    Look up lost PLA casting.

    Supposed to storm all night and then clear up just after daybreak at our place in East Texas. That's as good of a recipe as any for them to be moving during the day given the warm temperatures.

    Did my first print of something that wasn't preloaded on the printer last night. Took me a bit because the flash drive that came with it was corrupted and wouldn't even format. Anyhow, I eventually found another one and was able to download the firmware updates and stuff and figure out how to use the slicer to print this guy. The first time I tried to print it without supports because I didn't think about the hands or back of the helmet hanging down. Stopped it and resliced it and got a pretty decent print. Gonna have to figure out how to fine tube the settings, but so far it has been pretty much plug and play.

    This thing is bigger than I had pictured in my head.

    It's a quick 4 hour drive from Austin.

    I've got an ffl who does transfers for $15 if you have an ltc. You need to find a good ffl.

    Done. For the most part.

    But, but, but, the zipper merge is more efficient!* *this doesn't take into account real world conditions, like how it only so many cars can pass a certain point at any given speed no matter how they merge, or the fact that zooming up to the last minute and merging in causes a yoyo effect that .makes traffic exponentially more dangerous for drivers upstream, or that it usually doesn't make a difference if the line in the left lane is a bit longer.

    It's been said, but parisa. Stuff is like crack. So good.

    None. Probably going to try starting out with some Christmas ornaments and hot wheels ramps and stuff. None. Probably going to try starting out with some Christmas ornaments and hot wheels ramps and stuff.

    I've got a $600 gift card to Amazon, and am looking to get a printer. I want something that can print in CF Nylon filament eventually. Looking at the R Qidi X-Plus 3 for the size of the bed and it's capabilities, but I'm open to suggestions.

    Wouldn't most 11u kids be 12 by now?

    A little slow, but did give me time to come to the decision that, given the opportunity, I would have intercourse with Mrs Saldana.

    It's less than half a second with a good lock and flint as long as you keep it clean. That's still enough time that you have to have good follow through. If you can shoot a flintlock well, you can shoot anything well. Here is my rifle, along with my shooting bag, new horn, and old horn. The rifle is a Pedersoli Scout in .50 caliber. It's not a proper longrifle, as it only has a 28 inch barrel. One of these days I will buy or build a proper one. The shooting bag I made myself. The fur is from the first deer I ever killed. It was also made using period materials. Interestingly enough, the black color is not from dye, it is from a chemical reaction using what is called vinegaroon. The other powder horn was "made" using a cheap pre-made horn and then extensively modifying it. The new one is the first I've made from scratch. Hanging from the old powderhorn is my powder measure and vent pick.

    The hunting should dictate the caliber, not the other way around, unless youare one of those poor souls like me who like to wander around in the woods with a traditional muzzleloader or something like that. There are plenty of new hot rounds out there that are great for their specific application, but if your application is taking 100 yard shots or 200 yards shots or whatever, you should pick a round that is made for that and is commonly available at any outdoors store near where you hunt.

    Finished making this powderhorn yesterday to carry with my flintlock just in time for hunting season. Everything was completely made by hand using period materials and no power tools.

    No, but we take the camper up to Arkansas and Oklahoma. An electric truck would be perfect for hauling short distances, projects around the house, filling up deer feeders, etc.

    My wife could destroy a wheel hub motor in record time.
  19. NotActuallyALonghorn
    My commute to work is like 25 miles, and our family land is about the same distance from where we live, so this would be perfect for most of the time. I would still need to keep my ICE truck for pulling, obviously.
  20. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Definitely want.
  21. NotActuallyALonghorn
    That's a big WTF. Shooting at steel targets at that range?
  22. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Couple months? It's a supe!
  23. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Lol, spares? Naw, we act surprised when some old piece of junk craps out and then the folks on the ground have to scramble to keep things running until the parts come in.
  24. NotActuallyALonghorn
    I bet if the statistics were available, they would show it's very easy to get away with murder as long as the victim isn't a white woman. Particularly one of means.

    Looks like there are ten episodes if wikipedia is to be believed.
