I haven't tried it yet, but I read some of the hype surrounding "Secret Aardvark". It's actually decently cheapish when you realize it's an 8 oz bottle: Secret Aardvark Habanero Sauce

If you don't do it, I'll block you on TGO.

Just tried the other two. Amazing as well. None of them are "hot" by my standards, but the flavor it adds to a dish is amazing. I don't base my hot sauce on food; I base my food on hot sauce.

Some like it hot. Some are crazy. I eat most any hot sauce, currently in my fridge are various habanero, ghost pepper, and scorpion pepper sauces. I'm apparently crazy. However, a week ago, I discovered a sauce at Aldi. It isn't all that hot to me (my taste may be biased towards the hotter sauces), but it has an amazing flavor. I've tried the "Chipotle" so far. It isn't that hot but has an amazing smoky flavor. I've nearly been drinking the stuff. It quickly became one of my favorite sauces of all time. So today, I went back to Aldi to purchase all the flavors. Only $1.89 each. I asked the cashier at checkout if that was something they normally stocked, she said that she didn't think so and thought it was for the Super Bowl time period. I may go back and buy all of them.

Just saw this: http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/39863238/chattanooga-reacts-to-loss-of-sandy-the-flower-man I remember meeting this guy once. My Wife and I were out for dinner and he came walking around the restaurant. I told him I'd buy a flower or two for my Wife so he handed them to her. Upon pulling out my wallet I was mortified to see no cash. I sincerely apologized and explained to him that I thought I had some cash. He told me it was ok and told her to keep them and then wished us both well before continuing on for the night. I didn't know his backstory but that article really struck home.

I agree that for a large majority of homeless people that live the way they do, they are homeless because of their choosing. For some, it's essentially their "safe space". I must have "sucker" written in pretty legible ink on my forehead; I've thrown a fiver their way more times than I can count. How many times have I bought beer or cigarettes (or worse, potentially) for someone like that? Probably at least 50% of those times, I hope not more than 75%. Here are my general rules. If someone says they need food, I try to always make time to buy them food. A quick five minutes to buy someone a warm burger could make someone's day. However, sometimes when suggesting that you buy them food, they'll reject. They just want cash, and I think we all know why. I'll insist that all I can do is swipe my card and buy them food, I cannot give them cash. Sometimes they'll concede, other times not. I used to be pretty open to buying gift cards and handing out. But one time this guy in Chattanooga told me about how he needed money for food, "His disability check was just a week away". I went into Chili's with him and purchased him a $10.00 gift card there and told him to enjoy his meal. I walked outside and then as I'm driving away (downtown), he passes me in front of me! No doubt he was going to probably sell the $10.00 gift card for $5.00. With the right sob story, he could probably sell it for the full $10.00 or even more. I haven't got around to it, but I've been thinking that in cold months it'd be neat to assemble a "cold weather kit" such as a decent jacket, socks, etc. Likewise, in hot weather, a water bottle, hat, etc could help someone be more comfortable. I care for people in these situations. But I don't know how many of them could be helped. Offer $500 to "help someone get on their feet" and it'd likely be wasted away quicker than I'd find something to spend that money on. Offer most of these people a steady job and they wouldn't/couldn't keep it a week. I do wish it were easier to separate these people into two groups. For the ones that genuinely want to get back on their feet and improve their lives, I'd gladly dig deep into my pockets to help them. But for the people that either have more serious issues (mentally or socially) and are "lifelong homeless", I'm not sure how to "help them" other than just be kind to them and offer them food if they are hungry. I do wish I were in a position to offer a career to people in need, along the lines of The Pursuit of Happiness. Sadly, in today's world knowingly doing such a thing would generally be considered too risky in terms of liability to even be allowed to do such a thing. For the ones that honestly want jobs, I wish there were systems in place to make it easier. As stated before, not having a mailing address will typically disqualify you from most any job. I wonder if there could be some sort of "homeless post office" setup by charity where qualified individuals could get a "PO Box" at a location similar to a homeless shelter but just for mail. It'd have to be charity funded and theoretically the boxes could be established for something like three months or so. Essentially, give people a mailing address for a job application. It may or may not be feasible, and plus your hiring managers would recognize the address after it was founded.

