Try to find a medical doctor under 60 in New England who isn’t Woke or beaten down by Wokism - the good ones retired early. Lawyers, you can still find the Unwoke, but only at small practices - the medium/big firms have all gone Woke. Judges - you don’t get to pick them, unfortunately...

Getting in this thread very late… Best option for precious metals? Physically owning them - like, under the mattress.

How’s the soil out there? Maybe rent a trencher and just put the cable underground. I had to hand-dig a shallow trench here in Southern NH as the rocks are just inches below the surface. I hate soldering remote terminators - getting the shield right is a PITA, even with a flame-based soldering...

They don’t check shipments at random, they tag shippers and recipients at each end, track and execute on delivery, says our local DEA district head. And a lot gets through. Loss is expected but supply can easily meet and exceed demand. New England has the highest markup as Dominican gangs do...

https://www.hsdl.org/c/extremists-in-america-a-look-at-the-data/ There is a decided effort to conflate Conservative political typology with right-wind extremism by observing the rise in violent events since Trump/2015. Even if the rhetoric espoused by the so-called Flag & Faith Conservative...

I got around to building a DBJ-2 Roll-up 2m/70cm J-Pole Antenna yesterday. It’s wasn’t hard at all. The most difficult part was cutting the sheath of RG58 and RG316 off without cutting the ground braid. The trick was in a video - you bend the coax and just glide a blade over the sheath where...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/27/gun-lawsuits-manufacturer-sellers-crimes "s America’s gun crisis shows no sign of abating, there is some hope for reducing the number of mass shootings and killings. The emerging wave of lawsuits against gun makers echoes previous successes...

Crazy comments from those on Volokh Conspiracy (many, presumably lawyers) going down the path of Davy Crockett tactical nuclear weapons systems as 2ndA-protected sidearms 😅 I’m going to revise the “All layers are liars, i’m a lawyer" thing to "All lawyers are idiots, I’m a lawyer."

For sure. The “small areas” mentioned below are neighborhoods like Dorchester & Mattapan. Except southern CA, where the “bad neighborhoods” go on for miles and miles. “The worst 1% of counties (the worst 31 counties) have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders. The worst 2% of counties...

We just literally cannot afford to have government protect us from ourselves. We’d all go poor from the tax burden and then government would have to save us with a "safety net". But they’d have no resources to help us, as we’d not be paying taxes. Cue Dark Ages 2.0.

Point taken. I know OF some who have been shot over the decades, but the notion that 4 in 10 have connections (knowing someone/personally impacted) to gun violence suggests some level of significance that is overstated. With almost a million aggravated assaults and a half million rapes/sexual...

You would think that NYSP seizing 2500+ firearms from persons deemed a risk to themselves or others would have resulted in plenty of bad situations, with bodies piling up. These are wacko nutjobs with guns, after all. But it’s probably less risky to serve an ERPO than to do a traffic stop. I...
