  1. Nachos with a side of enchilada.
  2. First real sit this season. Saw a young 8 pt and let him live to get some doe pussy. Not much in the way of any other movement. Oh well. Peace and quiet and crickets starting to chirp up atm.
  3. If not for all the history, it would make some measure of sense to roll WB and a Gaza strip that could be made contiguous (river to the sea oh noes) under temporary Jordanian protection/administration as a bridge to sovereign independence. But Arab geopolitics gonna Arab geopolitic so that will never fucking happen.

    How narrow is the error window for the auto detonation of the rockets. I mean like is that shit just on ultra tight guardrails and first sign go boom.
  5. Did we ever find out what was down the tunnel that was paraded about on video? Looks like septic. Did they find anything like this?
  6. Well that’s a fucking bullseye. if we were serious about pressing a pause or a ceasefire maybe we would slow the roll on the nearly daily arms deliveries and force the issue. But we aren’t. Decency and we the people or some shit.
  7. The last tweet is a horribly written survey item, and the results seem to demonstrate it.
  8. Man, it feels like everything is stupid expensive right now. I kept up with BAT, a few niche dealers, and this site: https://classiccars.com Ended up finding a dealer listing that started from searching cc.com. Passed on a few auctions at BAT that I kick myself now for, just cause everything has gotten so over the skis.
  9. 90% of NICS queries clear within minutes. The majority of the remaining clear within the delay period, a small percentage fail to clear during the delay period. NICS is not intended to be a registry, it is intended to facilitate a background check in a timely manner. To the extent that the right data are loaded into the system, it does that job reasonably well. Where there are gaps in data feeds, for example from mental health authorities, those gaps are particularly problematic. Lots of examples of data connection deficiencies. Those need to get fixed. Retention time for the records is a different matter. Seems that the retention time should be sufficient to facilitate prosecution of offenses related to lying on the form. Denied transactions are retained by ATF for 10 years, and then transferred to FBI for longer-term retention. The statute of limitation is 5 years for lying on a federal form. If you want a registry, that is a different discussion, but that is not necessarily an indictment of the NICS functionality.
  10. All the NICS checks that I have had recently conducted, as well as a form 4, have been through eForms transactions that are all digital. You're talking about going back and scanning all the old paper 4473s and that seems like a waste of time and money to me. The NICS system has numerous flaws that can and should be fixed, wasting energy scanning decades old pieces of paper seems like a distraction from more useful reforms.
  11. Curious what year this was, because this would be yet another ridiculous failure of the NICS system if this story is anywhere close to accurate.
  12. What did they find down the tunnel shaft?
  13. I don’t care what cause you are protesting, you are a fucking asshole if you are blocking roads and preventing people from going about their business.
  14. What do the cops have to do with this?
  15. The box of dates laid out on the table is a nice touch. Get some halal salami and cheeses to make a board and it’s a closed case.
  16. Didn’t they publish videos that purported to indicate the entrances to the underground HQ a week or so ago?
  17. Dr. King didn't handwave the toxic role of the American political power structure and its foreign policy by saying silly things like "as long as decency matters, the Deep State lives." In fact the Riverside speech you quote from was a direct confrontation of the militaristic corruption of the American political complex; what some people who are so inclined might refer to a core component of the "Deep State". And he was called a communist sympathizer and a traitor for it. Which sounds a bit familiar. If you want to talk about a true revolution of values, I am all for it. But what you are doing isn't that, it's holding concepts and elements of our political system that rightfully deserve consistent criticism in front of a circus mirror and barking out "decency is the Deep State" for rhetorical purposes to undermine those criticisms. But again, thanks for tagging me in on the experience.
