Already a post about it. Don't do this again.

In the Hello Darkness thread:


Talk started on cover songs, figured a good topic. There are quite a few well known covers, Johnny Cash Hurt I think being very famous. I figured I would start things off with a few that are not as well known.


The first is the cover, the second the original. I picked this original as the video that goes with it goes with the song. It is age restricted, so you might need to do some hoops to watch it.

EDIT TO ADD, The video is very "adult", not porn or anything just war....dirty nasty war.


I think the cover knocks it out of the park, gives me goose bumps. The original, is good but not as good as this cover. Same deal if the link is "broken" remove the dots.

Second it very famous, and again I think she knocks it out of the park. There are two versions of this out there, one with a "real" backing track, the one I linked and another one just her and a guitar. The thing that blows me away on this is this girl is still in spots. I think with her voice she could go somewhere.

Disclaimer. I remain on ”Fakebook”. Why, because our family is far flung, I have extended family members in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, the UP of Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Central Florida and of course, our son lives in Western Florida. Plus, it makes it easy to keep up with all that is important on Caney Creek Lake.

The other day, I saw a little piece that supposedly quoted Socrates about gossip. So, I shared it. The short allegorical story asked the person reporting something about another person to put it to three tests before relaying it.

Those tests
Is it TRUE
Is it KINDNESS
Does it provide UTILITY

Facebook called it down as false information

I guess they are saying its AOK to maliciously attack another all for fun and profit but to be kind and truthful is false and wrong

GOD Why am I here?

Let's see how well this ages.

The inhabitants of the Silo are under the impression that they are in a post war safe haven. They live there after 'the rebellion' was defeated, and in the process, Earth was basically made un-livable due to said conflict. Initially the storyline wants you to focus on other things...but...I'm calling it now:

- Silo is actually a self sustaining 'prison' colony
- Conflict / earth all fucked up is bullshit and a total lie
- Earth is habitable
- Silo inhabitants are actually the losers of the conflict
- Winners are topside - OR - even more diabolical, the Silo is 1 of 1000s and its a way for the rich to basically make all of the consumers/poors live in a giant hole in the ground and not have to deal with them

I've got the bug to build a big blaster, say 300NM. I really want to do it on an ARC CDG but the lead times worry me since I will need a LA, LH, with a LM BF. I'm watching the CDG thread and talking to ARC from time to time but all I hear is ~4 months. That's pretty great these days if that's really what it is. Has anyone seen anything besides the RHSAs in the wild? If I know they're actually shipping, and the lead is really 4 months (or even +6 months), it's game on

Like new MDT Send It Level with Brandt Built Ocular Housing and 90* Mount for sale. Will probably need to order more Fiber from Brandt Built but they're pretty cheap.

Super cool product its just distracting to me on the clock in a match.

I have the original box, accessories, and paperwork as well.

SOLD

Hey guys, got a odd question. So my wife is active duty military. In the military you can keep your state of residence (aka the state you join in). So I am a Florida state resident (with a Florida driver's license and vehicle plates) but living in North Carolina. So my Florida driver's license has a NC address. How can I buy an NFA item? Every place I talk to says no, and even the silencer shop is stumped. There has to be someone who has had this issue.

Thanks
Jeff

Pardon if this has been asked before but my searches are bringing up nothing of real use.
So I've decided I want to add a good .223 bolt action rifle to my collection. the rifle will be used for target shooting from 100-300 yds from a bench/prone.. Occasionally to 500. My criteria is: heavy barrel profile (22-26") with a 7 or 8 twist, AICS mag compatibility and a decently built and ergonomic stock/chassis ( which will likely eventually get replaced. Finish in SS would be a plus but it's not a deal breaker. Some aftermarket support for customizing would be nice too. Budget is in the $1K-$2K range.
Right now, I'm leaning towards the Tikka T3X Varmint (or super varmint if I can nail down the differences.)
What else should I be looking at? Open to all suggestions that fit the criteria.

