Prepping For The Zombie Apocalypse: How to Build the Ultimate Survival Shotgun
Okay a good reliable shotgun is always nice to have around - for apocalypses or any other social occasions. But can a shotgun also become an entire survival kit? Well Creek Stewart set out to find out.
For this project, I decided to build a survival kit using a shotgun platform–creating the Ultimate Survival Shotgun. My challenge was that everything had to be included in or on the gun itself–no extra pack items or containers. Below is what I did as well as the survival logic behind each decision.
And this is what he came up with:
In addition to ammo, flares, flashlight/compass, knife/bayonet, he also managed to stuff a complete survival kit into the pistol grip and stock. This includes a multi-tool, saw, fire-making kit, and the following which all pretty much guarantees a good time in Vegas:
4”x6” Aluminum Baking Pan, Trash Bag, Fishing Kit, 2 Non-Lubricated Condoms, Water Purification Tablets, Emergency Survival Blanket, First Aid Supplies, Carmex Lip Balm, Whistle, Small Bic Lighter, Paracord, and Snare Wire.
And here it is in action.
As Creek says - if the zombies eat your brains while you're carrying this, it's your own damn fault. Has Obama Lost the Jews?
Short answer: no.
Jews are not going to vote against Obama, at least not on the scale indicated in a recent poll.Dennis Prager has long made the point that while most American Jews are ethnically Jewish their real religion is liberalism. So realistically the best the GOP can hope for is for Jews to sour on Obama enough that they don't bother turning out to vote in the usual numbers....I reach my conclusion not based on the quality of the polling, but the reality of what I hear and see day in and day out. Purely anecdotal observations: Obama will lose some Jewish support, on the magnitude of 10% (give or take) less than in 2008, but Jews still will vote significantly in favor of Obama.
Want to know why? This is why:
“In my house growing up, The Times substituted for religion. If The Times said it, it was the absolute truth.”
ItÂ’s true, like it or not. IÂ’ve lived it my whole life, and there is no getting through to most of these people for whom liberalism is a religion.
Get A Job You Lazy teens!
Only 25% of all American teens have summer jobs this year - the lowest rate since WWII.
How come? Well letting teens work at part-time jobs (or any jobs) seems to have fallen out of favor. And then you have the current economy.
So what is going on? There are two main answers. First, more teenagers are staying in school or choosing to do prep programs over the summer, at their own behest or by order of their helicopter parents. Second, young workers vying for menial jobs have faced increased competition from older workers and immigrants.Indeed, a lot more teenagers are enrolling in summer school, and it goes a long way to explaining their dwindling participation in the workforce. In the summer of 1985, about 17 percent of teenagers attended some kind of summer school. Now, more than half do. On top of that, thousands more kids are taking other test-prep, advanced, and remedial classes.
Is 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Too Politically Incorrect for NYC?
Apparently so since activists have dubbed it 'offensive' and don't want it to be shown:
A petition is circulating to stop an outdoor screening of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” next month at a Brooklyn Park. The beloved romantic dramedy starring Audrey Hepburn, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in October, has long been considered problematic by many because of the bucktoothed, splenetic and bumbling Japanese character played by Mickey Rooney — an ethnic stereotype that was outdated even in 1961, and seems much more offensive than funny today.A planned outdoor screening in Sacramento in 2008 was replaced by “Ratatouille” after a public outcry.

