Hide victors of the yard... looking for some suggestions here...

Man I am in the same boat. My grass is horrible.

I live in Arizona all that's outside is mud and tumbleweeds. Made the mistake of doing extra grading on my property and the tiny bit of useful topsoil is mostly gone, it's all alkali clay shit now, so can't do anything except cover it with gravel.

Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

If the Left stays united, we are going to be badly screwed in the 2028 presidential election.

If Musk's party actually starts rolling this will happen for sure.

Look at how they stole the election from Bernie during their own primary and yet the Democrats stayed 100% united. No creating a third party, no alternative, no we're going to vote for the greens, nope, we're all Democrats until we die (and then we keep on voting anyways).

Movie Theater Alone at Dawn book to be a movie "Combat Control". John Chapman MoH Takur Ghar 2002

Here is a good interview with the ground force commander.
I suppose this could be “his side of the story” vs the Air Force. But it’s good.

And if you watch or listen to that interview then correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like Chapman may not have been alive at dawn?
There is (or was) drone footage of a red on red incident?
And here is the dead combatant allegedly killed by their own. Pics are screenshots from the antihero podcast video linked above.

USAF MSgt Rob Harrison a sensor operator in Grimm 32 (AC-130 on station) has stated in numerous interviews and board meetings that Chapmans strobe activated once the 105mm rounds landed near his position under the tree. The video recording shows Chapman crawling into the “Bunker 1” AFTER Slab and MAKO 30 retreated down the mountain.

It appears Blaber is parroting the SEALS coverup.

Slabinski has numerous interviews to include FOX News where he stated he personally crawled over onto Chapman and determined he was not breathing. However the VIDEO recording shows this statement to be a LIE. Slabinski was no closer to Chapman than 12 feet.

Blabers discussion on the Red on Red claim was NOT presented with video. He only used pictures with hand drawn lines claiming enemy soldiers

The NAVY claims Chapman died within 3 minutes of exiting the helicopter. The video recording shows this is a LIE

The. Heart. Of. The. System.

I've confirmed a lot of data that started with answers to my many questions from a community that's actively involved in truly using a platform that a lot is expected of. And thank you to the community, the participation has been awesome, and I appreciate everyone's responses, but there are many more questions to come.

The answers have served the development of a complete system that isn't hampered by a number of features that many have turned to that are actually part of the issues that have been experienced.

An adjustment on so and so's magazine, an adjustment on so and so's chassis and/or DBM, and no one has a clue where to start with all these adjustments that, frankly, are unnecessary.

Who knows what the exact process is to actually use all these adjustable releases and catches out there? Has a process been published by any of the respective manufacturers?

Has the single most important dimension to proper feeding and cycling been provided with all these adjustments out there? If one knew what this dimension was and why it's important, and if the system was capable of being adjusted while the magazine was inserted, one could be up and reliably running in a matter of seconds with a high-level of confidence that your system is optimized.

So, I've re-created what originally started all this, but it's going further than the original. I went back to the magazine and built on more than 15 years of fielded rimfire rifles. I have numerous features suppressed in the pictured magazine below (yes, it has a thumb button), but at the center of it is all the things that made the original so successful.

Andrew Cuomo or muslim socialist......decisions, decisions....

This guy is gonna make brandon Johnson look rational.

That’s the absolute truth right there. I’m wondering how far the mob will let him go before they take him out, or are they already positioning things to take advantage of the chaos he will bring; going to be interesting to watch. Once again, he might be the mayor some day, but as BJ the 2nd has found out, he’s not king and has to get his ideas passed through the city council which has been difficult for BJ. Every single person voted against BJ’s tax plan.

“Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

After action report. I did better than expected, but not as well as I’d hoped.

The Kestrel had the wind at the firing line at 2 to 6 Mph with gusts to around 10. The Vortex range finder had it at .3 Mil left and my wind dope chart had .5 L for a full value 5 Mph wind. Knowing most everyone misses right from previous videos I dialed in .6 Mil left. I wasn’t surprised I missed right, I was surprised at how far right the first shot impacted. I adjusted an additional .8 Mil left and made the second round hit. I didn’t expect a hit on the second shot as I was so far right. I just thought I’d get somewhere close and hit on the 3rd or 4th shot. A very nice result!

I believe the wind picked up after the 2nd shot and I didn’t notice or account for it so once again started missing right on the 5” target. Although I was adjusting left in between shots the wind apparently was still increasing. I did finally get close, but never did get a hit. The wind is the determining factor and I obviously need some more work in that area.

Ryan Cheney was there and obviously the favorite from the start. Very nice guy and willing to share his knowledge and experience having competed and won in ELR. He gave everyone there one of his EndGame adjustable rear bags – a very nice bonus for the rest of us!

Overall I’m happy with how it went. Great group of guys to shoot and shoot the shit with.

Optics Advice for AR-15

RT6 was the best lpvo for glass, simplicity, durability, size/weight imho. anything more you're better off going 2-10x or more. agree with you the LPVO is a progression but feel it suits more than 90% of the pool well.
Oh, the RT6. Reminds me of a simpler time. Need an LPVO with a useful reticle, RT6. Need a bright as sh!t dot, Gen 2 PST. Didn't need to think about it.

I love talking optics. There are so many that 10 guys can express an opinion and everyone could be right.

Since the OP obviously doesn't have a clue (not a dispersion, we've all been there), maybe what he needs to do is dip his toe with a less expensive optic and learn what HE needs. Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x. Everyone should have one.

Throw that into a Leupold Mark AR mount and he's inti a rig for what? $500 or $600, and he has an option to add a red dot if he finds he needs it.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Elon doesn't seem to understand politics. He seems to think the Presidency is like a CEO and can dictate what gets through congress. That's my take from his big, beautiful bill whining. Politics is that art of the possible, and what Elon wanted was not possible. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.

Of all the business he has created only one, SpaceX, has caused a net growth the market. All of the rest have taken market share. Tesla took market from the traditional auto makers. It didn't lead to more cars on the road.

In politics, with a fixed number of seats in any legislative body you can only gain "market share" at the expense of others, you cannot create expand a market, or seats. So, given Elons drive for fiscal conservatism, who will this party steal seats & votes from?

If he is serious about change, he needs get involved in the GOP and primary those he wants to depose. But then he would have to work with other people and not be the head honcho, and he can't do that, because ego. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.

If this party happens and gains traction say hello to AOC as your first woman president. And say hello to $20,000 NFA transfer taxes. If you think this party is a good idea and will lead to good 2A and good fiscal things, then based on the history of third parties you are, quite frankly, an idiot.
