Some say the world is sliding left, some right but I see a slide toward more centralized government controls, more defect spending and decreasing civil and economic liberties.
I'm not too concerned with the social...
You're right to be concerned. A friend's son is a physician. He went to a liberal medical school and, in her opinion, it changed him from a normal person into the woke guy he is today. She is not happy about it.
My usual carry gun is a Glock 26. Being 6'6" I can pocket carry in most pants but I had to look long and hard to find the thinnest possible holster that still worked. Depending on the day I may carry IWB. It's 10+1 but depending on my clothing I may use an extended mag.
It's a tradeoff for...
That's right, but the military owns most of the ships. They also select the operators and negotiate the charter contracts.
They can dictate the terms so long as they're willing to pay.
Regardless of who is operating the ships, the Navy cannot sit back and blame vendors for logistics...
I'm fine with it.
There are two grocery stores in Crawfordsville, Walmart and Kroger are across the street from each other and compete hard on pricing. Aldi plans to build a store just down the street from Kroger's. These are low-margin businesses and surge pricing isn't going to change the...
It's interesting because the basic rules of supply and demand are easy to understand. I've met people who clearly understand the economics of the market yet will not drop support for government price controls.
Last year I had a long conversation with a smart accomplished woman who ran her own...
Shocked, shocked I am.
The suspect, Malcolm Darnell Guss, Jr. has a long violent criminal record with seven prior felony convictions.

The good news is that a suspect has been arrested, heavily charged, and has a $2m bond.
The bad news is that George Gascon is the DA.
From August 2023:
"Democrats who voted for Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said they want the top prosecutor out because his progressive...
Harley has tried to move forward; Buell, the Street series, and the Livewire were flops. The Pan American had a lot of good reviews early but I've read their used price has tanked. A $20k+ adventure bike isn't an easy sell in my book.
They are morphing into a boutique brand that makes a few...
I'm sure this is true for some BOD members but, like all good political types, these guys can read the political winds. Wayne had the board locked up with his cronies. Some, perhaps most, will slither into new positions publicly yet continue to scheme for personal wealth.
I'm one of the...
It could be a protest that's anti-oil, anti-Israel, anti-aid to Ukraine, or just a plain old French political protest.
Why put in the effort to disrupt things if nobody knows why they're being disrupted?
As of the last news I saw nobody is taking credit.
COVID was declared a public health crisis and that resulted in our right to assemble being severely curtailed.
Similarly, our surgeon general just declared gun violence a public health crisis. The vast majority of gun violence occurs in just a few postal codes. Perhaps we have a precedent...
There is plenty of beer that doesn't taste good (to me) but it's been a long time since I've had a bad beer. I can usually apricate the quality even if I can't finish it.
We'll, expect for IPA. That's simply a cult of retched lost souls trying to look cool.
Oh, and any beer that has notes of...
We've had T-Mobile home WIFI for a couple of years. We live rural so the only options are satellite or DSL; both of which are far slower for us. T-Mobile is okay. Outages are rare and short, it's fast enough even when my daughter is home on school breaks and gaming. $60/month for unlimited...
We may see car companies start using the data themselves to disallow certain warranty claims.
I'm sure somebody is connecting the fact that GPS knows the speed limit and how fast you're actually driving.
This is a routine story about a scumbag that escaped custody in 1994, adopted a new identity and has been living on the run for 30 years. Nine years ago state officials asked the US Marshall service to help track him down. He was arrested earlier this month. What caught my eye is that the...
It's no secret. Google's T&C state they monitor your personal email. Yet, I'm surprised at how many people don't care.
Hell, if you have a newer car with an infocenter it's likely sending all or your driving data to the manufacture who can sell it or share it as they choose.
