We never see them policing up the brass (the spent casings that fly out of the guns after a round is fired) which would be a necessary prelude to “making bullets” but I would assume some of these groups has been doing so against the future ability to make their own reloads.

The Day of the Dead is not about “dead walking skeletons.” It’s about remembering one’s ancestors.

No need to buy anything fancy—just get some aluminum foil and wrap the key fob in it and presto: Instant Faraday cage. It you’re extra paranoid wrap it two or three times and fold over the open ends to really isolate the fob from ambient RF.

You perform good acts for the sake of the beneficiary. If you do something good for someone in expectation of thanks or some other reward then you’re doing it for yourself, not the other person(s). Children understand this once they get past a certain age. Of course, 45 is a big baby so, of course, he doesn’t…

Chambering a round requires a separate action from inserting the magazine.

Nice job Jimmy! 

I’ve met Francis.

Technically it’s not a pyramid scheme if there is actual sell-through of the product or service to an end user and it is those consumer sales that form the bulk of the revenue. If the bulk of the revenue is from new sucker/associate/participant sign-up fees and purchase of “start-up kits” then it’s probably a pyramid…

In the 80's the A-008 was sold in several sizes and was marketed for use on sports cars.

These ADVAN HF Type D’s look just like the A008's (which are also Yokohamas and also from the 80's) which are still available. What’s the difference?

Using a white box has the same potential issues as using a black box if that’s the only thing being done differently.

No need to update the presentation—a rough iron spike that goes through the actual floppy disk’s media is more appropriate. It’s like saying, “I sympathize, here’s something to help you, but, oops, it’s totally destroyed so “Fuck You” I guess.”

Mueller already knows how to circumvent the Presidential Pardon: Work with state AG’s and make any charges State charges rather than Federal charges. This totally defangs 45's ability to pardon someone since he can only pardon Federal offenses.

It’s a big country so it is probably more the case than you realize.

I think the in-universe reason for the trope is that bartending, waiting tables, construction jobs, etc. are easy to get and the employers are willing to forgo ID, references, etc. in exchange for being paid under the table. Win/win for the incognito hero/villain and the employer.

The colonies might not have had sufficiently large industrial bases to support a relief effort for the home planet.

Good for you!

Happy to hear that it solves a problem for you.
