So My question is How will this effect defense stocks like Lockheed Martin and others ..

One way to look at it is Business is good for defense companies they will be working overtime to produce these weapons. Their sales aka Gross profit would he high

===

On the other hand if the have to work overtime and spend more money to ( tooling and staffing) would it not be added expense and effect their net profit.

How do you analyze and come to a conclusion that this will be good or bad for us - ( stock owners )

My father was killed by a hit and run driver on July 5 following July 4 festivities around 5:21 AM on 1800 W. 35th St. My family is requesting anyone that sees any blue Honda Civic with significant chunks missing from the front passenger side, please inform APD with the license plate number. This is still an active investigation. Press release: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/apd-identifies-bicyclist-killed-in-hit-and-run-in-central-austin-on-sunday

My family is incredibly saddened by the sudden and violent passing of my father. We really appreciate all the positive stories people have been sharing because my father was very reserved and we had no idea how much impact he made on others. It is difficult to accept my father's passing, but we are taking it day by day as a family. I am grateful for the neighbors and community that are showing up and meeting for the first time. Your kindness has made an enormous impact to our hope that we can continue in this life and live strongly in honor of my father.

Edit: thank you all for the boosts! I don’t know what exactly that means as I’m usually a lurker. I’ve had to pleasure to meet neighbors and strangers purely out of wanting to help us and now I get to meet redditors that want nothing but to help us which really warms our hearts. It is just unfortunate I am meeting you all under these circumstances. You guys prove that reddit is indeed a wholesome community that looks out for one another

Edit regarding flock cameras: I understand the people asking for flock cameras are just as angry as I am about the injustice of the situation. By the end of the day, crimes like this should not be happening in 2026. Other countries have demonstrated a huge reduction in unsolved crimes with the implementation of mass surveillance. However, in the United States, this is not the case. Even law abiding civilians have legitimate reasons to distrust the government and reasons to suspect conflict of interest with the current implementations of mass surveillance by late stage capitalist corporations. In addition, my father was super reserved and kept to himself. I have a hard time believing he would have voted for flock cameras or wanted his death to be turned into mass surveillance propaganda. China has implemented mass surveillance with sophisticated face recognition interrogations yet still has an egregious amount of unsolved kidnappings. So claiming the benefits of flock cameras for the speedy closing of this case is purely speculation.

As it stands and with the information commented below, there were not a lot of flock cameras in the area to be helpful. Local business owners that had their own security cameras have been enthusiastic to help us and the police, which warms my heart. At this time, we do not see a need to hire a lawyer to subpoena any local businesses for their security footage.

I request that there be no further mentions of flock what-ifs. I understand that the pro flock voices are just as upset on the same issue we all want to solve. However it does detract from the memory of my father and changes nothing since there were almost no flock cameras in the area.

I made some copycat Texas roadhouse rolls in the shape of sharks lol. They turned out perfectly!!

EDIT: Here's the recipe i used. Its for high altitude though so please adjust accordingly.

1 cup warm whole milk or water, about 105-110F 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast 3 tbsp sugar 1 tsp fine salt 1 large egg 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For finishing: 1 to 2 tbsp melted butter

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until slightly foamy.

If using instant yeast, you can mix it straight in without waiting, but a short rest is still fine.

Add the salt, egg, melted butter, and 3 1/4 cups flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead for 8-10 minutes by hand, or 5-7 minutes in a mixer, until smooth and slightly tacky. At this altitude, resist adding too much extra flour too fast. Add only enough so the dough is soft and manageable.

First rise, put the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until about 1 1/2 times its original size, not necessarily doubled. About 35-50 minutes (I go by looks not time)

At this point you'd separate the dough and shape it into squares or whatever but I rolled mine out on a lightly floured surface and then I used a cookie cutter.

Second rise Cover and let rise until puffy and touching slightly, about 20-35 minutes.

Bake Bake at 375F for 14-18 minutes, until golden brown on top. Finish Brush with melted butter right after baking.

I usually drive slow so I usually keep it under 40 with a avg speed of 35... and I manage 23-24 MPG on Octane 93..

I feel it has soo much torque at such a low rpm that at 1200-rpm that I'm coasting around is the reason why I get this good of a mileage. Also the vehicle shifts in 6th gear at 1200rpm and 35.

I have consistently been able to get a avg of 17.6 MPG in city driving simply by driving it gently and keeping my speed around 35 to 45 Mph in the city.

I also keep my tires 3 psi _above_ the manufacturers recommended psi of 32.
