I haven't shot a PRSish match this year and need to get tuned up for the Vortex Team match in NC, and do it in a hurry. AL Precision has their match the same weekend so that is out. Any match suggestions would be appreciated.

Just for the hell of it I entered a hackathon hosted by one of our most prominent universities. Funding was provided by a wall street firm. The problem to be solved was analyzing language via a branch of AI known as NLP, or natural language processing. Basically, we took a huge volume of text...

'Wall of Moms' stand between Portland Black Lives Matter protesters and federal police A protective phalanx of mothers has assembled in Portland to form a barrier between children who have , for 50-somethings days, burned, defaced, torn down, and defecated upon all manner of public property...

Baseball went down the shitter with the '94 strike, I think the NBA still exists, the entirety of the NFL has either taken a knee or has been arrested, and I'm not really sure what other "major" sports still exist. I'm even less sure WTF this video is about, except that it seems more engaging...

Donald Trump’s coronavirus advice just might kill us In this amazing piece by David Scharfenburg of The Boston Globe we discover that "Covid-19 is a threat not just to our health, but our democracy". Co-pilot to the plague is one DJT. The gist of the article is that the planet is misguided by...

I sat in a room full of corporate executives as the CFO of a small tech company gave a presentation about how they collected data on individuals from open sources then used that data to build (calculate, really) a list of 150 characteristics about each person. He proceeded to show a variety of...

This may make the match more or less attractive depending on where you are. https://practiscore.com/bushnell-elite-tactical-sniper-challenge-presented-by-beretta-usa-1/register Bushnell Elite Tactical Sniper Challenge presented by Beretta USA Due to situation entirely beyond my control, It has...

Anyone familiar with this? A friend sent it to me today and we both just signed up. Looks like a lot of fun. https://thetacticalgames.com/ To prep I'll be doing a little more 2G and added a tough and a heavy GoRuck to the calendar.

IIRC, someone on here was making CZ 455 One-Piece Bottom Metal. DIP makes them but I thought I'd try here first. Anyone know who?

Chuck has been doing 1917s and 1903s for me since about 2005. I thought I was done with restorations for those two rifles but after cleaning out the basement in the fall I found enough 1903 parts to make several rifles, but only 2 receivers. Off to Chuck went a pile of parts. I also sent him a...

Alexander cuts the Gordian Knot by Jean-Simon Berthelemy This had me laughing pretty hard... In an oped piece for The Hill Jonathan Turley theorizes on how the Russia investigation came to be and how it has turned into something so arcane and wretched. He begins with the citation of a NYT...

Anyone done this competition? 4 person teams. Looks pretty cool, 48 hours and a good mix of physical and shooting... maybe weighted towards the physical side. We have a good team with my 3 gun squad but not sure if a cross-country trip to Oregon is warranted.

Anyone have experience with the Seekins adjustable gas block? I am considering one but am concerned about clearance and access underneath a rail.

Been mulling over this one after reading a few different takes. It has so many angles to be played it's comical. In short, a “sleeper” case stemming from the apparent murder of a Columbia University professor six decades ago could keep Mueller from publishing information about the Trump...

I was posting in another thread when it got shut down, and rightly so. Because of the trolls, and because I know there are plenty who peek around a dark internet corner to read what goes on here, there is something I want them to read. Because many of them do not like what the Hide represents...

Adding to the recent threads about how fucked up social media is and what seems to be a never expanding group of people elbowing each other out of the way for the title of most fucked up person on the planet... I used to be horrified by elective plastic surgery gone bad (a lot of which the...

On 4/11 one of the Russian companies charged with interfering in the election notified Mueller and Judge Dabney Friedrich of the U.S. District Court in Washington that they had retained counsel. I was surprised, a lot of people were surprised, and it looks like Mueller has about shit his pants...

When the day is not going as planned, when you cannot reach through a phone to grab someone's neck... then the brown truck shows up with some boxes and the dogs erupt in a roar but you can't hit the mute button in time to avoid a conference call interruption... and you notice that one of those...
