This is fucking stupid. Vinegar? What in the hell gives you the idea that vinegar will do anything other than hurt you in this context?

While boric acid eye wash does exist, you're going to go broke buying it in the multi-liter quantities that you need to wash out tear gas.

Water, just water.

This is peak Ron Swanson: "I wrote myself a permit"

"Administrative" warrants are a lie, they have no legal authority.

Any government official that uses one should be prosecuted criminally for violating civil rights under color of law.

Any reason not to use normal saline vs water?

These are just summaries of unfiltered tip line recordings.

This is a deliberate tactic, put out unfiltered garbage, people get outraged over, and then disprove it when the outrage peaks.

So when the real stuff comes out, it's buried in a sea of garbage.

I haven't given them a dime since 1994, when Wayne LaPierre stood told a group of 6-8 us at the convention, that we were too stupid to know how politics works, and we had to give up our semi-automatic pistols to keep our hunting guns.

And that malignant cancer is still around.

The NRA is a Republican club with a gun hobby.

It is absolutely despised by most informed gun rights supporters.

Hydrolysis H2O at best 90% efficient, less w/ balance of plant. H2 is slippery, it will diffuse through metal, so piping leaks.

Air source Heat pumps move 2-3.5x heat per energy input even at -10c vs < 1x burning H2. Ground source HP can get up to 5x at even lower temperatures.

Simple math

What the heck are the additives to the water supposed to do?

You can extinguish them by rapidly cooling the pyrotectic compound, plain water will do that, but you are at serious risk of substantial injury from a steam explosion if you put a thousand degree canister in a sealed container.

Reality is bad enough, you don't need to make shit up.

Fear-Mongering about colored smoke only adds to the power of fascists.

No, putting them in water will not extinguish them or prevent them from going off.

If one goes off in your hand, you will lose fingers.

Modern " safer" flashbangs have a very high failure rate on the safety aspect. Treat them like the bombs they are.

If you're unfortunate enough to be in the area where flashbangs are being used;

Do not pick up, do not attempt to kick or hit them away with any of your body parts you want to keep, if these devices have been thrown or rolled across mud or snow, they can move violently when they go off.

Legal Jeopardy. Sorry about the typo

Be aware that these are considered NFA registered destructive devices, and the unlicensed possession of them is a quarter million dollar fine in 25 years in jail. Do not pick them up, notwithstanding the safety aspects, you are in serious lethal Jeopardy If found in possession of one.

I was out elk hunting once, and got to watch a family of bobcats play with each other, not more than 30 yards away. They did this for more than half an hour.

It's the longest time I've ever actually managed to see bobcats at less than a quarter mile.

Known enough about logging operations to know if 3 years is long enough to actually recover costs and make a profit.

Like so many things this is performative. It's a fuck you to the cultural enemies of the orange turd.

Specifically for oil and mining, there is no possible way you can develop, install infrastructure, and extract enough resources to pay back your costs in the next 3 years.

Because you know, that's all you're going to get is 3 years. And maybe not even that.

Imagine you are decision maker for a major extraction, company, oil, timber or mining.

The orange shit stain issues, an executive order that may or may not be legal, allowing you to go explore previously restricted areas for resources.

When you get to pay pay rights to this area.

It will be completely understandable if you authored this paper, to sell everything you own, pay for plastic surgery, change your name, and become a hermit in some distant remote wilderness area.

There's no coming back from that paper.

Ds request absentee ballots, and collect them. One of the few convictions for election fraud had a guy being beaten because he was only paying $5 and one mini of liquor per ballot vs the norm $10 & 2 minis

The cops arrested him with multiple absentee ballots stuffed down his pants.

Espanola, NM

Locally, the Rs request absentee ballots for occasional D voters. These voters get them in the mail, think they are junk mail And trash them.

Then when they go to vote in person, they are forced to cast a provisional ballot which is not countered unless the race is close.

When I say the party accusations about the other parties cheating are generally correct, Democrats tend to invent fictitious votes, and Republicans tend to try to suppress voting and counting the votes.

After almost a decade of "in the trenches" experience in elections and voting, voting systems have gotten better, as a result of Bush v Gore.

The D/R party's accusations about the other parties cheating are generally correct.

Except for unicorn races, the cheating doesn't change the outcome.

As an example, If you look at overvotes, more than one vote for POTUS, Gore had 68k Bush 24k. Any standard for divining that the voter really didn't intend to vote for a third party, will always favor the candidate with the most raw problem ballots.

Relitigating this election is cozy fantasy.

As somebody who has successfully sued the New Mexico SOS to force a recount to change the results of an election, I'm well aware of chicanery possible in recounts.

The Fl voting system was utter dog shit, trying to analyze a garbage system results in garbage.

All of the analysis indicates that if SCOTUS had not stopped the recount, under the rules established by the Florida court for the recount, Bush would still have won.

To get to a Gore win, you have to ignore the initial recount rules, and recount the entire State.

I did a little work in the past in modeling of battery physics.

I have become the ultimate skeptic about the popular science articles about battery technology breakthroughs.

I only get interested when there is commercial availability.

This is very interesting. I'd love to buy stock in Group-14

Of course we know the real distinction between the garden club, and the people charged. It's a holdover of the Puritan culture that says that somehow somewhere someone is having fun with sex, and that's bad..

That any crime was charged at all, given the facts outlined in the article, is a travesty by itself.

The government's theory: my gardening club says that I have to do 5 hours of unpaid labor, in order to be part of the club, they have engaged in criminal forced labor?

Insanity is 2 mild a word.

When I was defending my PhD dissertation, my advisor was my harshest questioner. The committee chair shut him down fairly abruptly, complimented me on the presentation, and immediately moved for a vote.

My advisor sat there with a shell shocked look on his face. I passed.

I need sources. Very interesting but the internet is full of made up shit.

How was this information obtained?
