Sounds like something that technically applies to this section. In 120 days, non-competes are null and void. To be honest, these were hard to enforce anyway, so this is more or less just formalizing what already was the case in reality...

https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/rockland/2023/05/05/immigrant-relocation-rockland-orange-county-ny-planned-what-we-know/70189352007/ Right, so push the problem you're in favor of continuing onto people who don't want it? Not to be overly alarmist, but this is horse shit. Heard it on the...

https://thehill.com/news-by-subject/healthcare/3755022-new-york-city-to-start-hospitalizing-more-mentally-ill-people-involuntarily/ So now the NYPD are medical professionals apparently. Moreover, this solidifies that I will never work in an authoritarian place like NYC ever again. To...

There is already a ton of threads on gear, and even preserving foods already in this sub-forum. However, I don't see a good discussion on nutritional content of long shelf life foods. The thought occurred me while looking at the content of these MRE packs and prepacked "survival" foods. They'll...

Fixing to do some airsoft with @Celt in the near future, and I'm looking at chest rigs. Since I have an AK pattern rifle, I'm looking for something that would work for both the airsofting and as a good backup harness to my current rifle. Interesting take on a good cheap carrier and some simple...

Imperati, that served under Butch Anderson for decades, was the undersheriff and wants to take over / run. Butch was grooming him to take over anyway, and he shares conservative values of the community. Hochul seems to think she knows better, and wants to appoint the daughter of a Wappinger...

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/nassau-county-exec-rejects-ny-school-mask-mandate-then-gov-hochul-rejects-him/3484146/ So, per usual the state is throwing around their stolen tax money to control / bend local government to their will. My question is: what if parents all took their...

Goruck has started selling these cut for the laptop compartment of their rucksacks. Considering I have a few of their bags, I'm debating getting one -- although maybe there are cheaper options. https://www.goruck.com/products/dfndr-armor-rucksack-insert

https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-truck-driver-who-spent-153-on-campaign-locked-in-tight-race-with-new-jerseys-democrat-senate-president Interesting. Would be a huge upset if he wins. I'm encouraged for once.

This is disgusting. I don't even know where to begin with this. Utter shock. This is the article being cited in the video: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/10/05/uchealth-transplant-unvaccinated/

So, I've heard of things like mutual assistance groups. I'm not talking about that in the "prepping" sense. I'm talking about working together for the purpose of being better informed citizens. This is, I believe, the first step in taking better political action -- having better awareness. One...

https://nypost.com/2021/05/07/how-a-confederate-flag-painted-on-a-rock-could-cost-a-mom-her-kid/ So, I agree the rock is distasteful. However, distasteful is not the business of the government. They can fuck right off with trying to enforce bullshit like this. The government is always...

NY is set to lose at least one seat, if not two. This is the vindication we need as we push to get the state back under control of The People. People are fleeing the state (no surprise, really), due to the failures of NY policymakers to address actual problems within the state like high taxes...

This is ... insane that someone wants to take a non-sequitur chain of thought this far, but: https://reclaimthenet.org/msnbc-analyst-says-biden-falling-meme-could-incite-violence/ So I guess we're the big bad guys and they're coming for us next, huh? You know, with our Tim Horton's meets, and...

https://nypost.com/2021/03/06/ny-lawmaker-wants-sex-ed-for-kindergartners/ Stop putting your children through state funded brainwashing. I'm not opposed to anyone doing whatever they want, but impressing this upon impressionable kids is unacceptable and pushing views. These are not decisions...

https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/schumer-federal-pandemic-relief-eliminates-nys-deficit/ Not sure how I feel about this. Personally, I don't think it's the responsibility of other states to bail the bad management of this state out. They fucked up. As much as I'm happy taxes aren't going up, this...

This is actually quite serious. If we no longer have a right to choose encryption, by it being specifically forbidden, then there is no more privacy in 90%+ of our daily lives. Not that most orgs we interact with won't talk to the government if asked, but because if you don't have the ability...

I'm thinking of building one. Once cell phones started removing access to the battery... I think I need one of these around. Thinking of taking a small box, line it with foil for a few layers. Need to get a scanner to view the signal strength and confirm. Ideally I'd like to big enough to fit...

So, I live with someone who is technically on ADD meds. Or rather, will be starting to take ADD meds. My firearms are normally always locked up in a safe. That safe contains no ammo. The keys are secured both in a concealed location, and inside a small safe with a combo lock on it to prevent...

This is... interesting. While "technically" feds do have jurisdiction over federal crimes, it appears that the local municipalities are arguing they have the power to stop it since such enforcement is criminal. It's ballsy. They may wind up being arrested for it as well. Who knows how this will...

Been getting emails / notifications recently that Starlink is starting to open up for NY areas. I think there were a few people on the forum who were waiting for it so they could ditch their providers or give it a shot. Anyway, figured I'd let people know for those that were waiting on it...

https://nypost.com/2021/02/17/biden-says-uighur-genocide-is-part-of-chinas-different-norms/amp/ Well, if anyone had any doubts before that this guy is going to throw us under the bus with China...

