    Hunting & Fishing Suggestions for June trip to MT/WY/ID/UT/CO/NM

    Yeah, if you are up in the Seeley area you are going to be damn close to Ovando when you turn off at the Sinclair. The other options, if you have the time and inclination, would be to head over to Augusta and hike into the Bob Marshall for a couple days at Benchmark, which is a pretty memorable...

    Well, if you are out my way I will be happy to toss you a few pounds for free.

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Nah, I have been wanting some for 308, and I have a friend who took half of it off of me in return for 16 lbs of reloder 15, which I use more. I only don't use Varget because I never can get enough on hand to be sure I'll have it when I run out.

    Hunting & Fishing Suggestions for June trip to MT/WY/ID/UT/CO/NM

    Head up to the north fork of the blackfoot, not too far from Missoula. It is on the edge of the backcountry, is pretty accessible, and offers a lot of what you are talking about. Stop off at the fly fishing shop in Ovando before you head up, and they will set you straight.

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Bought 32 lbs of Varget last time it was in stock, a couple of weeks ago, which is great except I only use it in one rifle, and I shoot like two round a year from it.

    No, honestly it is an absolute blast. I've been learning the last two winters from a neighbor. And around here everything comes pre frozen. But it's not much for eating, unfortunately.

    There is zero economic argument for not borrowing money if you can produce returns greater than your cost of borrowing. The only questions are whether you can consistently do it, and whether it causes you undue stress. But if you can consistently beat your cost of debt, then it is a no brainer.

    And yet, you don't listen to a word I say.

    It has to do with that insane article above. The answers are that pharma and media are "owned" by investment funds mainly through indexes. People want to buy the S&P or whatever, and they buy fractional shares through Blackrock or Vanguard. These are bought "in the normal course of business"...

    OK, please explain to me how mutual funds come to "control the media, pharmaceuticals and houses" whether they file 13D or 13G on them, what the difference is, how they vote and how they are required to hold or sell those assets. Also, tell me what percentage of the US residential real estate...

    FWIW, these articles are written for people who don't know anything about finance, and don't understand ownership structures, in order to make them believe things that are basically insane. But tinfoil on, it's exactly why they write them.

    Because there are a lot of lunatics here.

    Looks like a game changer for Dillon precision reloaders

    It's true that you cannot load rifle ammo on a Dillon.

    If anybody has requests for dies to try next to, let me know. I don't have everything, but a lot.

    It fits next to a Redding for sure. I will try it with others tomorrow.

    Got this in the mail today. It is indeed far better than any other option out there. Necessary? Who knows. But very nice, especially if you switch between powder measure and funnel for different loads with the same cartridge, or, of course, if you use anything that requires the large powder...

    Recession - 2022 / 2023 / 2024

    I don't think there is any way to possibly argue that the business cycle has been anything but less severe over the past hundredish years (post GD) than in any other time in history, and at the same time, growth in technology, shared prosperity, etc, has been greater than in any other period...

    Elon musk. Mastermind!

    This is, of course, bullshit. Institutional ownership of twitter is 77% of shares outstanding, so nobody is going to be buying 50%+ of the shares. That doesn't mean he has no options, but it does mean that he and his friends aren't quietly buying a majority stake.

    Elon musk. Mastermind!

    Ten days to file the original, two days to amend. Forty five days is a 13G, but I am pretty sure he filed a 13D. ETA: these forms are a huge pain in the ass, and they limit what you can do, so the only reason anybody ever files one is if 1) they are a huge asset manager like Fidelity or...