Nazi Sex Dolls!
Rockets, jets, nightvision scopes and ejection seats - the Nazis were advanced in everything and that includes sex dolls:
According to Mussolini’s Barber, a new book by Graeme Donald documenting bizarre episodes from military history, the Nazi sex doll project was launched in response to concerns that German soldiers might contract venereal diseases from prostitutes and loose women while occupying foreign countries and, uh, doing the Nazi nasty. In 1940 Heinrich Himmler, boss of the elite-and-terrifying S.S., got the go-ahead from Hitler for the “Borghild Project” to create a not-quite-life-size “gynoid” doll to provide German soldiers with inanimate company on those long occupation nights.For extra creepiness, the blond-haired, blue-eyed dollar doll was otherwise left featureless in the facial area, supposedly to allow soldiers to picture their own wives, girlfriends, or favorite celebrities.
Those Dirty Rings!
Well thank God we've managed to overcome the dirty collar crisis that plagued the US in the 70s.
Shape of a Woman's Lips May Mean More Orgasms
Now, in a paper published last week by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, and called “Vaginal Orgasm Is More Prevalent Among Women with a Prominent Tubercle of the Upper Lip,” Brody has come out with another marker for female orgasm; the little spot just at the midline of the upper lip. Called the tubercle, it poofs out a little more in some people than in others. (Brody stresses he’s not referring to puffy Angelina Jolie lips, just to that one tiny spot.)Ok new ONT policy - all moronettes must post lip shots.According to the results of an online survey featuring 258 mainly Scottish women with a mean age of 27 years, having a prominent tubercle means a woman has a greater chance of ever having had a vaginal orgasm.

She supports gun control laws, and in 2000, she participated in Marie Claire’s “End Gun Violence Now” campaign. She is a member of the board of Room to Grow, a charitable organization providing aid to families and children born into poverty. She serves on the board of the Tibet House In 2007, she hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway with actor Kevin Spacey.

However, if the R's hold firm to demanding massive and actual cuts with no tax increases, they can at least make the case next year that they presented an alternative and the demos only want to spend much more and tax much more. Perhaps the voters reelect Obama and sweep the demos back into both chambers. Well, then at least we know that the citizenry wants to ride the fast track to third world status and we can get on with it. The R's can ride into history knowing they did the right thing.
At some point, you have to, IMO, go all in. Push the chips towards the middle, and prepare to deal with the results.

Assume you are 56 years old, were out of skilled work for 14 months, and for a similar period paid by contract work of unspecified future duration for a US Govt Federal Agency.
Recently, you've been pointedly invited to apply for a narrowly advertised Federal position, that explicitly spells out your qualifications - for a similar but different Agency, in another State.
If you get a phone call next week with an offer of comparable pay, but unpaid relocation, for a full-time, all Federal benefits, full-time position.. would you take it?
Not that any responses by you Morons will be taken seriously.

I don't like smoking as a habit (and I've never tried it myself), don't like the smell of it or really anything related to it. I wouldn't date a smoker.
That said, I abhor the fact that it's been all but banned. Or in some cases, it really has been banned. It is one of the worst violations of the nanny state as far as I'm concerned. I may dislike the vice of smoking, but I damn well support people's right to do it.
Posted by: Rum, Goddess of Doom & Sith Lord at July 13, 2011 06:55 PM (YxBuk)
That's total bullshit, pop. I'm a smoker. All you gots to do is walk outside, take a few steps away from the door and smoke yourself to death. There is no earthly reason other people should have to stink because of you. There is probably no other nanny-state legislation I approve of, but not allowing people to smoke wherever other people are is A-OK with me.

If a private business owner wants to ban smoking on his property, I have zero problem with that. When the government *forces* all business owners to ban smoking indoors, that's when I have a problem.

It's been several years since they put the restaurant smoking ban on the ballot here in Florida. I have allergies and asthma and still voted against it. I couldn't believe the righteous indignation from folks who call themselves conservatives yet voted for it anyway: "But I'd like to eat there and the smoke is too bad", as if it's was their God-given right to eat at any particular establishment. Where I live there were already websites dedicated to listing the non-smoking establishments, and there were plenty, but the idea that those folks couldn't have it their way, any place they damned well felt like it, drove them nuts. The bill passed.
BTW, that was the same year that saw constitutional amendments requiring smaller class sizes, prohibited the separation of mama pigs from their piglets, and...get this... high-speed rail. Yes. We, in Florida, have a constitutional right to high-speed rail.

