Do they use it for "white noise"? Like running a vacuum for a colicky baby?
I think it is more than the noise, the heat too but who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️



I had heard/read that getting service techs to work on the foreign brands was a PITA, price at the store was good/enticing but getting someone to show up to work on them was another whole story. We bought a Whirlpool SXS back in '18 when we re-did the kitchen, along with a Whirlpool over with the front controls and digital readout.

The fridge developed a leak in the ice maker system and ruined the hardwood flooring under the fridge, and could not get anyone to come fix it under the warranty for about 4 weeks. Had the flooring repaired before the fridge tech showed up, and then he had to order parts, and come back in 2 weeks, so the fridge was moved in/out of the space several times. Luckily, no more marks on the hardwood since I laid some thin cardboard down every time the fridge was moved out. It sounds like a jet engine at times when it does one of it's cycles but still works now.

The digital readout on the oven went wonky right after the warranty ran out and won't display the entire digit so we have to go above or below to get the right temp setting for preheat, which takes FOREVER. LOL But it cooks good, so...
I believe all the parts are made in China or Korea no matter the brand.

within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States, to board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle, and within a distance of twenty-five miles from any such external boundary to have access to private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States;

In 2022 SCOTUS made a ruling in Egbert v. Boule reinforcing qualified immunity and protection from lawsuits for LEO but did not change the legality of entering a dwelling without a warrant or special circumstances.

I am not arguing at all the overlords don't already have too much power.

Your civil rights diminish in direct proportion to your distance from the border...

They never 'used' it, but CBP put up a border check station at White River Jct. VT... just under 100 miles from the Canadian border. They ran spot checks on and off. But after building it and putting in a nice rest area next to it) they pretty much mothballed it. It was not used for Messicans... but when GWOT was a thing and the abba dabbas were pouring over the Canadian border from Montreal. Which was considered a 'green zone' for the terrorists. They didn't fuck with the Canadians... who knew they were there... they didn't fuck with Canada. It was an understanding.

They could get across a very porous border in upstate NY, rural VT, rural NH... but they still had to 'get' South. And the funnel point was White River. So... a border patrol station.

Mothballed now, but could open up any time! And yes, legal.

Already published several times on the forum, ….



Note from Armageddon Gear : Some of the information in this product description may not be exactly true, but don’t hold that against us. In fact, it’s pretty much all BS, but we had a good time making this product and accompanying video and hope you have a good time with it as well

I live approx 80 miles from the Clinton National Airport in Little Rock so I guess that would give them free rein here ?
I can save them lots of time and energy if they go to the local Catholic Church …Tysons , or Walmart right this minute. The illegals here have no fear of being messed with. 🥱

What the heck is this? Bringing facts to the discussion. This here is the pit, have you fogotten where you are?

Joking aside, any port of entry to the US is legally considered to be "an external boundary of the United States." This means that any airport that has a Customs and Border Patrol facility is an external boundary. There are a lot of them: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/general-aviation-processing/general-aviation-airports

There are 100-mile radius circles in every state that this ruling applies to. If you are withing 100 miles of a medium sized airport, you are probably in the search zone. I would bet the majority of members here fall within one of those circles.
 
Interestingly, though, the actual law states 25 miles.

One of the things that most people don’t understand is that if you are a US citizen coming back into the country, they can search everything on you, including your phone.

The primary reason that I do not take a phone with me when I travel overseas is that even though I’m not a scumbag criminal, both the equivalent of the border patrol services in the foreign nation can generally do whatever they want and, our own border patrol can search your electronic devices when you return without a warrant.

Which is a really good reason to take a burner phone with you and leave your primary phone locked up in the safe powered off at home.

I don’t know about you guys, but I got all sorts of crap on my phone. None of it a problem but also none of it that anybody needs to see, play with, or decide to make something of it even though there’s nothing to be made of it, etc.

I've done it a couple times. Ranks as my least fun couple of experiences ever. One was in a wheelchair and wearing those knee high compression socks. He could have been hiding whatever he wanted in those socks. I wasn't about to make him take them off or touch them.

Unless you are suspected of something... or coming back from a weekend banging little kids in Thailand or Bogata... noone is going to bother your stuff. Most airports now are self-scanning. You have to set off the alarms to get flagged. And to get your phone searched... you are going to have to have a pretty poor set of answers to questions like 'What where you doing in Bankok for 5 days?' "I was there on a business trip with IBM at the facility on Banga banga street straightening out a software problem..." Is a good answer. "I was there on vacation and didn't really have an itinerary or any plans... will probably get you asked more questions."

The odds of getting searched are in direct proprtion to your sketchy behavior and ability to answer straightforward questions!

It's kinda like the video where the dude picks a fight and as soon as he has a victim, he strips and victim walks away, nobody wants to fight a naked guy
 
I have a new 43Xmos and while I love the 19 size guns….

The 43X is unbelievably awesome to carry. It uses voodoo of some kind that makes the slight difference in thickness into the sum of all things…

I have shot one a fair amount, was a borrowed one and I didn’t carry it any. I carried this one all weekend and it just disappears. You wouldn’t think the difference in actual width would be so profound in practice.

In drills last fall with the borrowed one, I was not quite as fast as a 19 but I believe I can train into it. The comfort is worth a slight speed penalty due to the weight/recoil difference.

As a side note, I plan to leave it stock….no really…. Just a 507K and PSA mags. Really, keeping this one stock 😂

New favorite pistol.
