@freemo , yep. The perfect varmint gun, really. Cheap to buy, cheap for ammo, large enough calibre that you can hunt small game, pretty accurate. I am seriously considering an SU16, by KelTek. I know, they have a bad rep, but that weapon seems to be an exception to the rule.
@freemo I'm going to go with the 556, because I have a small farm. Just a damn useful tool.
@freemo , that's a problem. It's kinda rare that a fox in the henhouse will give you time to find eye protection!
@freemo , agreed. I was wondering if it hurt to fire...
I am not a fan of concealed carry. I think many of those guys are looking for trouble, or at a minimum not avoiding places where trouble will be. I would open carry... my daily carry is an 1858 Remington New Army. I CAN hide it in my kilt... but just carry on my belt.
@fuzzyduck , humble bragging about your yoga abilities??
@freemo , to clarify, if you only had the option to own one....
Just looked up options for the Judge... and I like the Circuit Judge. Damn! I want to see some test firing... But that has to be good out to 200 yards or so.
@freemo , nice. How do you think the Judge compares to a .357 Python?
@freemo , minecraft will ROCK!
@freemo ya, I know. I had 512K of ram on my Amiga, upgraded to 1M! I remember a buddy bragging he had 32M in the mid 90s, and my windows machine had 8M. The cluster I built in 2002 had 512M per node... 40 nodes. Your machine is INSANE. And I love it.
A federal indictment of Trump for inciting an insurrection on Jan 6th should be all but certain after a bipartisan Congressional committee layed out a comprehensive case against him and referred the evidence to the Dept of Justice, but after his investigation Special Counsel Jack Smith will likely refer the final determination back to AG Garland who could choose to hold his decision in abeyance till after 2024, claiming the DOJ doesn't wish to interfere with the election process. Hopefully not.
@YouGiveMeFever , have almost no hope that justice will not be delayed, with the goal to avoid it entirely.
@SueInRockville why is pudding fingers so tall?
@LeaBug private schools have different standards. I don't think they want racist kids, but an education with clear objectives in learning. Schools are subject to mission creep like most organizations, and private schools address this with contracts that they are supposed to adhere to. The parents might have a valid argument here. How can a school test for "diversity" as they test for geometry or spelling?
@maddad the police should not have weapons.
@Skepticat, this is why there is a Second Amendment.
@freemo I used to have an advertisement from about 1982, advertising a 100 meg hd, on sale for $17,000. I had a doctor converting all her patients' records to CD in about 1992, who was so proud to show off her $20K CD burner... it's amazing how much has changed. The MOSFET has to be the most influential invention of the 20th century.
@freemo I remember when 1 meg was a lot. When 100 megs was a huge hard drive...
@Ratman , and doing unspeakable things with my nether regions. But you wish you didn't get a mental picture of THAT!
@CaptAntagonist , I think the PC term is "vegetative state."
Thoughtful and therefore ultimately inconclusive article by @AlgisValiunis in the New Atlantic about why the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan, and about the stories we and historians tell ourselves about that. An intensely morally uncomfortable read, which I mean as praise. https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/why-were-they-dropped
BS in Physics. Will not tolerate hate. I am active here and on Post.
