Oh, hey look! A 50 page chat thread!

The "c-word" is not capitalized, therefore it is exempt from such 'automatic nuking'.

Sources I listened to say riots are spreading around the world in opposition to lockdowns and 250,000,000 people are at risk of starvation due to economic problems resulting from lockdowns. Something especially for non-US ZSers to pay attention to. I expect to see more of this in the US too if lock...

Europe is going to nation-wide lockdowns.

Has anyone heard from Wee?

From NPR: 360,000 Customers Lose Power In California Amid Fire-Safety Shutoffs

Well, I got the voting part checked off this morning. It was all calm and safe, no protesters (thank God). 12ga ammo is nearly impossible to find in my area right now and stores are limiting purchases to 5 boxes when they do have it. Sheesh. We topped off on food and other supplies this weekend. Sa...

New coffee mug. White with a black AK silhouette.

As others have said, the Market at large might not be a dependable source of parts or replacements in times of trouble; although I'd say the market disruptions follow a fairly predictable pattern, and those parts being more common and cheaper the 3.5 out of 4 years more than makes up for a few mont...

Those little Truppe Special Carcano carbines that have been floating around for the last couple months keep tempting me. So far I've been able to resist by thinking about not wanting to add another caliber....and by stroking my Ishy Bastard Scout. :rofl: https://www.budsgunshop.com/images/hiRes/411...

Armslist (AL): Now that AL is charging for listings & contact, a few things to consider

Just saw this.

Something amusing just occurred to me. At least, it amuses me. A lever-action fed from stick mags. Imagine a brass-and-blued lever action, with a plastic Glock mag sticking out of the bottom. :rofl: I'd think it would need to be a side-feed to not hit the lever against the mag, sort of a lever-acti...

I am honestly not at all afraid of AI that can pass the Turing Test. I would not be surprised if several have not already done so.


That said I would shit my pants over the AI that would intentionally fail the Turing Test.

This^^^

...will always be one of my fav posts

They now have their own propaganda section: Guardian publishes op-ed written entirely by artificial intelligence: ‘I have no desire to wipe out humans’ Yeah, sure you don't... uh-huh. Holy selective edit, Batman. I'm way late to this party, but FOX news left out a huge bit from the original Guardia...

I just glanced at a few things, & it's looking like a good kit. Props

Of course it has to be all Tac'D out

I got my PC9. :clap: Stopped at the local Gebo's farm supply store and for the heck of it, asked if they had one. Sure enough, they did and I got it. 616 dollars later and I'm walking out of the store with my shiny new gun. :D :awesome: ETA: What kind of glass are you going to put on? Or perhaps no...

I don't think it's a binary choice. There's too many factors.

This. Very much this.

Your DG of choice may not be common. Doesn't mean the caliber can't be.

I remember when the shutdown was first starting, one of the first things I saw was a woman's viral post on social media. In it, she tells the story of how she had saved up and started a business, a fitness studio, and gotten it up and running that month-and then BAM, shutdown. And she's tearfully t...

Didn't watch the video yet... But one thing I picked up from traveling and being a nomad, when sleeping with gear, always have it strapped to you. For packs and bags, I always look the straps around my feet or arms, etc. Makes it tougher for the snatch and grab when you're nodding off. When I was i...

What happened at Armslist?!?! My favs are gone!

Subscription model?!

Wait, what?

I got an email from AL. Their trying to keep the scammers out and they are facing a new lawsuit from Brady United. If you use a CC over an ACH it's an extra $3 a month.

The closest thing I have to the video below is my time on the street. I handled it by being decent to all & not being pushed around or run off. However; when it came time to sleep, if I was around anyone I did not know well, I told my friends I was going to find a spot. We would hang out in a fairly...

Maybe set up a barrier where kids can stand about 10 feet from your door. Then throw the candy at them. For high schoolers, throw eggs and toilet paper at them . Don't actually do the last one, but I was a high schooler out in rural America once... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What we're doing for Hallowee...

I had to look up PolyTechs. From two grand to $3,200.
