So a tank is only 3.7 gallons of gasoline on an equivalent basis. Not worth it for that. Generator and connection is too far from a natural gas tap and I would have to run about 70 feet of gas line, also not worth it. Oh well.

Anyone use one of these? Does it work well. What sort of run time does one get on a typical BBQ Propane tank versus gasoline?

This was on another forum I participate in just today: Title: The Car Hacker's Handbook: A Guide for the Penetration Tester Authors: Craig Smith Formats: PDF Ids: Goodreads, Amazon.com, 9781593277031 Publisher: No Starch Press Author Sort: Smith, Craig Title Sort: Car Hacker's Handbook: A Guide for the Penetration Tester, The Date: 17 Mar 2016 uuid: 29d04b4f-0851-412d-8961-fca352b3b07c id: 15921 Published: Mar 2016 Modified: 17 Mar 2016 Languages: English Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Infotainment and navigation systems, Wi-Fi, automatic software updates, and other innovations aim to make driving more convenient. But vehicle technologies haven't kept pace with today's more hostile security environment, leaving millions vulnerable to attack. The Car Hacker's Handbook will give you a deeper understanding of the computer systems and embedded software in modern vehicles. It begins by examining vulnerabilities and providing detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and between devices and systems. Then, once you have an understanding of a vehicle's communication network, you'll learn how to intercept data and perform specific hacks to track vehicles, unlock doors, glitch engines, flood communication, and more. With a focus on low-cost, open source hacking tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Kayak, can-utils, and ChipWhisperer, The Car Hacker's Handbook will show you how to: Build an accurate threat model for your vehicle Reverse engineer the CAN bus to fake engine signals Exploit vulnerabilities in diagnostic and data-logging systems Hack the ECU and other firmware and embedded systems Feed exploits through infotainment and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems Override factory settings with performance-tuning techniques Build physical and virtual test benches to try out exploits safely If you're curious about automotive security and have the urge to hack a two-ton computer, make The Car Hacker's Handbook your first stop. ** About the Author Craig Smith runs Theia Labs, a research firm that focuses on security auditing and building hardware and software prototypes.

If they want a tax to fix the water system in the slums then let them tax those that live in the slums and use the water system. I don't see them taxing the slums to fix things where I live. It is time for the spend other people's money crap to end.

Actually I think the exact opposite. Battery cars are the marketing ploy while hybrids really do save energy. Now with the price of gasoline neither makes much economic sense, but once gas goes back to normal costs hybrids make a lot of sense. The only way a car like a Tesla makes sense is if they can get charging times down to the equivalent of the time you spend to fuel a normal car. What would make the most sense is a common swappable battery pack where you go to a "gas station" and they swap out the discharged pack with a full one in under 5 minutes. Even with supercharging that takes 20 minutes or more, who wants to waste that time. Who wants to have range anxiety either? I just don't want to have to plan ahead to make a 300 mile trip figuring exactly where I need to stop. The concept of the Chevy Volt (maybe not the implementation) is a great one. Electric with an onboard gasoline generator so you have no range issues.

Let's all play nice. It was an interesting article.

Well even if you don't buy the percentages it is still telling that only 13 people out of over 6 million nics checks were prosecuted. Just further proof that either the government is totally inept or criminals don't submit to nics checks - or both.

A very interesting read about background checks, how they are almost worthless to stop criminals, are not truly enforced by the government, and are used to take away rights they promised not to. Well worth reading be you either for or against them: http://www.dolpress.com/news/2016/3/27/explaining-the-objections-to-background-checks The article is very long but very interesting and I urge all to read it. I found these two paragraphs particularly interesting.

Screw the stupid pedestrians. It is one thing to not allow someone that is driving a 3,000+ pound object from harming others, it is another thing to protect someone that is too stupid to look where they are going and will only harm themselves. You can't outlaw stupid.

Will I still be able to buy multiple cell phones at once, or will they be limited to one every thirty days? What about high capacity contracts? When will New Jermany cut out this crap?

I assume it works just like how my Phone connects to my GoPro Camera. The GoPro actually creates a wifi hotspot and the phone locks onto that wifi signal.

