That’s a ridiculous theory.

https://www.tmz.com/2020/03/30/river-church-pastor-rodney-howard-browne-arrrest-warrant-coronavirus-social-distancing/ I think this fits in well in the cure vs the disease question. The smart thing absolutely would have been to cancel services. I also suspect that hubris and self aggrandizement were strong motives in holding the services. At the same time, prosecuting someone for holding religious services makes me very, very uncomfortable. That’s dangerous territory to be treading into.

Just because it’s funny, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

My wife has spent thousands of dollars trying to make some direct sales makeup thing happen. The only reason I don’t raise too much of a stink about it is because she leaves me alone about my gun purchases.

I am so glad you clarified that. I have to admit that my first thought when you said “networking sales“ was “Amway?“

We’ve been very fortunate on that front. I believe the membership of this place is to thank for that.

Guaranteed.

I’d highly recommend having an approved tax stamp first. That being said, DO NOT BUY THE LINKED PRODUCT! There are plenty of “Solvent trap” kits out there that do a good job of walking the line of being a “80%” suppressor. That kit is not it. It is a complete suppressor. Just the interior piece alone will get you PMITA prison time. It is a mono-core baffle stack and qualifies as a suppressor by itself. Also, if you notice, it doesn’t just come with a cap you have to drill out, it comes with a ring that will screw onto the outside end. If you do that, you have a complete suppressor. This kit is illegal as all hell and the only reason I’m not killing the link is that I want y’all to see what to avoid. It doesn’t matter if you have an approved Form 1 and stamp in hand. You can’t buy all the parts complete and then slap an engraving on it and say you “made” it. It doesn’t work that way.

If folks were testing positive for COVID-19 then impacting the earth at terminal velocity, you would have a point. When they test positive and then end up in the hospital with or die from severe respiratory distress, not so much.

Damn it. John Prine is in intensive care now with COVID-19. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VRdTABV0f/

It occurred to me today that with all the quarantining, isolation, etc. going on that folks are going to have a lot more time on their hands. As I remember an old saying having something to do with idle hands, I strongly suspect that dishonest shenanigans are going to be on the rise. While I don’t think we’ve seen too much of an uptick here, we’ve always been very lucky on that front to have a low instance of dishonesty here, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to be extra vigilant for folks trying to take advantage. Keep a skeptical eye, and if something seems off, walk away. Please be sure to flag any posts/ ads/ interactions that are suspicious and make the moderation team aware. Thanks all, and be safe out there.

I have one rifle with a tail switch setup, one with a pressure pad, and I can’t settle on which is better either.

Now for some sad news. Joe Diffie died after testing positive for Coronavirus https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/joe-diffie-country-singer-dead-obituary-974556/

On the list of bad ideas, this one is pretty high up there.

I just rolled through one of our terminals and they had an associate doing health checks on all inbound drivers asking questions and checking temps. All of our dispatch/road assist/computer based in house associates are telecommuting. We’ve got as few associates in the building as we can.

We are as a general rule. The truck stops have all closed their lounges and the restaurants are all takeout only now. They’ve prohibited the used of the refillable mugs. The roller grills and self serve foods have either been shut down completely or roped off and manned by an employee using the enhanced food service rules in place now. Everywhere I go (not just the truck stops, shippers and receivers as well) I see more wet surfaces from being freshly wiped down with disinfectant than I ever have before. The whole industry is taking this very seriously.

This feels very topical.

I can think of about a million different reasons why this is a bad idea. I’m pretty sure every regulator and insurance person will take the same view. Especially if you have neighbors who live in distances measured in anything less than “over in the next holler. I’m not trying to be rude, (I’m known for crazy and dumb ideas) but I am pretty sure you’re going to find regulatory and financial roadblocks at every turn in attempting to do this out of your home.

My understanding is that it’s tax free because it will essentially be an advance upon next year‘s tax returns. I could be wrong but since nothing is actually complete at this point, who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
