4473 change ...
The number of transsexual people is witheringly small as a portion of the population. They also tend to be the victims of violence rather than the perpetrator of same. The real problem is that a lot of the policies and laws being made about them leaves the entire process to be self determined and that you are obligated to take the person's word for it. They don't let someone pursue gender reassignment surgery without significant psychological review, yet everything but that is "take their word for it". Unfortunately every scumbag who thinks unsolicited dick pics are an appropriate hello on the internet and the kiddy diddlers out there aren't of particularly high moral or ethical standards and will happily ignore or exploit the laws that exist. They also likely outnumber the gender dysphoria population. Unfortunately none of the legislation is really about helping anyone. It's about leveraging identity politics for power and control. If it breaks the existing system and allows those who changed the rules to be able to point at anyone they feel like and other them or actual make them criminals then they achieved their goal.

SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
I hope so too. Because if they don't, they might as well not bother being the highest court in the land. Just wait out cert and then alter the law slightly and call it moot. You just do it for even the mildly risky cases because it's a free chance to not lose.

Yup. Likely waiting until June.

WAWa Data Breach
They have to keep enough data for payment processing. Most likely it's not that stored records were leaked, but that malware was in place that snooped all the payment traffic going across their payment infrastructure.

ZEV Modular Build Kit - Hmmmmmmmmm...
The only real question on this, for me, would be has someone finally made a metal glock frame that doesn't break? Other than the limits of the glock trigger, the old wolf race frames shot REALLY nice.

Inexpensive bench rest worth while?
If the price is worth it, you should have one. Can't speak to the quality of that one in particular, but it's pretty cheap. However, when sighting in a rifle, it's kind of specific to the position you are shooting from, so a good zero from a rest may or may not be what you actually want. Although if you have issues holding a group from other positions, it may be the best you get, and for shooting 100 yards and in it's probably all rounding error anyway.

Rock Island AL9.0 9mm Revolver!
Charter arms has one.. Oh you said quality. Korth sky marshal. There was also some revolver I can't remember.. it not only didn't need moon clips, it was multi-caliber and headspaced off the rim. I wann say it was the hydra or chimera or something. It'd do 9mm 9x21, 9x23, etc. IIRC.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
OK, so I'm at stage "Status Update: Criminal History Check completed You will be sent another email on completion of your application processing." Does that mean FARS is done, or am I waiting on any other steps prior to my municipality being the choke point? It's been two weeks since I got that mail.

That list of passwords comes from looking at all the major breeches for the year, lowercasing every password, and counting the occurrences. It is mostly derived from compromised online accounts, not actual hardware devices. If calculated across all major breeches to date, the ranking changes. This is the first year in a while no plain english words made it to the top ten. Unfortunately that's because people are using things even worse than "sunshine" in greater numbers.

not for IoT type devices. The most common passwords are the factory default. which is why making that random and strong from the factory works.

Don't blame the end users. Yeah lots of them are naive with regards to security, but there are fixes to this. The problem is that IoT devices like this are developed with all the care put into a $1.99 digital watch, and the repercussions of this are significant. The worlds biggest botnet attack was powered by useless wi-fi connected color changing lightbulbs and similar pointless shit. The default password thing has been solved for routers for a while. The default passswords are now complex and random per device and printed on the device. This has drastically cut down on compromises of home routers. IoT stuff needs to be doing the same thing. They also need to stop putting back doors in the things. There are a bunch of IP video cameras out there with hard coded backdoor passwords. Changing the default helps nothing in terms of vulnerability. As for having a DVR at home, most of these have a networked component and still need to have the same precautions taken with them as you would an IP video camera.

Yeah, they also are simply not doing a good job of keeping information secure with regard to their app. https://gizmodo.com/ring-s-hidden-data-let-us-map-amazons-sprawling-home-su-1840312279 Even if you opt out, data may linger rather than be purged immediately. They have broken their terms before and it would not surpize me if they do so again. That aside, even after they agreed to not disclose user info without the user's consent, when furnished with a subpoena demanding the info, they turned it over anyway as they are actually in possession of said info.

It did go a bit sideways at the end there, didn't it?

