"My car is doing something. What's wrong?"
Kids, we need more information than that.
Most of the groups I'm in are cars that have significant diagnostic ability and a cheap, simple, scan-tool will tell us what trouble codes the engine is throwing.
More expensive scanners will also tell us what's wrong in other systems too.
Without those codes on a fully computer managed engine, we cannot help you.
Thanks in advance.
The President is likely not immune if they have SEAL Team Six snuff the Supreme Court.
He's only immune while performing official acts.
Acts that are sanctioned by the Constitution.
Commentators are getting absolute and presumed immunity confused.
Presumed is used the same way as "presumed innocent" here.
I'm getting as sick of people saying, "Happy Fourth of July" as I am of "Happy Holidays!"
It's Independence Day.
Saying "Happy Fourth of July" is like saying "Happy Eleventh of November!" or "Happy First Monday in September!"
It's not the name of the Gorram holiday.
So, be a rebel, call it Independence Day.
AR15 News mentions Mr Edwards article in the attached video.
Though I think that "restored" requires that it had to have once been made as a machine gun and isn't any more. Without Chevron to let them lawyerize the word "restored" to mean "converted" we might just skate.
I think that "once a machine gun always a machine gun" is very vulnerable now since they pulled that right out of their asses.
They really can't read.
The Democrat floating the theory that the president could order a SEAL hit on the supreme court and be immune is missing something very important.
Impeachment. Impeachment can carry more punishment than simply removing them from office.
Wiping out an entire branch of the government would seem to meet the "high crime" section of the prerequisites, no?
One might also hope for the SEAL team to say, "These are unlawful orders, aren't they?"
Even if El Presidente is immune from criminal proceedings for ordering a hit on SCOTUS, the SEAL team is not.
It's definitely a constitutional crisis level of speculation.
All of the above ignores an important factor.
If the president orders a hit on the supremes and it is carried out; immunity from prosecution is likely the least of their worries because it will be a signal that "it is on."
Break out the Hawaiian shirts and cue the "Boogaloo It Is" soundtrack.
Shadow does not flee at the mere sight of Beeper being carried past her now.
She did seek the place she sleeps as a shelter when Beeper was placed on the other side of a glass door, though.
Once she'd sheltered there, I opened the door and Beeper is roaming the house with all the doors open.
I expect some fur to still fly, but this is feeling more like normal kitty politics than the "You will DIE!" stuff we had for a while.
Beeper is very neurotic about Shadow.
We theorize that she was kicked out of her previous home because she couldn't adapt to a new pet and she's still carrying the trauma of being abandoned.
Bear? The Bear abides.
When Beeper and Shadow get too serious, he will utter a growl that sounds like a GAU-8 and the girls STOP.
Bear does not want justice. Bear wants peace.
That air carried Standard SM-6 I mentioned a month ago?
It's got a designation. AIM-174B. That's an air-to-air missile. The one pictured is inert, no warhead, no motor; you can tell from the blue bands. I think this one is for separation testing.
The War Zone has a whole article on it.
Phoenix 2.0?
Basic poverty keeps me from being an early adopter.
This has saved me from a thing or three.
Occasionally, I'm just late to the party.
I'd have bought a Colt 2000 or a Remington R51 the day they hit the shelves if I'd had any money at the time.
Happily...
Well, the gun rags are all a quiver about this new Rost Martin RM1C.
It's a plastic framed striker fired 9mm.
Again.
How many is it now?
It looks like a screaming deal with a sub-$500 MSRP.
But so's a S&W SD9 2.0, it's sub $400.
I'm jaded.
I've watched the new hotness come and go too many times.
I got a S&W M&P because they were the hotness, just in time for all the gunwriters to switch back to Glocks.
Nothing wrong with either.
There's prolly nothing wrong with the RM1C.
But I can also remember when the P320 was teh hawtness. Then they started going off on their own. Bet the Army is happy they skipped field trials, huh?
But I want this new gun to make it. We need more successful American companies, not fewer.
We don't need American companies importing rebranded foreign guns neither.
I spent far too long trying to figure out why the shutter sound on my phone's camera wasn't working.
There's a switch for shutter sound that did nothing.
In the Multi-Volume tab there's a switch for "Auto-Mute" which "automatically mutes apps based on usage patterns."
What fucking usage pattern indicates that I want the shutter sound off when I have selected it to be on in the camera app?
I hate this trend of putting the settings for a single thing in 15 places.
Going from regulation to law is going to make some interesting practical changes.
The law says that the FFL cannot sell to a prohibited person.
The law says that a prohibited person cannot purchase or possess a firearm.
The law says that NICS has to be done 922(t).
The laws don't say what information has to be collected from the buyer.
The law would be satisfied with attesting that, "I am not a prohibited person," and submitting to NICS.
Here's where the wheels come off.
The law doesn't tell us how to tell one person from another when we submit to NICS.
Congress punted this to the regulatory agencies to figure out.
Now that punt is invalid.
They've got some work to do if they wanna keep their intrusive threads in the purchase of firearms.
With Chevron repealed and the wave of lawsuits coming...
It removes a lot of power from being concentrated in and around DC.
I wonder if this will cause the people snuggled up to the Federal teat to seek other centers of power.
It'd warm the cockles of my heart to see them get real jobs.
I am old enough to remember the attacks against President Reagan because of his age and presumed mental decline.
Accusations that Nancy was really in charge. Or VP Bush.
Where are these voices now concerning President Biden? Where are the accusations against Jill? Or Kamala?
I can see them here and there, but they're different voices.
They are not skits on Saturday Night Live.
They are not full page editorials in Newspapers.
They are not given significant air time on shows like 20/20 or 60 Minutes (are those shows even still on?).
Never mind that Ronnie's decline happened after he left office, it didn't happen noticeably while he was still president.
I had my doubts about Joe back in 2020, but footage of him talking then compared to now is stark.
A case could be made that the people putting him forward to run are committing abuse of the elderly and infirm. A felony in Florida.
It staggers the mind.
