DC will arrest you for mere possession of a spent shell.

Not saying anybody should or should not do anything.

Just be aware of the environment in which you are operating.

MapFactor Navigator is an Android app that allows you to download your maps for offline use.

Just used it to navigate to the beach and back. You can even optimize it for walking, as it has a pedestrian mode.

Catalytics don't make CO. But, they can deplete oxygen.

Any non-electric heater should have a good oxygen source by opening a window.

Even better if you have a small battery operated fan to circulate air.

But, you have a diesel and are not responsible for maintenance. I'd just bring an inverter for power and use the truck's heat.

Republicans do their best fundraising when they're the opposition party.

That's also when they're most active. Look at all the pro gun and anti Obamacare legislation they can pass when they know that it will get vetoed.

Worse than worthless. They're parasites, living off your fear.

I argued at length with an acquaintance on Facebook regarding gun control. Since there is no logical argument for gun control, I cut her off at every turn and provided hard statistics from neutral sources where she provided none.

At the end, she said, "I just feel we need stricter gun laws."

I found out from a third party that she disdainfully referred to me as "The Debate King," thereafter.

Um.

I've seen a 100 lb propane explosion, live and in person.

How and why is none of your business, lol.

The resulting fireball/cloud was nowhere near that big. Maybe 80-90 feet high. And, it doesn't make a thump...it makes a "whoosh", because it doesn't explode by itself...the tank has to be punctured, then the gas rushes out quickly to make a fireball.

Most RV's carry 20-40lbs of propane, max, way too little to make a fireball of that size.

That was not a propane explosion. Unless the RV was carrying multiple tanks, because, from the size of it (fireball above the tops of the buildings) I would say that's at least 500 lbs of propane.

The conservative version of that twitter post would read:

"How do people wake up, NOT EAT, work 80 hours a week, NOT EAT, 16 hour shift everyday, NOT EAT and think 'yes, this is the way of life' without questioning how absurd communism is."

Pretty fucking sad when this bunch has more integrity than the majority of Republicans.

Something else, if it hasn't been brought up in this thread...

If you KNOW you are talking to a cop.

DON'T VOLUNTEER INFORMATION.

NEVER, EVER, CONSENT TO A SEARCH.

LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Be polite, but be firm. "I don't answer questions. No, I don't consent to any search. May I be on my way now?"

Over, and over, and over, and nothing else!

DO NOT HAVE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND IN A VEHICLE WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

YOU CAN DIE FROM HYPOXIA AND CARBON MONOXIDE.

YOU WILL GO TO SLEEP AND YOU WON'T WAKE UP.

Meaning, you probably need 6-8 square inches of ventilation for any type of gas, propane, or alcohol fueled heater

If you have the option, a catalytic propane is a far better choice, but they're much harder to find these days. No open flame, runs longer on a tank of propane, and they don't produce carbon monoxide. You still have to vent though, because they WILL use up the oxygen in a small space.

Be VERY careful, pedes!

No tragedies, please!

You can still download apps.

Install F-Droid (open source Android apps...all certified safe).

From the F-Droid store, install Aurora. Be sure to choose "Log In Anonymously" and don't use your normal Google account if you have one. It will be locked.

You now have access to the Play Store without having Play Services running.

I don't even have a Google account set up on my phone. I'm sure they can probably track me some way anyway, but I figure I don't need to make it easy for them.

Don't carry a ton of cash.

Buy a Visa/Mastercard backed gift card and load it with as much money as you think you will need.

Go online and register it.

If it gets stolen, go online and cancel it. You can transfer the remaining balance (if any) to a new card.

Download MapFactor Navigator and choose the Open Street Map option.

Maps work offline. Run your phone in airplane mode and the maps still work.

Better yet, load it on an old phone or remove your SIM card for stealth GPS mode.

Wife tested positive.

Cleaned out our storage room, baked goodies all week, bought a car.

Ended up coming back negative on the second test.

Only danger was to beltline and wallet. The storage room is nice, though.