This is the partyÂ’s best bet: rein in spending as best it can in a debt ceiling deal as well as the upcoming budget, then take the battle on deficits to the November 2012 election, offering the public this position: Our entitlement system is no longer sustainable with the taxes we raise to support it; either taxes must be raised substantially or the system must be reformed; we Republicans oppose tax hikes and believe that reform of the system can be achieved without reducing benefits.
Obama will offer his alternative, and the people can decide.
If the people vote Republican in 2012, then the GOP can get its plan through. If they vote Democratic, well thatÂ’s that. And if they split their vote, then congressional Republicans can worry about finding common ground with Obama in 2013.

The left likes to claim National Socialism and International Socialism are nothing alike, because, DUH! one is like Nationalist, and the other ones is like, uh, not.
And then to the extent that they will recognize that the modern left is also socialist, that too is completely different then the other two.
But in reality all they are is the exact socialist flavor of their native culture.
International Socialism is rigidly ideological because the left that gave birth to it was rigidly ideological - Stalin, Lenin, etc. After spending a generation at war Lenin had no problem with killing millions more to achieve the vision.
National Socialism is pragmatic and centered on the popular will, because the left that gave birth to it was awash in nominal German hyper-efficiency and the superiority of the collective Kulture reborn as a racial trait.
Modern Western socialism is centered on the supremacy of the narrative over the real preciously because it is born out of a culture of failure. WesSoc has been a continual drain on prosperity and rights, so they simply redefine reality. Constantly. History becomes a topic of scorn and derision because it must NOT be examined for the illusion to continue.
So you can have a democracy where all the important decisions are kept out of the hands of the people and their elected representatives because all you have to do is mouth democratic platitudes. You can have no rights save who to have sex with, but be free unlike your benighted ancestors who had to make all those difficult decision. You can even be materially better off, because your friends in the government can regularly tout how much they have upped your chocolate rations...

I spotted mine at Target (several years ago) and it was about $200. I couldn't afford to spend that on a grill so I kept looking for it to go on sale and, when it did, I called all the Targets in town to find a store that still had one. A store about 15 miles away had one remaining unit and put a tag on it for me. When I showed up there was Target employee standing next to it telling me it had been sold.
Sold? Then why is it still sitting here with a price tag on it.
Turns out an employee wanted it and she and several of her co-workers conspired to, quite literally, run me out of the store.
Before all was said and done I was so pissed I was standing at the front of the store on my cell phone speaking with a director of security at the HQ in Minneapolis. It wasn't the grill that was the issue by then, it was the treatment by the employees.
I would kill to see that video. It must have been hilarious to watch.
I got the grill for $100 so, in the end, they could bit my ass.

The Breakfast at Tiffany's Japanese character is devoid of social insight. All it did was transcribe the WWII caricature of a deranged Japanese male from a poster to the silver screen. That's it.
In no way is Mickey Rooney's character as important, or meaningful, or constructive as Jim.

It depends on you. If the convenience of gas will make you grill more often, go that way. If the magic flavor of charcoal has you in its grip and won't let go, convenience be damned, go with charcoal. I started out with gas for the convenience, switched to charcoal for flavor, and have never looked back. Once you get used to the charcoal drill, and have a good way to ignite (I use either those soaked-sawdust-waxy-brick thingys or an electric igniter), it doesn't seem like much of a hurdle, the way it did when I was trying to use the stupid newspaper chimney. And chips or no, I could never get anything like that flavor over gas.

Posted by: CoolCzech at July 13, 2011 11:37 PM (kUaEF)
1) curse this commenting apparatus, using italics is full of booby traps
2) Mickey Rooney's character, who apparently is named Mr. Yunioshi, is not representative of any living person then or now. Sure, he represents the idea American propagandists had of Japanese people in the 1940s, but in the movie he is presented as being in existence. This is simply not true.
3) Re: the WWII posters themselves, I still maintain they are inaccurate. The Japanese cultural evil was storied, ingrained, and one of the most diabolical strains of wickedness we have ever seen. But the posters did not capture what we later learned about them and how their culture could have done this.
4) After reading the article, I say full speed ahead to whoever is sponsoring the showing. But that doesn't mean yellowface is A-OK

And I'm MARRIED to an Asian. The only "racist" incident she ever encountered was when - as an IRS agent - she was hammering a CPA so hard he took the easy way out by claiming he could not work with Asian women - knowing the IRS would reassign her to get her out a "hostile work environment." And the motivation in that case was clearly other than only racist...

