I think the military gets its ammo from government arms factories.

The ammo manufacturers operate under federal license, so in that respect they are kind of indentured servants. If they want to keep it, they have to do as they're told.

"Officers became exasperated when prosecutors asked for an account of a crime from a ‘PC Peach’, not realizing Peach was the name of a police dog. The CPS, however, failed to see the funny side. Officials are believed to have complained to police that their mistake has been turned into a very public joke."

I thought most federal contracts are put up for bids, and there should be no reason that a company can simply choose not to bid on a contract. Of course, when dealing with the federal tyranny, there is no telling what the rules are, as they are manufactured as required to suit the needs of the day.

Experiment where random people were asked to stand up straight with shoulders back, gut sucked in, for 2 minutes. Other random people were asked to sit slumped in a chair.
Standing people in confident pose had a marked increase in testosterone, and carried a feeling of confidence for the rest of the day. Slumping people carried a feeling of inadequacy the rest of the day.
I therefore conclude that my grandmother, a product of the early 20th century, was absolutely correct in admonishing me to have good posture and to not slump in my chair.

I know that's a joke but there may be some people on here who don't know anything about 'Shine.
The quality depends on several factors, first the ingredients, including the water. Second on how carefully the maker blends the stuff and cooks it. And importantly how clean he keeps his equipment.
And for those who don't know, you can not use a radiator to distill moonshine. It puts lead in it.

What's unusual to me is that most of the rounds asked for are the JHP type that are used against "soft tissue". They are more expensive than the FMJ type used for target practice and training. If these rounds are for training like DHS says they are, they are either 1) wasting money like they always do, or 2) know something else and aren't being up-front about it.

Apparently she got the plea because:
"The age of consent in Indiana is 16 years of age, but state employees are prohibited from having sexual relationships with anyone under the age of 18 whom they oversee."
And there was a question did she "oversee" him.
Also:

If it is known that the Astros owner is a Democrat, it will affect his bottom line. Though the state they are in now no one will notice.

Doing a bit of prohibited blog math, the ratio of alcohol content is 2.375:1 (95/40) whereas the price of the Everclear is less than double.
Everclear is the superior value purchase.
As far as using Everclear as paint stripper, your local hardware store probably carries denatured ethanol at a much cheaper cost than potable booze. But do NOT ever try to distill out the gasoline they add to make ethanol 'denatured', as it forms an azeotrope which cannot be separated by distillation.

businesses: oil, medicine, and space. All 3are despised by Obama.
Correction: Obama is strongly disliked by taxpayers in Houston. Most of Houston is FSA. I used to live there, trust me on this.

local hardware store probably carries denatured ethanol at a much
cheaper cost than potable booze. But do NOT ever try to distill out the
gasoline they add to make ethanol 'denatured', as it forms an azeotrope
which cannot be separated by distillation.
Oh, and Presidents Day sucks.

I never could afford to buy many albums and so I was pretty much restricted to songs that got radio play and friends albums.
Part of the reason I like "Smoke" is the background story (true?) that it tells a story that happened while they were in Switzerland recording the album.
"Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
Some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground"
Listen to the song again and see it in this light and you'll maybe appreciate the smoke on the water of Lake Geneva etc

who was joined on his outing by star golfer Tiger Woods, and that the WHCA would fight for greater transparency in the days ahead.

Add a few drops of Liquid Smoke flavoring to fresh native corn whiskey, and you have instant 4-year-old barrel-aged whiskey. Not really bourbon, not really sipping stock, but you will admit that you've bought worse "bottled in bond." It's a real lesson in how much handling and storage make up the taste you recognize.
In western North Carolina where distilling has never been legal, civilized folk including virtual teetotallers would enjoy fruit punches with a portion of corn liquor. They only turned up their noses at those who drank from the demijohn at distillation proof. They just saw that as a drug habit, and looked down at it.

that most cases of instant blindness and/or madness attributed to
moonshine was due to the presence of denatured alcohol in discarded
radiators pressed into distillation service.

Thats why I use everclear to make shellac and to french polish. The denatured alcohol can screw with your optic nerves. A lot of guys who were french polishing in the furniture industry in the early 1900s were going blind from the denatured stuff.

Ummm...what?!?! Did you watch the same movie?

Well, it was Mulholland Falls, so it is possible I was taking a short nap when she was on screen. Good cast, except for the Nolte, boring as all get out.

I'll never retire. Have been in private sector most of my life. Sales, my own business etc. Did OK but don't have a guaranteed pension, so I can hope for a job I'm physically able to do for as long as I can. Friend of mine was talking about having 2 years left to his 20 year gov. Retirement (at 58yrs. old) then an option to come back for 5 more years but only if he can find something easier like "training". I was trying not to hate him but it was tough. Even though I know being a cop is no cakewalk.

Not in Massachusetts!
MA Law dictates that any annual state pension yields short of 9% must be topped out of the general fund.
Win. Win.
As Henry Hill explained, "Fuck you. Pay me."
