I may have over-reacted yesterday, as there’s been no more cannibalism or murder than usual in my neck of the woods. But 65% humidity in July? It seemed likely that the world was ending. Instead, I am in meeting Hell. I must have joined an Agile group because we spend more time in status meetings than working. I’d go become a teacher or work in healthcare, but the previous post leads me to believe that I’d be racing the heat death of the universe to make that change.
Homemade GUNZ is now a favorite of CRIMINALZ!!! Says a former BATFE employee with no statistics to back him up. The Ghostgunner and parts are significantly more expensive than driving to the gun show and buying one cash on the barrelhead.
I love the TdF — Cops pepper-spray protesting farmers and crash the race. They should just send out Presidential aides in riot gears.

there’s been no more cannibalism or murder than usual in my neck of the woods
Which is to say, there has been an awful lot.
It’s an acceptable level of murder and cannibalism.
Background murder and cannibalism, really.
I hope it’s part of the weather reporting:
“After a week of record lows, today’s cannibalism index is in the high 70s again. Please take care to shield your face from strangers and keep your fingers tucked while handing cash and cards to cashiers.”
“Here’s Jim with your weekend Channel 12 forecast!”
“Thanks, Gene. Saturday, look for a high pressure system to push on through the tri-county area, causing a drop in the cannibalism index through early Sunday morning. Don’t get too excited, though, because the consumption of human flesh will rise steadily throughout Sunday afternoon.”
Perfection!
In comparison to other localities, yes. Where Brett is at, its under 100.

A bit of an unnecessary barrier to entry for most beginners and it can be off-putting for people who view the foreign terms as mystical/religious, but I agree it’s better for precision.

It’s like they are trying to find every possible to not win another election.
I think they’ve thoroughly swallowed, digested, and assimilated the proposition that the majority of Americans want their brand of bullshit (gun control, tranny bathrooms, no-shit socialists, even more taxes, importation of third-world welfare recipients with criminal/terrorist connections, etc.)
It doesn’t matter how badly they lose elections. In their view, the harder they lose, the more powerful were the sinister forces that robbed them of the election that was rightfully theirs (Russians, “fake news”, Koch Brothers, and whatever else they blame for getting trounced).

Imagine the outrage if a black man were beaten by a mob of Proud Boy’s.

So yeah. I’ve heard nothing but good things about those little cars.

WTF??
Jesus. Even SF fiction can’t compete with real life.
Poor kid.
I wonder what the motive was?
5 bucks says it was over a baby daddy
This is why I can never fully commit to a principled stand against the death penalty. I can’t trust the government to implement it fairly but on the other hand some people just need killing.
She Needs the Boats…….
disgusting SubHuman Garbage
Has it entered anyone’s mind why the mother is FB friend’s with this obvious thug, probably gang banger? Drugs? Love triangle? WTF, something more to this story, much more.
Even if some people need killing I still can’t trust the government to do it.
He’ll spend the rest of his life in a hole, likely “protected” and terrified of his fellow inmates if they found out what he did. That’s a good enough punishment to me.
That is what vigilantism and jury nullification is for. Death penalty not needed.
Been saying this for years, and not just death penalty stuff. That loudmouth at the end of the bar? sometimes he earns himself an ass-kicking. NAP absolutist will tell you there’s no time when violence can be initiated, I disagree and think most people do as well, we can’t codify it into law but we should let juries decide if you handed out a legitimate beatdown or you crossed a line.
The NAP is about structuring a Government, not structuring a Society. Different systems dictate different rules but they’ve got to agree at the interfaces. A common law system constrained by the NAP is a really good interface to all sorts of Society.
I get where you’re coming from, but if you start making exceptions to the NAP, I’m not sure how you’d stop everything from backsliding into “punch a Nazi”.
That is where a strong jury system comes in, Sure you have a “don’t punch people’ rule, but instead of some unyielding zero-tolerance enforcement you let a group of peers decide whether you crossed a line or not, and yes that line may move and it may in some societies get to a point you or I may be uncomfortable with, but I think the guy who suckerpunches you out of left field and the guy who clocks you because you’ve been calling his mother a whore for ten minutes straight deserve different punishments. Strict adherence to NAP doesn’t allow that. Perhaps I’m delving into moral relativism but as much as I hate people I still think on a whole they have an inherent sense of right and wrong. Look at how many Libertarian and gun nuts condemned that handicap parking spot shooter guy. Pure NAP says he was aggressed upon and thus he had every right to defend himself but most people see an overreaction, unfortunately, you can’t codify every scenario, but you can let a dozen or so, hopefully, reasonable people make the call.
1. The NAP is not the be-all-end-all of libertarianism.
2. The NAP does not mean that because I was shoved to the ground, I have a right to shoot the person who did it.
You don’t understand the NAP. And, no, there is no get out of jail free card for someone who punches someone who ran their mouth too much. Those things are mitigating factors at best. Someone was a complete dick breaking all social norms, so maybe the punch in the mouth wasn’t as bad as someone who randomly went and hit someone in the mouth.
1 Agreed, never said it was
2 Again agreed, but I have seen the opposite argued here, why I used ‘strict adherence’ where if someone attacks ou you can use whatever force you feel is necessary to defend yourself.
WhiIe it may be true that I do not understand NAP, (I thought I did but I’m willing to learn, hit me up with a good explanation, por favor.) I never said there was a get out of jail free card for punching an asshole, I said if…IF… a jury of your peers agree that said asshole needed punching than it’s all good. important difference.
Completely implausible solutions don’t make great solutions.
Yup, no different than killing a rattlesnake.
Cases like this tempt me to say the same but the government can’t be trusted with anyone’s life and death. Unfortunately that includes the human pond scum that did this.
The death penalty is too good for those people.
I’m with Fronkensteen.
And jury nullification/vigilantism is just lynching. You’ll get more people killed unjustly by the mob than you will by our current judicial system, so no.
I’d bet that doesn’t hold in aggregate numbers. I’d also bet the error rate for extrajudicial lynching is at least as good or better than the contemporary judicial system. If your goal is to reduce total unjust deaths we’re probably better off with a system permitting relatively few lynchings and zero judicial deaths.
I’d bet that doesn’t hold in aggregate numbers.
For our current judicial system? I think it would.
We don’t do extrajudicial lynchings any more, but back when we did, most of them were for things that aren’t capital crimes, or aren’t crimes at all.
Once you reintroduce lynching, I think you’ll find it very hard to focus on people who actually, genuinely need killing. The judicial system doesn’t exist to protect us from criminals, it exists to protect criminals from us, because a mob is a vicious beast without morals or conscience.
Twitter driven lynchings.
*shudder*
Yes, I don’t think hitting on a white woman deserves a death sentence.
WTF? Again? Is there something int he water in Natchitoches? A few years back a similar crime was committed in Natchitoches. What the fuck is it with those people? I lived there for a few years. Leaving was a happy day.
That story is a little fucked up, I bet it’s a lot worse than it looks when the details leak out.
but the pair are friends on Facebook

