    Cali Cop Threatens to Kill Anyone Openly Carrying a Handgun (Even if it's Legal)

    Since when does the 1st amendment guarantee that exercising that right doesn't come with consequences? I can tell a cop, or my boss, to go F themselves. Doesn't mean that I won't be tasting the paint on a cruiser's hood or looking for a new job.

    To gun owners

    My XDm 40 stays loaded with 16 rounds in the mag, one in the chamber, cocked (of course) and holstered with an extra mag next to it 24/7 at home. My USP 40 is also loaded up to max (13 rounds ni the mag, one in the chamber) hammer down and holstered. (Been tossing between engaging the safety...

    Picking up a new pistol

    For what it's worth, I just picked up the XDm (in .40) but did shoot the new XDm 9mm as well and I've gotta say, they're both very nice. The XDm's just fit my hand like a glove (easy to hit the mag release button and slide release with my thumb without having to stretch my hand or reposition my...

    Found: Black widow in apartment

    Still creepy, hehe. (North Phoenix here.) I've gotta give the little fella credit tho. He tore up the water beetle population for me =)

    Found: Black widow in apartment

    It's definitely a bad pic... handheld with a 70-200mm lens, onboard flash, and a razor thin DoF from having the aperture at 2.8. Unfortunately, the other half dozen I snapped came out even worse, so unfortunately I don't have anything else to offer in the photo department.

    Found: Black widow in apartment

    I actually wasn't 100% sure on it being a black widow myself since I couldn't get a shot of it's underside without getting way too close for comfort. I've only ever seen one in my life other than this (the other most definitely had the telltale hourglass shape on it) so I wouldn't be too...

    Found: Black widow in apartment

    Ok, I've always had a bit of insectophobia in general, but spiders, especially the really creepy kind, have always held a special spot on my list. A couple weeks ago I had the front office send in the exterminator to take care of some little bugs I'd noticed (one maintenance guy called them...

    it's here! it's here! 1st dslr has arrived

    Just a quick tip to keep in mind. As a *general* rule of thumb, you should try to keep your shutter speed higher than your focal length (or something like that.) For example, if you're shooting something @ 50mm, you would want a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second or faster. The 2nd shot you...

    quality of Compact Flash.

    The Oly e410 has a max fps of 3, @ 10mp resolution, which is on par with the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. In the case of both cameras, Sandisk Ultra II's are going to be plenty fast, especially if you're not going to be using the max fps much. I started out with the XTi and Ultra II's and never...

    Suspicious-looking SanDisk cards

    Final update: Got the following back from SanDisk today. Hello, Thank you for contacting SanDisk. We have received your email with photos. The all black card is the 2007 card which was changed cosmeticly only. The red and silver and black one was manufactured in 2006. Everything is the...

    Suspicious-looking SanDisk cards

    Update: I did get a response from SanDisk via email. Instead of confirming or denying the authenticity of either of my cards, they asked me to email photos of the front and back of the cards to rma_support@sandisk.com. Email sent, so now I wait again =)

    Suspicious-looking SanDisk cards

    Doh, don't know why i didn't check DPR. Definitely good news from the looks of it. You would think that in an industry plagued by counterfeiting SanDisk would make a point of having these new designs visible on their website. Oh well, so long as it's the real deal. I've always had the best...

    Cannon Digital Rebel Lens Help

    I'll definitely 2nd the 70-200 F/4L. I bought this one (non-IS version) a couple months ago and it truly is an amazing lens. L-quality all the way, and relatively affordable at the $550'ish price point. It's built like a tank, but isn't obscenely heavy hanging from my neck on my XTi body.

    Suspicious-looking SanDisk cards

    I hope I'm just being paranoid, but I figured that it couldn't hurt to ask around and get some input on my situation. I've been shooting with SanDisk CF cards since my first digital camera and have always had flawless performance from them. Yesterday I added to that with two new 4GB Ultra II...

    Apartment management nightmare

    I already know how to replace breakers, that wasn't the issue. I'm paying rent so that I don't have to deal with the headaches of home repairs. That's the management's job/financial responsibility, not mine.

    Renting a car, under 25.

    Not sure if they do or not. "Hertz" was listed on the ticket as the vehicle owner. I neverheard anything after that aside from just paying for the ticket. Even my insurance company seems to still be in the dark on it.

    Renting a car, under 25.

    I rented an Infiniti M35 from Hertz a month or two ago to drive out to San Diego and didn't get anyextra fees/costs due to age. Of course, they may think twice about that next time since CHP nailed me doing 90 in a 70 zone heading back on I10 outside of El Centro =( Age 24 here.

    Apartment management nightmare

    Agreed =) In my defense, however, the written complaint actually was written by a friend's mother who has worked for a few law firms over the years. Not that I wouldn't have googled away until I found a suitable looking letter, but this was suitable AND correct for the locality. Do I get...

    Apartment management nightmare

    Dunno about the wiring in general, but being the anal person I am, i actually took a basic outlet tester to each and every outlet in this place the day I got the keys. Also traced each outlet back to the breaker panel and labelled the outlets. Overall, I'd say they did decent here. Microwave...

    Identical breaker. Twin pull 30 amp, same as what was in there before. Ran a couple water soaked towels thru just to be sure that the fix took, and it appears to be as it should have been 27 days ago when I moved in =)

    Apartment management nightmare

    Update: Just got home about 20 minutes ago (approx 5:10pm). Verified what the webcam saw (nothing) and went to the front office. With a smug feeling, I waited for one of the office twits to approach me. Upon asking me 'how are you?', and in front of three prospective tenants, I spoke not...

    Apartment management nightmare

    Agreed. Unfortunately Phoenix isn't known for having the most affordable real estate market around. Otherwise I would have hauled ass into a nice new house by now. Sure that would have it's issues to, what house doesn't? But at least in the end I am in control with a house. Perhaps I...

    Apartment management nightmare

    These guys can label me any way they wish. The chances of me actually wanting to renew my lease later on are basically nil at this point anyway. The method you outline of being friendly, and requesting even a simple callback from them to keep me up to date, have fallen on deaf ears since...

    Apartment management nightmare

    Yikes. And that is why I no longer live in Harrisburg =) I'm mainly hoping they'll just complete the repair. I mean, it takes all of ten minutes to swap out a breaker. With any luck (not that luck has been with me so far)it will either be done before I get home today, or the letter will...

    Aside from some of the other responses to this post, I'll just say that the property manager seems to be there even less than maintenance. That is to say, never.

    Apartment management nightmare

    There's also a glaring security issue with the door access to the garages, two of three community gates that are never closed (one, admittedly, due to some moron running the gate down with god knows what), door deadbolts that don't have deep enough holes drilled into the door frame, security...

    Apartment management nightmare

    I don't know that I can help with that, but I'll certainly have pics and video of them should they enter my apartment and *gasp* maybe even repair the issue! Got the place under webcam surveillance with motion detection, audio, off site storage, the whole nine yards =)

    Apartment management nightmare

    So I moved into my own place towards the end of last month. Aside from other issues that I haven't yet had a chance to bring up to the apartment management, one glaring issue has become a bit of a headache. Short Story: dryer doesnt work, maintenance useless. Full story: June 27th...

    Reason not to flick your Bic

    How much do you spend daily...

    Once upon a time, I stopped at Starbucks every morning on the way to work. After that cost started to add up, I switched to just grabbing an energy drink or two from a mini mart on the way in. Even that added up to more than I wanted, so I then put Costco to use and started buying Monster by...
