It looks like we're safe... for now.... they can't even get a SMART gun to fire two rounds in a row... "Smart gun" can't fire two rounds consecutively ....."However, there are problems with these kinds of firearms. We all know it. I’ve talked about a few of them. One of the big ones is reliability. The more whizzbangs you put in a device, the higher the likelihood of failure becomes. Last week, we lambasted reports of a new “smart gun” that Reuters raved about in a glowing “exclusive.” Reuters reporter Daniel Trotta wrote that the third-generation prototype fired “without issue” during a live-fire demonstration for investors and the media. Now though, additional footage of the event has since surfaced that shows the LodeStar Works gun couldn’t manage to fire two rounds without an issue during one of the exercises. Whoops. We can clearly see the shooter state he’s going to fire two rounds. He fires one, then pulls the trigger several more times, only the weapon doesn't fire. Yeah, that’s the reliability thing we were talking about. https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2022/01/21/smart-gun-cant-fire-n54682

WOW..... I was actually wondering about that, how much stuff was still on ships? There should be some great Xmas sales.... at Easter...

This was target. I usually go to petsmart but they were pretty bare too. I have about 2 months supply, maybe a lil more but I'm trying to push that to about 4 to 6 months. Petsmart was telling me they just unloaded pet Halloween costumes a week or two ago. That should give you some perspective of how much crap is on ships.

Stock up on pet food. Alot of the good brands are disappea

There really should be a "National Flog A Car Engineer Day". Jus' sayen. One of my friends who wrenches on his own vehicles had a Ford Edge. He had to change the water pump. It was in some absurd place INSIDE the engine (as he explained it). I guess automobile engineers thing NOBODY works on their own vehicles these day so who cares where we put stuff! Well, some people do work on their own vehicles and mechanics still have to work on them! How about using some logic when building these things! Another reason I like older vehicles. They are generally easier to work on yourself.

I got my life membership back when it was on special for $300. They haven't seen a dime since though. So i'm not canceling my card.

It sucks when your range requires a membership...

Just don't start dressing like her, and you'll be good to go.

this is why i have been thanking my grandmom every night. when i saw empty shelves at the beginning of the panic, it made me think of her and how she'd always had shelves and shelves of food well ahead of time. i am channeling my grandmom since last year.

The thing is, this is business as usual for TPTB. They don't care if it gets struck down in a few years. They can change the law way faster than the courts will act. You saw a great demonstration of that when NY mooted the last case that eventually made it to SCOTUS. Unless, or until the politicians are made personally responsible for their unconstitutional actions the same story will repeat ad infinitum.

yea. the waterpump's behind the timing cover. there's a passage that's supposed to route the coolant outside the engine when the pump leaks(and it will), but that hardly ever works. the same dept that owns this tahoe that i'm working on had to have a waterpump done on an explorer. thankfully it was still in warranty. the engine has to come out to do that pump.

Just another dot.... DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Asks Residents to Begin Voluntary Rationing of Food at Grocery Stores DC Mayor and COVID Compliance Minister, Muriel Bowser, asks residents in/around her region to enter a phase of voluntary rationing. What comes after the voluntary phase is the part many have been studiously preparing to avoid.

Hope no one is waiting on a delivery from Canada or Mexico: US To Close Borders To Unvaccinated Canadian, Mexican Truckers On Saturday The U.S. will close its borders to unvaccinated and partially vaccinated Canadian and Mexican truck drivers on Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday. “These updated travel requirements reflect the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to protecting public health while safely facilitating the cross-border trade and travel that is critical to our economy,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.  The border COVID-19 vaccine mandates are coming into force despite pushback from the truck industry. The impact will be felt most acutely for the U.S.-Canada freight market, where around 160,000 truckers regularly cross the border — 75% of whom are Canadian. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/us-close-borders-unvaccinated-canadian-mexican-truckers-saturday Now, if you're an unvaxxed illegal, then they welcome you in with open arms!! So, the truck driver has to be vaxxed, not the 50 illegal Mexicans riding in the back of his truck...
