AR-15 lowers have been made out of wood. Oak works fine as the lower doesn't take most of the force, the upper does.

Sure they look goofy and are big in a bunch of places where metal would be small. A drill press and a block of good wood is all that is needed.

The 3D guys are after something that takes zero artisan skill rather than what all the other "low-tech" methods require.

PS, for you eurotrash in the audience, making an AR out of a block of wood is perfectly legal in most states in the US as long as the intent is to use / have it rather than sell it at the time it was made.

Several years ago, robots.txt usage where the webmaster asked not to be archived, did not say anything about robots.txt on Archive.org. It just didn't have it.

Why not go look at what the robots.txt says and cross reference it with what Archive.org says you have to do?

It won't turn up in a court case.

They'll do "parallel construction" and rely on anonymous tipsters (that don't actually exist) to create a case based on what they can infer or dig up after digging through all the information. That stuff will be in the case, the fact that TC is compromised won't be mentioned or implied.

This seems to be like an ordinary web site defacement at this point. No information indicating it's not just that has been discovered. Yes, speculation abounds but so far it's just someone stirring up trouble with a web site.

No. The problem is access to hunting lands. "Oh, you want to hunt on my private ranch? That'll be 2k!" There is very little public land in Texas to hunt on. Also, who in their right mind would would let a bunch of people hunt? (Not sure, we do it all the time up here in dah Nort, but not with pig hunting.)

So the issue becomes rancher pays a few professionals to get rid of pest pigs. Then turns around and lets one or two parties hunt. But overall, the pigs are left alone.

COULD we eat more of them? Sure, but it's cheaper and easier by far to plop down yet another pig farm.

The problem is the large chunk.

I'd have no problem paying say $25 for 5 channels I want above basic HD at 5 each. Right now, I gotta pay about $75 per month for about 8 premiums I watch plus a lot of shit. It also seems like over time, the premium channels have gotten less and less valuable. It used to be that turning on the TV, and surfing the premium channels would result in a choice between two or three things I wanted to watch. Now it's 60 channels of "why the hell did they even film that?" stuff.

The RATE at which the good channels are charged will go up. But. BIG DEAL the overall cost still goes down.

Where do you think "anonymous tips" come from?

On another site, there was a thread about a guy ranting on his Facebook wall about militias and general right wing stuff. He included something along the lines "you should watch out, people are getting angry" (paraphrased). The FBI called and wanted to talk to him.. Stupidly, he went to them. They had a folder FULL of his online activity, some of it going way back previous to the rant. They had no warrant, and he went willingly (stupid, but whatever).

The point being, they record everything you do with an electronic communication device, and back fill until they find something or think they "know" you.

There is likely to be an entire hidden justice system going on. The problem is, because it's hidden, we don't know what makes it work and how it is motivated. (Hint: IRS investigations used as a political weapon.) This "justice system" acts by tipping off the facade justice system out front.

There has been a HUGE increase in the number of "we got these guys" without a reason HOW they got those guys. I think the hidden system is trying to appear useful. They used to just ignore smaller stuff like drug lords, gang activity, etc. Now they don't. They need people to think it's useful now, where it was just used for political purposes before.

This stuff is way bigger than just "parallel construction." Whatever it is, it is not us anymore. The grand children of the Millennials (those idiots) will not have a "United States" as we knew it to live in.

Not posting anonymously, because they'll figure it out anyway.

DR in this case, is "Disaster Recovery".

Look up the various tomes and processes for businesses and do the same things for yourself (minus the stupid certifications and $200K transferred to some consultant's hands) or find something specifically tailored for that

This blog web site was written by a guy that had to move his family during hurricane Katrina, and it has all sorts of processes and things to do to recover in that situation. It's old now, but you can add a modern twist. (I'd recommend an encrypted hard drive at a friend or relative's place as a backup.)

Here is the link: http://www.theplacewithnoname....

Warning: Disaster Recovery is a lot of dumb, boring, bullshit work that you have to keep coming back to re-do, that's why people don't do it. Not because it's not useful.

Yup. 91% rubbing alcohol on the pits. Trim now and then.

Dries stuff out. Kills everything. EXACTLY what I want going on in my pits. Plus, cheap as hell and won't stain clothes or cause reactions from people sensitive to scents.

Not to mention copyright issues, trademark issues, "you are stealing my content" "no we are not" issues.

This is really stupid idea.

404s have a purpose and a place. If Granny Boomer and Missy Millennial can't figure this out, they should stay the fuck off the internet.

Selling the finished product is only illegal if the INTENT at the TIME OF CREATION was to sell. (WIthout a manufacturing FFL license that is.)

Use it a few months, then sell it? Totally legal.

From the liberal's mouth.

Vandalism and destruction of property is a "natural reaction" (and therefore, appropriate, because, it's natural!) by unions.

"Songs of Distant Earth" Arthor C Clarke has a set of stories like that.

Inheritors have to go through probate.

Just like any debtees do.

If the IRS is asleep at the switch, too bad for them. Obits are publicly posted, as well as probate hearings.

The IRS seems to have no problem figuring out the political leanings of non profits to selectively harass them, they can figure out how to notify themselves when someone who owes them dies.

I see you subscribe to the "don't make me beat you any harder, kid" school of life.

Congress did that. Not Al.