Mayor Adams of NYC says the next step is to house migrants in houses of worship and then private residences. Isnt Gracie Mansion big?

Lately I've been having these terrible feelings of isolation. First of all at work, you can't talk shit about guns. TYpical workplace, sometime back one of our workers talked about how should couldn't even talk to 'those people' (Down in Mississippi) and she wasn't refering to the Amish. I've fought that battle before and lost hard, so I just kept in the closet.

While most of the family is sympathetic to firearms, none of them 'dig it' like I do. Somtimes my wife will go shoot, but maybe 1-2 times a year. Everyone else just pays lips service. Meanwhile I'm trolling Brownells late at night like a crack-head or scrolling through the reloading forum or any other source of info.

Add in that what I do is very specialized, and almost no one wants to hear about it or go "Wow that's hard" and its like walking around in a bubble where you can see and hear everyone but no one can see or hear you. Wife babbles endlessly about teaching and I'm like uhh yeah I did a thing that's a world first and get a "thats nice honey"

Plus the double whammy of being new to an area so I haven't broken into the shooting community, clubs are multiyear waits (Learned my lesson, already waitlisted) and even public ranges are few and far between. Its sad I have contemplated heading out to Sureshot in IA, and rent the range for a day just to have some range time on a decent range away from the Hunters/FUDDS/ROs. I think the local reloading shop thinks I'm a stalker cause I end up spending an hour at checkout shooting the shit. I even considered doing a(nother) class just to hang out with other shooters.

Forgot: Doing a pre-surgery class and it was all women. That was a nice punch to the balls.

Don't know where I am going, just wondering if any other people are feeling super isolated due to the current climate/work/family/etc... The world has left me by and I think I was born about 50 years too late.

As they lied to Congress and then basically told them to ESAD.

Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Oversight Chair Comer he would turn over subpoenaed documents Monday, today, that showed FJB took a $5M bribe from a foreign source when he was VP with the Obama administration.

Today, Wray then refused to hand over the document to Congress as agreed upon and instead said he would allow certain members of Congress to view the documents at an FBI facility behind closed doors. Thats not turning the documents over.

Comer to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress. FBI says 'Fuck you, we president dictator now.'


Enough of this sharade. If anyone questions whether the stolen election didn't result in a criminal regime taking over the government, compeletly impervious to the laws of the country, here's your answer.

Never heard this story before. What a friend.


