Source for ethanol-free gas in Morris County?
They sell both 2-stroke and 4-stroke ethanol free engineered fuel at Home Depot and the like, I think the 4-stroke is gray. But it’s expensive af - currently $24 for 110oz which is like $28 per gallon

The Tax Man Commeth
I’ve lived in my current house six years and they sent an inspector once, some time around when the lockdowns were starting to lift. They sent a postcard ahead of time, it said something like, “if you don’t let them in we’ll assume you added ten bedrooms and all your toilets are solid gold and tax you accordingly” (paraphrasing, obviously)

From your lips to God’s ear. Or whatever the internet version of that is.

Wondering Where Your NJ Lifetime Income Went?
I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!

Lottery
If it’s like income tax (assume it’s in the same code) you have to pay both your home state’s tax AND the state tax where you got the income. Then if the two states have a reciprocity agreement you petition to get some of it back when I worked summer jobs in college I paid Fed, NJ, PA and Philadelphia taxes. Then I got the privilege to ask PA for that money back (kiss the city taxes goodbye you’ll never see those again)

i'm guessing this is the right place
I’m also 6’, 180#. Wearing a patterned shirt helps a lot, and the foam pads that go between the muzzle end of the holster and your body tip the grip more inward too. I used the foam when I was carrying an M&P compact (G19 size) but my 365XL doesn’t need it to disappear

Price of gas
EVs weigh like 6000 pounds so they tear up roads like a truck but don’t pay gas tax which [in a non corrupt state] partially pays to fix roads. I’m guessing this is claimed to cover that loss

140-Year-old Technology Deployed in the Russia-Ukraine War
News reports say both sides are using it so maybe it’s just the closest thing that can sling 7.62x54R The M2 is what, like, 90 years old now? So it’s getting up there although many variants have modernized the design over the years. And the M2 started liquid cooled also.

Can you unlock a door with a gun?
People shoot locks on YT all the time. You have to damage a padlock enough that the pin is not stuck in the shackle any more and depending on the construction that can be easy or hard. The crappy locks that are just a stack of riveted plates are more towards “easy”. A door lock probably not, you’d destroy the lock cylinder but the bolt is still in place and now there’s no more way to retract it. Of course…if you compromise the section of door that contains the lock (or hinge) that’s a different story - but technically that lock is still locked, isn’t it? Then there’s this…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMON_breach_grenade

- Magazine coupler
I have a bunch of those RK couplers, they’re ABS. I’m curious how you make out with PLA+ my guess is they wouldn’t survive being dropped but you could beef up the sides where they catch the groove on the mag body Did they recommend to print standing up on its end or anything? Thats how I would do it anyway- A I body search,
We use AI-informed inspection of production line assets at work and its 1000% dependent on its training data. If this system isn’t trained on a representative population of Michiganders with and without a concealed gun (and where are you going to get that kind of training data?) it’s absolutely worthless Just more security theater.- Photo For The Online CCW Application
GIMP is the open source, free competitor to Photoshop, that’s what I used.- Brass now restricted?
Seems like r/reloading says necking and trimming 6.5 Grendel is the way to go for price and availability, if you want to give that a whirl- OWB Double Mag Kydex Holster
I use Bladetech for my doubles for gun games and JM Custom for my singles for CCW, but I see JM has some doubles if you like that style. It’s a wide setup to ride closer to the body and each pouch is individually tensioned i still like singles for CCW though because I cant them and it’s more comfortable - Magazine coupler
