Made my first stop to the Summit Racing showroom in several years. I really dig this build: It's a Datsun 510 with a Mazda 13B rotary and a big-ass turbo (the description didn't give a size, but I think the smallest Precision Pro Mod is a 88mm). I love these little cars; this isn't how I'd...

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/boeing-broke-down-inside-series-110000958.html Yet more proof that a manufacturing business cannot cost-cut itself to prosperity. Bonus - additional evidence that Jack Welsh is competing with the banking industry for the title of the most destructive force in...

There's certainly an opportunity, but given the choice between investing billions in a low-yielding manufacturing business or putting it all on the Wall Street casino roulette wheel and "earning" 10-20% overnight on the hot AI stock of the moment, we know where the smart money is going. I fear...

With foreign actors constantly poking at our shitty infrastructure, the only surprise is that this doesn't happen more often.

We had fun; sorry to hear that you didn't. My boys enjoyed the spectacle leading up to the race (we got to see the Thunderbirds take off in formation from the airport, and then they did several flybys before the checkered flag dropped). The middle stretch of the race was a bit boring so we...

We took a break from wrenching to visit my brother-in-law, and ended up in Daytona Beach for some sort of big local stock-car race. My boys now have a better idea of what "the big one" means on super-speedways, and what it's like to root for a driver for 192 laps only to see him get punted into...

I'm running a few weeks behind on the Impala's motor, so I had to pull my lead mechanic off his other project to provide some help buttoning up the timing chain. This was a much-needed break from learning lessons about how "free" ATVs aren't always a great bargain, and what happens to...

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/with-boeing-in-hot-seat-claims-against-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-take-shape/ Still looking for information that would contradict assumptions made earlier in the thread, but certainly haven't found anything of the sort yet. Every indication points towards...

I'm running ANR for both IWB and OWB (the latter on a G-Code hanger).

The truly poor aren't affected by this. One might argue that they benefit a bit. The middle class are indeed fucked. The numbers are even more entertaining when going back further: So for approximately 6 of the last 40 years, we saw a decrease in debt as a percentage of GDP (and in fact a...

I use the Dead Air spacer on my M&P 5.7, which for some reason has 0.600"-long threads.

1) As pointed out, her replacement will be another swamp creature 2) The individual state parties are also a complete dumpster fire, and this won't be fixed at the national level

It feels like there are a number of people low-key pulling for the end of George Washington's "last great experiment".

The processes and product are different, but it's safe to assume at this point that the culture is the same.

One of our own members already covered this back in post 100 of this thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/boeing-737-max-at-it-again.7202577/page-2#post-11346529 Then our resident edgelord (who has mysteriously disappeared from this thread) told him to shut up and go away...

Yeah, the real problem is when the barrel threads are longer than the suppressor threads, because then the protruding portion of the barrel threads will fill with carbon and lock the can in place. (It's a feature, not a bug!) I strongly recommend using a shim in such cases that is thick enough...

Nope, no evidence of systemic problems here...

These people are going to end up arrested by law enforcement officers that consider themselves to be conservative, and convicted by conservative judges of violating laws passed by conservative politicians who were scared of terrorists a quarter-century ago. We'll blame liberals for this.

That's not 4400 sq ft with extra bedrooms and a few half-baths on the main floor, so you suck.
