  1. It's been said, but parisa. Stuff is like crack. So good.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Wouldn't most 11u kids be 12 by now?
  5. A little slow, but did give me time to come to the decision that, given the opportunity, I would have intercourse with Mrs Saldana.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. My wife could destroy a wheel hub motor in record time.
  11. 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.
  12. Definitely want.
  13. That's a big WTF. Shooting at steel targets at that range?
  14. Couple months? It's a supe!
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Looks like there are ten episodes if wikipedia is to be believed.
  18. They actually slipped in the three big gun safety rules in a Hollywood production all casual like. Should have tossed the fourth in there.
  19. Has your phone been having relations with @Handcruser's phone?
  20. Dino nuggets out of the air fryer for the win.
  21. Biologist at a deer breeding ranch. Working the deer through the chute, bottle raising fawns, etc. As the fawns get older they get pretty hangry around feeding time.
  22. Been there. They look cute, but those hooves are sharp.
  23. The theory of evolution was a pretty extraordinary claim when it was first proposed. Yet we really don't have any instances of extraordinary proof. Because that's not actually how science works. What we do have is an extraordinary body of small bits of evidence.
  24. The *for no particularly good reason* part is the flaw here. It's not exactly disputed history that the US government created Project Blue Book with the intention of misleading our Soviet adversaries. There are plenty of documents out there that also confirm that part of the mission of Blue Book was to obscure things we couldn't explain by flooding us with things we could. So there's one good reason, given the politics at the time. But if you assume for the sake of argument that we somehow recovered an interterestrial craft of some sort, what would the consequences be? Obviously we would try our best to reverse engineer it. What sort of secrets would we unlock? Anything with the capability for interplanetary travel would obviously need to have an energy source that is pretty impressive. More so than anything we have that us publicly known. And the only things we know about that fit that description also happen to be pretty handy for making bombs out of. Any source of energy that is dense enough to break the laws of physics as we know the can be weaponized.
