Red Solo Cup

I think he said he had his thumb over the barrel when it "misfired". Sounds like the recent "dog pulled the trigger" incidents. Round in chamber=gun is unsafe, duh. Most of the preppers on these shows have some kind of prepping related business to promote. Just proves a point, never go on TV, they can edit the footage to make it deliver whatever message they want, in this case, irresponsible parent.

The show definitely wants everybody to look like a psycho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KioMcNM2TMQ#t=700s

There is a lot of oil being produced in North Dakota with no way to get it to market, they are talking about trucking it. Meanwhile there is a lot of nat gas being produced next door in Penna, they can get it here. Electric prices are benefitting from the nat gas prices net of the money wasted on "green energy" subsidies.

Yes Verizon customer service really blows. If you have a problem don't tell them it's a phone problem, you'll be on the phone for hours with them trying to get them to roll a truck. Tell them it's a TV problem. When I had siding put on the house the FIOS box was unhooked and left upside down. It rained and filled up with water. I made the mistake of saying it was a phone issue. Luckily when they finally rolled the truck the guy replaced it no charge.

Agreed the trick is finding the right users to follow. I've started using it to keep track of the markets (besides zerohedge.com)

Kids should not have unsupervised access to computers or TV, IMHO. I hope in this twisted world the kid doesn't call DYFS on the dad.

From what I've heard Lifelock is considered a "scam" in the sense that it's just insurance which your credit cards normally cover anyway. I have a promo freeze and a report freeze on my 3 major credit reports so nothing major is happening without me knowing about it.

If you have FIOS and your power goes out, it will cut off internet and TV to keep the phone alive for as long as possible. However, if you put a battery backup in between the FIOS box and wall power then the FIOS box won't sense the power failure. Also when the battery in the FIOS box dies it's your responsibility to replace it. I've had FIOS for aboug 4-5 years and very happy with it.

I used my GM card at a coffee shop in San Francisco, next thing I know it got cloned and used at an Indian reservation in northern Cal Luckily it was an isolated case and not ID theft ,but I'd check my credit reports and bank accounts carefully for a few months. I also had another card cloned after using it at a deli in Staten Island. Same deal. You just have to sign an affidavit of fraud.

That one hairy shirtless hippy said he would serve them a banquet and try to enlist their help, but if not he would poison them or slit their throats. Not that I see it happening, just sayin.

They should have just called it Superbowl observation post. Thinking of the movie Texas Tower, it's a lot easier than waitng for the cops to find a biplane! LOL

You're right....western Mass....here is her blog http://justincasebook.wordpress.com/author/justincasebook/ looks like she has a couple of books for sale

You're absolutely right. Mea culpa.

Last year I visited a factory for LCD panels being built by LG in South Korea just a few miles from the DMZ. It was friggin gigantic. This picture just shows some of the workers dormitories being built: Here's the factory: And here are some ROK pillboxes along the highway up from Seoul (at that point the highway runs along a river which is the border)

I found the sunspot/ham radio guy's youtube channel, he has a ton of videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sfoOCSQGNQ&feature=relmfu

Heh, yeah, she was quite a character, both the idea of having to "whore for supplies" as well as "shooting kitty in the brain stem". Wonder who is the lucky boyfriend? :-)

BTW the issue with plastic gas cans is that they need to have a good spark arrestor inside to protect against static electricity. Most cheapo cans don't.

I couldn't understand why she wanted to go to Mexico. That place is worse than SHTF already!

I read One Second After by Forstchen. Same type of thing. Scary stuff.

At least no expense was spared on that chair! :-)

Munich occurred in the athletes dorms. Even back in 1972 terrorists don't want to be on the receiving end of open sight lines. I've heard the London olympics reevaluated their close in protection needs and has roughly doubled the number of shooters needed. They are being trained at a camp in Northern Ireland. This Superbowl shooter is mostly ornamental. In fact there is probably little role for a sniper except against really incompetent bad guys. You can bet there were a ton of close in protective folks there however.

Has anyone tried the PRI-G gas treatment?

The guy who pointed out that an EMP would take out the entire trucking industry made the most impact on me. Three days of food is a joke in that scenario.

The problem as I see it, is lack of credit availability due to lack of jobs. I don't see that improving enough in the next 10 years to help things out. If prices go back up for houses, tons of supply will come onto the market. As it is people selling are either desperate or "not serious" in their pricing (IMHO..trying to get 2010 prices in 2012). Granted NJ is in better shape than some places due to bleed over of wall street money into the state (untaxed, alas).
