You want to hear some more contrarian opinions ? Grab the tinfoil and some popcorn and settle in, it's a long one but its worth the watch.

We're going to get into everything from real estate fraud funding the black budget, the 5g control grid, the internet of bodies, (think clot shot) merging all your records into one digital file whether it be your browser history, you Financials, or your medical records, underground bases, the breakaway civilization and on and on.

Still haven't finished it myself. Think I've got about an hour to go, but so far its been good.

I prefer self checkout. Unfortunately to have these things we have to live in an honest society. My great aunt and uncle owned a service station. When they needed to run somewhere they would just leave it open and people would pay for what they took. Thier town has changed so much since then, they can't even put new bathrooms in the park as people literally break everything inside them. Probably the damn teachers unions fault. 🤣🤣🤣

New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me

R
About 45 years ago when I was a young pup, we were making a deer drive on a very cold late November morning here in WI. I had grabbed a pair of warm gloves when we left home to help deal with the cold. Midway through the drive, I noticed some deer had cut out of the woods and were running across a field heading backward from the direction of the drive. I ran to get out of the woods and sat down to scope the running deer. I beauty of a buck was in the bunch and they stopped about 250 yards out! However, there were farm buildings behind them so I couldn't shoot. I jumped up and started running to my left in order to get to a spot where there was a clear backdrop, figuring if they started running again they would clear the buildings and I would get one chance at a low probability shot before they were over the hill. I ran about 100 yards until I had a clear backdrop and they were still standing there so I plopped down on my butt, trying to steady the crosshairs. The crosshairs were floating above the body, then down onto the body as I was trying to slow my breathing and started applying pressure to the trigger so the 2-3/4# trigger would break when the crosshairs were on the body. Boom!, WTF? The gun went off when the crosshairs were about 12" over his back and off they went over the hill. That thick glove dulled my trigger finger feel and I had applied more pressure than I was aware of. That's the last time I wore warm gloves when hunting...

Best flow through suppressor

D
My experience reflects DeaconBlue's...

As a lefty long-gun-er, the allure of suppressors was always offset by gas coming out of the ejection port (I've not been convinced that an AGB helps substantially with back-pressure-induced breach gasses). An indoor weekend class with my SF RC2 convinced me to try the OSS, and like DB, I jumped in the deep end.

The less-than-cutting edge sound performance was worth trading off for *so* much less blowback. The FLOWs are better than the previous generation. Sure they still have compromises; they aren't ideal on bolt guns, are not ideal for subsonic 300 blk, and tend to trade down range numbers for shooter's ear numbers.

But for indoor shooting, a piston and flow can (either a high flow can or a FLOW can) mean I don't find myself coughing for the next few hours.

Options are nice.

I don’t know what the best flow through is dB wise, but like 5 years ago when I put in the order for a then OSS full size HX-QD 556 my main criteria to begin with was I shoot lefty, wanted to dedicate it to a 11.5 BCM upper, and didn’t want to dick with gas blocks. This was when this version of the can wasn’t in a ton of hands outside of YouTube and got a decent bit of hate online. When I got it 9 months later and shot it the first day, I was so pleased that I soon placed an order for the K version which mostly lives on a 14.5 GPR now. Like it’s gonna be loud regardless, but does what I need it to do.

Not that the welded Hux cans are the best looking thing, but I hate the look of the new 3d printed ones and would possibly take another welded K type if the deal was good enough.

A lot places are getting rid of self checkout because they are looseing too much product to theives in the self check line.

Same thing we would see with a computer applying a protocol to medicine. Way too much fucking up for a business to accept.

Good, they deserve it.

I’m at the point where I won’t go to places with self checkout. And if I am stuck in one, if the machine fucks up more than once, I just leave everything on the counter and walk out.

Let the idiot do nothing behind the counter see how that fits into their meth-head job description.

Guys!! I found Lucky Duck!!

Likely not your intention but that brought up a "fond" memory of mine if you can believe it.

A number of years ago I found myself dining in the Officer's club in the Newport Naval Base. Not that there was anything particularly "fancy" about the location just that my previous life didn't involve invitations to Officer's clubs (from what I know now, not many of 'em exist these days, at least not like they used to).

Anyway- long story short I was doing a work thing again at that location and was invited to the Officer's club for their (weekly I believe) seafood boil). It wasn't my 1st trip to Newport or my 1st visit to the officer's club but this was one of the first "events" I was expected to participate in for work.

It's no state secret- one can easily google what the location looks like...

So I find myself there again and this time for a seafood boil so some more images of such activity from the same location...

So all that to say- it was a 'nice' location, with a 'classy' spread, designed to attract 'cultured' diners. And then your old friend LuckyDuck rolls in dressed well & on his most professional behavior. It's a beautiful gathering with good plates and cloth napkins and I remember thinking at the time that I just might be turning a corner in my career that I'm now finding myself in these situations and I'm feeling pretty good about that.

Well I start into breaking up the lobster claws delicately presented in front of me and low & behold I cut the ever living shit out of my hand with the shell. It was an absolute mess. Think arterial bleeding all over my plate, all over the cloth napkins & tablecloth... a trail of blood all the way across the hardwood floors you see in the first picture. It was just blood every freakin where. And in classic LD fashion, right at the beginning of this evening so not to gain any professional benefits from it.

I cut myself deep enough with that initial lobster claw that I likely should have needed stitches but after bleeding through a few cloth napkins I ended up butterfly stitching my hand back together and bandaging the shit out of it (replacing it daily) for the rest of my time there in Newport. So much for professional development.

But yeah- that was my first and last seafood boil experience.
