Taking my youngest to the range can be more expensive than taking the wife out for dinner but both are worth it.

Make your own and it’s cheaper…at least that’s how I justified all the reloading stuff to my wife! And of course I don’t factor in equipment cost to the cost per round - I don’t need that kind of math in my life!

Once flew with a dude that took reloading a step further than usual and made his own primers; chemicals, anvils, etc.

[brabus]

Wow, I don’t know a single person who makes their own primers. That’s impressive…and short of full anarchy/Armageddon, below the cut line for me.

You know, That's actually an interesting point. A much more effective and effort-efficient way of prepping would be to make sure you have a bunch of books that describe how to do the things that you only need to do if shit really goes to hell in a handbasket. Like the chemistry of making primers.

 

99% chance you never read the books, but for a couple hundred bucks you could probably put together a pretty extensive survivalist library.

 

I'm going to have to add that to the project board. 🤣😂

The Biden DOJ just sued Tennessee for making it a crime to knowingly transmit AIDS. 🤡

The article doesn't give much detail, but if the legislation distinguishes between someone with a viral load and someone who has taken the appropriate medication to suppress their infection, then I don't see the problem.

 

The laws and approach in general to AIDS have to adapt to the medical reality that this is now a manageable disease. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be disclosure obligations, but it's not as simple as claiming that HIV is a death sentence and as such giving it to someone else is akin to attempted murder.

The lawsuit is amusing.  On ADA grounds it is claiming that "knowingly engaging in prostitution with HIV" as an aggravating factor (essentially bumping up to a sexual assault) is discriminatory against a person living with HIV.  While side stepping that this particular disability is contagious.

Regardless, an equivalence to sexual assault (what the Tennessee law does) is akin to attempted murder criminally.

Sounds like treason.....

[brabus]

Screams not credible and fake. Yes the implication is possible, and we know governments (including ours) do illegal spying, but this specific letter is very likely complete bullshit.  Clinton, Obama, etc. are absolute dishonest, garbage humans, but that doesn’t make this letter real.

I like Matt Taibbi'a reporting, and it sounds like this is going to be the beginning of a series of stories exposing the entire Russiagate hoax.

CIA Had Foreign Allies Spy On Trump Team, Triggering Russia Collusion Hoax, Sources Say

• United States Intelligence Community targeted 26 Trump advisors for foreign spy agencies to “reverse target” and “bump”

Many Reporters Paid for Covering the Russiagate Story

• Media figures who exposed illegal surveillance, manufactured intelligence, and other abuses in the Trump-Russia investigation almost always paid a price

That's his battle cry for the afterlife?   "Free Palestine!"

What a loser.   It's better to set other things on fire, like a pile of wood at a campsite or a group of terrorists in a school bus.  

The Avengers still want him to know he's kicked out.

Who had this on their bingo card? Knowing how senior leadership overreacts, I can see all items that can light a fire in the BX removed from the shelfs and shutting down the gas station. Why is he not wearing a reflective belt? Yes, I have no sympathy for this moron.

Terrible end for a clearly disturbed person. Obviously had no business near a commission or a security clearance.
