    Stamped steel replacing 2x4

    Fifteen or twenty years ago I visited Germany. There were several new homes being built along my walks through town. All of them were being framed with metal 2x4s (or more likely whatever the metric equivalent is). I thought at the time that it was probably more expensive until I considered that...

    Shooting and theft at GA gun range

    I stepped one foot into the door of an LGS and saw the legal sign on a counter inside facing the entrance and froze, shook my head and started turning around. The clerk read my mind and said, "That’s just an example of what a legal sign is in this state. Come on in." I've been to two others...

    ...you were switching out for fresh targets anyway. Win, win.

    Anyone Else?

    Yes, I'm still amazed. They put the rear bumper about where the back seat was. I can't imagine what their car looked like or how they were even able to drive it away. It wasn't a glancing blow or a sideswipe. They plowed into that with authority.

    More stupidity

    The same thing happens in NH for the low cost of cigarettes and alcohol, mostly by Maine and Massachusetts. Maine sent an undercover car to camp out in a liquor store parking lot (owned by the State of NH and a significant source of revenue) and radio Maine license plates of customers who would...

    Anyone Else?

    I had a '67 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 ragtop with the 455 Rocket V8 destroyed by a hit and run driver. This thing was mint! My insurance company sent me a check for about 60% of its value. I went into their office but went prepared. I had a professional automobile appraiser give me an appraisal...

    Surety Bond claims used to hold elected officials accountable

    When our country was founded, a person's honor was everything. Lose that and the local butcher or grocer wouldn't do business with you. At the time, that was considered sufficient to bind a public official to their oaths. We live in a completely different world today. The Constitution and laws...

    Cat - Broke Leg

    Dress head to toe in camo, rub chicken liver all over you and be perfectly quiet and still. You'll have pussy crawling in your lap quicker than going to a gentleman's club.

    In my position, how would you handle giving a two week notice?

    I worked 7pm to 7am for about 13 years. It was a great gig and made for a lot of time off while still having a full time job. 3 on, 3 off or 4 on, 4 off is great. 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off can be hard on your internal clock. Great if you're on days. Not so much on nights...

    Student Debt?

    Government will not allow student loans to be discharged by bankruptcy, meaning zero risk to lenders. This means there is nothing to constrain hundreds of billions from flowing, all of it to educational institutions. Of which a predictable amount flows to... Wait for it. ...those who opened...

    If she was already on her way out the door, that might have been a motivating factor in speaking out. He was only putting his half of his pension on the line and screwing her completely out of the other half of his pension should he lose it. I once met a very successful guy. His other half...

    Then I might bump into you. The .338LM gets those dozer teeth spinning with enthusiasm. Lesser calibers not so much. :cool:

    VCDL sues for libel.

    Make woke broke.

    Uh, Oh! This man fights. He should not be spared.

    It is indisputable that he violated UCMJ, that he knew exactly what he was doing and the certainty of consequences. He fell on his sword nonetheless. To have remained and been silent would have been a stain on his honor. To some people, the ability to look yourself in the mirror and know that...

    Need some help from the South Carolina guys

    I second the recommendation for Pickens or Oconee Counties. They have just enough elevation to temper the heat and humidity. Elsewhere in SC is nice except for the sauna climate.

    If the National Guard starts making house calls, they might not be taking no for an answer. I've never heard of MOS 31E, Internment/Resettlement Specialist. Those in the Guard, is this a new MOS? https://nationalfile.com/natl-guard-internment-resettlement-specialist/

    Yet state, local and federal prosecutors refuse to prosecute hundreds of BLM & Antifa rioters for months of riots, arson, assaults and wholesale destruction of private and public property and just announced that they are dropping charges for five PRC nationals who came here to "study" but...

    Where were you today July 20, 1969

    I was just a kid but fascinated with anything related to space science. My parents let me stay up to watch the entire excursion on the black and white. I fell asleep on the couch.
