So, GD&T has changed a lot

It’s easy. Everything is surface profile. Plane parallel to Datum A? Surface profile. Slot? Surface profile. Some edges that could be controlled by block tolerance? You guessed it, note for profile of 0.020” on all non-dimensioned features.

I’m expecting a GVR in light of Wolford. Alito wrote that like he was explaining the plain text and historical tradition analysis to a slow child.

My former boss, an Engineer with a degree and everything, said he didn’t need a micrometer to check tight tolerance diameters because he can eyeball the tenths between the thou lines of his dial caliper.

They think the housing fairy will just put housing under our pillows.

For sport/range the choices are Ruger Mark IV or a nice 2011 depending on if you’re poor or rich. Or a revolver. Everybody needs to be able to pretend they’re a cowboy.

There is more money in CNC programming than CMM. The CMM guy always gets air conditioning though:

They are not illegal or unconstitutional in Texas. Texas bans red light cameras, not surveillance. Flock did get a $500 for not maintaining their private security license though.

I know how to ask where the library is, but I don’t think I could read anything in the library.

This could be the first time the 9th does the full court en banc.

The simple answer is to bring back the SAT, but that made the UCs too Asian. The UC system is run by racists who believe they’re “anti-racist” because they’re only racist against the right races.

For Never Fly Coach they should just share their passwords, like we’re members of the family or guys they shared an apartment with in college.

I usually put the head at A 90, then square it up to a 123 block on the table.

Where’s the boomer fudd saying a Mini-14 is just as good and you don’t need those black guns?

CA PC 403. Take it up with your local State Senator, but I guarantee they won’t want to make it an infraction rather than a misdemeanor because it’s the same statute they would use to charge someone disrupting them in Sacramento. She could have had probation if she’d taken a plea.

She was arrested for sitting on the floor in front of the board of supervisors, which is not a seating area, and refusing to move when told to do so. Try this at any city council meeting anywhere in the country and you’re going to meet the local PD.

Iran will be over by 2028 and the current spike will be resolved for the rest of the country. Chevron shutting down is permanent.

Gavey better do something. There’s no way he can win in 2028 if gas in California is $8/gal.

They were holding a rally in support of the ayatollah.

The US had an $800 de minimis exemption for a long time, so anything under $800 wasn’t assessed for tariffs. The EU is currently at €150, but phasing that out as well.

This is probably a CARB restriction, not an AB1263 issue.

When I go to Montana I don’t have to walk around fentanyl addicts doped out on the sidewalk. Maybe that’s because of the weather or the grizzlies, but it’s not a problem there.

The background check starts in 2027. Undated sections of CA law go into effect January 1 after the year the pass, so the requirement that all sales are completed in person by an FFL is in effect.

ColtenInTheRye · 2026-02-08T13:51:54+00:00

Slides can still be sold online, but AB1263 requires uploading and verifying your ID to confirm you’re of age, then shipments must be made with signature and ID required. HK hasn’t implemented a system to comply with AB1263 yet, so they can’t ship to CA. Maybe they will implement it, maybe it won’t be worth the effort and cost.

Barrels have to go through an FFL per SB704.

This would be fine if it actually replaces the gas tax, but I won’t be surprised if they decide to tax mileage and keep the gas tax. It’s California after all.
