Not mine, but a colleague in the field I used to work in.

Hey IHC can you help me with my brothers car? It's a 2013 Ford Focus i murdered myself recovering because he's a dipshit and the modem finally gave out after being drug on the street for 9 months and i'm an asshole who does things when my mother asks me to do them. When i turn the key with the battery charger applied it makes an (absolutely fucking nothing) sound. Can i swap out the lower front air dams and the modem without taking it to a dealership (the frame is fucked to bejeezus and back and no sane person will put it on a lift) and just bungee strap the hood closed?

Sincerely, white trash in chattaboogee.

Gimme a few minutes to parse that

Think I got the trip right this time. Pic unrelated.

>>110648
Okay, what do you mean by 'modem'? Post a pic if you can.

>Can i swap out the lower front air dams
Yeah, the stupid tree nuts will be a bitch though. You'll need a couple of small (slightly larger than eyeglass size) flatblade screwdrivers or a couple of knives with dull points to pop the center sections of the heads out to remove them.
After that it's a matter of looking with your special eyes to make sure you got all of them and pulling the airdams off.

>and the modem
Again, gonna need to know what you're talking about.

It's too dark out for a good picture right now, it's the little computorial wingding that hangs out slightly inboard of the drivers side front tire with a cannon plug coming in. I do not know the part number or if it is serialized to the car.

Not Islam specifically but it was once known as "the star of Damascus" and was a common proofmark on swords for a while due to it's association with Damascus steel.

The problem with associating simple geometric shapes to any one thing is they tend to be used for a lot of things by a lot of people over long periods of time. In other words, they're memes.

21 million military vets in the USA - less than 10% of which were ever in a combat zone
12 million military vets in the USA collecting disability (thats almost 60%)

you have to assume most of those 12 million are making up bullshit to get free money from the taxpayers. thats fraud and theft, thats what we get from people who claim to be bunch of super patriots working in the best interest of the country's citizens. they should have been thankful to have been given a job to begin with, but instead the just want more, more, more. they're bloodsucking leeches.
and its not just a few bad apples, the statistics show that its more than half of them.

>>110632

>you have to assume most of those 12 million are making up bullshit to get free money from the taxpayers

That'd be a shitty assumption. Most of them are occupational injuries as a direct result of military service, which is a byproduct of the military not giving a shit if your job is fucking up your health.

The real fraud, waste, and abuse are the services not paying the slightest bit of attention to human factors. You're footing the bill for disability payments because of their inability to plan or adhere to any kind of standard when it comes to industrial hygiene, ergonomics, etc etc

Good way to troll though.

The high cost of caring for disabled veterans is one of the reasons... US military will have more combat robots than human soldiers by 2025
The US military will have more robot soldiers on the battlefield than real ones by 2025, a top British intelligence expert has claimed.
John Bassett, a security consultant with a 20-year career at GCHQ, believes deadly combat robots are rapidly becoming “a reality” of modern day warfare.
The claims come as Newsline.com reports that the Pentagon has announced it’s investing millions “to develop prototypes for a combined-arms squad.”
These state-of-the art military units will consist of human soldiers and robots and are aimed at maximizing performance on future battlefields.
Combat robots will rapidly become an inherent part of US fighting forces within the next 10-15 years, defense experts say.
Washington is apparently seeking to gain military edge over China, Russia and other rivals investing in research and development of robotic systems.
Mr Bassett said: “Intelligent robotic weapons – they’re a reality, and they will be much more of a reality by 2030.
“At some point around 2025 or thereabouts the US Army will actually have more combat robots than it will have human soldiers.” http://nypost.com/2017/06/15/us-military-will-have-more-combat-robots-than-human-soldiers-by-2025/

The US economy at $18.46 trillion (GDP 2016) is the biggest in the world, even compared to the entire European Union (EU) of 28 member states at $16.4 trillion. China ranks 3rd at $11 trillion (2016) with Japan at $4.9 trillion. Examining the government budgets (where the taxes go), The 28 countries of the European Union paid 12,616.4 Euros per capita and a total of 6.412 trillion Euros total in 2013 (at 1 EUR = 1.3522 USD, that's 8.67 trillion dollars). That total was more than the US federal budget that collected $2.77 trillion (16.7% of GDP) in revenues and spent nearly $3.45 trillion (20.8% of GDP) in 2013, resulting in a deficit of $680 billion (4.1% of GDP). So this appears that the EU paid the most taxes even though they have the second largest economy.

