Holy shit, did a business just advise people to look to their safety and survival before buying their product? You won twitter today, I salute you.

yea cause no one could yell 'police' at the door, and not really be police. Man has a right to carry, especially in their home. Unless he raised that weapon to fire, this is a murder.

on the out of work list at the hall for 8 months. Finally took a non-union job to pay the bills, while still checking in with the hall regularly. A few months later I get a paycheck deduct , and the union hall sued me for

A lot of mil-bros have great skills, they are also lacking a shit load of skills that civilians have. Some forget the massive logistics machine required to support one trigger puller. As the Havamal says: No man is so low to be without worth, or so pure to be without fault.

Fought one of the largest empires on earth to a stand still, and gained independence for most of the country.... Then gave it all away. Under Britain you would of been oppressed. Under Sinn Fein you will cease to exist...
in the post-apocolyptic wasteland, my call sign will be same as it was in Kabul, "HVAC1". Will barter top rate duct and ventilation systems for food, or stuff.
I was examining my property from an attacker's perspective, and how I would assault it. Some very uncomfortable conclusions, against 5-6 or more half competent attackers Id be in real deep shit. Its a problem.

I have friend, a former marine, just return after fighting near Bakmut and suffering a serious concusion from IDF. He told me there are whole platoon level units that are western volunteers, mostly US GWOT vets who are just bored, broke, or failing to adjust to civilian life.

the nominee is a globalist, antifa adjacent, who marched with literal communists in Atlanta - impeding free movement, free commerce, in alliance with a movement that assaulted and killed innocents. His own statements are contradictory, anti-Constitution, and have no discernable
@MyLordBebo
how all these cops/soldiers/guards were captured like this is really crazy. Were they unarmed? Something bigger behind this. Horrible stuff.
I don't know why I keep getting followers, I hate that term, but let me clarify I don't know shit about shit except HVAC and commercial construction, I'm not a vet, not trained, and have a GED and a journeyman certificate. Half of what I spout I stole from someone else or read

No ham every helped me with shit. Like they have some secret shit and aren't sharing. Bought a half dozen books, watched dozens of hours of videos and was still struggling. GGTBF had me operational in 2 hours, and taught me other important shit on how to communicate.

I personally do not, nor do I think we're going to vote ourselves back into the 1950's. Demographics is destiny. I'm going to hang out until it collapses of it's own absurdity then carve off a big enough piece to support my kith and kin.

I'm quite surprised at Russia's restraint with the increasing overt NATO involvement, particularly in the Black Sea. Is it fear or strategic patience?

The right is half the reason we're in this mess. I won't be relying them or considering them allies. The right wants power, I want freedom. We're incompatible.

I'm a novice with night vision, looking to upgrade from the cheap amazon shit I have now. My 2 needs I foresee are locating other IR users, and driving/moving with no lights. Having a family my first aim is to avoid contact not of my choosing.
wife asks why I buy all the chili, soup, boulion, seasoning, and gravy packets? Do you want to live 12 months on plain, beans and rice? No further questions.
I used to buy those premade buckets, but now I make my own with mylar or vacuum sealed bags. Example 5 gallon bucket I
Grabbed an analog scanner, my final wish list item. Pretty comfortable and content with my set up now. Ham, short wave, CB, scanner, with laptop and tablets for data bursts. 30' antennas. Will take some hours refining TTP to make the most efficient I can. CB is busy as hell
We're all good

There are several conflicting issues here. Territorial integrity versus the right of people to self-determination of government. The US government by Nuland's own words had involvement in the coup. It's not as simple as either side claims. Wish that it was.
@Shadzey1
What does it even mean?
Do I wish people harm based on their ethnicity? No.
Do I feel more comfortable among my own? Yes.
Am I automatically superior to anyone because of race. No.
Is blanket hatred stupid? Yes.
Is ignoring data and evidence dangerous? Also yes.
My 68 year old mom is in the ICU with heart issues and AFib, she's never had heart issues or high blood pressure. She also bought into the vax scam and has had like 5 shots. Is it related, I'll probably never know. Was telling the superintendent on this job, and he said he had

If DC truly felt Russia was a threat surely they would of donated their personal millions and sent their sons to fight . Dont ask me to do what the establishment is unwilling to do.
well in good news, we close on the lot for new shop tomorrow at 12:30. Will give me more parking to allow me to get a stake or box truck with lift gate, a forklift, and double our fabrication capacity. Going to build an improved welding area with fume exhaust, get a 14g. brake,
Loading up for the Missouri cabin weekend. No address, no electricity, no roads, no noise, no people. Need the mental recharge. I love rural SW Missouri, good folks, lots of Amish. It's my 'if shit goes back to the stone age' plan. Only down sides, ticks and copperheads
searching for a first car for my oldest, well hello there
He's been working and saving since he was 14, he has about $6,000 saved. So I'm just covering the difference to get him something that's worth a crap, and he'll pay me back.
The arrest of this UCLA protester caught the attention of many Chinese in the US. Someone identified her as Liu Lijun, graduated from Chinese People´s University, hometown in Shanxi. She is not a Muslim, but a member of Chinese Communist Party.

Aye we may likely die, but death in defense of those I love sounds better than dying from a heart attack from drinking Bud Light and eating Cheetos in the recliner. I'll save a seat for you.

And so one dies one's self;
But a noble name will never
Landed 2 high margin negotiated jobs this week, about 300k of work, and turned down a bunch of jobs due to man power shortage. People are paying anything just to get someone, it's a really weird situation I haven't seen before, because small businesses fundamentals are horrible
Spent the last couple years obsessed with radios (baofengs). Zero training, read the books, watched the vids, dozens of them, and messed with a dozen models for a few hundred hours or more, and dropped several thousand in equipment Here's my current thoughts on radios.

I've been avoiding doing business with blue states for years. Local control company I used to use a lot got bought out by a huge California company, and quit using them. My two local equipment rental vendors got bought out by DEI-ridden United Rentals, and dropped them like a

So got First Aid, CRP/AED (Adult and Pediatic), BBP, and FAST (Stop the Bleed) scheduled, since it requires an 8 person minimum and I only need to do 4 for the business, I put the word out to the homeschool group that I'd train another 4 to 6 of the community on the company dime.

Russians have done far less to negatively impact my life than DC. If Russia was such a threat surely members of congress would of donated all their millions and sent their own sons to Ukraine.
Old journeyman in his 60's named Karl when I was a pre-apprentice told me the old rules of working class financial survival.

before he took office they'd be burning documents like we used to do on the FOB, there would be so much smoke coming from the white house you'd think we had a new pope.
my son who just turned 14 got his first job. Cleaning antique cars and hot rods 18 hours a week. One thing I can say about my kids is they hustle and aren't afriad to work.
