Towd, you must have a museum!
Makes one wonder how many total man years it took just for the engraving your collection

Soon they will have facial recognition to cover walking routes

Scary thing is once your car/plate/other identifiable characteristics are queried from a single camera Flock brings up ALL of the cameras passed in their entire system (see map) with date/ time/ direction for possibly up to the previous 30 days. Not only state / local governments can have Flock inst...

I don’t believe the Colorado Killdozer had a clue license plate properly installed. So there would be nothing for Flock to see

I have a map and can easily do a route to my most common destinations without flock cameras. Actually about the same distance.

I dont like them either. Neighbors were going to use a pool pole to put a trash bag over one nearby I haven’t been down that street to see if anyone did it

Flock is a tiny part of the coming surveillance state. Have to ask if ai companies are spending $trillions on multiple 100+ acre data centers for applications that can operate on an average desktop. Phones and cars spew all kinds of realtime data that is combined and sold. Same with credit and debit...

In the event anyone gets a traffic ticket via usps mail that is not legal service, an “officer of the court” must serve you in person. The cases will be immediately dismissed if you contest the service else it sets a precedent.

They are all over my neighborhood
Im not surprised at law enforcement searching them
Here even HOAs have them. A search searches all of the flight ck cameras a particular car has passed so access via an HOA login can search for any plate

Up and running!
Good work
Gee, i can hardly wait until an AI glitch in my bank account

Second the foodsaver
Its been an essential accessory for salmon fishing for years along with an electric carving knife both can run on a 12V to 120V inverter we use it when and where we need it.

Brings back a long held engineering adage:
The final 20% improvement is 80% of total cost
Good enough is good enough

Initially i bought 200 rnds S&B 230gr jhp ($100 / free shipping) and a larger qty of 230gr fmj from my goto online ammo store. After 200 rnds of fmj i was almost always inside 5 in at 25yds. Good enough. Went through half a box of jhp and didnt see any difference.

There are good arguments for all combinations and calibers. In my case compact grips were problematic tried several compacts with my knuckle dragger paws a full size grip was a key factor.

With what I have available the 4in 1911 45 is the best carry choice. Aluminum frame, 8 shot mag. Others full size 1911 9mm, G17 9mm, M&P 9mm. i shoot it the best. Its light with full size grip. Mk I could add a dot but havent.

An interesting take and nearly sound physics. But the kinetic energy = 1/2 mass X (velocity squared). If the bullet is stopped in the target all of the energy is dissipated in the target. If the bullet traverses through the energy dissipated in the target is the entry energy - the exit energy. The m...

From my experience shooting fat Missouri deer with .44 240gr JHP and never once recovering a slug i know lower velocity and larger slug would be more effective. The energy dissipated in the target is energy in - energy out. So the endless debate of lower velocity higher mass 45 compared to higher ve...

Sad news to hear. My sincere condolences to you and all of your family.

I need a good excuse to buy a benchtop mill. Bit i dont think the first project would be a 1911 slide.

vision is my principal impediment to shooting with iron sights. I upgraded the Ruger MKII with a red dot its now a gem. The 1911s are a different story. I am not only near sighted, but have astigmatism in my right eye. I have single vision sunglasses and non-tinted glasses night driving both with as...

SCOTUS has made some significant favorable rulings over the past few years. But if the hard left wins the next round, dumps the filibuster, adds 4 justices, makes PR and DC states guaranteeing 4 Dem or socialist senators gun ownership ends. The law is whatever the supreme says it is. There is no che...

Reminds me of the local post easter peep shoot Peeps on a 2x2. 10 ft to start 10 peeps on on the board 10 shots 2 points peep knocked off the board 1 point peep hit Low score is out at the end of the round Backup 5 ft each new round Continues until only 1 shooter left Everyone uses the same gun a Da...

Now i am re-interested to find the cost to reload .45
I would weigh that vs the cost of everything. I could easily shoot 100rds / week if there was sufficient savings over factory to cover the cost of a basic press and dies in 6months

Phones are a liability but also necessity in some circumstances. Near home i do not take a phone unless it’s needed to navigate which is rare. I also detest the data leaks from apps on the phone. Additionally it pays off on Costco trips as the Mrs cannot call in any additions to the shopping list. A...

As for "call for price", that NEVER works - its GUARANTEED to send me looking elsewhere. It didn't work 30 years ago with paper catalogs, and it doesn't work now. Dont know if Amazon still uses “dynamic pricing” where customer buying habits, zip code, device used to access changed the pri...

No clouds but is that a crow or a UAP scoping your hood?
