    Walmart mass-stabbing

    The Shield Arms magazines are notorious for the springs going bad over time. I’ve experienced this with the Gen 1s, I bought a couple when they originally came out and they worked great. Haven’t shot them for a couple of years and left them loaded with defensive ammo. Recently went to the...

    Dakota 76 issues

    As I recall, the D76 is an “Old School” CRF action like the M98 and the pre-64 Model 70 so the feed lips are cut into the action itself. Tuning them for a specific cartridge would require having them modified by someone with experience.

    CVN-75 in a fender bender near Suez Port Said

    Interesting overview. Also, what’s with all the rust? Doesn’t the Navy take care of their ships anymore or do they have to use “environmentally friendly” paint now that doesn’t work?

    CVN-75 in a fender bender near Suez Port Said

    Tough week for the Navy. Add this to the E/A-18 Growler they lost yesterday in San Diego and the week can’t end soon enough for them

    Steak perfectionist

    For thicker cuts I use a BGE (Big Green Egg). My preferred cut is a prime NY Strip. First, I’ll season with a good Montreal type seasoning (like Jack Daniels) and let it approach room temperature. Then, I’ll light the grill and get a raging coal fire going. Next, I’ll sear each side for...

    Alec Baldwin literally just shot two people

    This should make it very hard for a jury to acquit: https://nypost.com/2024/06/19/us-news/alec-baldwin-fired-blank-at-crew-member-before-fatal-rust-shooting-prosecutors/

    That’s some crackerjack work by the Politzei!

    Jihadi goes on a stabbing spree in Germany and one of the cops gives the “George Floyd” treatment to one of the victims, then he gets stabbed for it. Sounds about right for Europe these days...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Movie Theater Kong vs Godzilla

    No. He’s talking about the movie that came out a while back (2021 I think). At least it was better than King of the Monsters, that was really bad. If your expectations don’t go further than expecting to see Kaiju beat the crap out of each other you will do okay.
