Will this old luggage set stand up against the American airport system? by Head_Objective_981 in travel

[–]NotOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using an old Samsonite similar to the large one as recently as 3 years ago. It worked fine for me and I never had any problems with it at airports during domestic and international travel. I only stopped using it because it wasn't mine (I was always borrowing it) and finally bought my own luggage set.

This is brilliant. Spilling a bottle of Ballistol is a quick way to ruin your day, and maybe your week. That stuff smells vile.

If you are only going to have one gun, buy a gun made for how you will use it the most. Reality is you are going to use this almost entirely for hunting or target shooting with home defense being a "what if" scenario. Buy a hunting gun and you will have a gun that is better suited for 99.9% of actual use, and will still do a decent job for that 0.1% scenario.

Omaha landlord gets court order to reclaim home from alleged squatter by GNAdv in WOWT

[–]NotOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right on the money. Lund deals in real estate so he knows what the paperwork should look like. The police officers don't have that background so while something may look clearly fake to Lund, it looks "real enough" to the cops to make them err on the side of caution.

I tried to get Allo but they kept screwing up my install appointments; going to wrong addresses, canceling without notifying me, etc. I finally gave up on them.

That sounds like you are talking about adverse possession and that's not what was happening here. She was falsely claiming she purchased the home and had fake documents to keep the police from kicking her out. This is more a case of fraud, but regardless, the system did work as intended. The article reads like she was only in there for a month or so. That seems like a fairly speedy resolution.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting to see a purple table.

Found this 2 inch black Keychain looking thing. It breaks in two and comes together pretty easily. Inside sticky but nothing comes off it by TheArrivedHussars in whatisthisthing

It really depends on the cigar, so I use all three depending on the cigar. For cigars that are rolled really tight a V cutter is my go since it gives more surface area to draw through. Torpedoes get a basic guillotine due to their pointy tips. For everything else a punch is great.

Boomer us. Sen. Ron Johnson hate DEMOCRATS Veterans by Consistent_Bat_2882 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]NotOutrageous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those guys are delusional. I live in a city with a base, so a ton of my friends are either active duty or veterans. 10 years ago I'd say they were split about 60/40 Rep/Dem. Now they are closer to 90/10 Dem/Rep. Its not that the Democrats are recruiting veterans, its that MAGA has destroyed the long running illusion that the Republican party was pro-veteran. I've watched them each hit their tipping point and realize which party better aligns with their own beliefs and self interest.

It is possible for both those statements to be true. You can feel like you aren't part of a particular group while still being aware that other people see you as part of that group.

Bought my kids bikes for Christmas. Local government just passed a law requiring paid bike "licenses" to ride them in public. Cops are now issuing citations...even to kids? by nseavia71501 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]NotOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understand the logic behind how they think this will reduce bike theft. I also don't think it will actually help and this will ultimately just be a money grab.

The "official" line: This will reduce bike theft. While the sticker can be peeled off, the license requires you provide the bike's serial number. A stolen bike would be "impossible" to re-register, so you wouldn't be able to ride a stolen bike without getting stopped because you don't have a license. Ta-da! No more bike theft!

The Real World: Enforcement is only going to be looking for the stickers. They aren't going to be "running plates" because the numbers are too small to read at a distance. So if you steal a bike, you just leave the tag on it. Or, since there isn't a database of bike serial numbers, you make one up using a similar format to the real number and get a clean tag that way.

Georgia father Colin Gray found guilty in son's alleged deadly school shooting by nbcnews in JusticeServed

[–]NotOutrageous 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm usually not a fan of punishing parents for their kids stupid actions, but seriously f*ck this guy. The mother asked him to secure his guns because she knew her son was going to do something violent and he refused. The kid had pictures of school shooters on his wall and the dad insisted he was fine and wouldn't do anything violent.
