Ahh… Public invited to swear their allegiance as king is crowned?

Originating from across the pond - candidate for dumbest shit in 2023 thus far…


“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to your majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God” - WTF…

Brits eating too much fish and chips with mercury in it? Pounding too much ale laced with “stupid”?

WTF?

Ayn Rand.

Lets see how this goes.

I think a little personal background on how I came to read her is in order, and will explain the thread a bit.

I had see memes with her quotes here and there over the years, spent the 10sec to read them and thought, yup. Then I joined here a bit ago. Originally wanted to do the long range thing, but a standby generator took that money and now I am thinking I am really too old for any real game. At one time I did quite a few games, but I just can't move like I once did, I tried bowling pins but that was just a bore, so now just shoot out back, and the odd starling here and there. So I have come to skim new posts and really hang out in the pit.

Down there more then a few threads had memes with her quotes and such.....ok darn it I will just read her. What to read, well "the" book is Atlas Shrugged.....good night that is a big'en. But I did it, sometimes it could have moved faster, other times I re read a section 3-4 times, it was that interesting.

If you count books finished this year I have read:

Atlas Shrugged
The virtue of selfishness
Anthem
Philosophy who needs it

All of those Rand. I did also read it was a gift after someone found out I was on this kick.

Amusing Ourselves to death.

I have found I enjoy talking about her views on about everything. I think I might find some here that might enjoy it as well. Perhaps this thread will make someone do what I did, pick up one of her books. I knew nothing of her book, no plot no underlying anything, nothing about Atlas. I was blind going in, and that might have been a good thing, zero clue what it was about.

Just hit Chap 18 on Philosophy one thing said in that book, a book that is speeches and papers written by here mainly in the 70's.

There is something that is interesting in that book that I just read this morning.

Words to the effect:

People sense something has gone wrong, they don't know what. This is the price they pay for being the silent and deaf majority. Americans are anti-intellectual, and with the current examples no wonder why. The do however place great value on education and that is now being shaken.

This was written IIRC in 1972. I would love to know what she would say about the world today.

There is another part in this book where a person wrights her a letter asking just what can one man do?

She says talk, don't preach just talk. Even if that is saying I don't agree. There is value in talking there is no value in keeping quiet. If you are silent you agree.

Perhaps that is what I am doing in todays digital world, talking. The folk I hang out with work and home generally have the same mindset as I. There are a few lefties around, yes even in a cop shop, and we have our little discussions back and forth. However they are not as much fun anymore, he is starting to see the light, just like most lefties that can actually think.

Lets see how this goes.

Any recommendations for a top notch AR platform gunsmith?

In the past, I’ve done all of my own builds but I recently moved to a new city for work and I no longer have a garage with a proper workspace and tools.

I’m looking to get an upper assembled by a really good smith who specializes in precision AR builds. I’m looking for the works, stuff like truing the receiver face, bedding the barrel into the upper with shim stock, properly adjusting the gas tube for proper carrier fit, polishing feed ramps, checking the barrel for quality, gauging the BCG.

I went all out with this build with a Bartlein 223 Wylde barrel from Craddock so I want to squeeze every bit of accuracy I can out of it.

Any recommendations for gunsmiths who would do this build justice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are ablee please help this family out, if not could you please post this where ever you can.

Feedback Scammer Alert! Username Stoogey

Just a heads up. Stoogey is contacting people asking if they are still interested in something they inquired about. I asked a real user a question about a scope and Stoogey contacted me to ask if was still interested and that he had one for sale. He is obviously a scammer. Here are some screenshots. I have reported him.

Does anyone here do dirt work?

I am wondering if anyone here does dirt work for a living?

The reason is we have a pond that keeps on leaking a lot and I am trying to figure out where to start my research.

The pond is about 40 years old and the side that is leaking is the downhill side. Just beyond that about 50 feet is a tree line. The soil is primarily clay, but in spots there is some sandy soil.

Initially I thought tree roots had grown in and were the primary cause of the leak. Well, I went through with machinery and cleared out most (95%+) of the roots. I have been messing with it for over a month already.

Today it was still leaking quite a lot so I used a front end loader and dug a trench about 2-3 feet deep along most of that side of the pond, maybe 75-100 feet long. Where the slope of the pond wall starts to level out is where I dug my ditch. I intentionally tried to make the wall of said ditch on the pond side as vertical as possible so I could try and see what was going on. There were no roots, but there are spots along that vertical wall (on the pond side) that are just flowing water. Within just a few minutes the ditch was partially full of water and you can see where the water is flowing from.

I'm not quite sure what the next step is supposed to be hence I am throwing this out there for experienced people to help steer me.

An interesting read with interesting implications if the second bullet point is true


Who else could they be monitoring do you suppose? And does the firm do more than monitor?

USPS - Delays in Shipping Times

Looks like USPS is having "Issues" with personnel - Hiring, Training & Retention due to working conditions, etc.
I have some parts for my Jeep that stalled in Oklahoma City for the past several days and I'm not sure if they are lost or just "Stuck".
Thankfully, it's not critical parts so my XJ is drivable.
Just a heads up to be more selective in your shipping choices for items that are time critical.
Just remember, Fedex will take your money, but they don't believe that you should own an AR-15 or High Capacity Magazines : https://newsroom.fedex.com/newsroom...-national-rifle-association-gun-safety-policy

Good situational awareness saved cops life.

This Popo be dancin', he saw it coming way out and reacted.

Trying to decide on a couple of prefit barrels...

I've got an Origin incoming and I'd like to pick up barrels for a couple different cartridges. The 3 options I'm considering are basically the same price.

PVA Rock Creek prefits on sale
Proof prefits on EV
Criterion on NSS

I don't necessarily want the Proof competition profile, so that's my #3 choice. I like the idea of the Criterion shouldered barrels vs the nut, but not a huge deal. Is there any substantial reason to choose one over the others?

If you are looking for pristine parts with no surface blemishes, these LMT parts might not be for you. Not interested in any trades. Funds can be sent via discreet Paypal (F&F or and 3% for payment). Any questions, just ask. I have sold many high end rifles and scopes on this sight, see my feedback. It might take me a few days before I am able to ship once I receive payment.
