We are all potential criminals which is why we need the most honest group of people that ever existed (people in positions of power), to protect us from ourselves.

It hurts the cause far more than it helps.

I currently don't have a Glock in my collection, and admittedly, it feels amiss. I had my 2nd gen 17 for 10 years or so, countless rounds, never a hiccup, and I really regret parting with it. I see a 19 in my not too distant future.

JR, I'll take the i7, looking to build a streambox for my main PC.

We need to take action now, the "people" trying to keep these machines of death and travel legal for purchase are enemy number 1.

Basically, all guns. http://m.rollingstone.com/politics/pictures/the-5-most-dangerous-guns-in-america-20140714 Completely unrelated, see below for my list of homes with the highest statistical likelihood of ending up on fire. 1.

Hahaha, we got a little badass over here.

Everything about that made sense to me.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu, we have plans tonight or I'd be down.

There is no 'yes' like a 'terror-yes'.

My steam library is fucking swelled, so I've been less inclined to buy shit this time, but I have bought a few gifts for friends. Waiting to see if the Dark Souls 2 DLC gets even a minor discount, and I may pull the trigger in Wasteland 2.

Congrats, and good luck out there.

Congrats OP. Keep it up, restrict the diet further if you can't do typical cardio, till you hit goal and then adjust. When I started trying to get back down to what I view as my natural weight range, I was roughly 40lbs over where I wanted to be. I knew my body would no longer stay where it use to be via weight lifting alone. It took 5+ years of putting on fat before I accepted a lifelong change in eating habits was required. What I did may not work for anyone else, but it worked for me. I knew I was playing the long-game, so daily or even weekly scale-checks were unnecessary. I only weighed myself every few weeks. What I had to change was the type of food I was regularly ingesting, and the portion sizes of those foods. I started dedicating myself to regular cardio and weight lifting routines. I typically do one or the other daily, the cardio being a 3-5 mile jog depending on how I feel that day. If I go for a long walk with the family, snowboard, play a game of b-ball with friends, or do a lot of swimming etc, I allow a skip for myself. Eating was mostly limiting fried bar-type foods, being easy on the breakfast fry-up style bfasts, eating a sensible lunch, and I typically let myself enjoy a decent dinner, mostly adjusting the portion sizes, and speed at which I ate. If you're calorie counting I was around 1700-2000 per day. After a year I am roughly 172lbs, down from 205. I want to be a bit slimmer, but I feel much more energetic, and healthier. My diet allows me to occasionally indulge, and when I hit that 165 goal, I will be able to further adjust to maintain instead of steadily lose.

Yeah, why should anyone ever mind having to take time out of their lives for unnecessary health screenings/mental evaluations and have several phone calls with bureaucratic morons who lack the simple cognitive reasoning to think " ... twirling a pencil? That's a gigantic waste of time ... " before brutishly swiping the whole file off their desk without a second thought. This is national news because normal people keep hoping these nannystate cowards will eventually be shamed into understanding that making a big stink about twirled pencils or, god forbid, breakfast pastries that kind of look like a gun when you're high enough, only earns you deserved ridicule. Sadly, it only seems to be getting worse.

I tend to go to the Delaware outdoor range because it's so freaking cheap, but only 25-100 yards for rifle. Briar Rabbit and Thunder Valley are going to be your longer options that I'm aware of. Or even better, a friend with a decent amount of land.

This article was very interesting and worth the read, and I appreciate a lot of the view points. However the very end of the article oversimplifies the idea that 'paying attention' to these quacks may actually solve something. It won't, and it didn't. In many of the cases he cited, he specifically went over just exactly how much attention these pieces of shit received. Mental health evaluations, friends, girlfriends, parents that didn't want to see the truth (which I can almost understand), and the list goes on. Though I do agree with him wholly when he goes over that they already desire to kill, and find convenient reasons to do so. The sad fact of the matter is if we desire to live in a society with individual rights, such as freedom of speech, expression, or religion, we have to allow scary speech/ideas, and we can't just lock people up for crimes we're afraid they may commit. That's the rub, they actually have to go through with something horrible before we can act. Also circling back to paying someone mentally ill, possibly psychotic, more attention, having been targeted in my professional life, by someone who was highly delusional, if not full-on schizo, receiving late night calls, messages, finding this person in my office before I got in, all in response to a perceived slight, is enough to make you want to treat every person who may have similar issues like they have the fucking plague. Do not take notice of me, do not fixate on me, I never want to see or talk to you, or I might end up being first on the 'list'. It's a genuinely unsettling thing, and I carry a gun almost every day. Lastly I won't say that the solution is 'everybody needs to be armed', as much as I am in full favor of one having the ability to defend oneself, if most people carried firearms, we'd see more bombs, or gas, or whatever, because these people exist, and they will find a way to do what they will.

Ok, that's pretty sweet.

DVR is setup for the series. I know it's not live, but better than nothing.

Very cool, congrats.

I only throw specific biodegradables out of my window when driving, apple-cores and the occasional banana peel when the guy behind me is pissing me off. No one's gone off the road yet, but one of these days ...

This thread has become better than when it started. On Topic: I am waiting for a nextgen system to wow me with a killer app. Also, PC gaming is so cheap, and awesome right now, I barely touch my consoles.

People treat their fucking dogs like they're their own kids today which is a massive problem. When these asshole's dogs fuck up, every possible avenue is taken trying to shift the blame, when fact of the matter is the dog was out of their control, even if only for a second, and even if he/she's never acted in such a manner before. If my dog bites a neighbor kid, and that neighbor kid wasn't antagonizing him I would put him down on the spot. Because he's not my kid, he's a fucking dog. As a pup we tried to socialize him to our neighborhood, and neighbors with regular walks, and by letting the kids in the neighborhood greet him, and pet him regularly. Generally this is all the training a dog needs to acclimate to his surroundings. Of course this mostly comes back to being a shitty, or not shitty pet owner.
