Sure it does. As a born and raised son of the San Francisco Bay Area I can say with all certainty that, generally speaking, if you can forgive the pun, Californians are nuts. The vast majority of them live in this weird extreme left wing bubble completely devoid of reality. How else can you explain protesters in…

LOL. Nuclear power in California. Politically speaking, it would probably be easier for the state to create militant squads that round up homosexuals and baby seals and send them to interment camps.

Seems like an awful lot of tech to simply remove the need to pour. My roommate has a tablet app like they one in the video and we've had mixer parties just like they show. Only difference was we poured what we needed instead of "dispensed" it. Total overkill if you ask me.

I agree with your overall assessment. The U.S. military knows how to fight. And I think anyone would be hard pressed to come up with a fight scenario where some section (or even more likely a combination of sections) of our military isn't an expert on how to win that fight. But what makes COIN ops tricky is it…

Never thought you where an apologist, just a knowledgeable guy laying it out like it is. And your right, as badass as an A-10 is it's highly vulnerable to MANPADS. As for COIN I don't think any of the forces really know what they're doing. They lack the history and thus the expertise for that kind of operation so…

Si vis pacem, para bellum

Great breakdown Trigger. But lets me honest, the F-35A will attempt to do the job of, but never "replace", the A-10 Warthog :) And at what, like 4 times the price?

I'm not scared. If the SyFy channel has taught us anything it's that the thawed out dino-things will eat us long before smallpox gets us.

Go no farther than to look at GoogleTV. When it came out the first thing most content providers did was attempt to block it. Google learned real fast that some providers are terrified of TV access to internet content, so I think they're playing the long game with Chromecast and stepping things up slowly and…

These are the three necessities in case of an emergency, shown in order of importance. Although technically item three could be used to acquire items one and two, but that wouldn't be very neighborly.

Any complex production like this is going to have it's bumps. That said, Lockheed is truly a master at manipulating the military system. The key is underbidding to win the initial contract. Then they deliver something that technically meets the written requirements but not the functional intent. Now the politics…

Hey! I'm 35 years old.

If nothing crazy happened your doing the beach trip wrong :)

I'm not sure where your from Jesus, and I'm assuming the numbers you'd use would be crime per capita (not total crime which is misleading). I'm also assuming your correct in your comparison and that's great. More power to you and yours. My problem is that far to often we see the UK and Australia used as "good"…

LoL. You know, I kicked around for awhile on what caliber to get my first hunting rifle in till a friend said this. "You'll get a dozen different calibers from different guys for your first caliber. But every guy that picks something else as number 1, always picks .30-06 for number 2.". Went out and bought that…

I don't care that that pic isn't from Firefly. Mal for the win!

I bet the total population of the US makes the entire population of your country statistically insignificant as well. Plus, who cares what the death by gun rate is? That's one of the most misleading statistics used in these gun debates. Murder and violent crime rates are much more telling. I'll happily live in a…

You don't need an FFL to own a suppressor but you do have to buy it from one. You also have to file paperwork and got thru a background check by both your local sheriff and the feds. You also have to pay the feds an additional fee of about $200 for the paperwork and the "stamp" they issue you. Once you get it you…

Very nice. I've got a .30-06 Tikka T3 with a similar setup for deer and elk hunting. I've also been kicking around the idea of a custom Remington 700 setup for 206 rem, strictly for long distance target shooting.

You've clearly never spent much time in the Rockies. I've been looking at picking up a gun like this for exactly the reasons described. I go hunting in bear country and while bear attacks are reasonably rare they happen often enough, particularly when you have a fresh kill in the area. The idea is to have a sidearm…
