.22 Magnum is Pretty Good

Double barreled revolver in 22 magnum. No, really.

On January 1, I became a criminal in my hometown of Boulder

Someone new to guns will usually ask me how often I clean my various guns. For most guns, that answer is “whenever it stops working”. The exceptions to that are carry and home defense guns. They see an adequate amount of cleaning and, more importantly, lubing.

Tam discusses that and the 2K round challenge.

Someone sent a FOIA request to ATF on the database that tracks machineguns and got this:

Pre 86 (transferables): 175,977
Sales Samples (pre May keepers): 17,020
Restricted 922(o) (posties): 297,667

A good read.

Zev has released a new gun that takes Glock magazines. It seems similar to the Sig 250s in that it has a receiver that everything connects to.

In comments, OtherSteve schooled me on passwords and how I was doing them wrong:

Youre fundamentally wrong.

Im try and keep it short but if you are complaining about password requirements youre doing everything wrong. Every website password you have should be at least 16 chars random values.

If you arent using a password manager right now you are a fool and behind the curve.

Get LastPass, there are other options but LP is really hard to mess up. Install the extension into your browser, get the app for your phone. Set up account and add EVERYTHING to it. Get your spouse and employees to do the same if you share passwords with them.

LastPass never has your passwords they can see on their server, locally decrypted only. They never have your master password to open the vault. You will turn 2FA : multifactor on so that when accessing LastPass you need your phone and master pass every 30 days, meaning if someone stole your master password they would need to steal your phone to access also. You can make a OTP (one time password) sheet and put it in the safe so your spouse or kids can access your vault if you ever need them to.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to be complaining about password requirements right now. That is a symptom not of bass web policy, but of your bad practices.

I think bad practices is a chicken and egg thing. Do we have bad practices because of dumb password policies? Or do we have dumb password policies due to bad practices? But he’s right. LastPass makes everything work better and more securely. Thanks for the help. And I do recommend it.
