For many Americans, the summer of 2022 has been a blistering hot and humid miserable existence. It’s just one of those years when one truly appreciates the comfort provided by something as simple as an air conditioning unit. How did we live without them?

But for some 22,000 Xcel Energy customers in Colorado who wanted to be a little more comfortable on Tuesday when the thermometer was pegged at 90+ degrees, a bizarre message flashed on their thermostats indicating they’d lost the ability to control the temperature in their own homes.

According to KMGH-TV, “Energy Emergency” was part of the message that flashed on thermostats as temperatures skyrocketed and Xcel customers desperately tried to crank the A/C.

“Temperature locked temporarily during energy emergency. Due to a rare energy emergency that may affect the local energy grid, your temperature slider has been changed from 8:00 pm – 8:00 pm because you enrolled in a Community Energy Savings Program...


Wouldn't be a bit surprised that there will be a small surcharge for the lockout.

Is this something we need to be concerned with?

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using lock-ease after cleaning my 6.5 CM Criterion barrel. At the time it had about 1200 rounds fired through it. It was shooting a consistent 5 shot .5 MOA. I went to the range and the first few groups were good. After about 15 rounds the groups went haywire. I had no clue why. I went home and ran a borescope and it showed there was a lot of copper in the barrel. So I cleaned the barrel again and got most of the copper out. I went to the range again and same thing happened. Barrel shot well until about 15 rounds and then the groups went to hell. Borescoped it again and it was filled with copper.
Don't have a clue what to do next. New barrel I guess. Unless somebody can give me a few pointers.

Just got my stock back from @jducos aka the stock doc. I am really impressed he did a great job converting my McMillan game scout to an adjustable comb. He even took the time to not only cut out a notch for bolt throw on the front of the comb, he touched it with paint that matches my camo.

Disregard all the chipping and scraping on the stock. That was all there before. This stock has been all over with me, now I can finally get rid of my stock pack and still maintain my cheek weld.

I would trust him with any of my stocks.

Thanks Joe!

I created this thread for people to post their DIY success stories.

Not sure if this a general trend in Biden's America or my bad fortune, but a couple examples just from this year:

1. Plumber responds to my aerobic septic system, screws up the power wiring, and I install a new pump and adjust the height of the floats myself. Watched some YouTube videos.

2. Verizon installer doesn't realize the power box is not wired to the wall panel. I rewired it myself with a few cheap parts from Home Depot.

A last-of-its-kind battleship that fought in both world ... - Flipboard​

36 minutes ago — A last-of-its-kind battleship that fought in both world wars is on the move for the first time in over 30 years for repairs.

So watching her play some 3rd wold combloc chick (who’s ok looking; like a Texas 8, CA 5)

First off, Williams is one ugly bitch, like not eye candy remotely which takes much of the point out of watching woman’s sports, especially compared to the little blonde she’s playing

Two, she’s just now tied, this blonde chick is from a shitty combloc country, Williams is super rich fully, sponsored in the richest country on earth

I just don’t get the hype with Williams

As typical for 2022 I saw a meme the other day that made me realize I needed a revolver. I have a Ruger Single Six that I enjoy shooting. It's a good small game pistol and I take it to the deer stand with me while bowhunting with the 22 WMR cylinder for coyotes. I want a centerfire revolver.

Main use case is shooting for fun. It's unlikely that it's something I would carry concealed on a daily basis. It is very likely that I would toss it in rotation for carrying in my Hill People Gear kit bag though. It's also likely that I would want to try using it to whack a few whitetail doe here in Nebraska. Could potentially be carried in bear country (Wyo, MT, Alaska) when I go camping or hunting, but likely I would carry a double stack 10mm like a G20/G40 or Sig P320 XTEN.

I've been looking at the S&W 610 4" (10mm) since I already have 10mm ammo and since it can shoot .40
I also stumbled across the S&W 350 (350 Legend) which seems like something I may like owning, but its a little big for what I want right now I think.

What do our resident revolver experts recommend? Open to other brands/calibers, the S&W 610 is just where my initial research has taken me.

Story is BS, but pic is legit.

Over a fence no less.

Escaped bull creates crowd panic during Florida rodeo​

https://amp.miamiherald.com › florida › article265068219



23 hours ago — A rodeo bull created panic Aug. 27 at Florida's state fairgrounds in Tampa when it escaped its pen during the Gus Trent Rodeo, video shows.

View bodycam footage - fast forward to the 2:00min mark.

back story is a 2a.m. raid to get a domestic abuser with outstanding warrants.

Thoughts?

Isn't he supposed to be on OUR side?

Defend US as citizens?

Trump ain't listening.

He's tired of conservatives being the catcher and not the pitcher, like the GOP being quiet and civil has worked so well for them. His memes are so mean, it caused the Insider to write a slanted article to try and counter the truth. And who are his concerned 'allies', Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence?

Go 'Orange man bad.'
