@handleitgrips Nobody knows your skill level. I never assume anyone on a public range knows what they are doing. That’s not being a Fudd. For all you know, old spice in the back was a Ranger in Vietnam and has killed more people than cancer.

@DocStrangelove2 People who understand cause and effect, and incentives aren’t usually leftists. They really can’t comprehend that by creating incentives to commit crimes and disincentives for opposing criminals they create this environment. Anarchotyranny.

@MayakoKitsune @DocStrangelove2 The cultures don’t seem compatible. I will share a story. After Basic I was sent to Germany (my entire class was, except one weirdo who had Ft Hood in his contract). I had 3 roommates, all of whom I had gone to Basic with at my first duty station. It was really dumb of them.

@DocStrangelove2 They didn’t do too bad. NVGs, gloves, what I’m charitably gonna call a balaclava. At the time you couldn’t make lightweight body armor that would stop a rifle round. Rifles were still in “man killing” vs “man wounding but I carry a crapton of ammo and I can suppress”.

@DrNeilStone The fact that some vaccines work does not prove all vaccines work. The medical community lost the plot when you started calling an experimental gene therapy a vaccine. Then used government to mandate it. Then insisted it worked, even when you knew it didn’t. Now, no one.

@KurtSchlichter Huge implications for the use of AI. They used AI to "read" all 1,574 pages of that monstrosity and pull out the graft and corruption. This is a game changer. They can't hide things in multi-thousand page bills anymore.

@Oilfield_Rando I THINK this is it. Someone who does crypto can correct what I get wrong. 1) Randos decide to launch a new coin, get a "celebrity" to back it (otherwise no one will buy). 2) They all receive coins as a reward for founding this brave new business venture. 3) Coin launches,.

@TiredGamerJonny @MayakoKitsune @DocStrangelove2 Wasn’t in the Marines so I don’t know. In the Army the f@ckups weren’t sent somewhere as much as to some job. If you were in a Combat Arms MOS and you were driving a bus, working at the gym, lifeguard at the pool, etc it meant that you were a f@ckup who couldn’t be trusted with.

@revenant_MMXX In the 90s the left redefined “father” to mean “provider of child support payments”. A large percentage of kids don’t have their dads in their daily life due to family law courts. Fix that first.

@DocStrangelove2 Hog eradication is a priority for us in 2025. This is a half acre farm track that they have rooted up. You can't plant anything that isn't surrounded by hog fence - they will get into it and eat your seed. Sapling fruit trees? Those are on the menu, too. Only way to control

@jzellis Government doesn’t have to “incentivize” economically viable products. There’s no “iPhone incentive” or “HDTV incentive.” Also, government does not “invest” money. It spends money. When you invest, you expect a return with interest. The government doesn’t do this.

@GMShivers Any time you see a claim like this: "Women/Men have been fighting for. " you can just disregard the rest. It's all a logical fallacy. When they say that they're representing that it's all women. At best, it's a subset of women. Probably the craziest subset. ;).

@Oilfield_Rando If you’re working business owner hours, you should demand business owner compensation (that specifically means some kind of equity). Leadership doesn’t care how much you work because they don’t value your time. I’ve seen folks at Fortune 500s work long hours and sacrifice.
