HA HA!!
Some one’s getting fired!
“I felt a great disturbance in the Force… as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. You’d better get on with your exercises.”
Monday Self Censorship
Saved up from all last week. It’s light again, I was busy.
No you’re not.
You can dress it up all you want but it’s still a big pile of meh.
Meh, dogs.
Yes, because people grabbing your gun from its holster is so very common.
$1500 a month for this? Are you high?
Geese are all assholes.
Self Censorship
It’s a short list. Some things can’t be said, even here.
LOL! That’s so adorable. Go on thinking that.
People still do that?
Awesome! Do you get a discount on ammo?
It’s not about the gay thing, it’s about the age thing. Quit making it something it isn’t.
Can you say Confirmation Bias? Sure, I knew you could.
You don’t have to go out of your way at all.
BitTorrent Sync
Want to sync one or more folders securely, for free?
BTSync uses the BitTorrent protocol to sync folders on two or more computers, no server or cloud storage required.
It supports OS X, Windows and Linux at this time.
It’s currently in Alpha release but it looks very promising.

Self Censorship
(This one is a little weak, I’ve been so busy I’ve “marked all as read” three times this week.)
So as long as the cops are nice about trampling all over your rights, it ok?
Not much?
I won’t say that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard but it’s in the top 100 for sure. Congratulations.
Or we could just stop doing stupid things…
LIES!

It’s a music video shot on the ISS. Commander Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity.
And we’re supposed to trust them, why?
The government has masses of data on you and a lot of it is wrong.
I was just summoned for jury duty in a county I haven’t lived in for over three years. I’ve moved, and changed my driver’s license and car registration, three times since I lived in that county yet they still don’t have accurate records of something as simple as my current address.
The NFA database (in which the ATF maintains records of all NFA items like machine guns, short barreled rifles and shotguns, suppressors and ‘any other weapons’) is known to be hopelessly inaccurate. That’s why everyone says to keep a copy of your form 4 or form 1 with your NFA items despite proof of paying the tax not actually being required to be in possession of an NFA item. (It’s like a sales tax. When you buy a towel at Walmart do you have to keep a record of the tax?) The problem is that when you have possession of an NFA item some cops assume you are guilty unless you can prove you’re not. It’s just easier to wave a copy of the ATF form than it is to get arrested and rely on the questionable accuracy of the NFA database to prove you innocent.
So now we have the people currently in charge of the Federal Government telling us we need universal background checks and gun registration. (Can’t have one without the other.)
Given the government’s abysmal track record (at every level) of data integrity how can we possibly trust that a gun registry with hundreds of millions of guns and gun owners in it would be accurate in any way?
We can’t.
And that’s yet another reason to just say no to background checks and registration.
The cat is so very out of the bag now
Thanks to the Streisand effect, the Defense Distributed Liberator is getting more publicity than ever. You would think that someone at the State Department would remember the PGP T-Shirt.
Knowing something can be done is usually all it takes to recreate it. That a working pistol CAN be printed is all it takes for anyone with a 3D printer and the right feedstock to make another.
The Defense Distributed Liberator is a very simple design, like the original Liberator.
“The weapon was valued as much for its psychological warfare effect as its actual field performance. It was believed that if vast quantities of these weapons could be delivered into Axis-occupied territory, it would have a devastating effect on the morale of occupying troops. The plan was to drop the weapon in such great quantities that occupying forces could never capture or recover all the weapons. It was hoped that the thought of thousands of these unrecovered weapons potentially in the hands of the citizens of occupied countries would have a deleterious effect on enemy morale.”
The modern Liberator has the exact same purpose. The US Government couldn’t have done a better job of both popularizing the Liberator or demonstrating the reason for its existence.
People are hosting the files on their own servers and there are bittorrents as well.
You can’t stop the signal.
Bias? What Bias?
12 protestors on one side of the street.
70,000+ people in the convention center.
Who is the media interviewing? Yep.
This guy said he was just there to have fun and had been promised beer and BBQ.
As usual the protestors were speaking from prepared talking points and any attempt to draw them into a conversation (They want a conversation, right?) threw them off because they really don’t know what they’re talking about.
