    Flock cameras, you are being spied upon ( Major privacy concerns)

    I've been following this part of the story. They found what the cameras record, but they also got the encryption key used to communicate with "home base". So it's bad enough that the images are saved on the device (or at least a good portion of them), but with the encryption keys they could...

    Bad shoot in Indiana has lessons for you here in NYS

    The idea that you have to wait until a criminal gains access to your domicile before you can confront them and prevent whatever crime they were thinking of is just more evidence that our .gov WANTS us to be victims. Once a criminal crosses onto your property it should be your RIGHT to make sure...

    Michigan Drivers Could Pay by the Mile Under New Road Tax Pilot

    Let's start by auditing all the tax money declared for "road repair" to see where it is all going. It sure as hell doesn't seem to be going to road repair. Between the potholes and some asshole's idea of a road surface being "loose stone and oil" (wanna kill motorcyclists much?) they obviously...

    Supreme Court blocks mail in ballot law

    Do we really want the .gov to be able to track who voted for whom? I can understand marking mail-in ballots as important election material for tracking purposes. Let's go back to the method that used to work: the person has to request the ballot, should have to fill it out it in front of a...

    Sugarbush Armory in Attica filed for bankruptcy in March

    Everything I've read so far said it is likely a recoil spring too heavy, preventing the slide from moving back far enough for the spent case to interact with the ejector. Either way, I'll try to get to the range and see if I can get some go pro vid of the malfunction, and write up what I've...

    Sugarbush Armory in Attica filed for bankruptcy in March

    No mods. At least not before I started trying different recoil spring weights. Which didn't help, BTW. Metro Arms Corp, Manila, Phillipines - Imported by TriStar, North Kansas City, MO. TriStar American Classic II 9mm 1911 5" barrel 10+1 rounds supposedly comes with: 19# mainspring 11#...

    Buying Gun Parts in NYS Puts you on a List

    ummmm... ex-NYS Motor Vehicle Inspector here, and what we have to go through is entirely too draconian. The tiniest infraction, such as a crack in the windshield or a small hole in the floor, is an automatic fail costing people hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Most people cannot absorb...

    Alexandria Ocasio Cortez - The gift that keeps on giving

    Well that's a VERY low bar to jump. :) I wouldn't hire her as a garbage collector. She is a vapid poser. Poster child for penicillin. Probably has a stamp from the CDC on her saying "biohazard zone".

    US and Iran conflict thread. ( merged threads)

    I think some will. #walkaway was a real thing. There's no evidence it ever ceased to be. Many honest democrat voters are fed up with the bullshit going on in the DNC right now. How do you think Trump got elected in the first place (or the second, for that matter). Moderates, fence sitters...

    City council UNDER FIRE for allowing non-citizens to apply for police department

    Because technically firemen have arrest authority.

    THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

    I'm still waiting for the last "dividend" we were promised.

    Federal Government Backs Supreme Court Challenge To AR-15 Bans

    so what does NY use when they decide a great idea for a road surface is loose stone and oil? (maybe they have a secret desire to kill motorcyclists and people in convertibles?) I know the oil they use is fairly thick and sticky. I've had to scrub it out of my arm after wiping out on my...

    Alexandria Ocasio Cortez - The gift that keeps on giving

    They need her. She's their hand puppet. I'm sure this isn't the first time she's had someone's had up her (literally as well as figuratively?). Her apparent intelligence is a ruse. Her only claim to fame is that she can remain awake to read the teleprompter and not wander off looking for some...

    School me on Data Centers

    Don't believe it. This is a straw man attempt to negate the legitimate concerns of people who would end up living next to one of these mammoth industrial complexes. The majority of people opposed have no ties to China. And the concerns they raise are not because of something they read on CNN...

    City council UNDER FIRE for allowing non-citizens to apply for police department

    I'm fairly sure MOST of the non-citizens being allowed to become police are those with legitimate authorization to be in the country. If they allow an illegal to become a police officer any and all arrests made by that person are tainted and will not stand up in court. But how would a foreigner...