Charcoal all the way from my GrandDad's knee. Then 7 years ago bought a combo gas/charcoal grill. On the third tank exchange, mentioned that I seemed to be getting less and less grill time out of each tank, tank guy said the distributor was now only filling the tanks half-way due to "safety concerns." Same price, though.

I didn't think about that much before, I have to admit. Americans of German heritage need not worry, since a good deal of them don't even know they are German. German nationals, on the other hand, tend to be a little more touchy about media that makes reference to Nazis. Quite a while ago, my family hosted a German exchange student, and we avoided movies like Dr. Strangelove while she was there for precisely that reason.
You're only looking at ONE Asian character portrayed in the movies during the pre-PC past. There were also movies showing Asians as intelligent. (One can also ask: How did Asian movies portray - and continue to portray - whites??)
This path leads to a tu quoque fallacy. Nevertheless, to my limited knowledge, most Asian movie has a benign view of whites as a race. However, there are extreme racial problems within Japanese movies and animation (that anime stuff). Japan as a whole is insufferably racist, and they don't give a damn if we think they are or not. I would imagine your question would become much more relevant outside of America.
Lots of movies portray white characters as bumbling idiots, too. Should Asians be exempt from that, merely because they are Asian?

from the 1960s! Jesus fucking Christ, are you insane? Legitimizes casual

I'm sorry, but where in the United States is there so much egregious racism against Asians? Blatantly so? Why isn't it in the papers?
You know where that racism is? In the school system. The university system. Good luck getting into a U of CA school if you're Asian because there are too damn many.
So can you prove someone slighted you because you're Asian? Are you even Asian? If so, what kind? Chinese? Japanese? Korean? Hmong? Did they profile you for being a thief? Or where you *gasp* accused of being too smart? Did they make fun of your driving? Do they make fun of you because you can do math?

Does it have to be either/or? There's no reason you can't just go with both.
I got me a $50 dollar kettle grill from Lowes that works perfectly fine. Weber is a great brand and all but they're very expensive. Mine is a...well...I have no idea. But it cost half the price and I can light that sucker up all the same. The quality of the food mostly depends on the skills of the man grilling it.
I don't own a gas grill, though the ones I typically see around aren't too expensive.

Not to be too serious, but it is
relevant. Any group that loves themselves, and is not beholden to
others for everything, is deemed evil, these days. It is a big, big
problem.

I suppose so. I don't really think the Japanese care what we think, though. They seem to be taking care of themselves quite nicely. Hell, people have been down on them for failing to apologize for Bataan and Nanking and comfort women for decades, and all the activists got for their troubles were public screw yous in at least one case and lip service in the others.
Good old Japan.

Oh jeez, are you one of those fanboys that complain about the casting of white people for a live action adaptation of an anime show?
You know that stupid cartoon wasn't even Japanese, right? It was American. "Wapanese" as I've heard the style called. It was some fake anime animation style, and really badly done at that, that the kiddies all love. But...not Japanese. Or Asian. Just really shitty American animation.

I'm going with what I said yesterday. Fuck it. Default. Buy canned food, guns, and ammo. It's going to happen at some point.
My opinion, for what it's worth: It's not quite what one would expect. He provides details of where they are in the talks, his communication with the Speaker, his concern about our credit rating, and the mood of the House R Conference. I still don't trust him completely because he is such a political chameleon but it sounds like he's intent on seeing this through, for whatever motive he has.
Won't say much more here other than we shall see.

The characters in the show were all non-white, which the movie acknowledges by using Eskimos for the people of the white heroine's village, but somehow they didn't quite get around to making the characters that actually mattered the color they should have been.
The show was more explicit about nationalities than you might expect. Earth was Chinese, Water was Eskimo, Fire was Japanese, and Air was Tibetan. Anybody who knows a little bit about those cultures would easily see that.
