    How about that, a centering post!

    Bullet going to sleep

    Sadly, it’s getting that way, yes. .30-06 remains one of my favorites to shoot but the Creedmoor crowd is always looking for higher BC and lower recoil.

    Bullet going to sleep

    I have a theory that this “sleeping bullet” thing comes from guys that shoot a .30-06 10 shots a year, and always have a scope pegged out on high magnification. I think with a flinch inducing round and someone who doesn’t shoot regularly or with good form, combined with a dickhead chasing every...

    General purpose bike

    Seems like there is a shortage of everything entertaining; boats ,bikes, trucks, pistols, Ammo. Hell the only thing PSA seems to advertise anymore are black aces shotguns and pistol braces. At any rate, I will definitely be buying used because I’m cheap and I do t mind letting other people...

    General purpose bike

    Seems like some good information to start looking, It looks like both the gravel bike and the hybrid would do what I’m looking for, the hybrid is maybe closer to the price point I like and I’ve seen some good deals on used bikes already. Like everything else, bike seem to he another ridiculous...

    General purpose bike

    I have found a lot of threads on here about mountain bikes, a few on road bikes, and quite a bit about motorcycles, but none of it covers quite what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a bike that is decent for riding slowly on unimproved trails, fire roads and power/sewer easements (nothing crazy...

    I always see stuff like this as criticism of how southerners handle snow, and it’s good for a laugh, but why the hell would anyone condone their state spending millions on plows and salt trucks for a weather event that almost never happens?I have a multi fuel generator, gas fire place, wood...

    College For The Kids

    With engineering degrees, most engineering programs are laid out in a way that you can’t follow the advice of getting gen. Ed. Credits out of the way first at a community college because you basically start your engineering classes your first semester and you’re learning the math, physics, and...

    Ha yeah, like everyone else, Its because shooter65 is gone, I needed his constant nudes, semi nudes, and random back scars to keep that closet door shut.

    Leasing a vehicle

    In 2013 I bought a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder for $140, AC worked, new stereo, the starter didn’t work but the guy I bought it from had a new one in the back he gave me, turned out to be a loose ground, so I took the starter back to advance and got $123 back for it. I don’t know how many miles it...

    "Why was the BF109K faster than the P51D? MW 50!"

    Definitely, but an engine will have an oil system anyway, so you add in a hot line, a heat exchanger and a cold line and you have maybe 5 additional points for a leak or failure, maybe you get goofy like vought and have two oil coolers stuck out in your bent wing roots, still pretty manageable...

    "Why was the BF109K faster than the P51D? MW 50!"

    Ha too true, for 1944 it should read US Army Air Forces, in 41 it would have been air corps, the name changes get pretty hard to keep track of. And just think, now we have the US Space Force “gaurdians”. Maybe Biden will give us a special cyberforce too, the “neck beards”.

    "Why was the BF109K faster than the P51D? MW 50!"

    The p-40, f4f wildcat, and hawker Hurricane and their pilots deserve admiration for holding the line against superior aircraft with tactics, cunning, and massive balls until engineering and manufacturing could turn the tide. Without them midway, Guadalcanal, North Africa, and the Battle of...

    "Why was the BF109K faster than the P51D? MW 50!"

    The p-51 used the Meredith effect in its radiator inlet and duct system probably better than any other piston engine fighter, the thrust produced can nullify the drag caused by the cooling system but it only works at high air speed and requires careful control of the cooling system temperature...

    "Why was the BF109K faster than the P51D? MW 50!"

    Everybody loves the lines of a p-51 but those big radials weren’t as draggy as they seem, the NACA figured out a good cowling shape and lip for radials that made them competitive at speed, and being air cooled made for a more reliable airframe and power plant combination. Water cooled engines...

    Just a splash of cold water for me. Unless it’s cheap whiskey, like 1783, then it gets two ice cubes and a minute to mellow.
