Gun Control Brooklyn

There's a great website, spotcrime.com, which emails you every day about crimes committed within 5 miles of your address. NYC (New York City) already had one of the toughest gun control laws thanks to Bloomberg, which has been made even worse by Cuomo and Joseph Lentol Stalin. Cuomo decided that 10 rounds is too many for the common people and guns should only have 7 bullets. Being the idiot that he is, he also forgot to exempt cops. He also made up his own assault weapons ban which is even stricter than the federal one, even though less than 1% of all murders have been committed using assault weapons.
So far, the only thing that has effectively prevented gun related deaths in NY is the cold weather of 2013. A record of 0 deaths in a whole week.

There's a severe lack of up to date statistical data, especially about crimes committed using firearms but without fatalities. Let's see how well criminals obey the law. Out of plain laziness, I will only post those firearm related crimes which are emailed to me by spotcrime.

The right of the people to weaponize their kitchen, shall not be infringed.

Though these may be illegal in United States' public schools, they're not yet banned by Obama. And best of all, amazon will ship them to New York City.

First we have this 12 round AK-47 magazine from Southern Homewares.  A single-sided entry level choice for those on a budget. Personally, I wouldn't get this. It's more than 10 rounds and will soon be banned and is made of flimsy material.

My preferred choice is this 10 round AK-47 magazine. Still legal even with Obama's plans for world domination. Though if you live in New York, courtesy of Comrade Cuomo and Joseph Lentol Stalin, you may need to permanently block three holes. Now, while this is a bit expensive, it's made of quality material and is double sided ensuring proper bullet retention. Get two or three of these to ensure you don't run out of bullets at a critical time.

Need to send a message? These 12 gauge shot glasses will deliver it for you. Plastic, with a metal base, these come in a pack of four. Need more, buy two, just remember that using more than 5+1 at once is illegal.

Bringing friends? This Fred & Friends Freeze Handgun-Shaped Ice-Cube Tray will make sure you and two to five of your friends are armed and ready for action. Comes with a handy carrying handle.

All this talk of gun control bringing you down? Stick it to the man and leave him shitfaced with this Obama toilet paper from Big Mouth Toys. If you can't personally impeach him, at least you can flush him down the toilet.

Competitively incompetent

"I wonder, sometimes, which of you is the least competent," he said abruptly. "The competition is so fierce I can't make up my mind between you."

X-Mas misadventures

The morning started off great with the realization that I forgot to buy more milk for kids' breakfast. While Shlomo was getting dressed, I ran out to get milk, fortunately without any lines.

After shipping the kids off to their respective schools, no bus by the way, the plan was to go to Pavilion Theater and use my expiring soon groupon to watch Monsters Inc. 3D at 11:25. Since I was the only one awake that early, the trip got moved off to the 1:30 showing.

Out of the house and on Coney Island waiting for B68. Twenty minutes later, at 1pm, the bus shows up and is actually making great time until it gets to Church Ave at which point it stops. Waiting...waiting...waiting...finally the bus driver announces that we're waiting for the next bus driver who, being a good union employee, is now over 10 minutes late. The bus driver announces that he has no idea where the other driver is but there's another B68 coming up and we should all get off and board that one.

We finally make it to the movie theater with a few minutes to spare when I look at the movie poster and realize that this is not a sequel, but a 3D version of the original movie. Don't want to see any of the other movies which are playing and because Pavilion is so small, they're anyway hours away.

Google "showtimes 10003", Parental Guidance at AMC Kips Bay at 2:30! Off to F we go. F local is so slow, but we still got time. B'way-Lafayette is showing Downtown 6 transfer only? We'll see about that. Interesting...apparently going up and down stairs and walking doesn't count as a transfer according to the MTA. 5 minutes until the next uptown 6. 4...3...delay...delay...delay...train goes by without stopping...6 minutes?! Yeah, not gonna happen. But, the 6 stops at Union Sq which is near kosher food and both AMC and Regal.

We walk to Regal...2:30 showing...perfect! $14 for a ticket?! Wasn't it $12.50 a couple months ago? Movie theater is packed so end up sitting in 4th row. Movie was fun, though you may need to be a parent to really enjoy it.

It's now 4:30, we left the house at 12:30, and now we're hungry. Fortunately, University Pita is 2 blocks away. Unfortunately, because of the fast on Sunday and the long weekend, they're closed! Went home and stopped by Mountain Fruit to get some non-Chinese Food takeout.

At least/unfortunately didn't get into a fight with anyone at this outing.

Mobile web - image width

If you have very wide images, they are treated differently by Android and iPhone. Android will make the text full width and will have the image sticking out past the text. iPhone, on the other hand, will scale everything to the width of the widest image.

To make your text take up all available space, add the following to your mobile css file:
img {max-width:100%;height:auto !important;}
You need to enforce height in case the image has height set, which will cause it to loose aspect ratio.

Voter Fraud contact info

Voting machines across the country are changing votes from Romney to Obama and Obama to Romney depending on who's listed first. First checkbox is overlapping the top of the second checkbox. If you're voting against Obama, even if you're not voting for Romney, first make sure that your voting machine is operating correctly. If it's not, take a picture or video with your phone and call 1-800-253-3931 and/or email voting.section@usdoj.gov and/or submit a complaint form http://www.justice.gov/crt/spec_topics/election2012/index.php.

Cases of voter fraud in Brooklyn, NY:

  1. Upon inquiry about how to work the new voting machine, the voting booth attendant has repeatedly tried to trick my father and I to vote for Obama/Biden. The blind woman in front of us has unsuspectingly voted for Obama/Biden due to the same attendant's help.
  2. my co-worker told me that her mother was voting in coney island and was told by the person near the scanner that she ruined the paper and she has to choose "here" (obama) and when she said "no, it's ok, i made my choice", she was told the scanner won't take it.

Hurricane Sandy - Don't get left in the dark

Hurricane Sandy left some people homeless and a lot of people without power.  According to Con Ed, it will take four days to restore power to lower Manhattan and others can be without power for at least a week.

Stocking up on candles and regular batteries is both expensive and may not be enough as neither is a renewable resource. Also, neither will help you with having a working cell phone and access to the internet.

Hand Crank Radios
Get a hand crank radio. All of these can be charged by hand or using sunlight. All of them have an LED flashlight and also a USB port for charging your cell phone. Unlike batteries, once the charge on your radio runs down, wind it several times and you again have access to the news and light.

USB Pocket Chargers
While these will not provide you with a continuous charge and have to be charged beforehand, they're compact and will fit in your pocket or purse. These are also useful for when you want to use your phone for watching movies or playing games but will not have access to continuous power to charge your device.

UPS
An uninterruptible power supply or UPS is heavy, bulky and not cheap so why should you have one? Depending on output of the UPS and power requirements of your computer, they can keep your computer running for at least 15 minutes. They can be set up to turn your computer off safely in case of power loss. Unlike surge protectors, they will protect your equipment from spikes. In case of prolonged blackouts, once your computer is off, they can be used to charge your cell phone.

Fire and Flood restoration
If you did get flooded, get a professional. Nicole of Home Clean Home (HCH) will make sure your home is dry and mold free. HCH services most of NY, up to Albany, and will bring their own generators if your power has not been restored.
