Well said!

One of the many reasons I sold the house in town and moved to the farm. We were on a treed 5 acre lot. Bastards would come on the property once a year to make sure I was obeying the rules in the areas they couldn’t see. They confronted me about a bunch of cans with bullet holes hanging in...

I have absolutely no idea what you are saying. My comments are specific to the safety record of US non-military nuclear facilities. Canada and France have the best record. The US is frankly poor. I’m sorry if that offends you.

I specified non-military applications, and my comments were directed specifically at safety records, which I should have clarified.

The US has a terrible track record in nuclear power in non-military applications. Our aversion to regulatory oversight and nuclear power generation are not a good fit. The current push to install nuclear generation in data centers is frankly terrifying. Two nations have managed nuclear power...

Agreed, I have no patience for these whiners. Our son is incredibly succesful, but he has worked diligently to be so. No one in this country with a modicum of intelligence has any excuse. I’ve spent a great deal of time in the third world among the poorest of the poor. Those folks need...

I did a fair bit of business in China. My hotel room and bags were searched every day while I was in meetings. General rule, take nothing of value and keep your notes on your person until you leave the country. Scrub your electronics before and after, send no confidential messages while in...

Excellent idea, everyone should do balance work regardless of age!

Agreed, although I feel 14 is very generous.

Bailey Bradshaw single shot. One of the most elegant rifles I have ever seen.

I’m 65 and have no plans to slow down. I’m recovering from knee replacement surgery and am back on the bike, weights and hiking. There’s no way something like that is keeping me off the mountains.

I’ve posted this pic before. The rifle on the left is my M70 in .458 Lott. The rifle in the middle is my buddy’s CZ in .458 Lott, both custom rigs. I don’t think there is a nickel’s worth of difference between them.

I find Speer hot-cor and swift A-frames in the same weight tend to shoot to the same POI, so yes, I do.

Depending what they hit in a refinery, they could be putting it out of production for 24+ months. I don’t know the right answer, but that is not a decision to be taken lightly. Iran is +2% of global refining capacity. Take that out and double it with retaliatory strikes on ME refineries...
