69 year old student in my class. He begins presenting a tired argument in support of gun ownership with the "definition of a militia is..." and goes on to explain the origins of the American Revolution. I told him the counter argument is that we're a couple hundred years past that, the militia was proposed to prevent government overreach and if a well-regulated militia stood up to the government today, armed to the teeth with the finest weaponry allowed by whatever "law" you abide, it could still be crushed like a bug with a single drone strike. He absolutely did not get my point and asked me to explain after class.

Some good points. I'm not anti-gun, but I am anti-gun-nut, and anti-racist-using-gun-support-as-a-veil. Over the past 30 years, the gun argument has changed from "our right to hunt/protect property" to a scaredy-cat "they're coming for me" where "they" is an unspecified, nebulous boogeyman. I guess I'm anti-gun-because-of-fear and more pro-gun as a tool. Pham Nuwen posted:but, like, everyone stood up and clapped when he laid that sick talking point on the old man Believe me, I'm far from caring what a bunch of late-teens, early-twenties students think of my thoughts and ideas. I suppress my personal views most of the time, but when someone is clearly right-wing talking point preaching, the counterargument usually brings the discussion back in line.

As is my point in class -- current discussions are little more than "one extreme or the other," all-or-nothing pissing, instead of an actual discussion. Thanks for proving my point.

Pham Nuwen posted:That's probably not going to get a ton of argument from SA gun owners. Besides, it worked for the Black Panthers, up until Reagan enacted some ridiculously strict gun control in California specifically because of them: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/09/the-secret-history-of-guns/308608/ "Ridiculously strict" is not being able to open carry a loaded firearm in public (Mulford Act)?  Don't forget, the god of the Republican Right, Reagan, also took away machine guns.

Pham Nuwen posted:With open carry off the table, the only legal way to bear arms in California was concealed carry. In California, the issuance of a concealed carry permit is subject to the approval of local law enforcement, who decide if there is "sufficient cause" to issue the permit. There are no true guidelines determining sufficient cause; in rural counties, it can be pretty easy to get a permit. In densely-populated areas, the only people who get permits are judges, celebrities, and people who donated enough to the Sheriff's election campaign. You're conflating history to make a more histrionic point than there is. Reagan got rid of open carry loaded in '67. THAT'S what you said was "ridiculously strict." It wasn't until '12 that open carry at all became law.

leica posted:Friend of mine drove her HHR through a salt water flood during our little hurricane and stalled it. Turns over but there's no knocking. Had it towed to her mechanic and he said the valves might be bent so he's gonna take the head off and check......Is it even possible to bend just the valves and not rods after ingesting water? Absolutely. Valves bend easier than rods. Okay nerds, riddle me this -- I am painting my family room. I have some in-wall speakers with metal mesh grilles. My wife hates the speakers and wants them to blend in as much as possible. I'm okay with that. My thought is that there should be a way to get a paint color that is the same, but lighter, for the grilles so that counteracts the darkness of the open space in the mesh. Have any of you seen that done before? Googling has produced nothing of value. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Sep 2, 2016 |

In other, less sad people paying to gently caress other sad people news, I found a solution to my in-wall speaker grille painting problem. I had Sherwin Williams mix up a sample of the color I'm using for my wall, but using half the pigment. It ended up the same tone, but lighter (obviously). Then I took an old spray bottle that had a wide, dispersed spray pattern, added paint and diluted it about 50/50 with water and sprayed away. The perforated holes in the grilles immediately closed up, leaving the grilles looking like a blotchy mess. After a moment to think , I got the air spraying thing for the compressor and set the compressor at ~25psi. I sprayed the grilles and kept moving/spraying until the holes stopped closing up.loving worked great. I could have gone even lighter, the grilles don't entirely blend in, but it's definitely viable.  Edit: Pic:  The blotch is something on my lens. There's a solatube above, and it's sunny today, so at that angle it looks shiny, but it's standard satin finish. You can see that the grille looks close to the surrounding color, but it's really significantly lighter. Proof of concept, I'm happy. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 6, 2016 |

That's an easy one. It was a twisty, public road. He took the corner too fast and wrecked. It would be difficult for the insurance, even with the video, to make an argument for an "exhibition of speed" clause. All the other cars were stopped, it wasn't a race, it was just stupidity. Insurance pays out for stupidity. his insurance rates after that, though, because it'll be coded really ugly in the insurance system.

PLUS the same accessories work with the KICKR using BT. Edit: I found an old backup CD that was damaged, but I managed to pull a lot of stuff off of it. 20 year old emails are pretty fun to read.

Powershift posted:both front and rear hits missed the bumpers, it must have been squished between 2 brotrucks. Both damaged and repaired pics seem to be taken by the same lot and have the same watermark. Carfax relies on reporting from damage repair facilities... any way you look at it, this is a sketchy sale/company, because they KNEW about damage and didn't disclose, regardless of Carfax reporting, which they didn't do. This example is more an indictment of shady dealers than carfax. I'd be curious to see the Autocheck report for it (I don't know if they do Cananadian cars, though). I've seen information show up on Autocheck that's not on Carfax and vice versa. Every car has a different history... it's your job as a buyer to explore until you're comfortable and the VIN check services certainly have their place. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Sep 9, 2016 |

I resurrected my old main system that I built in... drat, like 2000 or 2001? It's got an Asus P4P800 motherboard and I've pirated parts from it over the years and used it for different testing. When I started yesterday, 4 of the 7 drives were unplugged, including 2 in the group of 3 I have set up in an array. I didn't think there was a lot of hope in getting it to boot, but after about 4 tries, I got the cable sequence correct and... hello Windows XP and my desktop from 2006. In it, I found my favorite picture from my first turbo'd Miata:

That's not on you, that's on her. And that's beside the point now. Your kid knows you love him. Kids are pretty good at processing things. Keep positive (even if it's just on the outside) and ride it for a while. Tell the ex that she needs to explain things to him, that's something else that's on her. Also, get loving help for yourself. If you've got good medical coverage, get to a counselor and/or psychiatrist/psychologist (psychiatrist is a pill doctor, psychologist deals with feels). There is nothing but good that comes from counseling, any time you get your thoughts out to someone, their response helps you see things in a somewhat different way. You're strong, you'll make it through.