There's a ton of things to push for that we all probably agree on legislation wise. However, I only have so much time I can only devote and need to probably focus on few. One particular thing I'd like to see is progress on the topic of getting direct initiatives enacted in NY state. Direct...

https://national-justice.com/senator-marco-rubio-introduces-bill-suspend-gun-rights-anyone-who-has-ever-been-investigated https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/1778/text So, my understanding here is that the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act from 2020 is being reintroduced...

So, not sure if posting this here or off-topic is best, but it seems politically relevant. After a long media blackout, Trump made it to Gab -- or at least, I'm seeing new posts that aren't old tweets that Gab archived / reposted before the "purge."...

Literally took the words out of my mouth. "This is the way." Fuck yeah. Tenth amendment, baby.

I really feel bad for a lot of these guys that got laid off. We have so many pipelines that aren't being eliminated in this country. Clearly, this was done as a political move. A political move with real world consequences for these hard working people.

https://nationalfile.com/breaking-donald-trump-announces-office-of-the-former-president-pledges-to-carry-on-the-agenda-of-the-trump-administration/ If he wants to advocate for causes I don't have a problem with it, but it'll be hard to do with a media blackout.

Something particularly concerning to me is the shuttering of conservative voices as of late. If we do not protect 1A, and make the effort to protect it, there will be no "other" voices left to speak freely. I do want to be clear, however, that I vastly disagree with many of the voices that were...

I thought this was a good article. Many may not agree with me, but he makes some good points to me, which I'll highlight. https://amgreatness.com/2021/01/15/we-need-a-maga-2-0/ In summary, it's time to move beyond Trump and harness the energy and anti-establishment sentiment into something...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-vows-to-unify-america-that-job-has-become-dramatically-harder-11610723681 So, imo, there is only one way I'm personally going to think Biden is interested in unifying America: he goes after big tech for free speech crackdowns. I doubt he will, but if he...

Well as if the city wasn't insane enough these days... https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-nyc-assault-rifle-video-20210115-kihcaccdcfb7vkg7ozyhghqqbm-story.html

https://apnews.com/article/jack-dorsey-twitter-defend-trump-ban-843c3e5fb72c0cfb89c1fd1132a525d8 There is something in this article I find particularly interesting. A point which can be used as a knife in the side of big tech. Distributed, uncontrolled, social media. That's the point which...

Anyone else notice this? Went to like 25% scale one day in the page formatting, at least for me.

Was doing dishes and thinking about this for a moment. How many of you guys have played this game? It's far from a realistic survival simulator in a lot of senses, but it's an EXCELLENT SHTF human nature simulator. Basically, world is post-apoc. SHTF, zombies are everywhere, and resources are...

Seems to be on a lightning sale. I have one already. I picked up a second one as a backup I like it so much. $115, normally was $250 when I got it a long time ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0752V8D8D/ Considering the newest model has half the battery life, and double the price, no way...

Obviously a little goofy, but figured you'd get a kick out of this. Especially @GOPerfect .

Just some food for thought, and this is quite a broad thread, but I think we have to start giving some serious thought, regardless of if Trump wins or loses, regarding how to correct course on this country. Make no mistake, it's on a course down a dangerous path for our freedoms and our...

Trump's counter to the 1619 project. Basically it looks like he's trying to counter the divisive racial education being promoted in schools. I did take a few classes geared towards graduate school at some point and going into teaching social studies. I witnessed first hand how they tried to...

I know we're all busy taking time to stock up on toilet paper at the moment, but sometimes it pays off to sit down and really think about a few things. I have views of a lot of things, and disagreements on a lot of topics, on this forum. However, going into this election, this is the piece of...

Really nailed it out of the park with what my personal thoughts are on the matter, but I could be wrong here as well. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/522957-dont-believe-the-polls-trump-is-winning-bigly

It's kind of ironic that the platform which, willingly or not, facilitates the eco chambers that give rise to unrest, is trying to control unrest. Also, while I understand the sentiment, I also feel this is the road to hell -- paved with (maybe) good intentions. Just because disagreement could...

Which one of you guys was just on route 9 with a fucking 15 foot billboard tied on top of a metro north decommissioned utility truck? I only got a glimpse of the sign, but it said something along the lines of “fire the spineless lawmakers”. Only got a back shot of it so you can see how big this...

This is why you limit what you post online. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/01/white-supremacist-protest-activism-emily-gorcenski?utm_source=pocket-newtab So, she's not just using pictures and doing searches based on those pictures. She's basically using vast amounts of third...

Anyone here into lock picking? I think only NYC and Nassau County give you any trouble in this state as far as needing a license, while you're otherwise free to do whatever elsewhere. Waiting to get a disc lock pick -- I've seen a few in action, but never tried to pick a disc lock yet.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/reparations-california-study-black-americans/ Considering Cuomo can't be outcucked, I wonder how long till NY does the same. Better not be with my tax dollars though -- my family wasn't in the country until after the civil war.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/mit-warns-faculty-of-ice-visits-urges-cooperation I know the title makes it seem like I'm not in favor of what is going on, but I absolutely am. This is LONG overdue in general. They're checking immigration status on the campus -- which, of course MIT is tipping off...
