You may be thinking of the time good ole' Uncle Sam poisoned the stuff people drank during prohibition.

There is a bit of a SERIOUS rainbow effect at distance.

Reminds me of Linefinders observation that after a certain distance, some projectiles have the ballistic properties of a Craftsman toolbox.

I can then ask it to make a powerpoint presentation to organize the information to suit a Product Management group. DONE! It save me hours every day. And then the intended audience will have their agent summarize the PowerPoint and give them a synopsis. That saves them hours of watching PowerPoints...

Oh Damn. I live in Arizona and that was funny!

At least the Boogy Man can finally come out from under his bed.

I'm sure Superman will have a moment of silence when he puts on his Chuck Norris pajamas tonight.

Right now I'm trying to burn through a huge stash of old .44 mag reloads that I really just want to empty so I can reload them fresh.

Shooting just to get brass to reload.

I've done that...

I'm trying to figure out if we kicked Iran's butt or if Iran currently controls the straight of hormuz.

I can't see how both could be true?

I hadn't heard about this.
I read the article and I'm still not sure I understand?

Damn, makes me think of Saturday mornings (early 70's) getting on my mini-bike that I bought with my paper route money and riding into the desert outside of Litchfield Park, Az. I would go by Western Auto and get 50 rounds of .22 for under a buck. Mine was a Marlin single shot and I would carefully ...

Bueno.

Nicely done!
Great improvement.

MSNOW reported Sunday evening that “Millions flowed into prediction markets” before the first Iran strikes.

Over $500 million. Like 71 minutes before the bombs started falling.

I can't believe I used to go camping to find deer.
From my back window looking at my back yard.
Oh yeah, Highway 89 in the background.

People who make bank vaults could take lessons from the smiths that crafted that.

"a time for reckless indulgence".

AKA my teens and 20's.

I'm 64 and my idea of reckless indulgence is staying up after 10.

Amazon.
Fake Keurig pods. $.50 each.
The Bailey's Irish Cream adds a little.

In the reviews, some people say they put smaller ones in their tool box.

They're popular at Brownells.

I ran across these. Going to put one in the gun safe.

I can't tie a knot so I tie a lot. . .

Have you tried pushing forward on the trigger?
I bought a Timney single set trigger for my 98 and I can feel it click when I push it forward and it changes the trigger on mine from (my estimation) from about 4 lbs to about 1.5 lbs.

As for the name of the rifle, I'm going with what Teach said on a previous version of the forum:

There was a guy named John Garand (rhymes with errand) who designed a rifle known as the M1 Garand (rhymes with gu-rand).

I know about both facts, so I'm good.

I can only imagine what Linefinder would have to add to this.

As I recall, he had some stories about injection molding. . .