There are two different yardsticks for comparing tax burdens in different countries. One was tax revenue as a percentage of gross domestic product. The other was tax revenue per capita. Both measures are calculated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of 34 advanced industrialized nations.
PolitiFact National has found that for both measurements, many of the United States’ industrialized peers had higher levels of taxation in 2013, the most recent year for which data are available.
Taxes accounted for about 25 percent of the United States’ GDP -- placing the U.S. 27th out of 30 countries studied. The five with the highest percentages were Denmark, France, Belgium, Finland and Sweden, each of them with taxation accounting for more than 42 percent of gross domestic product. Only South Korea, Chile and Mexico had lower levels of taxation per GDP than the United States.
When looking at tax revenue per capita, the United States ranks somewhat higher but still far from the top.
Taxes per capita in the United States totaled $13,482, according to the OECD data. That ranked 16th out of 29 countries for which data were available for 2013. The five with the highest per-capita amounts were Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, with amounts ranging from $23,000 to $48,000. Eleven countries had per-capita amounts less than $10,000, including Hungary, Chile and Turkey, the bottom three on the list.
While it probably makes the most sense to compare the United States with other advanced, industrialized nations, there is one additional data source that includes the full roster of countries. In the World Bank’s comparison of 115 countries for 2012, the U.S. ranked 12th from the bottom in taxation as a percentage of GDP. Among the countries with lower percentages were two OECD members (Japan and Spain), some wealthy oil-producing nations (Oman and Kuwait), and a handful of very poor countries (including Afghanistan and the Central African Republic). http://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2015/oct/20/donald-trump/trump-says-us-has-highest-tax-rate-anywhere-world/

Yeah, they are persistent. Someone is trying very hard as they are changing their mode of attack every time we block them.

recaptcha (google) is including algorithmically generated pictures among authentic photographs in its captcha challenge photos. this is essentially an exercise in training the millions (billions?) of eyes coerced into interfacing with cuckflare/recuckcha to blur the distinction between shopped pictures and real photos to aid in a future coup.

after subconsciously "okaying" shopped images and associating them with actual reality, its no different in principle than being hammered with propaganda - if it is done with any frequency to speak of - and just like propaganda the aim is to proffer non-critical thinking-and-resistance among the populace.

As if there's a noticable difference really. You have your own two eyes to believe what you see and that is about it - you are never safe from deception.

If they are going to ban all pistols in this scenario, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives is probably not going to issue any approval or permits for short-barreled rifles (a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16″ or smaller than 26″ overall length) or machine-guns. Or probably not even tax stamps for suppressors or anything else restricted in the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 or the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968. My black powder pistols are probably banned in this scenario as well.

People can really get into assembling these guns from kits, components and accessories. How much would something like this cost?

>Commit crime, turn in gun, absolved of crime?
If the crime would be "having a gun" (you found it in a ditch) then it is exactly right. Circumstances do apply there, if you are caught and the evidence points that you possessed it for considerable time, you may as well be found guilty.

>But who watches the watchmen?
You have asked the ultimate question, better avoid doing that in the future.

>That's never been done, and the precedent is that it will never be done, so...
Inevitable things called that because they happen in the end, not in the beginning. Better luck next time.

Maybe if I leave piles of jerky and coffee beans out they'll arrive.

I grew up wanting to hunt with my granpa. He was one hell of an outdoorsman and loved to hunt and fish.

Never got the chance to. He died after he gave the toast at his daughter's wedding when I was about 8. Dude's heart basically exploded and he refused to drop til he was done saying his piece.

Wish I could have learned to hunt from him. I figure this year, I'll start trying before I forget everything about him.

Planning to go with a friend's fiance, as they are both really into it. Not sure where they go. Some manner of private land. My father used to go out towards stampede pass. Otherwise, you are likely going to need to go further afield, and probably rent a plot besides. Wa guns might be a good next step.