I watched all of this guy's videos a while back. Amazing.

The flip side of this is that there is also the biggest potential for "us" from this newer generation to teach ourselves skills and do things ourselves. Is everyone/all of us like this? No. Are some of us extremely resourceful and capable of doing a lot of stuff ourselves? I think so. Utilized in a positive manner, with Google, YouTube, and all of the other DIY sites, there are few things that you cannot teach yourself to do if you set your mind to it.

Imagine the boom to our economy if a small business's biggest concern was whether it was pofitable --- not whether it met all of the tax and legal burdens. I'm not advocating for zero laws and regulations regarding business...I'm advocating for almost zero laws and regulations regarding business.

Well..I typed carbine...but that is exactly what I mean.

Glock Carbine. Something inspired by the Sub 2000 but polished a bit better. A feller can dream can't he

Yeah...8.8.

If true, that would mostly explain...everything.

For those that don't know, you can pause a YouTube video and then his the < and > keys on your keyboard to step forward or backward frame by frame. Try it. I'm curious what the black line of stuff on the floor is seen from the beginning of the video. It seems a split second before everything goes up in flames, that line caught fire, etc.

That is both incredible and terrifying at the same time. Does that seem abnormally fast for how quickly everything caught fire? It seems one second there is nothing, the next second literally everything is up in flames. Was there some sort of accelerant that caught fire, etc? What is typically in these rounds? Magnesium?

No, it is relevant in my opinion. The ATF declared illegal the use of a shoestring to increase the rate of fire. https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2010/01/25/shoestring-machine-gun/ In a roundabout way, they did the same thing with bumpstocks. I am personally against both of these measures. The term ‘‘machinegun’’ means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts de- signed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combina- tion of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person. https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2011-title26/pdf/USCODE-2011-title26-subtitleE-chap53.pdf In my observation and interpretation, a firearm with a bumpstockj attached does not fire more than one shot per function of the trigger. What you have is a trigger functioning very quickly. Sorry, but in my opinion it is clear. Letter vs spirit. They should be legal based on letter of the law. Don't like that? Change the law!

Does a bump-fire stock alter the firing mechanism to fire more than one shot per pull of the trigger? Because if it does, it's a machine-gun. If it doesn't...well:) I agree that it violates the spirit of the law. But if something doesn't violate the letter of the law, then in my opinion it is legal. But...then again...shoelaces are machine-guns too so who knows anymore.

And, in my opinion, I think more people than we care to admit would jump on board stricter private gun sales. Heck, the media has already done a really, really good job convincing a lot of people that private gun sales are already illegal intrastate. I've met so many friends and coworkers that are baffled by the fact I've bought and sold guns without going to a gun dealer.

No, you'd be anti-gun if you wanted/supported banning bump stocks. Just like I'm not anti-gun because I don't want to ban revolvers, although I own none.

Vetoed by Trump? Really? Lets see...Republican House? Check. Republican Senate? Check. Nobody "had" to do anything, but Trump volunteered the banning of bump stocks. Why? If it were to get passed the House and Senate, I think Trump would sign it in a heartbeat if he thought he'd gain a friend over it.

But she is in a safe space.

When I sold a Glock 19 Gen 4 w/ TFX Sights a few months ago, I had a hard time getting $450. Maybe I sold it for $425, I don’t remember. The market is down.

It was obviously the instructor’s fault to be in the situation in the first place, but I feel as if his actions during the flight did indeed save the man’s life. The mere fact the guy’s weight kept pulling the glider left was worrisome enough. Usually the harness seems to keep the weight centered on the thing.

I thought about posting this yesterday. Epic video.
