Love your pets, folks... for real!

Although he was not mine, he was a much favored "Cyber Pet." We received word this morning that "K'eyush the Stunt Dog" a "Huksamute" living in the UK, crossed the rainbow bridge on 02/03/2025. I guess his best pal "Sherpa" couldn't wait any longer and summoned him up there. Now, they can both run free, and banter with each other.

The owner, Jodie, put out this video:

Rest Easy buddy. You and Sherpa can be in Heaven and tear it up!

Can’t testify in court, a known liar.

But she can keep her job because they have a LIST for known pieces of shit .

This is still fall out from those pigs that let an ex girlfriend kick open a door of a house she used to live in and then followed her in and arrested/electro tortured the new occupant of the home .

Entering a home with out a warrant ; allowing someone to break into a home they do t live in , false arrest and false charges filed and tortured a handcuffed man - no longer able to testify in court - but still on the job. Means the entire squad bay is fine working with her and entire command structure could care less that she’s a liar and like to torture people .
I wish some of the “good un’s “ I keep hearing about would make an appearance

What mass casualty distraction event will happen next ?

Trump and doge are really getting more done in a month than anyone figured they would in 4 years.

What distraction event do you think the deep state will pull next. Maybe not a terrorist attack that would lend more support for closing the border. You know they would JFK them if they could.

Supposedly it’s coming out soon that cia did jfk , a few others including the attempt on trump

Residential fire resistance standards

My place is on 5 acres outside city limits and last year my fire insurance went up $500/month. I am in the process of stripping all of the shitty siding off of the mobile home and barn and am looking at adding 1 1/2” Rockwool Comfortboard 80 (rated non combustible by UL) all the way around the outside for several reasons and the non combustible rating is one of them then cladding the whole thing in metal siding (and a metal roof). My question is are there any industry standards on fire resistance that I can go by to get an underwriting memo with my insurance to save some money? I have done a lot of Googling and can’t find a definitive answer

Pressure question…virgin vs fire formed

Quick question on pressure…I’m sure it’s a math problem and my gut tells me the answer is yes, but wanted to ask the masses…

Given identical charge weight, seating depth, bullet, neck tension, etc..all variables the same except virgin vs fire formed brass.

If an initial load was a tad hot for my liking, bolt swipes but no dimpled primers, with virgin brass, will the slight increase in case volume with fire formed brass shoulders bumped back 1 thou or just brought to chamber, will pressure at same charge weight be less?

I’d like to just shoot this load and be done with it, as speed, ES/SD all looked great and it was what I needed for accuracy out to distance. I’d be ok with it if pressure will drop on the 2nd loading, but don’t want to push the rifle this hard if it’s a negligible decrease.

Participants in Social Organizations, I'd like to hear from you.

Howdy Hide,

As per the title- I'd like to ask the members here on their experiences with Social Organizations that they may be a part of. I recognize that in many ways it'll be uniquely dependent on the local organization but figured I'd ask regardless.

Presently I belong to both the American Legion and VFW and have been a member for a decade plus respectively. Great people, great intentions but it seems like (at least for the folks that I join) aside from the occasional fundraiser they hold throughout the year (gift baskets, chicken bbq's, things like of that nature) it's more of a social club that gives one entry to their bars.

Locally, I've seen the Lion's, Rotary, and Kiwanas clubs but their charitable focus isn't one in which I'm particularly passionate about. Since the move, I do have an Elks club local (don't have a sponsor though), but along those lines, I reckon there's the Moose's, Eagles, and other such organizations.

The one that's been catching my attention lately is the Mason's (particularly the shriners, tall oaks, etc) but that's an organization that wouldn't have me as a member either. But they seem to do great work and I'm happy to support their charity efforts. Church groups/religiously oriented organizations, would also be out of scope for me.

That all been said- is there any social/fraternal organizations along the lines I mentioned that Hide members here feel passionate about? Mainly I'd just be looking for an apolitical/nonreligious group that just wants to get together and build friendship and do the occasional (albeit frequent) "good deed" for the local community. Essentially a group of friends that get together regularly and try to make their small world a better place.

It's 2025 now... what's the Hide's thoughts on the current state of coolers and cooler manufacturers?

@LeftyJason pointed out that this had been discussed a number of years ago with the thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/best-cooler.7016533/

Reckon that enough time has elapsed we can revisit the conversation with data/products relevant to 2025 now...

So what say you- who's the king of ice retaining performance, what companies are worth your hard earned money? Do you have a longterm review of any that fits in the conversation? If so- this thread is for you.

Let's hear it.

Executive orders

Reversing the EO's that biden(handlers) put into place is great. Quick and easy. But am I the only one who just doesn't like the idea of EO in general? I mean the CIC isn't a king...plus, the EOs will be easy target for reversal, just as Trump is doing now. This country needs some of this common-sense shit stuff codified into law, wtf is the legislature doing? Both senate/house are "red", yes? Getting weary of EO this and EO that and everyone cheering. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of it was necessary, but....

Aero Precision, going out of business or?

Lots of jabber about them owing the people that do coatings for them. They had Christmas sales and I happened to buy two lowers from them. First they said they didn't have a copy of my FFL guy's license. Then they were being difficult about getting his license, after he had sent it twice again to them. Finally, they acknowledged that they had his license and that I would be receiving shipping notification.

That was two weeks ago. I hit up customer service via the website two days ago, no response. Today I hit up the person that was emailing me about the FFL license. It's not looking good...

Was anybody paying attention?

Trump had a meeting with Netanyahu today- the guy who employed the Clean-Breakers, PNAC'ers, and other collaborating tribesmen to fake the 9/11 tragedy into not-retaliation against the Gulf Terror Kingdoms, but rather a series of campaigns to implement the Yinon Plan... going all the way post-GWOT into (again) ignoring AQ/ ISIS/ Saudi Arabia in Syria and going hard against secular Ba'athist parliamentary democracy in Syria. It just fell 3 months ago.

The topics of this meeting were:

1) Full ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
2) Restart the Abraham Accords, which led directly to October 7th.
3) Please start a war with Iran for us and finish the Yinon Plan for us.

...and so Trump gets in front of the camera like:

1) The people of Gaza can live in other, different countries so that the Zionists can move into their homes.
2) ???
3) I already have a standing order that if Iran kills me, there will be nothing left. We will annihilate them.

LO-F'ing-L!

Dude is surrounded 24/7 by small-hat-wearers and he does and says anything they tell him to... and then he tells the J-Caliph that if he dies and they think it's Iran, the Zionists get an automatic-win courtesy of the USA.

Some Mossad agent inside the J-state is getting an "I <3 the Ayatollah" tattoo and an Imam Ali portrait inked right now. Persian-shade spray tan is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

USSS better just get Trump off the stage the next time J-Kush whips out the phone and starts filming in landscape mode, from stage-right......
