  1. Yeah, but putting a carbine upper on it makes it too unwieldy to shoot with just a brace, which demonstrates intent to shoulder it, which means it has been redesigned as a rifle and once a rifle, always a rifle, which means you'd better get rid of the 10.5" upper unless you have another pistol lower or and SBR lower or you risk showing constructive intent to create and unregistered SBR.
  2. If you ever instal that upper on it,it becomes forever a rifle and reinstalling the pistol upper makes it an SBR no matter how the brace thing shakes out, if I recall correctly. But who TF even knows anymore?
  3. The new rules are BS, but it isn't too terribly difficult to comply. Not that they will last long. And if you still have the upper than you still have a potential SBR. Much more so if you put actual rifle stocks on all of your lowers. Constructive intent and all that. The best thing to do is run a tight ship and wait.
  4. I think a lot of the big metro areas are still growing enough to support these prices for now, but small town Texas has seen the same crazy price increases despite there being no underlying reason for them other than prices have increased in the city. It wasn't sustainable before inflation really took off, and it isn't sustainable now. Lower end wages in these areas have increased, but not the wages of most of the folks who would be buying these homes. As factors like in the OP set in, and as people who stretched their budget before inflation to buy a house in these areas that was 40% than the previous year start to feel the pain, I expect there will be a reckoning. Will it work it's way into the cities that are growing? I dunno. But for small town Texas there really isn't a good way out of this.
  5. No comments on the sky penis? Y'all are slipping.
  6. Halfway through the latest episode, but I had to stop by to say that Chloe Grace Moretz would have been pretty much perfect casting for Ashoka Tano. Every scene she is in I can't help but think about how she not only looks like her, but she embodies the energy that she has as well.
  7. 1899 was definitely worth wwatching. It was nothing jaw dropping or anything, but I don't regret watching it.
  8. Well, to be fair, they also wrote Declan on another one.
  9. Taking turns playing on my grandad's old tractor.
  10. I'm jealous of y'all out farther west. I hunted all evening out here in the piney woods of Panola County and didn't see anything. We're all timber, and with enough oak trees on the place that there are still plenty of acorns on the ground. The deer could care less about corn, so you pretty much have to get lucky to even see anything.
  11. Whether or not you can legally carry a handgun into a bar is tied to it's status according to the crooks at TABC. If they make 51% or more of their income from the sale of alcohol for on premises consumption, then it is illegal to carry. If not, then it is perfectly legal. Now, keep in mind that this metric is also used for lots of other stuff that affects how much revenue they bring in and how much taxes they have to pay, so there are reasons to manipulate it.
  12. Nothing says class like last years empty beer bottle holding open the window of your blind, which, in a previous life, was actually one of crappiest travel trailers you can imagine only if you don't suck at imagining crappy things.
  13. Anybody got any decent updates more recent than Sunday? Did they kill all the protestors, or what?
  14. They probably just have the traditional veg tanned leather insole. If you go with those, it will mold to your feet as you wear them.
  15. Well, technically it was another website. Surly's record is spotless.
  16. Only three months? Nice.
  17. Yeah, but most of them didn't come from countries we were at war with.
  18. If you are American, your ancestors did something about their situation. They got up and went to a new place for a fresh start. For many of them, that new place was hostile, and they had to fight to survive. And it turned out the old place was still trying to screw them over, so they had to fight a revolution and kick the king's men out. Some of them moved to Texas for a fresh fresh start, and had to fight another revolution. If you're ancestors goes back very far, revolution is pretty much bred into you as an American. But even if it doesn't chances are your ancestors were the kind who got up and left their old country to go somewhere new. Old World countries? Well, there's just been pretty much the same people for hundreds or even thousands of years. Doing nothing but get by.
  19. They don't need to recycle or compost it or anything. The entire planet is one giant city. I'm pretty sure they have to export their waste and import their food. Somebody has the job of flying big ol' shit ships around the galaxy to sell to the highest bidder.
  20. Yep. Sorry, but allowing refugees to claim asylum from a country we are actively in a proxy war against is too dangerous. If Russia has any competency left, they are likely trying to send foreign agents as refugees into our and our allies' countries.
  21. I cuff my jeans that are made for wearing boots if I find myself wearing said jeans with other shoes, mainly so they don't drag the ground in the back. But not while actually wearing boots.
  22. I think his clientele at his shop is far too exclusive for him to have previously been someone too prominent. Of course, this is Star Wars, so change out your hair and nobody recognizes you.
  23. Why not just put a regular door in and then have a safe door behind the regular door?
  24. Mexico is putting that KSA goal keeper to work.
  25. SFA spent a lot of money on campus improvements starting around 2004, so they'll be paying for them for quite some time, and a fear of enrollment drop offs could definitely be a factor.
