This is good advice.

ammoseek.com lets you search for low cost ammo. Just pay attention to whether the price is for new, reman, or reloaded ammo. Best to stick with new.

Note that the title is referring to ore extraction mines. At first I thought they meant a new military anti-vehicle mine. :O

US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts in c/[email protected]

The article doesn’t make this clear but “proficiency testing” is a “testing the testers” activity that ensures that labs’ procedures are working. So milk testing done by labs will still be done but those labs won’t be tested until this is resolved. Yes, the activity being stopped is important but a short stall shouldn’t immediately accept food safety.

IIRC the plan is for the de minimus exemption to end on May 2nd. So we may see similar changes for sub-$800 shipments after that.

I second the “check a thrift store” idea. People buy them, use them 3 times, then eventually donate them so you’ll likely find several barely used models.

Using our tax dollars to house people in a Salvadoran prison. Yikes. What are the chances we can stop payment on that one?

I’ve been corrected. Is is real. It makes sense that they were just documenting his word salad.

I love the question and hope to see some good responses here.

If someone reading this has Ryan Mcbeth's ear they might want to point him to this post. He'd likely have good suggestions. Here's one of his lectures on disinformation: https://www.youtube.com/live/THfi_lxBvW0

Edit: Here's another much shorter video of his on disinformation: https://youtu.be/DZ6eMYW7Xwc

I just fought getting a 3rd party range extender working and wanted to share what I learned.

Equipment:

Macard re1200 range extender and Gigaspire blast u4 GS2028E router

After setup of the Macard extender, all 3 lights were solid green meaning that it connected and authenticated to the router. However, devices connected (wirelessly) to the macard could not access the internet.

What I found that fixed it was I had to enable the "ARP spoofing" security flag in the Gigaspire's settings. The initial user ID and password are printed on the label on the back of the router so use that to log in.
