    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Aluminum is an absolute shit material to make bikes from. It literally turns your frame into a wearable component. Carbon only has a limited life span if it wasn't built correctly (e.g., the early days of gluing the bikes together) or if it's crashed and compromised. Otherwise it should last...

    First Time AR15 Build - Please Help Me Not Be An Idiot

    Again, you're deluding yourself with marketing jargon BS if you think spending 4x as much as the rest of us pay for a rifle is going to turn you into some kind of shooter. Meanwhile a buddy of mine was dinging steel at over 800 yards yesterday with his rifle that has an $80 barrel and shoots 5...

    First Time AR15 Build - Please Help Me Not Be An Idiot

    You should be able to buy 3 or maybe even 4 AR-15s for that kind of money. It seems that most of you who have posted in this tread are far more invested in marketing than actually shooting. If you like a certain handguard, or trigger, or stock or whatever, buy it and enjoy. Other than that...

    Fusion

    So let me get this straight, you are worried that communists will make better capitalists than us?

    Things I’ve decided Gunsmiths should offer 🧐

    The answer to your question is that information is basically useless. I used to be all worried about getting my bullets jammed into the lands or at least not too far away from them. It turns out that there's bullets that will shoot really well even jumped nearly 1/4 inch (not a typo). Once I...

    Is lvl 4 armor worth it?

    PLEASE take pics and ideally videos with other competitive shooters if you show up wearing a plate carrier to a shooting match. I haven't had the kind of laugh I'm going to have from this in a long time.

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    Continued destruction and rebuilding of the economy is a feature, not a bug of capitalism. Businesses are supposed to fail. Remember Sears? I call BS on it reducing anyone's standard of living. Capitalism is the greatest system for the allocation of resources that the world has ever known...

    It might actually be better for everyone for the train to keep running. Nobody really knows for sure.

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    Maybe that's a good thing. Having low inflation for so long kept us from looking at what else was out there. Looking for a job isn't free. It's a costly waste of time. But moving to a new job this year got me a raise, less stress, and more free time. Maybe we all need a raise and we'll...

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    I don't understand your question. All businesses face these challenges. They either make a profit or fail. There is no other option realistic option for most other than to take the government's monetary and fiscal policy decisions as given. The market doesn't care if you think it's a...

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    Again, you're moving the goal post. You asked which is better. The answer is that isn't up to either of us. It's up to the market to decide whether businesses succeed or fail.

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    "Real" wages account for inflation, so your second sentence is accounted for in the data set you cite. The general proposition is correct, that wages are stagnant and there's been no real increase in wages for much of the economy for 40 years is true for a large portion of our labor force...

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    Who cares what I think as to which is better? All you're doing is saying that markets have both positive and negative feedback loop. If a business can't turn a profit, it should fail. If it can't obtain the labor it needs to produce a product at a profit, it should go under. People are not...

    Where the F are all the employees and where are they getting their money ?

    Right!! This is how the market places upward pressure on wages. This is why we needed at least some inflation a long time ago, to upset the complacency that we'd gotten into. This is capitalism at work. The idea that employers shouldn't be competing for the best employees was lost for 40+...

    Which would you keep given my current rifles? 6mm ARC or 6.5 Grendel

    I would get rid of both the Grendel and the 6mm ARC.

    Who still drives a manual?

    Your response indicates that you are missing my point. Which is that even if it seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to drive a manual as a commuter and not just for fun, eventually, it becomes such a part of driving, that I don't even think about it anymore. I'm not even a strong manual guy...

    Bolt gun for the wife

    You must not like your wife very much if you would send your wife with a 243 against a bear.

    Indian or Harley

    I think those who are on the "Harley-Davidson is dying and its fanbase are never coming back" are just wishful thinkers. Harley-Davidson and American heavy motorcycles aren't going anywhere. They may need a marketing reboot. All the blue collar trades need the same thing. But iconic pieces...

    Who still drives a manual?

    I really don't understand why people say stuff like this. I've been driving basically only manuals for the last 20 years, and the coordination it takes to drive it is basically on autopilot in my head. I can be half asleep, tired, pulling a huge trailer, going up a mountain, etc., and all that...

    Is the IRS willing to kill you?

    Considering that the Department of Agriculture has its own police force, I really don't even understand why this is newsworthy.