Somewhat related to the homemade guns stuff, Michael Malice and Cody Wilson on Malice’s podcast discussing 3D firearm printing and Wilson’s recent settlement with the feds (about an hour long):
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LIJ225w4wXg
Interesting stuff…
So, without delving into this… I will later, what’s the deal? Everyone who 3D prints a gun… or no, probably anyone who downloads a blue print, has to be RFD tagged with their DNA code to be located from anywhere on earth for their exact location, 24/7? Or is it much worse than that?
I was listening at work and missed bits and pieces of it but, from what I did hear, the govt conceded that Wilson’s company has the absolute right to post printable gun plans online. As to people using those plans to manufacture guns, it can and will be done and there’s not a whole lot that can currently be done to stop it (they go into this a bit too). Just, you know, don’t get caught if you do decide to give it a whirl.
As far as I know, it’s legal if you make a gun that’s legal where you are and never change ownership of the gun.
I think there was a similar situation in Montana, where someone made .22’s without serial numbers that were legal as long as they stayed within the state.
Just spitballing here, but I recently saw that the Homestar Runner guys are making bank on a Trogdor tabletop/card game, and I remember a few years back when that Oatmeal guy set Kickstarter records and got like a zillion dollars to make his Exploding Kittens game. So Neph and Swiss (who I believe are big gamers) need to get with Sugarfree and CPRM and make a ‘The Hat and The Hair’ game. Get Yufus and UCS to design the board and the tokens/figures. I’m seeing ‘Garb ’em by the Pussy’, and “build the wall” cards, bonus if you also have ‘Make Mexico pay for it” multipliers. “WITHCHUNT” and “FAKE NEWS” cards will negate any attack, It could have Diet Coke and Big Mac power-ups, and Bolton’s Moustache… I don’t know I’m a drunk not a
nerdgame enthusiast.This . . . is plausible.
Agreed. I’d put some dough into it.
Hmmmm. I like it,
Interesting. We are just about to the point where handicapping the midterms makes sense.
Top analyst: Dems now favorite to take House in midterms
The analyst is Larry Sabato; the name rings a bell, but that’s about all. One clue that this might not be completely disinterested: he calls out a fundraising lead for Democrat candidates, but doesn’t mention that the Democrat Party is having a terrible fundraising year, and the Republican Party is having a good year.
Typically Larry Sabato is pretty good. But in 2016, he had the electoral college numbers flipped for Hillary.
I still don’t believe the Dems will take the house. Unless some major event occurs between now and then.
It will. Kavanaugh will get confirmed and they will go apeshit live on national TV. I’m sure that’s going to help them.
Hard to argue with Sabato’s calls. I think GOP will lose 10 seats just in Cal., New Jersey, and Penna. My district will have a Dem for the first time since 1860.
I must have joined an Agile group because we spend more time in status meetings than working.
Ah, the diffusion of responsibility through the assiduous application of committees.
Needs moar DevOps.
How about an Agile Cyborg group? Where you spend more time watching the furniture in the conference room melt.
I’m totally baffled by this ad for a Dem trying to run for Wisconsin Governor. The ad is about abortion, but she also plays up being a mom…
That’s because you’ve been conditioned by right-wing nut-jobs that being “pro-choice’ always means choosing to abort. It is possible to believe that one should have the right to do something without thinking they should have to do it. You know like smoking dope or gambling or fornicating, you may not want people to do it but you may also not want to throw them in rape cages if they do.
It’s not the message, more the delivery that is baffling.
No it’s because killing babies doesn’t mix well with raising babies.
Never heard of thinning the herd?
This message will never make sense to me, and I’m not even pro-life/anti-choice. If you believe it’s murder, supporting “choice” in the matter is blatantly irrational. It’s either a life or it isn’t. At most you can quibble over the point at which it becomes a life. But the argument is not the same as that against some victimless crime like smoking weed.
I’ve seen a bunch of Dem ads focusing on abortion. Cuomo is running a similar ad. They are both retarded because governors have nothing to do with who is on the Supreme Court.
I was in Illinois in March just before the primaries there.
When we go there we stay with my MIL and she had on the Chicagoland “news”
Every commercial break, they had campaign ads for everything from dog catcher to coroner, and every single one of them made some reference to “and I’m going to stop TRUMP!!”
She’s not exactly a Trump supporter but even she was annoyed with it.
Only a loser pays for porn.