The ” M ” (MUSLIM) word… by Jeff Foxworthy Have you ever wondered why it’s OK to make jokes about Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women , blacks/whites, etc, but its insensitive to make jokes about Muslims? Time to level the playing field and be politically correct by including the Muslims! Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims: 1. If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor, You may be a Muslim. 2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes, You may be a Muslim. 3. If you have more wives than teeth, You may be a Muslim. 4.If you wipe your butt with your bare hand but consider bacon to be unclean, You may be a Muslim. 5. If you think vests come in two styles: Bullet-proof and suicide. You may be a Muslim 6. If you can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared jihad against, You may be a Muslim. 7. If you consider television dangerous but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, You may be a Muslim. 8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs, You may be a Muslim. 9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, You may be a Muslim

Actually the teacher must be a F'ing Demotard because he said she actually did not get a bad grade

The only help I see is that maybe you will be allowed to use a pistol permit to buy a stun gun which you will only then be allowed to have at your home, the range or a place of business that you own with direct travel between them with no unreasonable deviations

It's about time for this common sense gun law. It is long past time for NJ to stop violating the 2nd Amendment. Further, there should not be special rules for privileged politicians - nothing for them if the rest of us don't get the same. We have tried the left-wing anti-gun no concealed carry in NJ for years and it is a total and utter failure. All it does is prevents honest people from being able to protect themselves and does NOTHING to take guns out of the hands of criminals. Most crime victims are first time victims and don't have previous "justifiable" needs. You have insurance on your car and your home because you never Know. You don't have it because you expect an accident or a fire - but they happen. Imagine if you could not buy a smoke detector or fire extinguisher without first proving that you once has a small fire and were likely to have another in the future - Our current gun laws are just as stupid!

I can come up with some good gun laws. Make it a crime to fire a shot at another person or into another person in a non-defensive situation. Punishment 10 years minimum for first offense with no intervention, plea bargain or reduced sentence possible. Second offense 20 years. Third offense death. This removes almost all repeat offenders and should serve as a significant deterrent. Oh also commit a felony such as armed robbery with a gun gets you a minimum of five years with no reductions as well.

What better training is there than forcing you to argue in favor of something you oppose. It teaches you two skills at once, seeing the other side of an argument as well as working on being persuasive.

Like · Reply · 21 hrs Jay Sweifach The fact is that I would lose in a debate supporting gun rights as well, perhaps willingly, and it has nothing to do with my knowledge of the topic, and maybe more about making a statement. Given her reputation in class as a stellar student, i expect that she made a clear statement to the class, that although with a reputation of being bright and articulate she couldn't come up with something convincing in this case - and that comes from her values - There is no certainty with values, only subjectivity. Certainty had nothing to do with this. Knowing my daughter, this was her way of poking fun at the gun-ownership side of the debate by making a statement that there is no coherent argument for gun ownership. And if getting a 'bad grade' (which she didn't) is the trade off for standing up for something she believes in, in whatever form that might be, i support that. To me, standing up for something, and making a statement is a far more important 'school lesson' than getting a debate grade.

No problem, still good at it too

Color me confused? Is it the strange screen name I used here that threw you off, or something else ???

I am not so sure you can't blame the kid. I would imagine the teacher (I would hope at least) taught both sides of the argument in class and then had the kids debate it. Assuming that the case, then she really did fail. I just find it incredulous that parent's brainwash their kids to such an extent. I was very proud of my son when he turned Rutger's entrance essay on them. The question was something like explain the value of diversity. He went on to explain why it was bad and how he had been discriminated against his entire life because he was a white male. They must have actually liked it as they granted him early admission (even though he had not requested that) and offered him a bunch of money to go there - he did not.

This "friend" is so screwed left it is unbelievable. He is actually proud that his daughter failed her assignment. Note my reply at the bottom right.

Take Smokin .50 up on his offer to talk you through the stuff. Dave knows the laws and will help you out. As for the hollow point thing, I have a suggestion. Take them to Fedex or UPS and just ship them from PA to your new address in NJ, that way you are not transporting them. That should be considered no different than your buying them online and having them shipped to your home. Also I would be careful about having someone else watch your guns and bringing them here later. I am so NJ indoctrinated so I don't know about free states, but wouldn't that be considered an illegal transfer - especially for any handguns?

Exactly! Would be nice to know if taking a leak or getting gas is reasonable. What about stopping for a bite to eat?

Thanks. I saw that and saw another place selling them for $399 - but that is today. I figure they probably went for a good bit more than that in 2005 when they were new. Since they will give you what you claim you paid or msrp that is what I am trying to determine. Edit --- Found on AR15.com a person who submitted $480 for two of them and was approved on both of them for that amount.
