  1. “The point is there are ZERO non-essential jobs in even our nominally free (though massively government controlled) market. If a job doesn't generate income, it goes away. The question comes down to: How many people are you willing to starve and murder over a virus that the experts agree won't be significantly worse than the four previous major viruses, in the last half century? And if you can't name them without looking, then your opinion is irrelevant. EVERY business is essential to the owner, the employees, and the families. Any politician speaking of a "non-essential" business is an idiot and should be removed from office. Because lamppost decorators need work, too.“ http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/index.php?itemid=543&fbclid=IwAR30fIY8IVCG0_AMm5r5EB8N9WNnA0WIydavLxs5WKPuiUCPFBNcAnu2ZCE
  2. Tullamore D.E.W. is my favorite of the Irish blends. It is way smoother than it has any right to be, especially at its price point. Also, it is non-sectarian. Whereas Jameson is the choice of Catholics and Bushmills is the choice of Protestants, everyone can drink Tullamore D.E.W. and be happy.
  3. Haha. Me too. It sent me on a chain that had me reading a locked 10 page thread that was decade old. Some folks just didn’t know when to stop.
  4. First he beat Nazis, then 75 years later he beats COVID-19. That’s what’s up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/03/veteran-survived-coronavirus/
  5. TN absolutely has one of the best. If anybody wants to get a taste of just how good we have it in comparison, go visit Indiana or Louisiana.
  6. Us truckers have been getting lots of kudos as of late because folks are realizing what they won’t have without us. I’d like to take this opportunity to say thanks to you and your fellow road crew. As we prepare to enter construction season, just want to wish you a safe one. I know that without you doing your job, I can’t do mine. Thanks. It’s appreciated, even if I might cuss about it now and then when y’all slow me to a crawl on a tight run.
  7. I don’t have any pics of my first AR. It was also a reasonably Tacticool setup. I remember it was built on a Spike’s infidel lower, DSA upper, and Magpul furniture. It looked the part for a late aughts gun.
  8. Orville Peck is weird, but really talented.
  9. “Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.” F. A. Hayek
  10. You mean like the federal government?
  11. There are a few differences that point to it being an earlier production than the civilian SP-1s. Like I mentioned before, it has the triangle CH, and if you look at the takedown pins, they have a divot. The SP-1s don’t have the divot takedown pins. It’s also got the chrome slickside bolt carrier. The SP-1 doesn’t. It’s a 601, maybe definitely a 602. Hard to tell without a better resolution on the mag release or color to see the color of the stock. It has the improved 3 prong duckbill flash hider. It’s an early production of the 602 as the later models have the same charging handle as your SP-1. Actually found this pic shown as an example of the 602 in Vietnam. https://bpullignwolnet.dotster.com/retroblackrifle/ModGde/RflGde/602.html
  12. I think that might actually be a Colt 601. That would make it very early indeed. It’s got the waffle mag and the tiny triangle charging handle and three prong flash hider.
  13. That’s a hook style brace, not a stock, so it’s technically still a pistol.
  14. Yeah, that too.
  15. Similar and equally plausible reason for the pose.
  16. Looks more like 3 o’clock to me.
  17. Sure about that? This officer’s is pretty far back on his hip, and would appear to be even further back were he to assume the same stance as the illustration. Also, I have a theory about why the officer in the drawing is holding the front of that AR 15 the way he is. I suspect that the original image was of an officer holding a baton in front of him The way you would see them sometime use batons in formation for riot control techniques. That image was taken, rotoscoped, baton removed and then an AR15 was added to replace the baton. Obviously I could be wrong, but that’s just my guess.
  18. I would almost guarantee it. I mean, we’re how many weeks into this quarantine? Divorce lawyers are about to be busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
  19. And from looking at him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an off duty officer. A Google search will turn up quite a few pictures of officers wearing their side arms cross-draw from the 40s and 50s. From what I can tell while in no way standard, it was absolutely not uncommon for the era.
  20. This isn’t meant in a derogatory manner, though I admit it can be interpreted as such but isn’t intended that way.- Your tendency towards authoritarianism is what I would consider a known quantity. In the current crisis it seems that you have garnered a lots of new friends on all sides of the political spectrum to your viewpoint. While I may be coming around a bit more to your ideas on domestic production of goods and use of resources, I will still continue to value human freedom over an orderly society.
  21. “The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.“ H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)
