    This is nice.

    I'm saying don't believe everything you see on TV.

    This is nice.

    Digital compositing is even more efficient.

    No tin foil, there's a real danger with this,

    I laugh every time I see these pseudo-scientific discussions about Faraday cages. Look, even disregarding the cost and weight of a whole-house cage, you can't break the laws of physics. And it's obvious that none of the crackpots dispensing advice here has actually built a Faraday cage...

    Looking for a new device

    Right, I wouldn't buy one of their phones either. I don't follow. Are you saying that it's because they're less secure than the DarkMatter phone? So no security audit? Ok. Not trying to be argumentative. But even without examining whether any of their claimed security features would...

    Calling all Dog Lovers, OK Cats too, or any other animal lover

    According to their 2016 Form 990, only 8% of their expenses went to non-program management/general costs -- that's exceptionally low. They only spent $100K on their payroll, and around $350K went directly to the dogs they rescued: $200K for veterinary services, $65K for dog transportation, $45K...

    Looking for a new device

    Even if you believe that all of this is a lie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkMatter_(Emirati_company) how likely is it that DarkMatter can make a more secure phone than Google or Apple? The iPhone and the Google Pixel have all the security features that DarkMatter describe on their...

    Portland Crisis: With 120 Vacancies, Only 3 Out Of 60 Applicants Pass Police Background Check

    $100K individual income is for sure higher than the median. But barring a catastrophic decline in prices that somehow doesn't also hurt your income, it will never be enough to allow you to buy a house here. I don't want to derail this thread and turn it into an analysis of Bay Area economics...

    Portland Crisis: With 120 Vacancies, Only 3 Out Of 60 Applicants Pass Police Background Check

    So a couple things. First, the article you quoted from was published in 2012, a few months after voters passed a pension-reform bill that was thought to be necessary in order to keep the city from going bankrupt (thanks to short-sighted earlier administrations who traded pay freezes for...

    Range Bag

    Thanks! I've looked at tool bags for this purpose, but the ones I saw weren't nearly as nice as the one you linked. You're right; it's perfect except for the zipper. But I don't need the bag to be super-secure -- if someone can get in with a knife or a pair of pliers, that's fine -- so maybe...

    Range Bag

    Nobody makes the bag I want, and I don't know why. My list of requirements doesn't seem extreme: No external markings to indicate that pistols are inside, or in fact that anything valuable is inside. Zippers that can be locked completely closed [oddly, this feature is the one that's most often...

    TAB Gear Customer Service

    +1. I had a small problem with a TAB product a few months ago and it felt as though Tony Burkes dropped everything and made it his personal mission to solve it. Really outstanding service.

    Best insurance that covers theft anywhere?

    Something else that I think people don't realize -- especially these days, with direct-to-consumer online insurers like GEICO and Progressive -- is that insurance brokers exist, and that they do a lot more than just fill out the application for you. Note that I'm talking about brokers, not...

    Best hearing protection?

    If you live in one of the 42 states that permit civilian ownership of suppressors, buy one. Otherwise, or while you wait to actually receive it, keep doing what you're doing now -- plugs with muffs -- and look for lower-profile muffs that fit your face and stock better. Keep in mind that with...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 40mos reflex RMR vs DELTA

    I like the RMR, too, and recommended it to the last person who asked about reflex sights for a hunting sidearm. But @Gooldylocks -- an experienced pistol competitor -- recommended the DeltaPoint, so you probably can't go wrong with either one...
