Our tax dollars at work

I fucking hate how carelessly our hard-earned money is spent by those who don't have to account for it.

Normally it's wasted on stupid-assed social programs, dumped into mega rich colleges and even unnecessary use it or lose it mindset.

After oak leaf shedding season here in Florida, many of my idiotic neighbors take their leaves and blow them into the storm drains.
You might say, "well, that's just fucking dumb." Of course you'd be correct. Not only is it dumb, but it's lazy and illegal.
Dumping those leaves into the storm drains allows them to stack up and block the pipes. For those unaware, oak leaves don't float down the lazy, pretty river like a child's paper boat. They sink to the bottom and begin layering up. Mix those leaves with dirt and oils from the road and pretty soon you have a dam built up. Hitting them with pressure only serves to strengthen their resolve to stay put.


Enter: this guy.

The Suckerater 2000. A big, diesel powered vacuum with a super long flexible hose.
With the 2025 storm season (and general rainy season here) rapidly approaching, Hillsborough County is taking the let's fix it before it's broke approach.
Fortunately, they do this every year at this time.
He was out here yesterday sucking out the leaves.
Boss man ran the camera down the pipe this morning and had him come back to complete the job.

Would it have been better and cheaper to do it right the first time?
Of course.
However, it is being corrected.


This is the kind of stuff I want my tax dollars paying for.

BREAKING: ATTENTION ALBERTA, CANADA GUN OWNERS: Do NOT comply with disarmament.

Just receiving unsettling updates here and there that Home Office officials in Alberta are either planning or already engaged in confiscating firearms from gun owners under "emergency clauses" but everybody knows that an important voting referendum is coming up regarding Alberta's secession and possible joining with the United States.

Do NOT comply, no matter what they say. If you do not have anything registered, that means you don't got 'em. Form community mutual defense pacts with neighbors and likeminded towns. Also spread the word to others in more rural areas or those who may not be in the constant Internet flow of news. They may try to trick people into giving up their guns by saying that the confiscation is "temporary and they will be returned when the state of emergency is lifted". That is BULLSHIT. Do not give them up.

In her own words - 68 year old lady assaulted and kidnapped by U.S. Marshals

Login to view embedded media
Cause apparently they can’t match names and faces either and went to an almost 25 year old address for a parole violation of someone else.

This story has been posted here before but this has her partial interview .

Amazingly they didn’t kill the dog .

You awake?

How long will it take to pay off the national debt?

Let’s just ignore the 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Let’s assume a wand is waved and it goes away.

Average interest rate on the debt-5%

Now by some astonishing act and miracle let’s assume we erase the trillions a year deficit spending. AND by that same miracle we run a trillion dollar surplus.

So how long?


Understand where we are?

Plan accordingly.

Something apparently unexplainable happening with my custom hunting rifle

Hi everyone, i am living a very weird situation with the new rifle i recently put togheter. 308 barile in barre, defiance action and manners stock with mini chassis. It was put togheter by a very good smith here in Italy. The rifle shoots very well, it is by far the best rifle I have had in this regard, it prints consistently .3 MOA 5 shot groups at 100 m (110 yards) with three different factory ammo. I didn’t believe it was possibile until i got this jewel. That said, i am struggling. I used to use 250 meters max rifles. They are easy to use: mpbr, point > press the trigger > dead deer. With this rifle i installed a scope capable of longer shots (NX8 4-32x50) and i use the high magjification as a spotting scope for selective hunting. Shots are anyway inside 500 yards (on a small 50 lb roe deer this is already a pretty long distance). That said, what gives me issues is the zero: I went to the shooting range 2 times lately, on the first time groups were forming 1.5 inches above the bullseye at 100 m, exactly as i want. Second trip (no changes in anything but the day) bullets were impacting 2 inches above the bullseye. I thought it was a matter of bipod loading and a little bit more relaxed handling of the rifle during the shot or stuff like this. That said, i adjusted the zero stop 1 click (0.1 MIL, so 1 cm at 100 m) in order to get lower shots (at this point between 1.25 inches and 1.75 inches depending on the hold of the rifle and positional shooting while hunting). I went hunting, killed a nice buck (75 meters from me) and then i took a couple shots to confirm all my zeroing in field conditions. I was expecting impacts max 1.25 inches above the bullseye since i was resting the bipod on a softer surface in comparison to the rubber mat used at the range. Two shots in one hole, as usual for this rifle, but more than 3 inches above the bullseye!

Why is that?
The scope is mounted properly and i rececked everything today, inculding another box test (not firing, only paper), torque values, etc. Everything is perfect. I didn’t accidentally moved the elevation turret.

Something came up to my mind: I used to keep ammo in a cooler room before but we are talking about a few degrees difference and i also zeroed the gun at 250 feet elevation and today i shot at 800 feet more or less. The temperature was also a bit warmer today and i was slightly on a slope
When shooting (a very mild slope so i was shooting from up to down. To me a difference of more than 2 inches at 110 yards is definitely too much. (2 inches talking into account that regulation i did moving 0.1
MIL down the shots before going hunting.


Could just my position behind the rifle on that terrain (very different from the Shooting range Conditions) Impact the POI This Much just because i am now using a bipod? The fact that the groups are still very tiny confuses me..

I should add that during the test in field conditions (after the hunt) the target was in the shade of some threes and i had the sunlight getting almost on my face directly, when i zeroed it was the opposite (i was in a pretty dark room at the range and the target was in full sunlight)
