No. When Perot re-entered the race, Bush's polling numbers didn't go down more than Clinton's. Exit polling showed that about half of Perot voters would probably have stayed home if they didn't vote for him. Of the remaining half, they were pretty evenly split between Clinton and Bush. Perot...

I need to find a new FFL. The guy I talked to before decided he didn't want to email me back :/ I'll try and find one within the week that is suitable.

They can shut off the internet because they control the Internet service providers.

I guess it depends on what caused the internet to go down. The phone network is similar to the internet. Your phone call isn't totally analog anymore. It may be for the last mile to your house, but once it hits your providers network, it's probably turned digital. The PSTN network is almost...

Parts of honey break down into hydrogen peroxide when put on your skin. I think it has something to do with salt on your skin interacting with the sugar molecules in the honey.

I can't think of a realistic scenario where just that would happen, but it was the hypothetical we were working with. Intranets work, but Internet doesn't.

I guess part of the scenario depends on why the internet went down. Do all the routers and switches stop working? That would take down internal networks and cause hundreds of millions or billions of people around the world to die. Losing just the internet for an extended period of time would...

Good thing they only buy a box of 5 per year!

The one in Rochester will be opening up in a couple months! You guys that say, “Just drive out of state.” ignore the fact that it just makes it harder for the casual person to go shooting. New potential firearms people won’t get the chance to shoot and will never be drawn to our side. That is...

Bosnia It's your first, and it seemed you actually needed your rifle there.

It's not too often that people only have a handgun or 9mm carbine and don't have at least a shotgun. A 12 gauge is easily effective out to and past 100 yards. I hunt with a 44 mag handgun too. I usually bring both with me. Of course it's a challenge.

That's what I was going to say. I'll say August 10th, 2018

I wonder what will happen if you ever cancel prime. Photobucket recently disabled all 3rd party hotlinking to photos. So, if you had photos hosted on their site, linked from here with IMG tags, they are no longer visible (unless the owner of the photo pays for it). What a pain in the ass. They...

A larger caliber gives you more options. I had a not so perfect shot at a large buck a few years back. He was standing pretty much broadside, but his vitals were covered by a large maple tree. He knew something was wrong, but didn't know exactly what was wrong. I'm pretty sure he was about to...

Welcome to the site. Glad you could join us. No promises about the shaving videos. I can’t control @Doc8404

I have no way to tell exactly how hard it is. It was plenty hard before tempering, and I did a pretty standard temper for the steel. I'm guessing it is somewhere around 60-62 RC, but that's just a guess. I messed around and cut some cardboard even though it wasn't totally sharp yet. It easily...

I'd be interested to see any information you have on this. I was always under the impression that this was a county level thing.

He has no say though. It's all up to the judge. The judge could say, "F the state, I'm not rescinding any permits." Or the judge could say, "I revoke the permit." And the clerk would it. The clerk has no say in the matter. They just do what the judges tell them to do.

I seriously debated about not recertifying. Part of me says "F the state, they'll never know." The other part of me says, "You're going to be the one who is F'ed if something happens." In the end, I decided that I couldn't chance not recertifying. The law says what info the state police shall...

Lots to update here. I finally got around to working on the knife a bit. Once I sanded the scales down a bit to closer match the profile of the steel, I had to heat treat the steel. I stacked up a couple paver bricks into a little oven and used a mapp gas torch to heat the steel. Unfortunately...

The Bill of Rights isn't a restraint on individuals. It's a restraint on the government. So, no, they wouldn't be violating the Constitution.

I'm going to close both threads for now. PM sent to OP.

Depends on the building I would presume. The purpose of the Conservation Fund is to support "the care, management, protection and enlargement of the fish, game and shell fish resources of the state and for the promotion of public fishing and shooting." So, a pump house building for a trout...

Not sure if you're aware, but the revenue from hunting licenses stays in a conservation fund to improve habitat, purchase land, and do things conservation related. It's not like it goes to the general fund.

I've been using Rage 2 blade mechanicals for years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for a bow. I've shot 6 or 8 deer with them and have never had an issue with them. Not sure if they work well in crossbows, but I would assume they would.

He will probably be charged with hunting out of season or hunting with the wrong implement.

Lahren seems to have no personality. Anybody see her on Steven Crowder's show?

"Aside from raising questions of local control, does that mean a county clerk or a sheriff’s deputy then has to go confiscate the guns of someone who hasn’t recertified?" The Sheriff has never had the authority to do that. A judge has to revoke the permit first. There are going to be a lot of...

They do entertain all sorts of crazy ideas.

Why not just cry to the government to step in and make those big mean cell companies implement 5G? That's basically what NN supporters are doing. They support the government stepping into a private business and telling them how to run it.

Why?

damn, that is one ugly handle

Suburbs on the east side of Rochester. So choose a cell phone provider that has unlimited plans. So, the government should step in because people have trouble finding jobs? .gov shouldn't be giving out dollars to begin with. Just because shitty decisions in the past have been made doesn't...

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I'm leaning towards a Kershaw Blur. He's into tacticool stuff, but nothing too crazy.

Agreed, but there are lots of things that I'd rather have than gold if SHTF. While have some SHTF isn't a bad thing, concentrating on gold isn't the wisest idea. I would be way more willing to take excess food, rope, salt, nails, etc in trade than I would gold.

title says it all. I drew my brother in law for Christmas this year. He could use a new knife. I'm looking for a folder, drop point. Suggestions?

and.... I'm off to bed. Good discussion today. I've wanted to bang my head against the wall a few times, but it's been fun :D

You still haven't addressed network prioritization at all, which is probably my biggest gripe about NN. You keep going back to the "they'll charge me more for Facebook" argument.

serious question @Willjr75 and I don't mean for this to sound negative, so please don't take it that way. Do you know the differences between bandwith, throughput, jitter, latency, and error rate? Most people have no clue what each of those terms mean, and it's important to know when talking...

Has Darth ever had to pay more to post in his Rainbow 6 thread? Nope, you're just saying what might happen. I'm talking about actual things that NN actually does. You're talking hypotheticals. NN says that all packets have to be treated the same, and that's BS. I'm saying that the hospital...

I'd be happy to bring in constitutional rights and bring free speech into this, but I don't think you want to go there.

I'm saying that ISPs have a finite amount of throughput. They can only transmit X amount of data per second. Computer networks use a FIFO (first in first out) method for routing packets. Priority routing moves certain packets to the front of the line. This doesn't necessarily increase bandwidth...

Speed isn't the same thing as priority. My comment is accurate.

Found it So, you're willing to put people's lives at risk to make sure people can post shitty lolcat memes on Facebook at the same priority as a doctor performing surgery?

Do you believe they should give people in first class extra attention and give them priority with drinks, blankets, headphones, etc? I'm not sure if you ever answered my question about this. What's wrong with an ISP prioritizing traffic from a hospital that is doing remote surgery? They...

And those people would save money if what you think will happen.
