Just got home from 5 days of perfect weather in Riviera Maya. Ocean Maya Royale is a fantastic resort. We specifically chose this place because it's not huge. You can walk anywhere in 2 or 3 minutes. There's a swim up bar, 24 hour bar, tons of activities and live entertainment. The restaurants are absolutely excellent, and without lines or reservations. We're going back next February.

I see people putting those mini red dot sights on Glock MOS pistols. IMO, an AR pistol that takes Glock mags is a much better platform for optics. Here's my next fun gun. Also takes Glock mags https://ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/specSheets/19100.html

I got it with a 4" barrel. Just the right length for a suppressor...hmmm

Just bought a 9mm AR pistol from them than takes Glock mags

If serious, let me know.

If it were me I'd probably take the job. If not, you might get forced into taking something not as good if severance/unemployment were to start running out. You can always keep looking, even if you take the job.

Vacation is negotiable even if they tell you it isn't. All they need to is populate the seniority date in their HR system. Most companies will do this if they want you. If you leave for a new job do you lose all of that $24k?

If I could only own 1 firearm, it would be a G26 with both OEM 10 & 12 round mags.

yup http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/06/investing/wall-street-computers-program-trading/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom

The market was way overdue for a correction, but today was a bloodbath.

Stockers off eBay?

FMJ "ball" is good enough for the military, so it's good enough for me. I carry with high quality fmj target ammo. IMO, it cycles a bit more reliably than hallow points. Also, if you ever had to actually fire in self defense, a talented opposing counsel would try to paint you as a gun nut for using high end defense ammo like Black Talons....at least that is what I was told by an internal affairs officer.

So do the KKK marches that are actors paid by Soros to make it appear that Trump is aligned with those groups.

I've seen this argued to death from both sides. Puerto Ricans do not pay Federal Income tax, but they do pay into Social Security and Medicare, and are eligible for some benefits. Puerto Ricans cannot vote for President. Puerto Rico has it's own Constitution Puerto Ricans claim Puerto Rican and US citizenship. Some also claim Spanish and European Union Citizenship. The US Gov't and Puerto Rican Gov't both recognize Puerto Rican as a separate nationality (i.e. not American). I tend to think that while Puerto Ricans have some American rights and benefits they are not full citizens. They would not be full citizens unless Puerto Rico became the 51st state.

I won't argue the accuracy of these statements, but do you understand how they are related? A similar question would be how does tightening EPA regulations have the reverse affect of actually increasing environmental impact?

I think crypto currency is here to stay. It will certainly change and evolve as it finds it role. But i don't think it's going to go away.

The resist movement is quite similar to a toddler candy aisle temper tantrum.

I'm probably not going to invest in any of the actual currency. I've watched Bitcoin for awhile and just never felt confident at any entry point. Block chain tech is on the other hand has me interested. The ETFs I mentioned just started last week. They have potential to grow a lot over the next few years... probably not nearly as much as Bitcoin has but you never know. I just threw some dollars at BLCN. I plan to leave it for a few years and see what happens

I haven't touched Bitcoin, but there are new Blockchain ETFs that started last week...BLCN & BLOK. Seems like they COULD have a big upside IF that tech gets more widely accepted.

The word racist has become so overused and misused in recent years. It's beginning to lose impact in a "boy who cried wolf" kind of way. Race baiting, and falsely accusing someone of being racist is every bit as bad as actually being racist.

^^^ In fairness, in regard to the government shutdown, both sides could have easily avoided it if they chose to, they obviously didn't. This was just 3 days of grand standing and posturing. The shutdown itself is a meaningless symbol. The shutdown under Obama (2013?) followed the same playbook. As far as immigration, this is what I have witnessed with my own eyes ( I could post the campaign videos, but I trust we've seen them already): Clinton campaigned that we need to tighten our borders. Democrats cheered. He did little/nothing about it, Democrats said nothing. Bush campaigned that we need to tighten our borders. Republicans cheered. He did little/nothing about it, Republicans said nothing. Obama campaigned that we need to tighten our borders. Democrats cheered. He did little/nothing about it, Democrats said nothing. Trump campaigned that we need to tighten our borders. Republicans cheered. He is attempting to follow through, Democrats call him Hitler. In regard to DACA specifically, I don't think that Trump has the intention of cancelling DACA. Remember he said he'll give to Congress and they have 6 months to figure it out. I think that was a negotiating tactic to get funding for the wall. Take DACA away then offer it back to get the wall. We'll see how it plays out. Now, immigration big picture. Neither dems or reps in DC give a fuck about individual immigrants. It comes down to votes...immigrants are more likely to be dependent of gov't programs and vote Democrat. Democrats want to maximize those potential votes, Republicans want to minimize them. That is immigration in a nutshell...it's been that way since the Civil War . The sides have just changed a few times since then .

I have a G42. It's not my favorite pocket pistol, but it gets carried sometimes. It's plenty small to fit in a front pocket.

The G42 is the baby-est Glock

Not a fan. Some have said the cheaper Bersa copies have better triggers.

I don't agree with every word, but that's actually a pretty insightful post.
