Anyone know values of Dom Perignon?
If you're not a reputable wine guy I doubt you'd get really any money worth you're trouble selling it. Anybody who really wants to buy great wine (even faceless on the internet) wants some sort of confidence about the provenance.

RFiD gun boxes...
What's bad about the "leave multiple chips around". Is that the idea is that there are multiple chips around it leaves a higher chance that a child will get to it it.

RFiD gun boxes...
I'm confused.. so the part I get is that the technology is very cool.. what I don't get is that like how/when/where am I supposed to be carrying the chip? so lets say the chip is in a wristband of some sort. So like am I supposed to wear that wristband on me 24/7? Am I supposed to sleep with it on so that in the middle of the night I can access my weapon? I just saw a video that was a coffee table that had a false bottom that when and RFiD "card" was pressed on it the bottom swung open to release the pistol. So like do I carry that CARD in my pocket 24/7? Yes I think the technology is better than a finger print swipe but I'm just confused. How are you actually supposed to "carry" the chips around with you all the time? Or sleep with a band on? Shower with it? If you take it off to shower then you have left it laying around for a child to take. I think I would be prone more to leave my "chip" somewhere far away from the weapon when its actually needed. At least I know my fingerprint is with me 24/7

Insulating garage
I was taught paper faces the warm side. The garage is the cold side. So I would not want to have paper out. Attics in NJ should not see paper.

11th Circuit Attacks 2nd Amendment
If I take one of these home invasion classes and I told them "the scenario is it's late at night and someone is pounding on the door and I feel like I should have my gun in my hand" Will the instructors tell me how I should be opening the door or will they tell me "if you felt like you would only open the door armed you should probably just call the police that someone is banging on your door"

Ownership due to Death
My rant above has nothing to do with guns. It's a PSA to say the point of a will is to tell the state not to get involved.
-
Ownership due to Death
They are entitled to the property. But when people die lots of docs need to get filed. Taxes filed. Taxes withheld. Etc. If there is no will the STATE acts as executor. Yes the children will get the loot but it's a process. The point of a simple will is to say "hey state you don't need to get involved" What if he had another child you didn't know about. The state wants to make sure nobody else has a claim on assets WHEN THERE IS NO WILL STATING WHO GETS WHAT. If your nephew says "man that bitch sister of mine shouldn't get anything dad hated her". The state will say "too bad she gets a third because there was no will. "

Ownership due to Death
He brushed over a major point there. NO WILL. The NJ gets the estate first. Then you just hope they give it to the kids. That's the order people when you die without a will. Sure it says you can take possession intestate but you just can't walk over there and grab it. The state divides it up NOOOOO WILLLLLLL

Baba Yaga (John Wick)
In the first one his slide never locks back on his empty mags. For as realistic they make the gun fights in that movie I wonder why they did that. Go ahead a watch it in slow mo. And it's not necessarily tactical reloads. There were times he went click and saw nothing happens so he reloads. I'm not crazy enough to have counted the rounds fired

How not to pull a kid over a hedge...
The both hand relax grip thing is new to me but it sounds reasonable. It's insane there is a warning shot theory. It's 100% obvious he lunged with left hand to pull the kid over with his hand on the pistol. remember two years ago the cop shot the kid in the stairwell in the projects? He was turning the door knob with the pistol hand Sorry I didn't link the video guys. I'm on the mobile.

With your pistol holding hand. Just google "Anaheim officer" And they haven't figured out how the gun went off?!?

Homeowners and flood insurance
Since it's so new nobody has "tested" going back to FEMA. But your idea of pre FIRM grandfathering is going away anyway. Rates increase 20% a year until no subsidy is keft anyway. I don't understand why guys "wait". It's costing you $2 grand more a year. I'm over $6 grand ahead since I started. Don't you understand your thinking of reasons to stay in the most expensive insurance industry ever? The math doesn't add up. Down the street the guys basement filled up during Irene. His payout was $9k. He paid $3500 a year fir a $9k loss. That's like 30% cost vs payout ratio. That's not insurance that's robbery. Don't think of reasons to stay with the thief. Think of ways to run away from the thief. What do you pay like $900 a year to protect your home from burning down? How can you be paying over $3k for a flood? Is where you live a flood going to destroy your ENTIRE house? That's the point. The FEMA rate is based on total destruction of your hiuse. So you determine whether you think your basement is at risk or water up to your roof. No way am I gonna pay $3500 a year for a basement flood loss where the max they will cut me a check for is ten grand. It's not that I think LLOYDS is a better insurer than the US government it's that the FEMA rate is insane to me. It's robbery.

That is a myth not a fact. If you let insurance coverage LAPSE you cannot go back. Besides it will all be moot. The Flood Parity Act that is about to be signed codifies total bilateral switching. Private flood will become primary insurance and FEMA will be last resort insurance. That is the goal.

How much coverage do I need? The Freddie and Fannie bylaws state you carry the LESSER of mortgage amount or replacement cost. If your bank tells you you need more they are lying to you. The following premiums are from Lloyds: $250k. $1827 $200k. $1485 $150k. $1143 $100k. $843 Anybody paying more than that for their flood please you are over insured

My number one question: "how can it be cheaper than FEMA?" Because FEMA charges the same risk premium to every house regardless of state or location. The private companies are insuring 1% SHFA risk areas that are not repeat offenders and because of this they can do it for half the price.

MetLife and Nationwide now offer flood through NFS Edge which is a susidiary of AON. Their rates are almost exactly the same. I've checked.

The best deal is www.privatemarketflood.com Your coverage amount should be the LESSER of your mortgage amount or your replacement cost on the hiuse. It's simple. You putt in those values and it tells you the quote. No games. Anybody who is being "forced" to carry higher coverage than that is getting ripped off by their bank $200k in flood coverage is $1500 a year. If your miratge is less than $200k you shouldn't be paying over $$1500 for flood If your replacement cost is under $200k you shouldn't be paying more than $1500 for flood

KWADZ.: Private insurers entered the market in 2014 after the Biggert Waters Act lifted subsidies. And the Flood insurance Parity Act voted on last year will make it mandatory for all banks to accept private flood.
