Biggest asshole in CHP get qualified immunity revoked

I spent a relaxing 45 minutes watching this. I thought the three judge panel asked the right questions. Morales, the CHP officer was a dick and "earned" the right to be stripped of qualified immunity. Just because you can cuff someone, it doesn't mean you should - and doing so without consult (with a firefighter in an emergency situation) was a grave error.

TRump is in the Oval Office.
Bongino is in the FBI catbird seat.
If there was a conspiracy, there are people working on finding the players. If the people running things now don't or won't find it, you nor I has a chance in hell of "exposing" anything.

Yeah i know. "We gotta make sure people don't forget."
No we don't. I haven't forgotten CNN live televisimg one of 96 Trump rallies, I am sure you haven't...good.

HOLY CRAP

Damn, the FAA shut down the track at the Mojave airport where I was gonna get her up to over 200mph. Can't find anyplace legal to do this. Can't do it on an empty highway, might lose my CCW permit. Won't risk that. Is there anywhere with a long straightaway where people can do this legally in the U.S.? Anyone know? At 200+ you're going a football field length per second. I wanna go FAST!

M14/M1A built or buy??

I once had a dream of a suppressed M1A... even with a Schuster adjustable gas plug there is a fair amount of blow back. The rifle gets extremely dirty fast, and the accuracy with the can on goes to crap. My theory is it's because of the extra weight of the can on a relatively small diameter barrel has a negative effect on the harmonics.
That might be the case, but I will only add that BPT made for SOCOM a special "Rev 2" gas piston with a tiny hole that prevented over-gassing of the system. Unfortunately this is a unicorn part and I know of only one person who has one of these gas pistons. Supposedly a small number were purchased by Crane/SOCOM back the late 1980s or early 1990s, but I have never seen one for sale.

Fwiw, I have a bunch of spare USGI pistons and have considered asking someone who is an expert welder to make a few with the welded up hole that have been polished and re-drilled that tiny 1/16" hole. I have not pursued that, but it would be nice if SADLACK or some other company made 100 gas pistons like that top unit to see if that helps the a suppressed M14 and the issue of gas blowback...
