are used to describe an item and everyone understands what they mean they are interchangeable. That has been , is now and will continue to be the case with clip / magazine. As I said get over it already. It's worn out beyond belief.

So when somebody "axes" me a question, do I accept it as proper English, or do I think the person is an uneducated simpleton, throw away his resume and don't give him a job? If you answer the latter, you are right.

 

[Sir_William1]

lol well if some one "axes" me then I guess i wouldn't be around to explain the differance. ::

 

[MT GUNNY]

Who knows what a Jockeybox is?

 

[Dougsboy]

I wonder how many of the "correct grammar gurus" learned the difference between "clip" and "magazine", in this same manner? I know the difference but I call them clips sometimes also. So what?

 

[Sir_William1]

Mt Gunny in my feild a Jockeybox is attached to the side of my truck to hold chains and ropes, but some of those southern folks, Like my dad would call a Glove box a Jockeybox, I'm sure other feilds have differant defitions for them, what do you call a Jockeybox

"Just because most people understand something does not make it right. That’s what is wrong with modern America. “It is o.k. that you are ignorant, we will just force the smart people to change.”

The terms are interchangeable and you know it, get over yourself already. Many things are wrong with this country, people using clip instead of mag is not one of them. It has been said before but is well worth repeating when a WWII vet uses the term clip to describe a combat experience do you feel that you have the need to correct their "ignorance" about firearms?




BTW no one is trying to force you to change or use the term clip, just stop being so pompous because others choose to.


"Wrong answer....and encouraging/enabling incorrect usage is a problem today........would you call a sledge a tack hammer?? They're both hammers.......but wait, they're NOT the same thing"

If I walked into a hardware store and asked to buy a hammer I would specify which type I wanted. When I left the store I would have a hammer in my bag regardless of what type of hammer it is, it is still a hammer.

If I walked into a gun store and asked to buy a mag/clip I would specify for what type of firearms. When I left the store I would have a mag/clip in my bag regardless of which type of gun it was for it would still be a mag/clip.

As soon as the terms mag/clip start to cause confusion in society when they are used let me know.

Grammar nazis, gotta love them......

 

[Dougsboy]

My Dad used to call a car glove box a pidgeon hole and the trunk of a car a turtle back.

 

[Sir_William1]

Oh I totaly forgot about the trunk, My dad always called the trunk, the jug hole, its were he would put the Moon Shine he hauled, (back in the day Of course) in his later years he would make his freinds come pick up the jugs at the shop, No more Deliveries.

It has been said before but is well worth repeating when a WWII vet uses the term clip

If they were shooting a Garand, they WERE using clips......folks who profess knowledge, but continue to use incorrect terms, show their ignorance.....doesn't matter what the subject matter is..........

 

[Ruggles]

"So when somebody "axes" me a question, do I accept it as proper English, or do I think the person is an uneducated simpleton, throw away his resume and don't give him a job? If you answer the latter, you are right."



I hate to have to axe as I am sure it will make me look like a uneducated simpleton but how does this relate to the point being discussed? Are you stating that someone who uses the term clip is a "uneducated simpleton" when it comes to firearms?

Trend carefully my friend.....

 

[oneounceload]

Trend carefully my friend.

I assume you mean "TREAD".......

 

[Ruggles]

"If they were shooting a Garand, they WERE using clips......folks who profess knowledge, but continue to use incorrect terms, show their ignorance.....doesn't matter what the subject matter is.........."

Well of course those Garand using vets were great, but those carrying M1 Carbines, Thompsons, 1911s, Grease guns and the like that used the term clip were a bunch of ignorant fools when it came to firearms. I mean other than using them in combat to secure the future of freedom what could they possibly know about firearms....



You guys are weak at best when you try and push you little clip/mag point down everyone's throat.


Interchangeable, get over it.

 

[Ruggles]

"I assume you mean "TREAD"....... "

Well you did prove my spell checker wrong, that's something to hang your hat on.....

 

[REAPER4206969]

Are you stating that someone who uses the term clip is a "uneducated simpleton" when it comes to firearms?

Correct.

 

[oneounceload]

You guys are weak at best when you try and push you little clip/mag point down everyone's throat.

I'm sorry you're happy in your ignorance....whatever

"Quote:

Correct."

Good to know, I have a Marine Corps League meeting next Sunday, I have me some Korean war vets to educate! Those ignorant fools, can you help me educate them away from their combat learning of firearms by using your mighty keyboard?

I can only assume someone such as yourself who would denounce 100s of thousands if not millions of lifelong firearms users as "uneducated simpletons" because they use the term clip must be the most knowledgeable firearm person on Earth.

[Sir_William1]

know what you get when you (assume) things, you make a A** of U and ME, lol does it really matter that much, whats the differance between Barrel's and Mussles, as long as they both are pointing in a safe direction.

 

[Walkalong]

ahm all Refrigerators use gas, Freon is a fliud that produces gas when its heated up,

Sorry, incorrect.

Freon is a gas at atmospheric pressure. It is mechanically manipulated to transfer heat.

I see now what you meant. I thought gas (as in natural or propane) and you meant gas as in a gaseous state. Ammonia systems use burning gas to boil (evaporate) the ammonia to take in heat so it can be transferred outside.

Freon systems use mechanical means to evaporate freon to take in heat so it can be transferred outside. (by mechanically induced condensing)

So, you are half right. I will still buy you a cold drink.

 

[Sir_William1]

Walkalong: you may wish to Google it your self But heres the Long Version for you.

Today's Refrigerators
Modern refrigerators don't use CFC because CFCs are harmful to the atmosphere if released. Instead they use another type of gas called HFC-134a, also called tetrafluoroethane. HFC turns into a liquid when it is cooled to -15.9 degrees Fahrenheit (-26.6 degrees Celsius).

A motor and compressor squeezes the HFC. When it is compressed, a gas heats up as it is pressurized. When you pass the compressed gas through the coils on the back or bottom of a modern refrigerator, the warmer gas can lose its heat to the air in the room.

Remember the law of thermodynamics.

As it cools, the HFC can change into a liquid because it is under a high pressure.

The liquid flows through what's called an expansion valve, a tiny small hole that the liquid has to squeeze through. Between the valve and the compressor, there is a low-pressure area because the compressor is pulling the ammonia gas out of that side.

When the liquid HFC hits a low pressure area it boils and changes into a gas. This is called vaporizing.

The coils then go through the freezer and regular part of the refrigerator where the colder liquid in the coil pulls the heat out of the compartments. This makes the inside of the freezer and entire refrigerator cold.

The compressor sucks up the cold gas, and the gas goes back through the same process over and over.
