It’s simple. I don’t need different bags for specific purposes. That’s wasteful. I just use the same bags for range time and travel. Obviously I couldn’t tell you how a whole ass gun gets left in there, but I could see a few accidental rounds or casings.

I got stopped going into Canada and their dog got a hit on my bag in the back of my truck. They accused my wife and I for over an hour of trying to bring weapons into Canada. Told them the dog has a good sniffer and that I frequently use that bag at the range, but that I was in fact just traveling to visit national parks and that if I was bringing in guns to their country it wouldn’t be through a major point of entry and would be in the thousands of miles of semi-unmonitored border.

Correct.

Source: I travel a lot and often do this.

Since this is the first arrival I imagine it was more about setting up a command location and creating temporary shelters for people to be right by where the aid would be provided.

That said… what would also be more helpful is if we stopped providing weapons and ammo to Israel until they agree to properly negotiate and come to some kind of an agreement that keeps Palestinians from being shifted, moved and displaced while simultaneously bombing them at free will. It seems weird that we’re both selling the bombs to the attacker and providing the aid to the attacked.

Bad news, I’m not the person you’re quoting. I’m assuming your native tongue is Russian. Because you’re either very pro-Russia, or your tongue is at least in Putin’s asshole.

Last time I checked, Ukraine was in fact part of Europe. It’s a bit strange, I know. So with that, maybe attacking Ukraine (again, part of Europe) is attacking Europe. Oh, and that answer should answer your whole “and is trying to bring back the USSR” piece of your question. If you’re gonna simp for Putin at least just own up to an unproved attack and a land grab, no need to dance around like it makes you morally superior.

Dumbest take. Japan isn’t even part of NATO, and Abe was killed only 5 months after the start of the war. Abe was also mired in controversy within his own borders for a multitude of reasons.

Wow, what a bunch of antisemites.

It’s only equivalent to something like a pour over. Most people can’t properly brew something even remotely close to the straight caffeine content of the charged lemonade. Not to mention that to most people a lemonade is refreshing and they’re drinking 24+ ounces of it at a time.

You’re looking at it from the perspective of caffeine per ml (which still, is not close since they’re artificially loading this with straight caffeine), but it’s really more about how this guises the caffeine behind something refreshing and easy to drink in large quantities. It’s why fruity alcohol cocktails are so much more dangerous to drink since they cover how much actual alcohol you’re consuming.

This puts into context how truly dangerous Panera’s lemonade was: combining instant coffee and monster energy drink together would only net you maybe 200mg of caffeine (160mg from a 500ml monster, and most instant coffee is incredibly weak with 25-40mg of caffeine being in them). You’re combining two known stimulants together and still cannot approach 1 charged lemonade. It was incredibly stupid of Panera to make this, and then defend it (although I get why they defended it in court).

Except that it’s currently at 3.5%. The last time it was that high was 2012… and every quarter since at least the 2000s. We had record lows of delinquency during the pandemic as people paid cards down heavily with their government stimulus. While that was a wealth transfer, this isn’t any kind of an indicator more than it’s one from Forbes trying to spook average Americans so they can buy up more property when it collapses again. Link

Maybe a company that has (mostly) made consoles isn’t exactly playing games or has people on staff on the executive level that play(ed) on a PC. I’m 30 and outside of a brief time I tried to play on a PC I’ve pretty much been console my entire life. My first gaming experiences were all on console. It’s completely logical for a company to make a move like this when they have specialized in one area for a time.

While I’m all for helping avert the inevitable disaster from human caused climate change. Most of the parts of Arizona where it gets hot AF have always been deadly and like this. The difference for a long time was less concrete and asphalt, and less people. Honestly a lot of the areas around here in the Nevada/California/Arizona desert regions were nomadic areas with people coming to live here during more pleasant winter months. Living here in the summer is still a bad idea.

The entire bottom paragraph of what you said is entirely wrong. I support Palestine and stopping Israel, but a majority of Jewish people (62%) in the US are fine with the war and the direction it’s going in. As are most Americans. Your point of not having majority rule is true to some extent, but it’s hard to argue that while also knowing that not respecting Majority rule is how we got the first trump administration… Data

Good news, it’s surrounded by water! Bad news, it’s surrounded by water. 😡

It’s not a ridiculous concept, it’s one that’s been tried and failed. Do you want innocent people hurt, or do you want the guys wearing body armor and with guns to be the ones that (potentially) get hurt. The risk is generally a lot less for them to get hurt than civilians. Your point only makes sense if there was only the one person doing this, and even then it doesn’t matter. This was the safest alternative to what would have happened if this had been served elsewhere save for an empty field. Police tactics learn from mistakes (mostly because the FBI puts this all together and makes them learn it). Here’s what happened in 86 when the FBI tried to arrest two known felons in an open field: Link

Don’t act like a victim when you’re simply ignorant and should just listen first before speaking.

Do criminals go to completely empty fields often? Do they find themselves in areas with no other people around? The one area where innocent people are likely to not be around between… say 8am-3pm M-F is? A residential area. Look at heat maps of suburban cities and how they basically completely lose population during the day. The one major business park I live by causes the city of 100k to nearly double in population during those working hours.

I’m not saying that each situation couldn’t call for something more tactical regarding apprehension, but considering the hour and day served it at least wasn’t during a time when people were likely to be around. There really aren’t a lot of areas in a major metro like Charlotte where you could safely serve a warrant without innocent people being around.

You’re literally arguing over cops being shot. They did their job. It sucks they died, and I hope their families get support and help, but had this been innocent people this would have been a massive fuck up.

You’re commenting on something with literally zero information. The most we know right now is that the guy the warrant was initially for was shot right out front in the very beginning in an exchange right at the go. Someone was inside the house, heard it, and opened fire on the cops/Marshals. Look at the helicopter views of the house. It’s pretty open. That’s the problem, there was no cover, they had an additional suspect open fire on their position. That’s all we know. You’re speculating something while being 100% ignorant.

Asking that warrants be served “not somewhere residential” (meaning at the suspects home) however is also incredibly stupid. Cops take risks. They know the job, and sometimes shit goes bad, but maybe shopping centers are better for serving warrants in?

Ah yes, the places without people that people often go to. If they were already this dangerous the situation would have simply been worse by putting them in non-residential areas where other innocent people could have been caught in the crossfire.

In my city, we made national news because the cops served a warrant on a guy while he was driving. Next to a park. Which he proceeded to run through and grabbed several hostages and then killed them. The best area, and worst, is their home. They could be armed and ready to fight like this, but it’s better than facing off with them in shopping areas, businesses, parking lots with others, or anywhere else.

The better question is why is someone who continues to be so dangerous for society that we need a response like this allowed to both be out freely, and have access to firearms.

Yes.

What are ya doin’ in ma swamp?

I think Google just sent out a memo to all apps pulling the YouTube API to start showing ads or they’d slow their services and potentially stop them.
