  1. Forced Reset Trigger if you can find. The fifth circuit just slapped the ATF's hand down with those.
  2. Hog's head cheese?
  3. You have strange tastes in museums.
  4. They didn't all have those choices. Maybe in some sense they did, but realistically they didn't. If you have a family, going to war or going to prison only to be sent to war isn't much of a choice. If you are too poor to flee the country that isn't much of a choice. If trying to surrender gets you shot by blocking brigades, not much of a choice. And what opportunity is there for an uneducated peasant to change their country? War is hell. It chews up and spits out the corpses of the innocent. That's no defense of Russia or any kind of statement about how Ukrain should do things differently. It's just a statement of fact.
  5. Yeah, probably so. Agreed, war is hell.
  6. Yeah, you have to be able to root for the guys who have been forced into a bad situation a bit. But then again, I'd like it even more of they just threw their hands up and surrendered to it.
  7. At that kind of range, they are still going to have a bad time. Those little wires you see sticking out of the front of the drones in all the vids? I'm pretty sure that if they touch each other it goes boom. A simple way to make it explode on contact. If you shoot one down, they are probably going to touch when it crashes.
  8. I wonder if Telegram homeboy's arrest ties helped put the last few pieces together.
  9. The Terror was a great premise, but the execution could have used some more development. Still a better arctic thriller/terror show than the last season of True Detective, though.
  10. I like how they list three professional sport associations and the just the entirety of soccer.
  11. Silt fence on a well pad in the middle of a nice humid East Texas summer. If you think regular T posts are bad, try driving midget ones.
  12. Good news for most of y'all.
  13. I'm so hoping there is an army of robot dogs sleeping under piles of rubble just waiting for the Russians to push far enough so they can all wake up at once, shake the dirt off, and start chasing down Russians.
  14. Just finished it. I watched it over the course of three nights, so basically like it was a miniseries. It worked well watching it like that. But I'm a sucker for historical dramas and particularly westerns. The need in me says they did a pretty good job with historical accuracy. Other than an over abundance of cartridge conversions, they had a wide display of firearms that would have been in use at the time period. The costumes were pretty good as well. But they went to all that trouble and then decided to call a Colt Dragoon revolver a Dance and brothers revolver. The Dance and Brothers revolvers were Texas made and fairly distinctive. This will not stand.
  15. That situation really calls for a giggle switch.
  16. I wasn't replying to Brisket in that post. But, anyhow, since the context was 2a, that should give you a starting point to figure out what laws have been passed and why they were passed.
  17. You're reading comprehension is pretty much non-existant. All I said is an estate tax of 50% above $1 million would either destroy agriculture or put it into the hands of big business. I'm honestly confused how someone with more than half a functioning brain cell could interpret that to mean that monopolies are good. This is probably dumber than the thread where several people showed a fundamental lack of understanding of Archimede's principle.
  18. So food costs would have to skyrocket? Agriculture is already a low enough margin business that you either have to inherit land or be a big business to be able to make a profit. If you take away both the former and the later you will destroy our ability to feed ourselves even quicker.
  19. Talks about equality, and then pushes for laws that put black people in jail for longer and then further marginalized them from the rest of society?
  20. Oh, good. A plan to transfer nearly our entire agriculture sector unto the hands of big business.
  21. Go look at r/guns or r/firearms and find the threads about this. They are very much anti-cop. Younger crowd, yes, but it's pretty much what I said.
  22. Just finished it. I enjoyed the parts where they linked everything to international politics and stuff, but they just kind of glossed over too much. The actual cowboy war was an afterthought, and they only hinted at some of the background stuff like his gambling business and how that effected things. It needed another couple of episodes to really round out the story.
