One of my patrols in Boy Scouts was the Beavers.  

Is @mah827 officially volunteering as the troop scribe?

I'm closest to the Denton Buc-ee's, then the Speedway.  Melissa is a more of a hike but at least on the right side of the metroplex.

It appears that I am. Anyone interested can send me contact info. I’m not going to distribute it unless we can somehow vet everyone.

Would y’all be interested in Keybase instead? I have an account and a member of multiple Teams that design, improve designs, and post pics of builds.

If so, I could set up a Team for Texas and different channels under it for different topics/areas based off your recommendations.

Perks include:

1) Encryption. Although it’s impossible to be fully secure. It’s a least a little more secure.

2) You can create a Team for everyone here. Then channels that fall under it from hangouts, bullshitting, SHTF announcement, etc.

3) Can set messages to explode after a set amount of time.

Keybase, Discord, whatever... we need places to go and backups to those. Discord is not our friend.

HAM freqs would be good too.

This sucks but in the long term may end up being a good thing.  With apple, google and Amazon doing this all at one time it’s going to be hard for them not to be found guilty of anti trust and collusion.  They allow groups to use their systems that advocate for violence against conservatives so they can’t really claim this is why they are trying to destroy a competitor.
Liberals always push it to far and force the courts to punish them in the end.

Found guilty by who? The same courts that refused to look at the voter fraud evidence?

Good luck...

Doesn’t work that way with this type of law Unless their is a total collapse of our republic.  At that point it won’t matter as it will be mad max time.   You also have to remember there are several other countries where lawsuits can be started for this type of stuff not just in the US depending on where business is being done.  Even Germany is saying big tech is going to far.

I created a Keybase for TX gun owners. I recommend Keybase over Discord and Signal. Discord isn’t secure and you don’t have to give your phone number for Keybase like Signal.

Not sure if it’ll gain traction but worth a shot.

Fudd's and Luby's were in trouble before COVID. that was just the last straw that finished them off.  They had been up for sale for a while, but no buyers were interested enough.  The company just decided to pull the plug on it and liquidate the assets and return the money to the shareholders sooner than later.

I doubt you will ever see any court come up with a ruling that favors the right. The bullying left has scared them to shitless. Courts right now are scared of being packed and losing their power, they will not do anything to cross Dems. The country you lived in in 2020 is gone and not coming back.

I guess since I am a Amazon prime member till September when it runs out I will implement a one-at-a-time-policy. Order one item at a time. When the first item ships I will order the second and so on. It will cost them more, maybe inconsequential because I am only one, but if enough do the same thing who knows.

For those that haven't seen it - https://inteltechniques.com/messaging.html   (more green = more better, but assess your needs)  Signal is easy, but I don't believe supports group chat and is only as secure as your phone is/computer is.  Wire looks like an interesting option that doesn't require payment or a phone #. Threema is supposed to be good, but they require payment.  Not sure if anonymous payment options are readily available without doing extra work.  I'm in the crowd that prefers to keep my mobile devices as clean as possible because I see them as a higher risk to confidentiality due to loss or exploitation.

I've only met a few folks here in the past, Battle Road, WTF, and an Arfcom NV event in Rockwall a few years back are the most likley places... Maybe we've crossed paths at a local range.

I'm closer to the Royce City Buc-ees but I roam to the north side occasionally.

Looks like ProtonMail and Wire are the most secure options.  They may not give you much protection from the NSA or “Magic Lantern”, but at least the corporate censors won't be able to f*ck with you.

there is no free tier with Wire unfortunately

Both proton and tutanota are great encrypted email services that have free tiers

I've had good success with keybase as an group communication and organization tool but it was recently purchased by zoom which I think is owned in part by the prc

it is encrypted, has good functionality, and would be effective

@CMOS is still around, but he's not in the D/FW area.
