Ahhhh, such a beautiful day in the neighborhood... Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be, my neighbor?

Time to spread some of the love around:

On Friday, the federal government boosted the viability of distributed social media platforms by effectively capping the number of user accounts to 50,000 for social networking entities that still wish to censor legal speech:

Bye bye Faceplant Twatter, and InstaSPAM
🤘💀🤘

We do not regulate lawful discourse in any of our platforms.

Illegal activity is reported and forwarded to law enforcement.

That has been out policy for 37 years.

Fuck you Gavin Newsom. You are a God damned communist and you can eat shit bitch.

Oopsies!

Interesting thing to consider - you can change the SIM Card all you want, and all that does is change the IMEI (Phone number). But no matter what you do that phone is always known anyway, by its IMSI - which is fixed and part of the phone's cellular radio - so once you connect to a cell tower you, individually, will always be known and always able to be tracked by that unique identity. The IMEI changes with your SIM Card.

After you make a couple of calls to friends, who in all likelihood are not unique because both of them historically receive calls from you, your actual identity is known.

The only way on a retail level that I know you can turn your phone back into a blank slate is to change the cellular radio, and the only phone I know of is readily equipped to do this out of the box is the Librem5, which incidentally, is the only phone endorsed by the FSF, IIRC.

That's just stupid - only imbeciles do shit like that.

Anyone who's ever had an auto go full auto in their freakin' hand knows this, and on more than one occasion I've had a 1911 go full auto on me.

The weapon takes a more or less vertical trajectory, and more than likely after three or four rounds one of the cartridges will stovepipe - that in and of itself not a very fun thing.

The lack of control over your weapon is immediate and violent, it's over before you can react, and in once case, at the outdoor LAPD range in San Pedro, a round went through the roof of the awning over the stations. Fortunately, no rangemaster caught that or I might have been liable for the repair to patch the hole.

Bottom line, use of a semi-automatic handgun involves an amount of "recovery time" between rounds to stay on target. A fully auto handgun is virtually useless and the muzzle will climb with hazardous unpredictability - do not adjust trigger pulls to less than 3lbs as a general rule, and if one goes full auto on you, take it to a qualified gunsmith to be repaired... especially if that gun is one that you will stake the lives of yourself and your family on.

Finally.... Glocks fucking suck anyway. Better off to get a Springfield XD or an H&K USP, both of which are quality weapons of similar functionality.
