  1. We all have smartphones. Record every police interaction, be polite, answer no questions beyond basic courtesy, give permission for nothing, follow any lawful orders/requirements.

     

    The above linked story about the Ohio highway patrolman bartering sexual favors for torn up tickets should serve as a reminder that while the majority of police are decent folks, they are human beings and total pieces of shit are amongst them like they are amongst any large enough group of people. Sadly the union protected him previously, and even went out of their way to say how good of an officer that dirt bag was. That's a whole other conversation though.

  2. I fly all the time and I don't care what people say about how you catch it. I'm not at all interested in being around people coughs and sneezes if someone has Ebola. Bullshit it's not catchy or that it's more difficult to get Ebola than the common flu. Again, if it was they wouldn't hazmat suit everyone involved.

     

    They hazmat suit everyone because of how deadly it is if contracted, not necessarily because it's easy to contract. Obviously we've seen that healthcare workers are particularly at risk. Though I mostly agree with the sentiments in this thread. Stay the fuck out of Africa unless you're willing to be treated in African hospitals.

  3. Carry a 1911, 5ish pound trigger, condition 0 and folks think your nuts.

     

    Glocks, 5ish pound trigger, are only carried that way, but are safe because Glock.

     

    I know, booger hooks, bang switches and all that, it's just humorous.

  4. Size 42US

     

    Just gauging local interest before it goes on eBay. This is easily the highest quality riding jacket I've ever owned and it would work as the upper in a two-piece. I've only owned for a season, and didn't wear it that much. No tears in the leather or mesh lining. Overall excellent condition, no slides.The jacket is super perforated and moves a lot of air for leather. Would consider a trade for a PS4, possibly boom booms.

     

    $450

  5. I think an important issue specifically regarding "carry" threads is that regardless of how you feel about a particular firearm, handling it, or even shooting it, isn't the same as having that chunk of metal/polymer on your person all the time, in different positions or places easily accessible. So hearing personal anecdotes helps whittle down the list, since its not always practical to borrow a bunch of different firearms for a few days.

     

    For instance I love the G19, but don't care for how it conceals. On me, it leaves a noticeable print in almost all of my normal positions (jeans and a T-shirt, no jacket) and would obviously serve poorly for pocket carry. At the same time I absolutely hate shooting my LCP, but carry it almost as much as the P938, and if I'm wearing business or even business casual it's the only real choice I have. While the Sig is pocketable I find it a bit too heavy for slacks, and while I adore my N82 Tactical holster, the visible clip is still a no-no for me.

     

    So I suppose I'm saying don't limit your choices to a strict list, or a single EDC. Carry what you can, on a need by need basis, and don't overthink the small details, we're already in the realm of the vastly improbable.

  6. USC LOL

     

    I imagine this happens all the time though.

     

    Our coaching staff has been sending scouts to insert hometown for some time now. We are impressed with your skills, and think you'll be a great fit at USC. In meetings we have discussed that you may be the most dynamic insert player position in your whole class.

     

    Go Trojans!

     

    Insert this year's coach

  7. Agreed about Hyde, but his chances were over with the suspension. I would disagree about Braxton, he has what it takes athletically, but we need to win, and he can't get injured. I honestly don't care if he wins because last time a buckeye QB won, all our heads inflated and we forgot there was a game to play.
