Alaskan. Electrical enginerd. Hunter, fisherman, gardener. Ham radio operator.

There is a sweet looking four-runner on mattracks sitting at the park-n-sell. I am going to have change my normal route. I may not have the will power to drive past it twice a day.

Why don't you have a gun shelf above your door to make it more convenient?

It's going in in Anchorage right now.

Everytime the state puts in a traffic light, they put cameras on them. They're internet connected and anybody can look at them to get traffic and weather.

It's just a matter of buying the ALPR software at this point. There is only one road between most places.

If you are worried about automatic license plate readers, just move to Alaska. You can leave your plate covered in snow for 4-5 months out of the year.

They say sixty-five percent of all statisticts are made up right there on the spot. Eighty-two-point-four percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not.

One round, presumably the first, went through the windshield into the vehicle.

Lit like a dumpster fire.

GM.

It's ten degrees outside and blowing 20 mph.

Time to go embrace the frigidity of rugged individualism and snowblow my driveway.

The UK is insane… here you have Idris Elba calling for the removal of *points* from kitchen knives to stop knife attacks…

He also says they should BAN all “heritage knives” and you should need a license to own your grandad’s sword because current “loopholes” allow people to buy ninja swords.

This is the same logic that leftists in the USA use for guns, blaming the guns instead of blaming the people who use them for violent attacks.

Guns don’t kill people.

Knives don’t kill people.

PEOPLE kill people.

Owning a gun is illegal in the UK (with very narrow exceptions). If making guns illegal stopped murder, then the UK wouldn’t proposing blunting knives and making swords illegal. But let’s just say the UK managed to blunt all the kitchen knives and ban all the swords, then what? Will murders stop? Of course not.

What else will they need to ban?

Will automobiles become illegal? After all, you can drive a car into a crowd and cause a lot of carnage.

What about lashing a rock to a stick to make a club?

What about chipping away at that rock to sharpen it to turn it into a rudimentary axe?

What about just sharpening a stick?

What about rubbing a rock against the tip of your blunted kitchen knife until it becomes a sharp point?

What about glass windows? They should definitely be illegal because you can break a window, wrap a piece of cloth around a shard of glass, and voila, you have a knife.

A small minority of people will always use tools to do bad things. Banning those tools doesn’t stop bad people from doing bad things. It just stops good people from using the tools.

(It also leaves citizens completely disarmed and unable to resist the overreach of a fully-armed totalitarian state).

Next they'll ban old files and truck leaf springs because they are knife precursors.

I could go for some terroraki chicken.

The orange pi RV2 has two slots for NVME's.

Just start dropping bombs, you'll know you found Venezuela when the number of fentanyl OD's goes down.

No way, bitcoin is small potatoes in this sphere. All the bitcoin are only worth $2T.

The last Iraq war cost $3T. This nation building expedition will probably end up costing more than that.

Badass. I'd be willing to pay a little extra for him to do it without the use of grenades.

It would be pretty cool if was also calculator, for this type of situation.
