I guess that companies like this one

adhere to regulations, but it is not unimaginable that there are those who could make the same part and sell it under the table. It's not even a necessity to own a CNC to cut this part out of a block of aluminium, an old-time milling machine and 20 hours worth of training are enough to get the job done.

The gag reel from this scene is hilarious!

Greek guy here.

Επιούσιος (e-pi-u-si-os) is a composite word (you can make an astronomical number of composite words in Greek if you want to express a new concept, such as tele-phone) and in this sentence it means that which will nourish us for the day. So daily is quite fitting here.

Pretty easy to imagine really.

Republicans are republicans because either

A. they are greedy with the money that they have (or imagine they will have in the future)

B. they are super religious and socially conservative (anti-lgbt etc.)

C. they are gun nuts

D. they are racist

or

E. they are a combination of the above

For some people (like the gay conservative group mentioned here), reason A is the most important of all reasons to choose a political party; they also discount the fact that very many people in the republican party have B as an important reason for being republicans themselves. Until moments like this that is...
