The ultimate limit of these financing methods is the 99 year lease.

From: https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/clips-vs-magazines/ " Before purists chime in, let me add that back in 1909 and 1910--as the United States was looking at adopting its first self-loading pistol for widespread issue--in U.S. Army Ordnance Dept. documents it referred to the detachable box magazine for what would become the U.S. M1911 pistol as, well, a clip. "

Still have making some of that on my bucket list.

Correction. This was denied cert as case number 25-296.

That is a question, how is the lore passed if it does not include the significance. Well, it was SciFi, or more specifically Space Opera touching on SciFi. Which right there requires a clarification and context. SciFi assumes some development in the context of science, and explores the ramifications. Space Opera is just a story with space travel. How would a toddler learn "an Egyptian slave, his stomach growling" before "I'm hungry" or "Cheerios!" or... I remember my kid saying "breakfast" to indicate hunger, specifically a request for Malt O Meal. Did take a few days* to figure that out and teach "breakfast," lunch," and "dinner," and expand this too "Malt O Meal for breakfast." As to stable vs unstable... The historic John or me? * Just to not leave a doubt, food was produced at some point with the apparent discomfort, and "breakfast" was a great clue. An earlier pre-language crankiness was not resolved until discovering a thread in in a bootie (knit shoe) was around a toe. not at all saying food was not provided for a few days until the meaning was fully understood.

He recognizes the tablet contains the new story. Earlier in that episode, there was a discussion about the meaning of a phrase like "Romeo and Juliet on the balcony." Comments included romance, future tragedy, things one would need the story for to have these insights, otherwise the phrase would be gibberish or lose meaning and significance. I took a class once where I realized there was a not-understood significance to a word. When the people marched around Jericho, they blew a ram's horn. Recalling the scholarly opinion the Noah story had two versions (the scribes merged all the different oral stories they collected), one where a dove was released, and one where it was a raven, and one was a bird of peace and other a bird of war/conquest... Is there significance to a ram's horn? Turns out this is a call to repentance. This additional information adds nuance and deepens understanding of the story. In the Bible, there is probably no word which does not carry significance beyond its simple literal meaning. The idea in this episode to have almost all meaning in communication based on significance rather than simple meaning was really quite clever. Hawking, in his chair, at the whiteboard... John Kloehr, with his rifle, at the stable...

For magnetic disks, I used to run the DoD 7-pass wipe. This is for "sensitive" information. There is also a less thorough 3-pass wipe. This will not work for SSDs or thumb drives. For those drives, need to fill them to the last bit, then "erase" all which just removes pointers, and then fill again, repeating multiple times. SSDs (Solid State Drives) re-level and load balance data storage as each physical location is only good for a limited life; the physical location for an addressed spot moves each time it is used. There are data wipe tools which can handle both kinds of drives, worth a few bucks to get if selling (or trading in) a personal computer or device in working condition. At the highest levels of classification, physical destruction up to and including grinding to dust is standard practice. For you and me, a sledge hammer or hand drill does a pretty good job of making data unrecoverable to a typical thief. I took a sledge hammer to a failed drive a while back, this eliminated any practical path to repair it and recover the data. An iMac failed on me about a year ago. A replacement power supply would have been about $100, computer was only worth $200 if repaired. So I looked up where the data drive (SSD) was located inside it, measured and marked the area with tape, then drilled a bunch of 1/4" holes through that area. Took it with me on the next dump trip, now safe to put in the eWaste dumpster.

No decision on: 25-5748 Lee v US Felon in possession 24-8071 DeWilde v Bondi Does the Second protect owning M-16 rifles All others denied certiorari. Will post the next batch within a few days for Friday's conference. Rinse and repeat for the following week which looks to have something interesting.

Sad win though. Memphis passed a law with many restrictions, but the law will only become effective when (if) the state legislature eliminates pre-emption. Plaintiffs brought suit anyway. Reading the actual ruling, the law in question is absolutely "dead as a doornail," case dismissed with plaintiffs to pay costs.

Fine. Be that way. Nitrile gloves and Brillo pads. Can skip the Brillo pads by using the gloves and loading mags from a fresh ammo box while wearing the gloves, but if using reloads they were probably handled a lot.

Made a grocery run today. Some onions, bell peppers in several colors, celery, and pecan halves just because I'm out. Also a few bottles of wine just because I can see the back of that cabinet. I'm planning to take a risk in the first winter event Monday. Today, I took 3# of beef stew meat out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge, gonna make a chili. The risk? If the power fails, my stove and oven will not work. Most of the house will stay running as I have a generator on natural gas. Do have a propane camp stove as backup, would be roughing it then. I'm not sure we will get anything other than cold or if any snow will stick if it comes (east Tennessee), but can easily go a week with the biggest problem being "cabin fever." I even have 6 quarts of shelf-stable milk. And some bread and tortillas stashed in the freezer. Key point is I have no intention of going out in this event as all the idiots will need some time to learn how to drive again.

It's not so much a rule as it is a guideline...

I'm on a MacBook, does not work for me with Safari or FireFox. Just tried my iPhone too, on both my WiFi network and cell network. Since it works for @El Sobrante Kid, it must be some sort of regional network problem.
