Saw it today. It was intense. I thought it had a lot of great cinematographic tricks and some very good use of sound… or lack of it.

I need to watch it again to catch details… but it as very worth watching.

I may have missed the very beginning but I was having a hard time figuring exactly where/when. I need to look that up. I figured some place like Ramadi or Sunni Triangle before the surge…. So 2006 or so. But that’s a guess.

The ending was moving as hell!

Very worth watching!!

LR was 100 shots and it would overwrite the string, but that was fixed a while back. It now creates a new string with the latest firmware and app.

Ok, so then it's both, apparently. I never put anywhere near 100 shots in a string, but it began to overwrite old strings with new ones when you hit 100 strings.
Correction: Now that I think about it, I don't think the LR would overwrite strings. Instead, I think it stopped at 99 or 100 strings, and then required you to delete some if you wanted to free up space for continued operation? Can't remember for sure - I haven't touched it since the Garmin came out. The Garmin, when full (100 strings?) asks for permission to overwrite the oldest strings in order to continue.

9 years ago we lost Harambe!!

Dicks out for Harambe!!

Anyone who has studied/practiced edged weapons techniques, can attest to the effectiveness of an inch long scalpel held at the finger tip. If you can touch a person, they are cut. If you know a little about anatomy, a few millimeters cut depth is all it takes to kill. A one inch blade, or a three foot blade, really doesn't matter.

Blades? We don’t need no ‘steenkin blades!

Solar and wind won't provide the electricity required to run the computers needed. I'll wager that they are going to make a push to start nuclear power again.

Interesting (astute) observation. Right now, Facebook/Meta is building a huge new data center in my AO, directly across the road from a big Hyundai car manufacturing plant. From what I can see in the infrastructure, they're planning on the data center to be pulling A LOT more power than the plant that's building freakin' cars across the road. This is just my observation, I don't have any data to back it up - just what I can see in the installation, so maybe I'm wrong.

That…. Is the result of pacific tool and gauge sending me the wrong reamer and telling me tough shit. If I wanted what I ordered then I had to put another order in. Anyhow fuck PT&G….
Already waited 8 months for this one to show up. So I used it.

I was after a .50 peacekeeper which is a full length .460 weatherby case necked to .510.
What received is a rendition of the 50 whisper. I call it the .50 WarHammer. Just a .578 weatherby case cut to 2.140. 750 AMax stuffed in it.

What about a Tikka Tac A1? You’d be just under your budget.

The @ironpony52 thread on building a guitar for his buddy led to me posting a pic of Jeff Healey… I’d forgotten what a great player he was.

Love this jam he did with SRV; both taken far too young:

@ironpony52
I don't recognize that volume knob in the pic as being Fender. Do you have a pic of the whole original guitar?

Can you do the 10-22 style for .22WSM or .17 HMR but with the shock cord for a bolt action rifle?

1/2x28 on .300’s? They chose….poorly.

I have no problems with the 1 I have. Was getting hits out to 754 yards last week with my 16" Mod H

Again, these story’s are fantastic, T think 15 years here went before I thought to myself” damn, the perfect thread just appeared.
Veer G would approve, probably.

Just checking is this still available?

In the south I don’t see those temps enough to test it honestly. Sorry

Well...you're not wrong!
Edit 1: Poor Jeff. Cancer took his eyesight as a kid, causing him to learn to play that way for some reason, only to return and take his life as an adult at the peak of his career.
Edit 2: I see you Liked my post with a laughing emogee before I posted Edit 1. So this edit is to credit you for those reading to know that you weren't laughing at Edit 1.

That sure looks like a 24" scale, which is definitely NOT standard for a Strat. Measure the distance from the back (fretboard side) of the nut to the 12th fret. If it's 12.0", then that would confirm it's a 24" scale. On the other hand, if the donor guitar measured exactly 25-1/4" (as pictured) from whatever point of the nut you originally measured, to the backside of the bridge, and you duplicated that EXACTLY, you should be OK, assuming the guitar intonated correctly to begin with. Note that 25-1/4" in the picture is not the "scale-length". Scale-length technically refers to the length of the vibrating string, which goes from the back (fretboard) side of the nut to the bridge SADDLE (not the back of the bridge). Since each saddle has to be in a slightly different place for the string to intonate properly, "scale-length" is really just sort of an average of these individual distances.

You said it started as a Fender Strat? If you will notice, the cutout in the body on the bottom side of the neck extends all the way back to the 21st fret. Your body/neck intersection stops at the 15th. Either way, nobody’s playing anything above the 15th on your design. I’m not saying that’s unacceptable, it’s just the trade off you made, esthetics vs playability. All those frets above 15 (maybe 16 or 17) are unusable.

Well, one could open a carotid and take off the head at the same time with a three foot blade.

I appreciate your input. I’ve been looking at vortex lht. The razor is little over budget….

We will see. I don’t want to buy then regret what I got so I’m taking my time.

Yeah there are so many wants. I’m trying to do this the right way without going way over budget. I figured a wmlrf is pretty important if I ever do need it in different styles of shooting and a basic quality mono lrf will do the handheld portion.

Honestly my Bushnell elite from 2013 is in great shape and pretty sharp. I’m curious how much better 2k glass will be. I guess its obvious at distance
