@price_dominie "Don’t take a cellphone"
Dont take ANYTHING that emits a signal: Cell, BT, WiFi, Car keys, etc...
Newer systems are pulling all that on top of visual.
Many would be surprised at how much identifieable data they emit at any given time and just how easy it is to scan and ID it.
@BudLightSadness The amount of times ive called random screws/bolts/machines a "Real rat bastard" im surprised someone hasn't said something to me about it.
@WeaponOutfitter After looking (I could have sworn I saw a got era photo with "trijicon acog" laser engraved on old acogs.) It does not appear to be real. Probably wouldnt be out $100 on a fakcog if they aren't $1200 on a real acog. Maybe out an upper. But now an optic.
@WeaponOutfitter There are but thats a full auto lower with a lot of rubbing damage to the side of the reciever. This seems like something a tanker would do TBH.
American Exceptionalism XVIII: The Transcontinental Railroad
The World Before:
Continents used to defeat nations by distance. Mountains, deserts, rivers, weather, and months of travel could make one people strangers to itself. A country might claim the map and still be too weak to hold it together.
The American Answer:
The Transcontinental Railroad drove steel through the wilderness and stitched the republic coast to coast. Irish laborers came from the east. Chinese laborers came from the west. Dynamite, sweat, snow, granite, and ambition carried the nation across terrain that had once looked unconquerable.
America did not merely cross the continent. It fastened itself to it.
The Legacy:
The railroad made the United States physically real at continental scale. Goods, people, soldiers, newspapers, letters, and ideas could move with a speed no earlier generation had imagined. The frontier did not vanish, but the old tyranny of distance was broken.
The Threat:
The enemies of this country hate the kind of ambition that builds across centuries. They inherit the rails, roads, dams, grids, and cities, then sneer at the civilization that made them possible.
The Transcontinental Railroad remains a rebuke to every small spirit that looks at a continent and sees only limits.
@mnsibley We are the cult of the "third bookers" we have been promised a third book from the prophet of the first and second books. And we will not stand down until third book. Initiation to to simply comment "third book when, Sibley?" Under one of your posts.
i truly hope someone in the administration takes this seriously. every measure at the federal governments disposal must be used to disincentivize birth tourism and encourage illegal immigrants to leave of their own volition. currently illegals are keeping their heads down waiting for the next administration. we must make it unprofitable, unappealing, and difficult in as many ways as possible to stay in the U.S. if you’re not a citizen.
America is an idea that we will never quit. We will out work you and figure out how to make it work.
