  1. I don't poke around in a lot of MAGA safe spaces on the interwebs, but most of what I've seen has been very much the opposite of your old man yelling at clouds take. This decision has potentially disastrous implications for those who care about a person's right to defend their self in their own home. What I've seen has been pretty much what has been said here with a more libertarian bent.
  2. Watched the first episode of Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War. Pretty interesting so far. Will keep watching.
  3. Not that I don't doubt that all kinds of shady stuff is going on with big data, but where are the whistleblowers? There has to be plenty of disgruntled employees spilling the beans. Or are they out there and don't get any attention because the folks who would facilitate that have skin in the game?
  4. Filoni gonna have to make an animated show to make sense of the sequels. And it will work. Somehow.
  5. Totally won't get sent straight to the front. Pinky promise.
  6. What if it takes you back to ancient Egypt. Then you come back and start a TV show about it, but no one believes you and you just become a meme?
  7. This is embarrassing.
  8. I need more tomahawks.
  9. So basically a DIY thermobaric bomb?
  10. My MIL will make a whole mess of burritos before a road trip. It's pretty nice just reaching back to grab a burrito when you get hungry. No need to stop or anything.
  11. My roommate in college had one of the old school ones. Was a fun little gun and I need one.
  12. How many pages of criticism did we have about maps and timeliness with GOT? It's line one of the themes at this point.
  13. Obviously never seen Bluey.
  14. Yeah. I'd put one in places like D'Hanis or Broaddus. .30-06 for sure though. 300 BLK for East Texas, though. .30-30 too.
  15. Can she rack the slide easily? That's the big question I would be asking. If not, revolvers are often underrated. They point better than most pistols. And if she is the type to train with it she can build the muscle memory to use one in single action mode while still retaining skill to shoot one double action. If she isn't, I would look for a 9mm striker gun that she has no problem operating.
  16. It's pretty much reached Monty Python and the Holy Grail levels. Hopefully, given another ten or twenty years we will be able to look back at it and laugh. Probably not.
  17. Picked up this Griswold and Gunnison reproduction a few weeks back. $250 from Midway.
  18. This is just my mom's portion and half of my aunt's (who has no kids) that will go to my brothers and me. Three kids for me and just one for my older brother. Not expecting any from my younger brother. Older brother and niece live in Montana, so I don't see then having string opinions on how it is managed and there is a good chance I buy him out one day.
  19. Yeah, I was leaning LLC because of all the reasons stated, but was mainly curious if there are pitfalls I haven't thought about since her lawyer seems to be strongly against it.
  20. Are you talking about a divorce or paying movers?
  21. I said financial advisor, but what I meant was estate lawyer. So she is going to get paid. I just hate to see the land divided up so much. If we go that route, each of my kids has ten acres to look forward to. And land fragmentation is a pretty serious issue, not just with regards to how it is managed, but ecological issues as well.
  22. Here's a picture of one of them from a couple years ago chucked up in my very dirty flintlock after a long shooting session.
  23. I thought it pretty obvious that that is a broken point made from obsidian. The other stuff is really what I was curious about. Some of it is almost glass like in it's translucency. Yet it is tough enough to last just as long as a piece of English flint when I manage to knap a piece into the right shape to use in my flintlock. My understanding is that quartz us generally too brittle to last more than a few shots when used as a gun flint.
  24. So is the consensus that a jointly owned LLC is the way to go? My mom is trying to set up her estate right now and her financial adviser feels strongly that it isn't a good idea. Her share of my grandfather's land is about 90 acres of east Texans timberland (was pasture when I was a kid) and my brothers and I don't want to see it get split up into smaller and smaller pieces.
