    California legal non-lethal rounds - 12 gauge (or 20?)

    School me. And best shotgun for home defense under $400. Likely used with pepper/salt, then maybe bird, then buck if they really won't stop being a dick. And, 20 or 12 gauge? Possible the missus might use this if I'm not there. Likely scenario is belligerent Cougar - that I'd rather not...

    PSA for car drivers

    In the car this morning, in the commute lane (it's an EV), right lanes are jammed. Doing *cough* mph, bike coming up behind. Moved to far left of lane, he passes, but instead of waving thanks, points to the yellow line that I had my left wheels on, and gestures like an explosion. I'm guessing...

    Road rage this morning, report it?

    Hey all, query if/how to report this. Sadly, I did NOT get the video evidence I was hoping for, so it's just my word. Happened this morning, I was in my car, following a green H3 down Bear Creek. He was going 15-20mph, so I was following 30-60 ft behind. At one point he nearly stopped in the...

    Look ma, I can fly!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26848603 Used to live at the foot of this road in Macclesfield, UK. Actually not one of my faves, due to overpopulation with tourists and cops - very analagous to Hwy 9 here. On-board footage is seat-munchingly awesome.

    Hi all - general query, mostly about how to report someone I know is regularly driving drunk, but is almost always nearly home whenever I see them driving drunk. There is another parent (mother) at my kids school, who habitually drives drunk, but because I live in the hills, I know full-well...

    Good Scooby wrench in the South bay

    Hey all. Have a 2004 Forester, much neglected, has 150K on the clock and we're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past due for the timing belt. Already taking the car to Steve Smith (and thanks BARF for helping us find him), however, he made it clear he thinks it's a bad idea to refresh the heads at the...

    Holy crap, I trained this guy!

    So, I'm sitting in bed, enjoying the new Blu-Ray player and my first purchase, Ip Man 2. And the English boxer guy looks VERY familiar. But I can't for the life of me think of why. And it gets stronger and stronger - like, I KNOW this guy. I look up his filmography - haven't seen ANY of his...

    NAS enclosures that use NTFS

    Hi all, just bought a Netgear Stora, and I'm about half-way to convincing myself to taking it back and getting ready to argue that I shouldn't have to pay the 15% restockign fee, because it's a piece of shit that doesn't do what it says on the box. So, am looking for other NAS enclosures that...

    Party/Fundraiser at Chez JB4K Tomorrow to fight BSL!

    **Actually composed this earlier in the week, but status of the case was unknown thanks to a catalog of errors by the SC Clerk of the Court - obviously we didn't want to have the fundraiser if the case was on hold, hence the delay in putting this up, but we're all good now.** TOMORROW...
