Trucker's Friend: Valuable multitool or Tacticool garbage?

---

You didn’t include a picture but if it is the one I found called “trucker’s friend” to me it looks like a bad joke.
I am somewhat confused as to why it would be considered a “trucker’s friend”, I was expecting it to be a tire bat or something at least slightly useful to a driver.
This? Not so much.

Resetting the modem and router

We have ours on a power strip and shut them off at night. My wife thought it would help the kids sleep better but I thought she was loco. Then I started sleeping better so I'm all about turning off the radios now.

It does no harm to the equipment.

Browning Hi Power

Ive owned a number of them over the years, and they all fed pretty much anything I put in them.

I think the FM's are likely the strongest versions, but a little coarse in fit and finish, and more utilitarian in comparison to the others. Mine were accurate and reliable. The FM mags wouldnt fit in my Brownings or Inglis, but their mags would work fine in the FM.

While I had one, I was never really a fan of the "tangent" Inglis guns, and preferred the ones with the standard sights. I was never a fan of the stocks on them either.

I also prefer the standard type hammer over the "ring" versions.

Not a fan of the mag safety either, but it is what it is.

I still think the HP's have about the best feeling grips of any of the high cap guns. Its design is really something if you think about it, as its a steel-framed gun with added grips. Nothing else I can think of has that same feel.

More Union Pension Plan Bailouts Proposed

These stupid ideas won't die! Yet another proposed bailout of a mis-managed Union pension plan has been proposed, the Miners' Pension Protection Act. According to the Heritage Foundation, union managed private sector pension plans are in a cumulative hole of $638 Billion, meaning workers were promised nearly $640 Billion more in benefits than the union funds have in projected assets. Much of the short-fall is in multi-empoyer funds.

The huge labor unions and large employers are almost solely to blame for this predicament. In the past 10 years, stocks have enjoyed an extended bull market which has boosted pension returns so that the average corporate fund was 87% funded at the end of 2018. Not so most union controlled multi-employer funds.

The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp (PBGC) is a Federal Government administered insurance fund that's supposed to guarantee pensions. There are separate funds for single employer and multi-employer pensions. The single employer fund is in good shape financially but the multi-employer fund is in horrible shape because large corporations, who fund pension insurance, were not make actuarily sound payments into the fund.

The solution is fairly simple:
1) Require huge corporations that have multi-employer pensions to make larger insurance premium payments into the multi-employer PBGC fund.
2) Require labor unions to calculate reasonable rates of return when assessing the funding level of their pensions and require companies to make adequate contirbutions to their pension plans.
3) Cut benefits to pensioners rather than tax hard-working taxpayers in order to make up the difference in promised pensions.

It is hugely important that taxpayers resist bailing out private pensions as a Federally managed bailout of private, union plans may lead to bailouts of public sector funds.

Self driving car kills pedestrian.

Interesting that the article only touched on the human backup driver in general. Wouldn't speak directly as to whether, in this specific case, the human either took over, or tried to take over, or even if he/she even saw the pedestrian (if not, was that person distracted, watching Netflix, or what). I'm sure the dead woman's family has an open lawsuit against Uber, and they can't/won't say anything that'd hurt their case, but you'd think that basic information would be in the police report...
