Are truck prices finally falling?
Dealers are a whole different matter, and I have seen many cases where good brands are trashed by the behavior of the dealers (conversely, shit brand sometimes offer great service - VW, anyone?).- E. Bryant

Are truck prices finally falling?
There are car companies that care about their customers - not because they are compassionate and caring, but because this leads to repeat sales with lower costs to recapture the customer and that's good for profits. I don't currently own any Honda or Toyota products, but both companies have a...- E. Bryant

I mean, it's more than "just recoil" - it's just that the part of this that isn't recoil is almost immeasurable.- E. Bryant

Lazy Gen Z
We're not saving anything. There are too few of us to being with and way fewer yet that give a shit. Everyone my age knows that the wheels are going to fall off well before we hit retirement age, and there's too much systemic rot to have any hopes of recovery. In the meantime, please don't come...- E. Bryant

Lazy Gen Z
There are a lot of POS Gen Xers. They fucked off in school, became life-long addicts, knocked each other up, and now their kids are "grown up".- E. Bryant

Are truck prices finally falling?
Fun fact time: "According to a Q3 survey, 31% of owners now owe more on their loan than their car is worth." This will be fun to watch from a good safe distance. (There is no good safe distance.)- E. Bryant

Are truck prices finally falling?
That's a shame. There's nothing particularly special about a FSCM, but the guys at GM and their suppliers who knew how to design and source such things (and keep track of component obsolescence issues) probably got some sort of early-retirement buyout over the last few years and GM didn't bother...- E.

Lazy Gen Z
Gen X has taken over the managerial ranks and we are not taking any shit. Seriously, my experience with Gen Z so far has been very good, but I think that our process of filtering out bad candidates is pretty solid. If I were hiring average people off the street then I'd likely have a much...- E. Bryant

I was told this about using a ccw as an ID for gun buys...
Gun owners clutch at their pearls about made-up stories of national registries when there isn't even a mechanism to collect the data required for such things, and yet they also buy gun shit using their credit cards, have Gmail inboxes full of purchase confirmations from Bud's, and do business...- E.

SOLD Zermatt TL3 short action
For sale is a Zermatt Arms TL3 short action with a standard 308 bolt face (0.473"), 20 MOA rail, AICS magazine cut, medium tang, and Competition bolt knob. This is being sold as used since it was mocked up as a test build but never fired (ended up going with the titanium version to save...- E. Bryant

Are truck prices finally falling?
Here's an interesting thread with a ton of comments from those in the business: No one is having a fun time right now, and I suspect that pricing will be the first crack to form because volume still matters a lot to the manufacturers (can't just sell half the vehicles at twice the profit per...- E.

I was told this about using a ccw as an ID for gun buys...
I'm still curious as to the logic behind the OP's incredulous claim. If I live in a state where presenting a CCW/CPL/LTCF/etc. allows me to avoid a NICS background check, how does this lead to a register entry? There's no call to a government agency. If the ATF doesn't allow such a thing in...- E. Bryant

This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.
Here's some good documents for the nerds: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/?NTSBNumber=DCA23FM036 The first two are the ones you want. I'm not a composites engineer but I can tell you this thing has so many flaws in the construction that it was doomed from the start. And then to ignore the...- E. Bryant

The point is to learn from someone else's mistakes in hopes that it won't happen again. Stockton's definitely in trouble, but not in the mortal realm that we occupy. His issues are more of the eternal sort.- E. Bryant

“BARREL MOVEMENT BEFORE THE BULLET EXITS”
Let's say that there is some vertical component - "barrel whip" or whatever one wishes to call it. The action isn't symmetrical about the horizonal plane, so this is bound to arise. Having agreed upon that, what do we think is the magnitude compared to the vertical displacement induced by the...- E. Bryant
