The Dutchman behind this project, Dave Borghuis, wants us to know he’s not a wacko bird like those “scary and crazy” US-ians. I am not a gun nut, i find it scary things and crazy how the USA handle the gun laws. Check your own local laws BEFORE printing any part of the Liberator-tje. Just …
Say hello to WeaponsMan’s First Law of Veteran’s Charities: the more you’ve heard of it, the more likely it’s a racket. That thought came to us yesterday — Memorial Day — when a local talk show had an unusual sponsorship — the Paralyzed Veterans of America. This charity is one of the largest in America, …
It’s depressing to think that on this day, some so-called charities are ripping off good people with bogus claims of supporting vets (if this doesn’t make any sense, we didn’t get the post about deficient vet charities up). So let’s move on to something a little more positive — some entertainment, if that’s really the …
There are places to go to get them. Torrents work (the Pirate Bay, for instance) and are out of the reach of the US State Department, the IRS, and the various other agencies that are being used as hammers to drive political nails. If you know how to work BitTorrent files, you didn’t need us …

To our other readers, please accept either the blessings of the season, or simply our best wishes for your health and well-being, whichever better suits you. To all, many thanks for reading and commenting. This entry was …
Are you up for a Challenge? The unifying experiences of SF are adversity, pain, and long walks in “the environment” with 100 pounds of lightweight gear in a rucksack. Sound like fun? OK, what if they cut the amount of weight, and focus the whole thing on team-building and not chest-beating? (We’re not big on …
Ballistics By the Inch — BBTI — is a website that does something we really like: tests and develops actual data about basic firearms facts. Like some of the other sites we’ve linked to over the last year-plus, it’s a myth-buster and a fact-finder. We do like that. Some of these things have been extensively tested in …
