Fat Bastard

Anyone have any experience with or have friends who have the BMW M8 Gran Coupe? Ever since I got rid of my M5 been itching to get another M car. Love the way the 8 looks. Need 4 doors unfortunately

What’s the latest with the brace bullshit? Hold off on registering?

Shooter deserves a fucking plaque and day named for him from CoH. Head shot at the end was chef’s kiss

It’s piss

No, it’s not. You don’t get intubated and then extubated within 2 hours unless it was a self extubation. They probably have him on some significant sedation just so he doesn’t yank at his tube. They’ll reassess in the AM with a cxr and SBT.

haven’t read the whole thread, but my $0.02: My (biased) opinion - something like wpw or a channelopathy like Brugada or long qt syndrome. Remember reading that’s how Hank Gather and Reggie Lewis died if true he got cpr/defibrillated, 100% chance they’d tube him for airway protection. Probably nothing to do with his presenting sign, just for protection

Remind everyone of your specialty again?

Took boy out to range again today. Practiced eye-dominance at home and he’s very clearly left handed and right eye dominant. Will pose some challenges for him in the future as he’s gonna have to get confident holding heavier weapons with his right as he gets older but this .22 is no problem for him. Took him out to 15 yards today and really focused on accuracy and precision. Had tight groups when he took his time, practiced his breathing, and firing. When he thought he had it down and tried to go faster is when he started to spray about 2” off target. All in all, a very productive day. Tonight, we clean the rifle

Nah, don’t really care if he shoots righty or lefty. He seemed to do just fine with shooting righty. Main reason I wanted him to shoot righty with this rifle is the ejection port is on the right. Will work on finding out his eye dominance pretty soon. This exercise was mostly for him getting the steps/safety down. We practiced at least 50x at home with eject-safety-load-trigger discipline-acquire-hot-shoot before we even went to the range and he fumbled a couple of times but by shot 50-75 he had it down perfectly. if anyone has any other suggestions I’m all ears. Don’t claim to be an expert or anything.

Gave the boy his CZ 457 Scout for Xmas. He was absolutely floored. Took him to the gun range the next day. Spent a lot of time just going over a cadence that he can make sure is reproducible with every shot and I was very impressed with his composure and maturity (something he hasn’t shown much of when dealing with his little brother). As an aside, was hilarious to hear his little brother (7) say when he realized his older brother got a real gun, “I can’t live in this house anymore! He’s gonna shoot me!” Put about 150 rounds through it that day. About 75 at 5 yards and 75 at 10 just using iron sights. He’s a lefty, so took him a few attempts to get the hang of positioning with the stock on his right but he got it down like a champ. The target he’s holding up was the last 40 rounds or so. Center at 5 yd head at 10. He asked for bbq for lunch and we sat outside at Pit Room eating our hearts out. Was just about the most perfect 4 hours I’ve ever spent with him 1:1 since, ever. Hoping for more.

Went with the CZ 457 Scout. Thanks everyone for the opinions. Going to get the boy started on iron sights before I move onto optics. what do y’all think is the right move? Something like a 1-6 or 1-8 lpvo or a 2-7 or 3-9? Definitely want illuminated reticle and decent glass. Trying to stay ~ $500 or less. dont want it to be too heavy. Going to start him out at 10-25 yards and don’t think he’ll really ever get past 50/100 with this, if that helps. Mostly for plinking with a rare varmint here and there

Need recs on a .22LR for the soon to be 10 year old boy. Have looked at the Ruger 10/22 and Savage FV and while both look great, mostly plastic stocks. Is there anything else maybe in the $5-800 range that could be more heirloom-y? It’s his first gun so would like for It to be special - if something nice would engrave it too.

This must be amazing for the recruits visiting.

When India and China start giving a fuck about global warming, so will I. In the meantime, I’m gonna eat beef.

Coq-10 doesn’t enhance statin effectiveness. It *can* mitigate some of the myopathy that comes with taking a statin, so if it’s a question of coming off your statin for muscle aches vs taking it and trying the coq-10, I always recommend the latter. Now, there are some phenomenal new non-statin based injections you can self-administer every 2 weeks if you are statin intolerant or have familial hypercholesterolemia. re: taking the statin at night, I tell my patients to take it at night not because of any bullshit about you more likely to having an MI during sleeping hours, but should you have any of the side effects, they occur while you’re sleeping at peak therapeutic levels.

This is obvious. Guy was free-balling. Had to take a shit. Got 90% clean by TP but swamp ass accounted for the remaining 10% sliding onto shorts with smearage.

Q the Fix. Skeletonized stock. Little over 2k tho

A) I still crate my dog at night B) If a would be intruder entered and my dog wasn’t crated, fucker would grab a tennis ball and beg thief to play with him.

Also, I’m guessing you want to stick around the $60k mark. Not sure if you’ll be able to grab an amg gt 43 that’s used at that price point, but they look great.

If you’re looking at used, I’d personally look at the CLS (previous body style). Even though it’s built on E class chassis, it looks substantial and as formidable as an S class IMO. The new CLS’s have been completely emasculated and look like shit. Can probably nab a v8 (non-AMG) and have a blast

Discussion of home defense above got me thinking. Clearly, most of us own guns and *hopefully* keep a vast majority of them locked up in a safe. So, in the event of a home invasion, those are not reliably accessible in time, IMO. What do y’all keep at the ready for just that reason? mine is a Sig P365x that I have in a small 4 digit password guarded safe in the drawer of my nightstand. Obviously, I’d like to keep either my honey badger or sp5 on standby for such an event, but with 3 little kids running around, not very practical

Genesis Arms Gen-12 short barreled shotgun. Shut up and take my fucking $$. I so desperately need (don’t need) this.

These aren’t depreciating assets anymore (at least for the very short term). I’ve been offered $20k more for my amg than what I bought it for new <2 years ago. Fucking crazy.

Anyone have any experience with Meridian Defense AK’s? Thinking about ordering a “Pestilence” model

Question on trusts. I have a trust set up for my suppressors. *in case* any gun laws are enacted can I put all my rifles/guns in the trust too so that I may pass them down to my sons or is that just for NFA items?
