Congratulations on your SCAR. What a score.
Love the SCAR 17. I have one and put an Elcan SpecterDR optic on mine. It's a really neat piece of glass and probably one of the few things made by Raytheon that people like us can just go and buy.
Anyone have Senior’s affected by this shit? I’ve got a Senior in HS that got a call from his coaches this week that his Lacrosse season is officially done. Being senior year he was hoping something could be done to extend it. This class will also have no prom or HS graduation. What a painful lack of closure.
A couple summers ago he worked for a local indie shop in exchange for a ‘97 D1. It was a long, hot and humid summer he says taught him things he didn’t know he need to learn.

And the legal action is against the schools to try to keep them from doing online instruction. Not to keep them closed, or to reopen the buildings, but to keep instruction from happening online. PM me if you want more clarification.
No online instruction? My kids have been off for 2 week (or is it 3) and have had online classes/home school work since day 1. Grades 4, 6 and 8th.To clarify... when I say to get school going again this coming week, I mean online instruction. None of us want to go back into the petri dish.

Robert,Moved our daughter out of the freshman dorm at college earlier this month.
She is taking her school of engineering classes on-line.
It will be interesting to learn what happens to tuition fees.
If someone can get a good education on-line, then will brick and mortar universities become a thing of the past?
It is also interesting that most of the local municipalities have had limited VPN connections for professional staff for over 20 years, yet very few if any worked from home.
None of them had expanded on-line services until COVID-19 popped-up.
Now suddenly you can get permits on-line where you couldn't before.
It's a pity that very few people have original ideas.
They are all driven by trends that come from what others are doing.
It will be interesting to see what happens at VA DMV.
They put in a new "streamlined" system over 10 years ago, because most of the online services didn't exist.
Last time I checked in January, a customer was still required to go in person to the DMV for the most simple of services, like to transfer tags from one vehicle to another.
Since we are in "lock down" and can't go to DMV, I wonder how those knuckleheads will deal with providing service.
Would love to be a fly on the wall buzzing "no shit sherlock" when they decide to extend on-line services.
We are not experiencing a technology boom of on-line services, just experiencing a pandemic forcing people with limited vision to expand on-line services outside of their comfort zone of control to do something with the technology that has existed for over 25 years!
I have often thought of state or national online curriculum being standardized for all education from K to PHD.
Why not?
Once the course study has been developed, approved, and accepted, it's done.
Sure it will evolve, but history won't change, and neither will math, English, and many other subjects.
The brick and motor money could be redirected to pay for an individuals modern equipment for hands on work.
Online corporations bidding jobs online with drawings where anyone can bid on-line to manufacture from a 1 off to a large production run.
This would be a transition to a self sustaining society.
You want a GM inline 6 cylinder conversion kit, sure, the plans are offered online, and you hire a person that has the right equipment to build the components and ship them to you.
This would foster coops for production equipment that is pooled together for manufacturing and or assembly.
Violations we now know as scamming would have to be policed and eradicated, which may be the biggest challenge, but rules that make multiple successful outcomes put in place would go a long way.
eBay tried to do this with feedback, but it was implemented incorrectly.
I think most elementary, middle and High school parents are glad their little darlings are out of the house for much of the day.
Traditional bricks and mortar Universities and Colleges have always looked down noses at online learning but have adapted to the Covid induced reality. Some will take this as an opportunity to expand their reach beyond their hallowed walls, but most will retrench back into their comfort zones as soon as possible.....
Its going to be survival of the fittest.....
