    Maggie’s Bugatti hits 246 in Idaho

    Bugatti claims the Veyrons are SO EXPENSIVE to build, they lose more than 4 million Euro (~$6 1/4 million) on every one they sell. VW must have to sell 50,000 Beetles to subsidize the losses from the sale of ONE Veyron. No wonder they're phasing it out.

    How long is powder good for?

    There's lots of factors affecting how long a powder will last, beginning with the particular powder in question. In some cases, apparently it's next to forever. In Lee Precision's "ABCs of Reloading" (mine was published in 2004), on p. 51 it reads, Norma, OTOH, is a bit more pessimistic...

    UFC 175 this Saturday!

    That was one hell of a dust-up. On the one hand, making it personal is really going to boost the PPV sales. I know a lot of fans regret they didn't get to see Sonnen and Silva settle it in the ring, and they've all still got their blood lust up. Then again, there was always risk of an injury...

    UFC 175 this Saturday!

    I'd almost forgotten about The Axe Murderer's dodged test. Now the Nevada AG formally has asked NSAC to go after him for their out of pocket expenses. Plus whatever else NSAC might deem "just and proper." I can't imagine NSAC wouldn't add another log to the fire for their own troubles. And...

    Building custom buffalo gun

    You could save a lot of time and money by using an existing cartridge. For one thing, somebody already engineered and maybe manufactures casings for it. And you'd avoid the NFA hassles if you picked a cartridge that somebody already spent the money on to get a Sporting Use Exemption for the...

    Jessie Ventura In court suing Chris Kyle's family

    The moron also is a 9/11 Truther and advocate of every anti-government conspiracy theory you can name.

    Gun Laws In Tennessee

    As a rule, tf they run the "blessyourheart" together, sort of dying out on the "heart," often accompanied with a touch on the sleeve, they genuinely mean it. But if they pronounce all four words distinctly, with extra stress on the "bless," what they really mean is "Yer a fuckin' idiot, ain't...

    Doc signs off on Anderson 'Spider' Silva's return to training

    That's one of the aspects I was alluding to. Guard down and sticking his face out to coax his opponent into swinging wildly, then slipping the punch by half a blonde cunt hair. Goading them into srcapping their own fight plan and fighting his fight. Except Weidmann didn't fall for it. He...

    Gun Laws In Tennessee

    I stand corrected. The change was two-fold. There was a misconnect with the old Castle Doctrine because it extended to your car and workplace but still required that you have a HCP to go armed in your car lawfully. This change codifies the extension of protection of "private property" laws to...

    Last crew member of the Enola Gay passes

    VanKirk was 93, and Paul Tibbets lived to 92. Shows you how much exposure to a nuclear blast can shorten your life.

    Doc signs off on Anderson 'Spider' Silva's return to training

    It's on like Donkey Kong. 31 January in Lost Wages. Opening odds have Diaz about a 2:1 underdog!! The Spider reminds me very much of (noted draft dodger) Mohammed Ali, in more ways than one. His myth beats most guys before they ever step into the ring.

    Gun Laws In Tennessee

    Tennessee had some crazy law changes on 1 July. Liquor stores now can sell set-ups. Previously, they couldn't even sell cork screws. Or beer or snacks or cigs. Now they can sell all the above, no doubt a dog yummy to the store owners in advance of the expected new law to allow grocery...

    Self Guided Bullet Footage from DARPA

    Technology using lasers to read atmospheric disturbances has a wide array of applications. The Very Large Telescope array at Cerro Paranal, Chile, uses a "laser guide star" and "laser adaptive optics" to correct their telescopes' optical signal. The 8-meter wide mirrors are backed with...

    Say 'Good-Bye' to Little Nog

    I just rewatched the fight. Once Johnson put Nogueira up against the cage, his accuracy was impressive, to say the least. His last ten or so punches not only were unanswered, and at least eight of them landed hard. Strangely enough, Little Nog made more in the loss than Rumble made beating...

    Ronda Rousey aspires to be Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, but with boobs

    Adweek writes that Ronda Rousey will be the covergirl for UFC's next major sponsorship deal. MMA Payout writes "Payout Perspective: The overarching news here is that the UFC will have uniforms at some point. The not so breaking news is that Ronda Rousey is star...."

    Baretta taking 45 million investment/ 300 jobs from MD to Tenn.

    Connecticut's anti-capitalist governor Dannel Malloy provoked Ovation Guitars to close their factory there, probably to re-open in Indonesia. Sikorsky already moved their R&D division out of the state to get away from his Malloy's pals, the mobbed-up unions. Sounds like they might be in the...

    Chasing Load w/ New Varget Lot?

    If the current bottle has been open for some time, my hunch is the powder might have absorbed a bit of moisture from the air. Smokeless gunpowder is highly hydrophillic (it LOVES to suck up water), so what used to be 44.4 grains of powder now might be 44.2 grains of powder and 0.2 grains of...

    300 blackout.... whats it good for?....?

    #1, Kinetic energy never killed nobody. Anybody tells you they can tell you with any certainty how much kinetic energy a bullet needs to kill something/anything is blowing smoke up your skirt. You kill shit by either letting out enough blood to deprive the brain of oxygen or breaking some...
