And to think our ancestors took them on with a sharpened stick.

I read today that China will retaliate against latest round of tariffs by putting bad fortunes in the cookies!

It’s fun to read the beginning of this thread. The dumpster fire it’s become all started with tariffs.

True. Should have let it crash in 2008. We’d have been past it now. W. was more concerned about WMD’s and sharing candy with Michelle Obama though.

I like ease of TT for the loading of pics. I’ll be on here less without it. I understand they are a pain to deal with. Thanks for trying though.

I got a Benelli Montefeltro 20ga for my son when he was 12 or so. It came with a short stock. When he grew we found an adult stock. It has some shims to adjust cast off/on. I think it kicked pretty damned hard even with low base target loads. It’s been super reliable. It weighs nothing. I’d...

Me too. I saw a sign in the post office hahaha.

Same here.

Hope you all have your protest signs made up for the Hands Off 2025 march on Saturday.

Ford to offer employee pricing for everyone until June 2. How will that affect that profit margin, reckon? https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/ford-motor-company-offer-employee-pricing-all-u-s-shoppers-handshake-deal-every-american.amp

In case this one hasn’t made it around yet:

Yes, but probably not to your level of success and experience. 5 generations worth and no bankruptcy yet however. Like the saying goes, I can run anyone’s business but mine. When times get tough we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Thanks for the numbers. We’ve had years when 3% would be...

New cars are way too expensive, interest rates are high, and there’s a glut of them sitting. The manufacturers are going to have to stop charging home prices for a new truck and absorb any tariff on imported components if they want to sell them.

Not too much. Somebody better snap this up.

What is your experience with a 45/70?

They can’t even build a car over there that makes sense. No way they are building modern fighter aircraft.

He has “retired leo” listed on his profile. Maybe he’s talking Zodiac sign not occupation. Hahaha.

I’ve heard that’s an interesting read.

Maybe when the cameras turn off and the lights go out, everybody is content to let those 2 kill each other? Neither are anyone’s friend really.

If you would have collared him you’d have been happy to see him walk?

Maybe he should do an episode on how to illegally poison wolves.

WTF is wrong with these people. Lack of basic education? I have been heavily involved in public schools over the last 28 years but I am staring to thing that cutting the DOE is the right thing if this is the result. Damn...

Quite the education system we have here.

Still have the Vx2

All you have to do is pull a 35 Whelen loaded with a 250gr Hotcore out of your pocket and any animal in sight will just lay down. No need to look further. Just ask Bob Nelson 35Whelen.

Flat base bullets are generally easier to make shoot at shorter ranges. The BT really isn’t a boost until you’re out there quite a ways.

I don’t know if it’s true, because we all know a guy. The one I know was an attorney at the FBI, young, maybe fresh out of law school. Tasked with redacting information related to the JFK files claimed that he and others spent 12hrs a day in a windowless room with black markers. After hour 8 or...

220gr RN Sierra Pro Hunter on top of a 300 H&H case is the best looking cartridge ever to have graced the earth with its presence, 180gr Nosler Partition a close second.

I sincerely hope this is correct. I have 3) Tier 4 diesel emissions units in my fleet. They are a constant headache. I try to keep them under warranty (warranty being a bit of a misnomer because it covers parts and labor to change parts, not the expensive charter flight or diagnostic labor). One...

I have a son coming up on 18. I worry about him finding a suitable mate especially in a small town where the available women his age are basically like his siblings. He’s a real good looking kid and has the give a shit attitude that they love. I hope he makes decent choices. There are so few...

Somebody a couple weeks ago questioned why occupying the Ukrainian port is a must have for Russia since they have their own right next door. This is a brief explanation of the strategy: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/17/world/video/black-sea-importance-putin-strategy-digvid

Solid seller

Solid seller.

Pull it out of the glove box and can’t see through it due to internal fog. 3X same one.

To close this out for my experience, I contacted Doug Paymer at CLNY where the bino was purchased and he dealt directly with his manufacturer’s rep. I received an email today that a proof of purchase has been sourced and Leica CS will now repair my bino. [emoji1] They could have saved...

Even better than Cliff Notes, one sentence. The professional education programs taught at major colleges in the US turn out NEA members, not teachers. (Thank you and your red pen Ms. Hansen)

We have a community of intellectuals where I live. All of them Liberals. I am friends with some. One, who has a PhD, highly intelligent and very liberal, told me PhD stands for “piled higher and deeper”. [emoji1]

That’s too bad. I’ve never had a bad encounter with the Canadians. Guess the Alaska drivers license buys a little respect. [emoji6]

That chip thing is ‘uge if it can be pulled off. I have a friend based in Austin that gets paid a lot of money to travel around the world and give talks/consult in semiconductors. She is skeptical due to the lack of very skilled labor that’s required. Maybe the folks can get a visa to move here...

Filson is based in Seattle. Any questions?[emoji1]

Carburetors, points, condensers, mechanical diesel fuel injection, manual transmissions, Yamaha 2 stoke outboards, analog cell phones, and cheap AVGAS. GET OFF MY LAWN[emoji1]

As we are a nation of consumers, everyone wants our business. Others are gonna make noise for a bit but when the stockholders/owners start raising Hell because the tariffs are hitting their pocket books, in a month or two Trump will get his way. He was meeting with US corp executives, CEO and...

There is a clip out there of Stephen A Smith on the View. I’d agree with him, it’s a mandate. Here it is:

A good climate change argument could be stimulating and a nice change from European politics. We can draw Trump policy bashing in easily enough on this subject as well.

Why do the lefty Winchesters need heat treat?

My Polish neighbor tells me that in Poland, the country he fled from, now has amazing infrastructure. There wasn’t much before the forming and joining of the EU so it wasn’t as much about fixing the old stuff as it was building new. So the highways and bridges are new, built with modern...

I’m in Alaska. Our Afrikaans wears shorts every day year around haha.

We have one on our little town. A local girl was over there on a church related mission and they met up. He’s a resident now I believe. Been here 6-8 years. Funny as Hell.

The bigger question is why they were getting $400M when they are sitting on a $15B endowment.