Heartwarming story - especially for Simon and Garfunkel lovers like me . . . . . “Hello darkness, my old friend…” Everybody knows the iconic Simon & Garfunkel song, but do you know the amazing story behind the first line of The Sounds of Silence?
It began 62 years ago, when Arthur “Art” Garfunkel, a Jewish kid from Queens, enrolled in Columbia University. During freshman orientation, Art met a student from Buffalo named Sandy Greenberg, and they immediately bonded over their shared passion for literature and music. Art and Sandy became roommates and best friends. With the idealism of youth, they promised to be there for each other no matter what.
Soon after starting college, Sandy was struck by tragedy. His vision became blurry and although doctors diagnosed it as temporary conjunctivitis, the problem grew worse. Finally after seeing a specialist, Sandy received the devastating news that severe glaucoma was destroying his optic nerves. The young man with such a bright future would soon be completely blind.
Sandy was devastated and fell into a deep depression. He gave up his dream of becoming a lawyer and moved back to Buffalo, where he worried about being a burden to his financially-struggling family. Consumed with shame and fear, Sandy cut off contact with his old friends, refusing to answer letters or return phone calls.
Then suddenly, to Sandy’s shock, his buddy Art showed up at the front door. He was not going to allow his best friend to give up on life, so he bought a ticket and flew up to Buffalo unannounced. Art convinced Sandy to give college another go, and promised that he would be right by his side to make sure he didn’t fall - literally or figuratively.
Art kept his promise, faithfully escorting Sandy around campus and effectively serving as his eyes. It was important to Art that even though Sandy had been plunged into a world of darkness, he should never feel alone. Art actually started calling himself “Darkness” to demonstrate his empathy with his friend. He’d say things like, “Darkness is going to read to you now.” Art organized his life around helping Sandy.
One day, Art was guiding Sandy through crowded Grand Central Station when he suddenly said he had to go and left his friend alone and petrified. Sandy stumbled, bumped into people, and fell, cutting a gash in his shin. After a couple of hellish hours, Sandy finally got on the right subway train. After exiting the station at 116th street, Sandy bumped into someone who quickly apologized - and Sandy immediately recognized Art’s voice! Turned out his trusty friend had followed him the whole way home, making sure he was safe and giving him the priceless gift of independence. Sandy later said, “That moment was the spark that caused me to live a completely different life, without fear, without doubt. For that I am tremendously grateful to my friend.”
Sandy graduated from Columbia and then earned graduate degrees at Harvard and Oxford. He married his high school sweetheart and became an extremely successful entrepreneur and philanthropist.
While at Oxford, Sandy got a call from Art. This time Art was the one who needed help. He’d formed a folk rock duo with his high school pal Paul Simon, and they desperately needed $400 to record their first album. Sandy and his wife Sue had literally $404 in their bank account, but without hesitation Sandy gave his old friend what he needed.
Art and Paul's first album was not a success, but one of the songs, The Sounds of Silence, became a #1 hit a year later. The opening line echoed the way Sandy always greeted Art. Simon & Garfunkel went on to become one of the most beloved musical acts in history.
The two Columbia graduates, each of whom has added so much to the world in his own way, are still best friends. Art Garfunkel said that when he became friends with Sandy, “my real life emerged. I became a better guy in my own eyes, and began to see who I was - somebody who gives to a friend.” Sandy describes himself as “the luckiest man in the world.”
Adapted from Sandy Greenberg’s memoir: “Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man’s Blindness into an Extraordinary Vision for Life."

Thread title is meant to sound pretentious.

What's up with the secondary market for expensive watches? It seems like half of the watches I've come across have a reference to "inaccurate timekeeping- service required" in the description. I'm looking in the $3500 to $7k range used.

My timex has never skipped a beat and never leaves my wrist. Is the whole luxury watch market a giant scam like designer sunglasses? My wife wants to get me a nice watch and I'm not feeling good about what I'm seeing. I mean... what kind of asshole pays $5k+ for a stainless bracelet that looks like it keeps time, but really doesn't?

Human trafficking, drugs cartels and an out of control violent crime rate and this guy still has the balls and presence of mind to stop this obvious criminal/terrorist threat ! Uncommon valor , I mean half these kids are probably white nationalists why else would they want to sing the national anthem?
Little disappointed that they break any heads and then film themselves celebrating afterwards but I guess ya can’t have everything. Hope they cross reference all the names of this so called “choir “ to make sure none of them were involved in Jan 6th.

My new ZCO527 in MOA is mounted on my 375CT ELR rig which has a Picatinny rail of 55 MOA. The scope sits in a Sphur mount with 0 MOA.
Straight out of the box the elevation turret will go up from 0 (it is set at 0) to 117 MOA as per spec that being the max elevation on the scope. I shot the rifle at 100m with this setup expecting the point of impact to be sensibly higher than my point of aim but the shot was 10 moa below my point of aim .
Basically, this means that to zero my scope at 100 m I have to lose 10 moa on the turret and cancel out the 55MOA on the rail. How can I avoid losing all this elevation can I remove the turret and wind down the ZERO stop and reattach the turret as one does with NightForce and use the zero offset measurement as input in my ballistic calculator (my zero would then be at 800m for example)? I don't think this is possible as the scope elevation turret is already maxed out at 117MOA. Is this possible? is this scope unsuitable for ELR disciplines where one requires max elevation on the turret?

Apparently no one is registering their AR pistols and similar. I am shocked at this lack of law and order. You people should be ashamed.
