Video: How to mill an 80 percent AR-15 lower with common tools



No milling machine is necessary. Using either a drill press or a portable electric drill, a router and the set of jigs sold by all the 80-percent lower dealers, you can make a ghost gun receiver quickly and easily. Both the drill and the router are available at any pawn shop worthy of the name.

Milk is about to get expensive, because of the containers

I stopped by Winco Foods yesterday on the way home from work, and visited the dairy department.

I found a letter from Darigold, the milk company in my area, taped to all the coolers.

Plastic milk jugs are made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Their jug manufacturer's resin supplier's plant is located in Texas - and shut down because of the cold snap. As a result, there is a severe shortage of HDPE resin on the market.

Darigold has declared Force Majeure, which will allow them to raise prices as high as they need to.

I know what my next tattoo is going to be

It will be a button on top of my left wrist. I will get it in about a month.

If I get lost driving in a big city, a push of this button will enable the Microsoft-FEMA-Pfizer-DHS COVID Tracking Chip that came in the vaccination I got today, and the one I will get in three weeks, to give me turn-by-turn directions to where I need to go.

You can get one too! Go to www.theresnotrackingchipinthecovidvaccine.com or www.quitbeingajackwagon.com and sign up today!

I had a hell of a COVID scare this weekend

I live in North Idaho where COVID rampancy is only exceeded by mask denial. So, when I got up yesterday with what I thought was a low-grade fever - it turned out my temp was under 98 degrees - and a case of diarrhea (both COVID symptoms) I thought "oh shit, I better get tested."

Off I go to the internets...I found a place that does no appointment/no referral testing on Saturdays and got on the road.

Question, question, question...

"Have you been around any infected people in the last 14 days?"
"I live in Idaho."
"Then that's a yes."

Today I got the results back. Fortunately they were negative, and the diarrhea has cleared up on its own.
