A bullet to the head is the only way you could think of to kill yourself? Really. You could easily jump off a bridge, jump off a building, step in front of a vehicle, jump onto the track in front of subway train, pull a knife on a cop. If you were determined to kill yourself, you wouldn’t have been researching how…

Back in college, as I was leaving Chico, light came on as I got onto Hwy 99. Friend pressure me to keep going. I panicked when we got to Woodland, 80 miles away. So we put in 0.99 gallons of gas, that stupid 9/10 cent thing. Made it home to Davis, another 8-9 miles. Got gas the next day, put in just over 18 gallons of…

A suppressed 22 LR is 110 dB, centerfire rifle is about 135 dB. A jackhammer is 110 dB. So it is far from being silenced.

It’s not that rare. Hilary took donations from one of NRA’s lobbyist. Even Al Gore took money when he represented Tennessee. Politicians will do anything to get elected.

And a visit to the police chief for a signature and 6 months for a FBI background check so you can spend $800 for a suppressor.

Suppressors don’t typically reduce the velocity of the bullet. There are only a few guns designed with a suppressor that slows the bullet down. For the most part, you still have a loud bang and the sonic boom (crack) can still be heard.

It’s not going to make it easier to kill people or confuse law enforcement. A typical sound suppressor is over $800. People don’t go spending thousands of dollars to kill someone when they can go rent a U-haul for $19.99 and run people over.

You would still wear hearing protection even with suppressors. 135 dBA is still louder than a table saw. It does allow you to use hearing protection with less NRR. Even with 30 NRR ear muffs, you still can get hearing damage when you are exposed to 160+ dBA of a typical gun shot. The sound does conduct through the…

That’s why there are multiple engines. The remaining engine(s) have to be able to continue flight from the takeoff phase to landing.

I know no one wants to hear the science facts of suppressors. They lower the sound level from about 160 dBA to 110 dBA for 22 LR. For comparison a rock concert is 110 dBA, so is a jackhammer. A table saw is 105 dBA. Suppressed pistols are about 125 dBA and suppressed centerfire rifles are 135 dBA. A balloon popping is…

There’s California legal and 49 state legal cars. You pay more for the California legal ones.

No so in California. CARB doesn’t even look at tailpipe emissions. They scan you OBDII for readiness codes, though they are looking into checking whether the mapping is stock or not in the future. They also do a visual inspection from the air filter to the last cat. If it isn’t stock, it must have a CARB exemption…

You are more than welcome to pay the old rates. You don’t have to take the cuts if you don’t want to.

H&R Block, Turbo Tax, these companies contribute millions to campaign funds to ensure the tax code is as complicated as possible.

These so called journalist, most likely failed math. Don’t complicate things with things like numbers and percentages. They don’t understand that. Trump’s ______ is bad. End of story.

And they tell my neighbors what they can and can’t do with their houses. It’s AWESOME. The rule that requires residents to park only in their driveway and garage, but not on the street is great. My wife’s old house was in the next community (non-HOA) and you could never park in front of her house because between 3…

Gladly pay to not have neighbors who are a nuisances. I like looking at houses that have manicured lawns. I like being able to drive down streets without cars parked every where.

Unfortunately bureaucracy exists not just this country. One local fire fighter took his own initiative to go to Mexico to help with extracting people out of buildings. He said if he ask to help, he would still be sitting on his butt waiting for Mexican officials to give him the okay to head down there.

That includes armed security guards because the local PD doesn’t really cover the area. They actually show up in under 15 minutes when you need them to deal with something trivial, unlike the local PD that may show up anywhere from 2 hours to never. My main reason is the access to the clubhouse which includes a full…

The more you pay HOA’s, the more a-holes they become. Mine is pretty good at $71/month. All they complain about is parking on the too narrow streets and making sure your front yard is kept up, and fences painted the correct color.
