Right. I guess I should have clarified that it works be enough for each service member to be issued at least one firearm at the same time. From what I’ve gathered everything is shared, and those deployed overseas supplied their own magazines in some cases.

Americans buy a shit ton of guns every year. In just one day 200,000 background checks were submitted. If that’s at least one firearm per check (which I think you can put 4-8 per check) which is enough to arm the marine core.

Don’t forget about insurance and property tax. The monthly payment isn’t all you have to spend.

Registration fees too.

I had never paid much attention to Kimmel, (or any late night host personality) but sure I’ll watch Kimmel now.

Doesn’t seem like that would be effective on something like the interstate highways. I’d imagine actually fining people would work.

An area close to where I live turned on speeding cameras for a work zone that’s been notorious for speeders. They clocked 38,000+ tickets in the first week.

One of them was for 106 in a 60 mph zone. I haven’t kept up with it since they turned it on but it was desperately needed.

Disclosure: I’m not any expert on road safety or driver psychology. Just someone that used to drive 50k+ miles a year and saw a lot of what I thought were trends.

Well, honestly they’re not really good for anything. Most manufacturers use a bake type method, which is not in anyway comparable to a house engulfed in actual flames.

As a general consumer, this is about the best you can do. Put whatever in a “fireproof” bag inside a “fireproof” safe and you might save your data in the event of a fire.

It’s the same thing about gun “safes”. They’re not really safes unless you spend big money. Like $10,000+. Otherwise they’re categorized as “residential containers”.

I should have clarified whether or not my answer was in response to “is it possible” instead of “is it recommended”.

I think they mean if you’re using removable media that is easily portable then the answer to your question about fire proofing is doable.

You can store them in a fire safe when not actively backing up or need constant access.

I will admit, it certainly comes across like that. But it was more an illustration of how America works. This entire event is some crazy satire political cartoon that manifested itself.

The 76 year old driving an S.U.V. faced no charges.

If you go for the 2” thick filters they breathe better and have more surface area.

When I worked in foodservice, we bought it by the gallon. People would ask for it as a dressing on their salads. Gross.

Typical South Eastern US.
