The Bell products take less maintenance, are lower cost, and require fewer personnel to support.

The Yankee has surprising capability when compared to the 60. There is also considerable sharing of parts between the Yankee and the Zulu.

If its visible from public areas, its legal. Black letter and it should be. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy

This includes children or adults at a playground, park, beach or other areas open or visible to the public.

Its not a tech issue.

Actually there was a way smoking helped with maintenance. If there was a pinhole leak, the smoke would leave a small trail on the exterior, making them easier to spot.

That said, I am glad to see it going away.

I don’t trust judges to follow those laws, especially when it is reported to the court that there is nothing else they can get to.

Our recent incident is continuing to evolve and the perps lawyer has finally spoken to ours and was incensed to find out that there not only is there nothing he can touch, there is no insurance to go after.

We do that. It comes into a dedicated account and is then moved offshore.

This is why we all need to be judgment proof, using the tools in the law to prevent just this kind of thing. LLC etc. are not sufficient, your personal assets also need to be secured and hidden.

I have had 3 incidents since I have retired that have brought that home to me. The latest was when we took down a pair of bounty hunters who forced their way into our home. One of them was seriously hurt and has huge medical bills. Our lawyer told us that inquiries were being made about the property and other assets, none of which are in our name. We can’t hide our Social Security, but we move the money offshore as soon as we can. We do our best to insure there is little nothing to attach.

Dry nitrogen simple means the tires change more uniformly. The gas will still expand/contract with temperature. (basic physics)

Not true in all cases

WEIGHT WATCHERS is the only plan that KEEPS THE WEIGHT OFF. All other plans will take the weight off but NONE keep the weight off...built-in failure.

More nonsense (and spam)

I did seriously consider it at one point in my life and almost made that choice. I have friends that have and later moved back to the US. I have other friends who are still there. For me its the road not chosen, and I am not changing at this point in my life.

I sill love Israel, it is the crowning jewel of the Middle East. Saving my money for a visit in a few years.

I have taken multiple polygraphs over the years. It is always voluntary. Furthermore, the box can easily be beaten. It is about as reliable as a Ouija board.

Recently I was asked to take one, presumptively voluntarily. The PD were not amused by the Ouija Board analogy and leaned hard. They threatened a court order, an obstruction charge, and even the loss of my library card. I simply walked out.

Its not particularly good tech and cops who rely on it are lazy and unprofessional.

PINAC rocks. I have had enough bad encounters with rent-a-cops and overbearing LEOs over the years that the videos are hilarious. HonorYourOath does it the best. You should see his clip about the talking building.

This is going to run head long into the teachers union. If this persists, the WH may not have teacher union support in 2016

It depends who are being discussed here. Civil service employees have due process rights. SES members are a little easier to remove. GS is damn near impossible without overt criminal acts. McCain is talking out his bung hole on some of this. Under FERS it is almost impossible to take away retirement benefits.

As to escalation, if Britain levels Buenos Aires, it will face a trade embargo from Latin America. And much of South America would jump in on Argentina's side, including Brazil. Would the EU even stand behind the UK during the ensuing economic hostilities? My view is that the Brits need to station more assets on the Falklands. Because if the Argentines grab it, they won't have the political capital necessary to marshal the immense resources necessary to take it back.

Going to disagree with your analysis here. Argentina would have to land a sizeable force undetected and the destroyer would have to be in port. It would have to take out the SAMs as well. While the US might be able to do it, not clear Argentina could pull it off. Leaks during training etc would make OPSEC very hard. The UK has its ears on these days.

As for the UK attacking the mainland, I could see that happening, but I would not expect a conventional attack against a BA or other large city. Instead I would expect attacks against key infrastructure like transportation,power and POL, maybe even ports. It would force the Kirchner regime to focus on domestic matters. Its hard to wage war when your population is starving in the dark. Sort of a price tag attack

In the US you would be correct, not so much Argentina.

They have few airfields capable of handling military aircraft, their roads are not build to do it. Quality jet fuel is not stockpiled and could not be rapidly trucked in. They do not have a large number of tanker trucks either. The hangars have the specialized tooling required to maintain the aircraft between sorties and the spare parts. Hitting the regional airbase alone will serious hurt them.

If this was the Black Sheep in WWII I would agree with you. Instead it is the Argentine air force which relies heavily on contractor support and has minimal logistics and infrastructure. I go back to my original post in this thread...targeteering is key. Know the enemy, find their weak spots, and hit them there.

You undervalue targeteering and the accuracy of the TLAM. Take down the fuel farm, magazines, and hangers and the base is down for more than a few days. Bomblets over the area only make it worse. Take out the associated switching station and it gets even longer. One does not simple punch holes in runways these days unless they are using runway busters ((Durandal etc)

The UK has maintained its submarine forces and they have TLAM (Tomahawk Land Attack Missile). The Argentine Navy has minimal ASW capability. A single sub could take out the airfields and do some major port damage as well. If there are one or two TLAMs left over, there goes the power grid as well.

After the airfields are closed, then the Harriers can do as they wish.

I cannot blame people for casting a jaundiced eye at the Grand Jury. The phrase “any DA could get a ham sandwich indicted” has considerable merit. The Grand Jury is often used to duck accountability. Well intentioned, but as constituted today, rarely will a Grand Jury exercise its full power. When it starts to, the Presiding Judge will start removing trouble makers and the like.

All that said, it is becoming clear that the race hustlers were wrong about the Ferguson shooting.

He was a good guy has already started.

There may also have been some other things in play

I would remind everyone that the MJ test is not conclusive that he was high at the time, just that he had used it in the last month or so. Great for finding users, not good for determining if he was high at the time.
