    Try Macallen or 18, Glenmorangie 16. Single malts for me, no blends. For cognac Hennesey XO is lighter and a little sweet, Otard XO is a little darker and a little smoky, while Martel hits the right spot for me. Buffalo Trace isn't so bad, Woodford Reserve either.

    WTF is wrong with contractors?

    You haven't lived until you've done project management at a nuclear power plant. Find help that can pass an FBI background check, pass the psych eval, pass drug tests and is smart enough to pass the radiological controls classes (includes some physics). Then deal with the paperwork to actually...

    The Tank is dead...Long Live the Tank!

    Think again. This isn't WWII when the entire of US industry was rolling out thousands of relatively simple aircraft. Thousands of pilots were rapidly trained to fly aircraft not much more complicated than a Cessna. Now days only a single plant produces a given airframe. Modern aircraft are so...

    A semi-automatic bolt action? That would make it really rare indeed.

    How much do dies really matter in accuracy?

    While it's nice to have the fancy pants dies, I've loaded match grade low runout rounds using Lee dies. But I do use Redding micrometer competition seating dies because of the convenience in setting seating depth accurately, seat long, measure, set the die and GTG. Now if you really wanted to...

    rock guitar player survey

    Opinions vary. Use of VIBRATO is the choice of the artist.I don't think she used to much. On the other hand I for one could have done without Steve Vais facial gymnastics performing the same tune.

    Buy or Build a sturdy workbench/reloading bench?

    Years back I bought two commercial work benches, 1-1/2" thick tops, ball bearing slide drawer for the reading room. Yeah, it wasn't exactly cheap but thirty years later, well, buy once cry once.

    Is It Fair To Fire and Ostracize Russians For The Actions Of Their Government

    Can't keep watching what I don't watch in the first place. I don't watch CNN or Fox , unless I need a laugh. Both pump propaganda and have nothing to do with hard news. I prefer the API or Reuters feeds, and make up my own mind rather than listening to ignorant talking heads. Worst thing about...

    Is It Fair To Fire and Ostracize Russians For The Actions Of Their Government

    Oh boo fucking hoo, the poor Russian populace is being inconvenienced. Not like they've had chunks of their country previously bitten off (like the Crimean peninsula) by invasion, or had a hot insurgency backed by a foreign dictator for years, or had their capital city bombed into ruin along...

    Swiss bank leak...

    Every major bank throughout history has dealt in dirty money, financing slavery, drugs, wars and any other underhanded scheme to screw the "unwashed masses". The modern drug trade would not exist without the banks moving and cleaning the money.
