Here in North Carolina, our service members handle their business. I'd recommend talking to the "contractor" that was trespassing on a service members property. That's not possible, as he is no longer in a position to comment or trespass.

Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

Hes not wrong. 6.5C will easily kill anything in north America inside of 500 yards. I probably wouldn't pick it for polar bear or moose, but something like a 300wsm is perfect for those. 6.5mm has been the go too big game cartridge in Europe for over a 100 years.

The most successful hunter I know stopped shooting the big magnums years ago. A house full of trophies. 6.5C gets it done. His 360 class bull from 2 years ago is sitting on the wall, killed with a 143gr eldx at 560y.

The vast majority of people cannot shoot non magnums competently. Now throw extra recoil and they are not doing themselves any favors. Sometimes, Less is more. Experienced hunters and shooters know this.

Those that don't, spout shit like 338WM and 338L or using big 30 cal magnums on fucking deer, which is ludicrous.
My 11yo son took a lot of animals with a 6.5CM running 129SST superperformace loads. None of his shots were over 300 yards. Some animals much bigger than moose (would not push my luck or his with a polar bear).

Walked away from that trip with a completely different respect for the 6.5CM. (Have been shooting it since it's release).

Stock Market

If only!!!! Haha

I sat on them for a few years, made a little, and never looked back. My parents just thought it was silly.

Same with the early days of bitcoin in 2011/2012. I was mining them in pools with a couple of PCs I had built.

After a few months, with me being young and poor finishing school, I realized it wasn’t even going to pay for electricity and shut it all down.

Those are long gone too!

I’m sure everyone has a few stories like that.
Darn well that's how it goes sometimes.

Heck I invested a bunch of money in a new business venture around that time, an improved product over the competition, and lost it all, so don't feel bad.

There really is a club of higher up buyers for huge corporations that are in with certain companies or products and it's near impossible to get your foot in the door 'that is if they open it at all'. You have a nice product but..............

What is your favorite folding knife?

I also own a bunch of other folders and multi tools that are cheap to pricey as well from Leatherman, Benchmade, Zero Tolerance and manufacturers I don’t remember that are stashed in my cars that I don’t care if they get lost or stolen. Some of them are better suited at various tasks to my CRK zaan, just like some of my nice fixed blades are better suited than folders. Unfortunately the law can restrict what you can carry in certain areas. I carry a nicer folder because I like them and I want to, just like some people own a dozen Rolex’s or collect comic books or baseball cards. Some men have different interests, you know how many people outside of the hide freak out about a $10k rifle and a $4k optic? Does anyone need a $40k Rolex? I rather have a smart watch.
