Geesh. Fine - but I get half the trinkets... keychains, posters, whatnot.
Also... half the tickets to premiers and awards shows... doesn't have to be the good tickets either, just so I get inside the door.
Deal?
Absolutely - I'll cut you in for, what?, 50% of my cut?
By what?

You are asking questions and becoming informed, instead of going all moral panic without being informed.
At TDWTF?
Gibberish.
The only "moral panic" I have is the shock that California can somehow get out of bed in the morning and manage to get dressed by itself.
Oh, wait... I'm being species-ist and able-ist with that comment.
Note that this is well beyond your typical field strip or cleaning. A field strip is generally sufficient to get at the firing pin and would take someone familiar with the firearm much less time.
Figured. Since I just happen to have zero hands-on experience beyond a .22 starters pistol... figured I'd actually ask to be sure instead of simply assume...
(which raises the question of what I'm doing in this place... )
Very. Anyone who shoots also cleans their firearms.
Ah. That is what I thought I knew.
As usual, California = ridiculous.
Aren't firing pins a consumable?
Were they planning on registering small metal pins?

³ Actually, my wife would have been cool with it, but it sounded stoopid.
Interesting. I've known a lot of people (younger) than me who didn't want to know.
I think it depends on whether you're going to do anything with the information...
If you're in the (yea I've forgotten all the pricey-baby brand stuff I used to know!! ) high-faluttin' crowd who's decorating the "nursery" in the right colors with color coordinated toys and curtains... then you want to know.
If you're going out and buying things in green and yellow... hah! take that, Madison Avenue!.... then the waiting isn't a problem.
In Sweden, before you get a gun, you need to have a gun-cabinet that is heavier than your average safe, and you need to keep vital parts of your guns locked up elsewhere, and you are only allowed to carry the gun if it is not concealed and you have a license for it and are on your way to or from a shooting range. Getting the license? For hunting rifles this involves taking courses on gun handling before being certified after a test (which involves just as much knowledge about animal tracking and hunting as it does actual gun handling). For small-arms, it means being an active member of an established and authorised shooting club and then get the club's approval before applying with the police for a license.
These seem (more or less) like the steps a reasonable person would/should take...
There's probably partly why I am personally unarmed... I'm not part of a gun culture group - aside from my slightly nutty father-in-law and my mild-mannered neighbor that I just learned (I think) is armed.
Being a noob is a to getting properly trained up.
The hardest part for me is stopping my wife from doing too much, and making sure she takes care of s herself
Yes - take care of the basics well and thoroughly.
Unless your wife is contemplating a career change into the SAS (or there are reasons - then I will mind my own business) "doing too much" shouldn't be a problem - most folks go too far the other way.
Beware of the final stage of "doing too much" - the "nesting" instinct is real.
My wife decided to replace our toilet on B-Day-minus-5.
Good luck.
complain
I could. But that would do even less good than complaining here.
cracked windshields are more likely to shatter in a collision
+1 pro "fix", the others.... I'm not terribly persuaded.
A minor crack ('sterretje') can be fixed easily and reliably.
AFAIK... that's for surface dings, scratches, and cracks....
This stupid thing is 6-8" long and there's no surface damage somehow.
So the whole thing would have to be replaced... which can be fixed easily and reliably... they've got services that come to your work, pop out the old one and drop in a new one in, what, less than an hour?
It's pretty much 50/50 whether it's worth it, but at least I'm going to wait for the VDOT meteor storm to finish.
That was @Frostcat IIRC.
Confused my mammals.
Yeah...I took Georgetown Pike yesterday just to avoid that mess.
Good call. Why in the name of Terry McAuliffe would they be this hostile to the Blue State?
Weird thing is, I can hear and feel these giant clunks and thunks, but I find no dings... even the crack in the windshield is perfectly smooth.
No inspection.
Didn't you have that tire that was falling apart...?
Ow ... windshield is generally totally covered here. Side or back windows not, that can be expensive.
It's been like 20 years since I needed to (I think) and whatever the cost is, its pretty minor, but my car is starting to be worth a pretty minor amount too...
So, pro-"fix-it" folks - why?
is it covert by insurance?
I am trying to be covert w.r.t. insurance... yes. ;)
It is covered though and at some deductible lower than normal, and theoretically with less "penalty" from the insurer because "windshield" and because I can blame the local highway authority for leaving a gravel-ly mess behind their construction project.
Radio traffic even reported the mess this morning... "lower visibility because of the dust kicked up"
Ok - have 6-8" crack in windscreen above-ish the rear-view mirror...

A less scientific invention. But helps to avoid paying money to rich land owners when traveling.
Status: rethinking my views on camping.
@JazzyJosh said:I mean, you could set up a completely independent non profit (e.g. Boomzilla's Boy Scout Works Association) that does things for the community and said non profit could charter the troop.Yes, you probably could. Ain't nobody got time for that.
AFAIK: But not if things work "as they should" - there's multiple layers of things that are there to protect the boys from adults who are too interested in boys and to protect the BSA (and all the boys involved there). So they want an independent chartering organization.
The poor sap who signs the charter (and I believe its a legal charter for the pack or troop) is attesting that nothing untoward is going on. I.e. there are no "goings-ons".
Not really relevant, but TFTDWTF and all:

Join Scouting Night swag?
Absolutely. Except they've done it very Discousely.
They wanted new Cub Scouts to immediately get to jump into something super fun™ !!
The newbies were supposed to get free entry to a special Scouting day at a local club and get to shoot off their rockets.
So, we completely re-arranged ourselves to move our camping trip from Gettysburg to somewhere local - because "Camping" isn't very much "Scouting" ;)
Ooops. They changed their minds about waiving the $15 fee.
It was supposed to be this Saturday. (See Weather, East Coast US).
It may be one of those years.....
Don't forget Youth Protection - no adults alone with kids not their own.
We picked up 11 on Mandatory FunRecruiting Night. Including a 5th grader. (minor but "welcome aboard!!" )

One of her last series, that she did with Jacques Pepin was great!
The two of them worked very well together - and it's a pleasure to watch people who enjoy what they're doing.
Trigger Warning
One thing I liked very much was the way Jacques would just very nonchalantly pick up the slack for things Julia could no longer do* and she was treated as a completely equal partner in the goings on.

International twaddle:
Imagine how terrifying it must have been for the kid to see the police car pull up outside his school.
FWIW, the officer was already there. Middle and High Schools in that district have their own "Resource Officers".
INB4 whatever, yes, they are actual full-fledged police.
Local TV stations:
He was charged as a juvenile with second-degree assault and released to his mother at the school.
IANAL but this all seems kosher to me.
