An Iron Filter. I've got iron in my water. Bad. Also sulfur, arsenic, and manganese. It also has a layer of ozone that kills bacteria and stuff. That filter gets rid of all that, but they're pretty expensive and typically not worth it unless you got a lot of iron.
Intentions and motivations are very important when attempting to judge a situation. Yes someone is dead, but this officer loosing his cool in a tense situation is very different to him planning on shooting up the next kid he sees. These situations are not black and white, and we shouldn't revert...
Exactly, its a solution looking for a problem. How many times do you hear SWAT teams getting ambushed in general, let alone by thugs with anti-material rifles and RPG's. Beat cops in their cruisers are far more likely to get ambushed than even an armored van full of door kickers ready to go. We...
To me, militarization of the police is the further arming of departments with surplus military hardware and then using said hardware and tactics in situations where it's not warranted either to send a message, or because policy calls for its use more than it should be used.
Anecdote: I once...
At least you don't have to deal with one of these:
Allegedly it's supposed to last a lifetime, but we'll see. It should increase the life of my water heater and softener when I get to installing that.
Wow, I have to say what a crappy situation all around. I've been vocally against raids and no-knock raids being overused in the past, and I still stand by my sentiment, however this situation is irrelevant to that. Mistakes were made on both sides, but mostly on the victim's side IMO.
First is...
I have a feeling that Christians who believe this will very likely fall for the Beast System and end up taking the real mark. The fact that they are so obsessed with him likely comes from indoctrination from the Media, which if they can't discern the lies and propaganda, means they will be easy...
Had a feeling this was the case, though didn't want to make assumptions or jump the gun. I remember you posting about that, but didn't remember which family member it was. I've only been there once, however something tells me it won't be the same there for some.
One endgame would be the more chaos they sow, the more likely a collapse or revolution will surface. When the bad times come, the population will be more willing to accept the neo-feudalist system they want to implement.
They never had any intention of be tolerant. They're angels of death rising from the grave of Marx coming to destroy our way of life one value and societal foundation at a time. They only wear the mask of tolerance because you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar. The useful idiots who...
The foundation of our society was the family unit. It's been that way for thousands of years. They are tearing those foundation asunder, in some communities and demographics more than others. It should be little wonder that the house is collapsing.
While I was doing research for a response for a post in the Long Arms subforum, I came across this. Not necessarily a 'bubba'd' creation, but still a cursed gun design that I would be terrified to shoot. I present the breech loaded 50 BMG pistol. And you thought 500 Bushwhacker was bad.
I don't have enough experience with 50 BMG rifles to tell you for certain if it's still safe to shoot. In the case of the FAL, it was fine afterwards. I can't imagine it would not be fine, but again 50 BMG is a different animal to other rounds, and I just don't have enough experience. The safe...
