    Sorry, it would have been late 2002 and early 2003.

    You are responding to a poster that if teleported back in time would have been happily posting links of articles and tweets about the Nigerian yellow cake scam in 2001 to justify the run up to the invasion.

    1000 yards might have been the measure of my youngest's ear to ear grin after putting together some shots on. There is something about a boy and a 22lr and a bunch of holes in paper that is just right and proper. We worked the safety rules, and he laid claim to the rifle on the ride home. That ain't happening, but at least there were no screens involved and we worked in some fresh air.

    Trying to make consistent sense around which posts on this thread get ghosted and which are allowed to stay up is hard.

    Certainly a factor. If only the influence was limited to evangelical fundamentalists. Their particular notions, that Jesus needs a well-lit landing strip in Jerusalem, that the modern nation-state of Israel is the biblical nation of Israel, and that war and conflict in the Middle East is God-ordained are toxic. But beyond that, you also see the bleed over into non-religious and the residuals in the formerly religious as well. Some of the core assumptions and aspects of their end times worldview lingers long after Sunday School is passed. End result is that the country of Israel is afforded a unique and special dispensation. Enough so that even when certain people see with their own eyes a US-funded ethnic cleansing exercise, it is hard for some of them to find a clear voice.

    And yet we continue to arm and fund Israel military activities and run interference at the UN and from the podium. Not only that, but we are using emergency declarations to expedite the process. Alternative approaches have been offered multiple times on this thread, including unleashing Mossad in targeted fashion against Hamas leadership. And yet we still have posters here deflecting from what is systematic collective punishment at best, outright ethnic cleansing at worst and throwing their hands up in the air saying, "what alternatives do they have?"

    I’m riding Amy either to the moon or to zero.

    But you see terrorism. Never mind that the nation of Israel was built on terrorism.

    A little goes a long way.

    lol. I haven’t had a shooter 22 in a long time. I hope I don’t bruise my shoulder.

    This is special.

    Yep. So here is a question. I picked up a ruger 10/22 picatinny rail, and only two of the holes lined up with the four holes on the receiver. Is that expected and ok? It came with a rail (didn't realize that until after I had already installed the one I bought and dug around the bag). Figure I should be ok to loctite two in and just plug the two inner screw holes back up?

    LOL. I think that I am going to need a more appropriate optic situation. But this should do for tomorrow. ETA: Better.

    Popped into a shop in spicewood and they had a 10/22 takedown lite. Taking the boys out tomorrow to punch some holes. Looks like a fun little gun. Waiting on a dead air mask to clear ATF jail.

    Unsurprised to hear crickets from you.
  16. Anastasis
    Good to see a check in from Mr decency Pax Americana every once in a while.

    Yep. Worst shit I saw was a bad batch of benzos from Mexico. This was in the timeframe that rohypnols were all over the place and some triazolam or some shit got mixed into circulation and a few kids locked up their jaws. Some time and Benadryl later and they were back to fighting form. These days they just dead with respiratory failure.

    It’s a hell of an environment to raise kids these days. In the 90s we could fuck around and find out was relatively mild unless you went off the rails. Oxycodone overdoses took a few of extended orbit acquaintances when that stuff came on the scene later. I can’t imagine what shit would have looked like with fentanyl laced Xanax and stepped on coke around every corner. It has to be literally zero tolerance, which is always an effective approach. Roll eyes.

    Oh Jesus man. Sorry to hear that.
  20. Anastasis
    Oh, and in terms of thought experiements regarding self-immolation, a little blast from the past.

    We need to send all of our State Department spokespersons through an in depth mental health examination prior to putting them up on the podium. Miller has been absolutely clowning himself lately, and laying bare exactly how shallow American policy is.

    Social media and AI tearing apart the social fabric of our society.

    Matthew Miller in rare form today. I miss Ned.

    Seems that a good number of posters fundamentally disagree with this statement? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    first, an egg lemon soup. The second, a salad. The third, venison pastistio. The fourth, smoked lamb shoulder on lentils, lemon sour cream dill mint situation.
