Big Purse strikes again!

Nobody’s using assault rifles on the streets of Chicago or any other US city. That is fully automatic rifles with cyclic rates like those you cite. Every rifle sold in the US shoots one bullet with each pull of the trigger and that is much lower than 600-1000 rounds per minute.

A 1000? What are you facing a meteor swarm?

The beginning of my classical education began with Bugs Bunny.

Watch out for those dangerous pointed objects that currently are terrorizing London. I’ve got about 30 of them in the kitchen that are just waiting to join a potential crime wave. Not to mention the 20+ screwdrivers I’ve got in my toolboxes. 

James Bond would never wear a windbreaker and gloves together.

In England, that plus the crowbar constitute a “dangerous arsenal of lethal weapons.”

Shadow banned on Kinja means you can post and it shows as being pending, but nobody can see it. Not in the grays, totally blocked from anyone.

Yep. I’m currently banned on every site except for Lifehacker and its sub-sites. I was a favored commenter on Gawker before it went away.

We have a BBQ chain around the corner from us that sells smoked turkey breast. No matter how good the average turkey burger tastes it cannot equal smoked turkey with provolone on a fresh bolillo or Italian roll. 

I tried buying and selling equities (stocks +ETFs) back in 2015 when I first rolled my 401k over into an IRA. It took me far too long to realize that I don’t have the time or real interest to get good at picking winners. So over time I dumped everything and having been buying two ETFs: QTEC and VT. QTEC gives me a…

I also refuse to use the terrible hamburger buns that come eight to a package. I buy fresh bolillos from the local grocery store and serve them whole if small enough or cut them in half if they’ve made them larger. 

I bought a burger press off of Amazon to ensure uniformity. 4oz is the size I target and they are about 3/16 inch thick when they go on the grill or in freezer to be cooked later.

Ally is offering 1.75% on their savings accounts currently.

If someone does you favor, like help you move (twice), don’t be a complete jerk-off and fake an injury when it comes time to help them move. 

The murder rate in Jamaica and Venezuela is much higher than in the US.

The problem is SS is a worse investment than even buying and owning US Treasuries (a very conservative investment choice). If you had the money withheld from your weekly paycheck and bought T-bills yourself, you’d have more money for retirement than SS is paying you. Plus, if you die before you retire that money is…

I like grilled cheese sandwiches, but they are almost never on the adult menu.

You can manufacture a very effective submachinegun out of stamped sheet metal. The gunsmiths of Peshawar manufacture crude, but effective AK-47s. Prohibition doesn’t work.

We got a $25 gift card from Longhorn Steakhouse for Xmas, so I’m going to drive over there in the afternoon and buy two Filet Mignons to eat at home. We’re going to grill some vegetables to go along with it. And some tortellinis in a parsley/garlic/romano/olice oil cheese sauce.
