    Primer Shortage

    That you have an opinion about a commonly used word in the English language means nothing to me. If you have never had the experience of waiting in line for a concert and having someone offer you a ticket for sale, let me assure you that it is very real. Nobody is saying anything about...

    Primer Shortage

    I am actually more shocked that you claim to have so much education but you can't tell your opinion from fact. You can't even seem to tell that I agree with the general sentiment you expressed. Further, I'm not quite sure why you felt it necessary to engage in personally directed insults...

    Primer Shortage

    You must not follow my posts very carefully on this website. I used to tech economics to undergraduates and I take every opportunity I can to point this out to people. There are two problems with the simplicity of your answer, however: 1. People believe that there is a such thing as "price...

    A long way from there. It'll come back though.

    Are there any AR 15’s made that you can count on shooting half MOA

    When I see one of his handguns make it through a stage or three without jamming, I'll consider it.

    Primer Shortage

    I'd pay $400 in a second for an 8 pounder of 8208 if I could get it. Haven't seen a single pound for sale in 2 1/2 years.

    Anyone here own a surplus HMMWV?

    I think you meant "damping." "Dampening" is what happens to your girlfriend when I enter the room.

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    I think I was screaming down a jeep road and caught a rock that I thought I steered around. New frame is here, fortunately they were cool about the warranty. If you guys like ti frames, you'll love our tandem

    Just got back from Sedona. Found this after my last ride of the trip.

    What's in a Username

    Primarily a USPSA shooter, but being "down zero" seems universal and more exciting than "two alpha."

    Considering today's political environment, would you advertise your "skills?"

    I don't know that guy, so it must be me.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Why is it that the goalpost keeps moving? Why does every discussion end up degenerating into what the CDC or Fauci recommend? You don't have to listen to ANY government resource to get the facts on the vaccines. The efficacy of the vaccines does not depend on anything the CDC or Fauci say. I...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Nobody said anything about the CDC but you. I don't care what the CDC says and I don't pay it any attention. The government has zero credibility. You and others really ought to recognize--the quantum of proof for rejecting a widely distributed and safe vaccine is extreme. It's asinine. That...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Government I get. Pharmeceutical companies? They've engineered some of the greatest innovations in human history. If invented today, the FDA probably wouldn't let us take aspirin, but does anyone really doubt how many lives have been saved by it? In the modern era, there's lot of posturing...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Studies vary, but all show greater immunity from both versus one or the other. You also seem to ignore the J&J--it does not use mRNA technology. That some people don't get "serious" illness doesn't matter much, because they transmit to people who do. I know of a family where the...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    The J&J does not use mRNA technology. It is not true that the vaccinated "catch and shed" the virus the same as the unvaccinated. The truth is far different from that, as the vast majority of vaccinated people never get infected and people who are not infected cannot transmit the virus to...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    What is and isn't "vaccinated" is a policy question, not one that can be answered by science. It's a judgment call. What is and isn't a "vaccine" is a fact, a fact at odds with your claims. The idea that the vaccines provide "little or no benefit" is a value judgment, however, any rational...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Again, who are "they"? You don't have to invent your own facts, just say you don't believe the government. I don't either, but I don't have to make up reasons. I don't believe the government because to believe the government is unamerican. That doesn't mean the definition of a "vaccine" has...

    I feel so much safer now...

    I can't remember the last time I've seen one on a property list from a crime scene, but perhaps your area is different. Out here in the old west, everyone has guns anyway.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Somehow the distinction between what the policy question of what constitutes "vaccinated" (or if you look later, "vaccination") ended up differing from what IS a "vaccine." I mean the ignorance of not understanding how the former is a policy question and the latter a fact is, in a word, tremendous.
