Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

Have the feeling that, while driving, you are being followed? Make two (2) consecutive left-hand turns. See what happens. Doubtful? Count how many times, while driving, you make two (2) consecutive left-hand turns as opposed to two (2) consecutive right-hand turns or any other combination thereof. T...

Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

During a conversation with a dear friend, who was definitely not an asshole, many decades ago we discussed nuclear strikes and the aftermaths. His opinion was definitive. He would go outside, and "embrace the light". The following link contains useful information for those that decide to s...

Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

Align side mirrors. Adopt your usual driving seating position. Adjust center rear view mirror so that the whole rear windshield is in view. Lean over to the left side (driver's) window until your head touches the window. From that position, adjust left side mirror outward so that the left lane comes...

Re: Sleepy Joe Wants You...

Well, they are looking for a loophole.

In the 90s I did a search on Google about "gun laws in the US" and it showed 300,000 results.

That's the loophole. Don't enforce the existing laws and look for an excuse to make it appear as if they are doing something to solve a problem.

Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

Fwiw, the original technique, HIAFB, IIRC was developed in the 40s or 50s by the FBI.

From there it caught like wildfire because involved people were commenting---"That shit really works, let's adopt it.".

Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

:D Yes, the image it evokes is sort of perplexing. When I first heard about it I said to myself, "No shit. You really calling it that?". I much later mentioned to a friend of mine, an Assistant US Attorney, that it's because hamsters can't swim and she said, "Oh, poor little thing!&qu...

Re: Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

And while we're at this, I always leave approximately the same space between my car and the one in front at a stop light . By force of habit. The appropriate line of sight from the front of the hood will always almost align with the back wheels of the vehicle in front. Just enough to see the back wh...

Warning: Hamster-in-a-floating-box variant

Because we all know that hamsters can't swim. Right? The hamster-in-a-floating-box technique has many variants, be it for surveillance, apprehension, or elimination methods. Suffice to say that because of its effectiveness, adaptability, and adoptability it is still in use after many decades. One su...
