Backfire Jim

I’m sick of them doing absolutely nothing about anything.😡

@whatsinside Yep. We just use FSD now. Lots of trips down to Vegas and one trip to Tahoe in the last month. No problems.

Just got home from my third road trip to and from Los Angeles in a month. The latest full self driving is honestly better than a human driving. 5500 miles this computer has driven me around since 14.2 launched. How are my stats Tesla people? I showed you mine now show me yours.

@MatrixMysteries I own 160 acres that the government won’t let me put a tiny home on. And it’s in the middle of NOWHERE!

This woman OWNS 37 acres of land. The government STILL told her she can’t put a tiny home on it. “I said, I own the land. It's massive. What's the problem?” Even when you OWN the land, the government still wants to tell you what you're allowed to do with it.

@lobotomy_user Agreed. Makes me really dislike Adobe.

great, i have to pay to cancel my adobe subscription most pathetic way to get me to keep my subscription lol

@JoelMcCreary2 It has a strong magnet to keep it from flopping around.

@Backfirejim One other question…..Does the folder lock when it’s folded or will it freely move around if not strapped to the pack?

Update on the new hunting chassis from Backfire: After weeks of work, we got the weight down to just 25oz total. Carbon fiber handguard and buttstock with a nylon/aluminum center section. Built-in bubble level. Adjustable cheek. Length of pull adjustable from 12.5-14.5”. Arca and picatinny. Price will be $799. We’ll release in October but only be able to produce VERY limited quantities each day until we improve our processes.

@PStonethrower @UziCryptoo Whining won’t get you anywhere. Make something of the opportunities you have.

@Backfirejim @UziCryptoo $3k in rent and $25 eggs oh, ok

Older generations say "we all struggled in our 20s." No, you didn't. You didn't pay $3,000 for rent and $25 for eggs. You didn't graduate into $55k student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn't dramatic. Ther're drowning.

@ShannonTaylorVA The shooter was a convicted felon—already barred by law from possessing a firearm. Criminals don’t obey gun laws. That’s the point. Gun restrictions don’t stop bad guys; they just leave good people defenseless.

My heart is with the Old Dominion community today. No student should fear for their safety on campus, and no Virginian should feel unsafe in their own community. We must confront the reality of gun violence and work together to ensure our schools and neighborhoods are places of safety, not fear.

Scopemate is a new competitor to Triggercam. We reviewed it on YouTube and showed the view through the scope with it on. The Scopemate people stalked me down and sent this (pretty abrupt) text with a screenshot of the video.

@GavinNewsom You’re free to do whatever you want to yourself. You are not free to kill another human being.

The “freedom” party strikes again.

My 17 year-old built an AI agent that logs into Canvas, check his assignments, does the homework and turns it in for him. Is he (1) not learning and needs to stop using AI, or (2) do teachers need to give students work that matters in an AI world?

@blueduck666 Bartlein and CRB are my go-to companies. If I HAVE to have a carbon-fiber wrapped barrel, I go Oregon Mountain Rifles or Proof.

Gun industry is wild. We're thumping our chests about a FOUR MONTH ship time? How did this get normalized in the gun industry?

@MrPitbull07 Agree. Tipping is generosity for excellent service. If it’s “required” then the real issue is the employer not paying their employee.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@kirawontmiss Fix the building code as a starting point. Building a home is simply too complex.

we are living in the worst generation ever

@MarinaMedvin Not defending it, but for context, the raise was only to $50,000 per year. It used to be $18k.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is what followed all of those tax increases they voted for. Typical Democrats.

This is Utah’s Governor. A he / him pronoun users who kept a DEI office in violation of state law (he changed the name of the department).

MDT just bought Lone Peak Arms that makes high-end actions. Perhaps getting ready to put the two together and make their own rifle?

My constitutionally protected Senate floor speech was taken down by YouTube, while false and defamatory attacks about me were allowed to stay up. That’s not about “community standards”—that’s a double standard, and it needs to be addressed.
