I imagine we’d want the infrastructure in place for the replacement government to get their economy rolling again as soon as the old one gets torn down.

They’ve whittled it down some by removing prop 13 protections on inherited property you don’t live in. It’s a shame because it hurts people attempting to build generational wealth for their families to inherit. It was painted as a way to increase the housing supply but the ones who will benefit...

If nothing else, it means trouble for the Iranian regime. Hopefully Turkey doesn’t do anything stupid. They get jumpy over anything the Kurds do.

I think the snake bandages are a type of compression bandage.

I wasn’t familiar with those and had to look them up. They seem to be recommended against in the US for pit viper bites but could be used for coral snakes. Interesting.

Also, I’m new to building kits so I’m open to recommendations on modifying my own.

Here’s a kit I only recently put together for family camping trips. It’s based on the list in the BSA fist aid merit badge for a troop/patrol kit. In addition to that list I also have some medications with obvious outdoor applications like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, low dose aspirin...

It’s so tiresome.

Just trying to keep this discussion safari related. ;)

Good strategy. Piss off every other country but the one attacking you.

It’s called multi tasking pal. No reason your personal grudge can’t also feed the village. ;) Think of it like shooting an elephant you have a personal beef with. :D

I’m more of an “edge of an erupting volcano guy” but that sounds more realistic.

Unless it’s one top of a partially finished skyscraper, why bother? ;)

I think it could have been an elective and then it would have been fine. Making it required was virtue signaling and turned it into a partisan issue.

I’d agree but I also wasn’t the one that decided we needed a merit badge about dei in response to blm and that it should also be required to earn Eagle Scout. Liberals have been aggressively working politics into BSA for the last 30 years. You should see the histrionics on Facebook scout groups...

For my fellow Scouters who have had concerns about the direction Scouting in the US has been going as well as the executive order effecting the department of war’s relationship with scouting, I just received an email from BSA detailing their new agreement with the DoW. A key point for me is...

It’s funny to see that this is the one thing congressional democrats and republicans seem to share. Money really does talk.

Ironic since they removed a statue of Lincoln in Boston in 2020 that celebrated the emancipation of slaves.

I was thinking that it was something similar, along the lines of having a serial number added to the bolt to match the rifle.

Individual freedom includes making others foot the bill? Canada didn’t simply legalize suicide, it incorporated it into its publicly funded health service. One has the freedom to hang themselves but it’s not reasonable to expect others to provide the rope.

In Canada? Nobody, since it ended in 1998. Now, instead of killing convicted criminals, you just pay to kill old and sick people. Bravo. But to address your greater point, I’d happily end the death penalty in the US if it meant that the abortion industry never received another penny of my tax...

Oh I’m certain of that. As Ford said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.” Including your life.

No, I absolutely object to it outright on moral grounds and because of that, forcing others to pay for murder is morally unconscionable. I can appreciate the argument some here have made about their gravely ill relatives dying of painful, incurable, and fatal diseases, even if I don’t agree on...

And where do the tax-payers paying for the death of that young man fit into things? That case seems a far cry from the “death with dignity” argument some here have made with reference to relatives dying from incurable cancer or degenerative brain disease. Their body, their choice. Let them pay...

Oh wait…

It’s been more than twenty years since the invasion of Afghanistan, four presidents have come and gone, and an entire generation (in both Europe and the US) has come of age since then. I’m not saying I necessarily agree with Brent but I think we have to be careful making predictions based on...

They certainly have their priorities straight, don’t they?

Ethics aside, a rental is a business arrangement and it would probably be best to have those questions answered ahead of time. It seems like it would be easy enough to clarify that the rifle rental fee covers normal wear but that the client would be responsible for any excessive damage caused...

“I am a mining historian with a PhD so I know something about how the industry works… Oh and yeah, I worked in an aluminum plant for six years.” Can someone pick up that phone? Because I freaking called it.

You don’t have to. They bring it up at every opportunity.

It’s amazing that in addition to being an expert in policing and most other subjects, OH is also an expert in materials production and knows more than the company that’s actually building the plant. Must be one hell of a doctorate.

What are we, adults? ;)

"To merely have a weapon in the presence of another is not intent," said Routh, who fired his attorneys ahead of the trial and had represented himself. Gomez Addams said it best:

Yeah, these rioters aren’t the good guys.

Ethnic cleansing…

I suspect that the Venn diagram for people who favor strict firearm regulation and those who don’t want you to hunt “innocent endangered animals in Africa for trophies” has significant overlap. I doubt many of them care whether their ban would effect your ability to hunt in Africa and for many...

More UK shenanigans.

Which direction were they leaning? Generals think it’s a bad idea and get fired?
