    Armed robber gets crushed

    Had a buddy in Columbia driving a client around in a VR7 Merc suv, had an attempted bike robbery. Perps ‘fell off’ their bike after it ‘bumped into’ the Benz, one of them DRT after head butting a parked car. Local cops paid for the coffee and churros at the debrief.

    The Official “All Audi Drivers are Douche bags” Thread

    At some point in the last decade or so, the type of person running an Audi gradually changed. Back in the group B days, every Audi driver I met was an enthusiast. Then real estate agents and such started buying them, things changed. Still plenty of good folks driving Audis, but the douche...

    Strelok Pro

    UI is just familiarity. I prefer results on target, over a pretty interface. Custom drag curves win for me.

    Strelok Pro

    Some other ballistics apps elect to ask permission from the reticle designer, to use them in their app. I don’t wish to publicly comment on Streloks approach… Yes, I have designed reticles you may have used…..

    24 Hours of LeMans is on....

    100 year anniversary this year, Ferrari in front for now. Impressive to keep something that highly stressed together for 24 hrs. Unfortunately, along with Dakar and other epic events, overshadowed in the media by cars that can only turn one way and other bollocks…

    POLL: If we got into a shooting conflict with China...

    Nope, most of my stuff isn’t new, it’s old. New stuff yes possibly as you say. Same with cars. Ze Chermans started using Romanian and other eastern block made switchgear and electric components, (Bosch and VDO) set up factories there) which is unreliable compared to the locally made stuff...

    POLL: If we got into a shooting conflict with China...

    Supporting our allies should not be a hobby. No chicom opticurr dewice here. I do without, save my $$ until I can afford the real deal. Added benefit is I never have to say, ‘gee it’s almost as good as’ …..

    Nightforce device for ELR?

    Tacom make a scope mounted version, and a rail mounted version in many different elevation options. Go with the innovators, not the imitators....

    I have basically stopped tipping, and its paying off.

    Here in Australia, minimum wage is about $21 an hour for adults, so not apples with apples > USA. Different tip expectations due to staff actually receiving income regardless of tips. Unfortunately as with many things, we seem to be following the expectation trend in the US regarding tipping.

    I have basically stopped tipping, and its paying off.

    Circumstances determine tactics. I always tip handsomely at my regular sushi place. Food is incredible and fairly priced, wait staff are cute, fast and apparently telepathic, and the sashemi guy runs a blade in ways that would embarrass any surgeon. I always get a place somehow, even if there is...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Yup, and M777 with the GPS guided Excalibur round, accurate within 5 yards @ 25 miles. No idea how accurate Russian arty is, but they seem to group ok in the same suburb…. Edit: new accuracy phrase, ‘minute of suburb’.

    Twitter, will you join if you haven’t already?

    Prolly not, but if E M can unfuck the rabid political bias there, and bring some appearance of balance, then I watch with interest. For ex: Twitter blocked the H Biden laptop story. Alledgedly, 16% of J Biden voters would not have voted that way had they been better informed about that issue.

    Feeling Honored today

    Outstanding! Not many have the skills, or have been through enough, to motivate another human to achieve attempting an event like that. Big props, I tip my hat.

    Asking advice in the Pit. Lord help me

    What’s the age of consent in your state? Sounds like you need to hire a hooker to bangulate and humpify the little rascal, when of consensual age. Video optional....

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    A Simo Hayha seemed to run irons ok, last time Russia invaded Finland in ‘39. As for trying to hide in the cold, against a foe possibly using thermal detection equipment, no thanks....