Maybe if they are short they would need a chair. Even at 5'9", you only need about 15" of reach to get to 7 feet.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
OK I went looking and could not find. It's not in the fars portal. But then again it's not of particularly high quality in terms of execution.

Leather Repair
No it wasn't. I mean it ran, it didn't have a hydraulic clutch or a positive ground electric system. So not even close. Even if you ARE your own mechanic, they are money pits. There was a gas station in highland park that would periodically have an MGB with the union jack on the hood out front. That dude sold that car so many times to some college girl who thought it was SOOOOO cool. The longest I ever saw it disappear for was a month. It was the only place near campus that would work on them, and when they complained it was crap or came back for repairs he'd just offer to buy it back for a fraction of what they paid. Sometimes if they had paid for him to fix some of it he'd be kinder and buy it back for what they paid. My friend's aunt had an 80s alpha romeo spyder that was more reliable than any MGB I ever met. Just to give perspective on how low that bar is set.

Got any evidence it is not? That stuff, in my experience, was made up at the municipality level. The forms differed, sometimes the questions differed, etc. Some insisted no family members. Some places wanted to contact your spouse. There's nothing about it in the statutes beyond 2C:58-3c "No person of good character and good repute in the community in which he lives, and who is not subject to any of the disabilities set forth in this section or other sections of this chapter, shall be denied a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card, except as hereinafter set forth. " My guess is the minimum of requiring evidence someone in the community in which you live thinks you are ok to own a gun is part of the secret administrative code. Currently it's automated and the web form doesn't seem to say don't do it.

Fellow Star Wars nerds....
Nah, if there were the typical space for commercials they would run ~42 minutes. Granted, some places manipulate playback and speed it up slightly while pitch shifting things to squeeze in some more, but industry average after allotting space for commercials and bumpers is 42-45 minutes.

Car battery jump pack
It will read high when running if trusting the IN car software because the info display lies. Got a jeep. Hasn't been a day in the last 5 years it hasn't sad 14.8v for the battery day in, day out, not a burp. Plug in an OBD2 data logger and you can see that display in the dash is a total lie. Mine isn't broken, what gets logged makes sense for the use, but the built in battery meter is clearly full of shit. As for finding the problem, good luck. FCA has been buying shit batteries for a few years now and TONS of them have bad cells. But they have also been having issues with solid ground connections periodically in assembly.

Anyone seen these dollars?
Actually, burning it and destroying it is unlawful, regardless what you think. Hwoever defacing it.. well as long as what you write on it is not advertising, it's legal.

Bloomberg shows his hand on his Gun Laws if he's President
Oh you are wrong. He is definitely in it to win it. You are just confused by the fact that he doesn't have to be president to have won. He want's power and influence. He wants to have more of it than anyone else. That's his goal. He's running so that he'll either be president, or that he will be the guy steering the democratic party. He's fine with either. Right now in the DNC there's a fight between the hillary branch and obama branch of the DNC. More accurately team hillary controls hillary's donors and team obama controls obama's donors, they don't necessarily have much if anything to do with the personal opinions of either hillary or obama. There's nobody big enough in the party to make these two factions play nicely together and nobody charismatic enough to do it either. Which is why we have all this neo-marxist leftism getting big air time. It's trying to buy influence with sound bites instead of dollars. Intended or not, this is making a lot of the people providing the money on both those lists hesitant to continue donating money. Bloomberg has money. There's a power vacuum right now. He'll be the president or he'll be the new Soros.

Emergency water containers for freezing temps...
You really don't read about do you? Cycling bottled water was literally the first half of my suggestion with the purifier an affordable add on to the practice.

Emergency water containers for freezing temps...
Life straw is the brand. What I am recommending is not their straw filter but their gravity powered disposable water purifier. she should also probably hit up Lowe’s and get a food grade 5 gallon bucket to cart the water.

Case Mark Signs
You'll have to take better pictures or circle what you are concerned about. I wouldn't bat an eye at any of the brass pictured. But some of your primers have some nice flow into the flash hole. that really shouldn't be happening that much. I would step up to a thicker primer. I won't load 6 1/2s or cci 400s in .223 and 6.5 creedmore is higher pressure.
