  1. Hell of a case of barrel droop there. Spring pistons are easy to work on with one exception, uncompressing the spring/getting it out of the air cylinder. The source for info and parts. https://www.jgairguns.biz/27-c-78_247_255/
  2. Sure it is. Your biggest problem, though, is figuring out who to sue and how to serve them.
  3. Ever been rebuilt? Probably has a leather washer on the piston, and while those are better than they sound, 75 some odd years has to be a record for longevity. Too bad he didn't luck into one of these.
  4. He needs that 350B to pay back all the illegal tariffs.
  5. Choot em! Choot em!
  6. As I have said before, academia is, by its very nature, liberal. And it therefore probably is somewhat a monoculture. And I think one can argue for more "conservative" scholarship without accusing the existing monoculture of being some woke consipiracy of DEI Marxists and trying to destroy it in favor of conservative scholarship. Other than adding a "conservative" scholar, who is truly a scholar and not some kind of demagogue, ostensibly subtracts a liberal scholar. "Best" is always subjective. It's one of those things where MAGAts seize upon a tiny kernel of truth and turn it into some kind of woke conspiracy with the worst possible solution.
  7. They will, but this particular effort is pretty lame. I'd love to see them put Andy Ogles in charge of the whole thing, though.
  8. Supposedly, Inboden hates Trump, or at least is opposed to him. His position at UT is outside of Civitas/Civic Leadership, but rather Strauss/Clements school, which is more traditionally Republican. So, he's definitely a representative of right wing academia, but probably still respects academic freedom. I mean, yeah fuck him, but enemy of my enemy type thing.

    I think liquor choices back then were rather prosaic.
  10. Guess that explains why it was filed in Texas court in Panola County. Removal then motion to transfer. Not sure why Panola County.
  11. https://thirdtermproject.com/ It is super srs, though. Andy Ogles and a constitutional amendment.
  12. The good thing about Long Walk, to me, is that it involves adolescent/young male characters, which King writes extraordinarily well, imo.
  13. Connecticut is pretty interesting. People don't think of it that way, but coastal New England is really its own rust belt. Shipbuilding and allied heavy industry that's fallen apart, leaving the economy in ruins save fishing, which has its own problems. Beautiful though.
  14. The acetaminophen/autism litigation commenced around 2022 with private plaintiffs. And the experts have already flunked Daubert and the MDL is verging on dismissal pending appeal to the Second Circuit. https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/MDL/22md3043 This is really untimely performative shit by Paxton. Complete tail-end Charlie.
  15. OL play took an immediate step up on Sark/Flood's arrival. That may have been a confluence of talent/scheme/coaching. What it didn't do was progress over subsequent years.
  16. Blinding glimpse of the obvious, but for Trump's stated objective of waging war on cartels (and allegedly cartel-friendly governments), this is extraordinarily cowardly and ineffectual. Only the fact that this occurs in international waters prevents these strikes from being major diplomatic incidents and obvious international crimes. I mean, they're already crimes, but striking sovereign territory would a) put Trump's money where his mouth is and also b) secure an international arrest warrant.
  17. Newport News, but Electric Boat has been the primary builder of US nuclear submarines in Groton, CT and Newport, RI. Electric Boat tried to buy NN, but antitrust concerns prevented it. That said, again for "fairness" or antitrust reasons, assemblies of subs are contracted out to various facilities. I assume that the Philadelphia facility would only build subassemblies.
  18. I bet whiskey Pete's dick twitches when he gets to say "lethal" and "kinetic." Also "opsec."
  19. We talking PCB, surface mount, or silicon here?
  20. Well, unless he's stacked the BOR of the UC System with hand picked bootlickers, or at least independent folks, who have in turn appointed bootlickers to the UCLA administration, he rightfully doesn't have much to do with it. This is where the earlier post about Newsom withholding state funding starts to gain a little traction.

    Bourbon didn't have much cachet back then, probably especially in the east.
  22. But you see, Biff, because it said Perry high school (not Perry County HS, the local one), multiple people was afraid to send their kids to school, so they done something about it.
  23. Plus, your needs late in life are almost sure to be smaller than earlier in retirement. Lot easier to go conservative/austere at 80 than at 65.
  24. This one precisely, not a Charlie Kirk meme.
