New underwear to the boom, please
Video gets scary around 0:35 to 0:45. Nothing to watch after that; before that, you get to see an AWACS nearly take out a tanker.
$70,000 judgement against Lancaster Arms
To the surprise of exactly nobody in the AK47 market, Lancaster Arms was hit with another judgement; this time, for $70,000. I will use my internet funball and predict exactly $0 of this settlement will be paid, he’ll open shop under another name, and the cycle will begin again.
So the bad part
was seeing a cop in uniform get cuffed, not that he, you know, wanted to rape kids. Understood.
It’s good the door had a lock
Wouldn’t want the kid having an asthma attack to kill you while he’s rolling around on the floor, unable to breathe.

Sponsorship
A few weeks ago, I approached Scott Meyer of Basic Instructions with a proposal: I’d like to sponsor comics, and get a text link on each sponsored comic in return. Scott counter-proposed removing all advertising on a per-week basis for a slightly higher fee, so as an experiment I sponsored his comic for two weeks. If you like Basic Instructions, I’d appreciate it if you donated, subscribed, or sponsored it.
Thanks.
GoPro: wind
After reading so much about the wind-cutting ability of the GoPro case and camera, I was very much disappointed by the quality of the video I shot from my roof and my hood. At speeds above about 10mph, the audio was completely washed out by the roar of the wind. Next time I’ll try a mounting strategy that gets the camera closer to the body, but to be fair, there wasn’t much room there to begin with; I wanted to leave a gap to prevent the camera from hitting the body due to road damage.
It’s nice when they’re open about it
