And we're up 30 cents in 24 hours here in fairview.

yeah I'm eating crow from that initial post - 60% of refineries offline. Potential flooding in Houston to be around until October. What's going to make it worse is when everyone panics and creates a self-induced shortage like they did when that small pipeline burst a while back.

Holy mother of revived random threads!

Clarksville News: 51 guns stolen from vehicles so far this year
Sam1 replied to FortKnox's topic in General Chat
The owners are to blame, 49 of 51 thefts showed no damage to the vehicle which means they were unsecured. 1 had door damage and 1 had a busted window which means only 2 of 51 thefts were legit. -
Awesome! If he's an apache mechanic make sure to instill in him early and often to keep his name clear and learn as much as possible to apply for a contractor job when his enlistment is up. Six-figures pretty much guaranteed because there's no schools that civilian mechanics can attend to work on those birds. Smart choice of MOS.

I think everyone is skipping over the obvious. These same people who are calling for violence are the ones who cry about gun control and yada yada. They don't have the stomach of stamina to do anything serious. What will happen is a few of the people will commit crimes, those people will be made an example of by the legal system, and when the others see that you can't actually complain your way out of felony convictions, they will cower back to puffing up their internet chests online on social media. And that's the way it will work out.

Not too high. Gotta remember, the middle east knows we're serious about spinning back up the frackers for the next 3.5 more years. Those big refineries aren't going to screw with us too much until a new administration comes in and tells us how bad oil is again.

What to do with your eclipse glasses (seriously)
Sam1 replied to monkeylizard's topic in General Chat
Me too, except NASA has the best videos so all I have to do is chase down a recent web link -
Completely forgot about Wolff, they made me a custom pistol recoil spring for a Bersa many moons ago. Thank you sir.

Anyone know where I could order a custom spring for a shotgun shell tube? Put an ATI extension on a gun that it wasn't necessarily designed for, and the spring doesn't have enough oomph to feed the last round. Need to order something that uses a larger diameter wire (already stretched it out about as far as it could go)

omg that is hilarious!

Insurance company isn't going to have access to your medical records to know what your cholesterol levels are, they will only see the charges submitted for the tests performed... not the results. HIPAA. I would assume it's just a paperwork mishap of some sorts, maybe an old medicine that was refilled or someone just clicked on the wrong name... could be a million things, but I doubt it is a conspiracy of sorts and your insurance company can not prescribe medications.

Belly landing an A-10 after canopy blows off/landing gear fails
Sam1 replied to Sam1's topic in General Chat
So what's the process after the do a crash landing like this? Do they disassemble pretty much the entire plane, or inspect it while it's together and remove/replace as little as possible? -

Sam1 replied to Sam1's topic in General Chat
That + a testament to bad assery of an A10. I can't believe they keep trying to get rid of the damn things... Upgrading these beasts would be much cheaper than designing a new one from scratch - and then you get into the issue of not knowing if the new aircraft will even be worth a dang. I say put more powerful engines on them, lighten the load and add more ammo -
This was quite the predicament http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/news/a27761/belly-land-a-10-warthog/

What are these 'Sunday clothes' that you speak of?
-
if you're not looking to do anything spectacular, just pick up one of the harbor freight welders. Stick welding is cheaper and simpler.

I'm not worried about us or dprk if they hit Seoul, I'm worried about the 25,000,000 people that live in Seoul metropolitan. If they start bombing civilians in that area, there will be a war like none of us have seen in our lives.
-
Well, I changed my attitude towards the whole thing as soon as China said they would stay neutral if Kim launched an attack first. With them at bay, we could decimate that entire country and turn it into a theme park.... As long as they don't hit Seoul first.
-
They have a limited number of nukes, they're not going to waste them on a 'maybe' worst case scenario, they launch some conventional warheads.

Just got an email this morning from Amazon.com telling me to trash my eclipse glasses because the manufacturer is not providing them with a copy of the ISO certification. And that they would refund. I wonder how many ten's of thousands of those are being tossed now. At least they are taking the responsibility of checking fakes.

Buddy got some 250gr hornady xtp .452 bullets instead of a .451 he's using Winchester 231 powder. All either of us can find is to use 5.1gr for 800-900fps. Does anyone have any other info on that setup by chance before he starts testing?

Don't actually do flavored water - got into a carbonated water kick in germany years ago and prefer it gassed up only.

Bought this as a beater gun, came in last week - chopped the shell tube so a remmy 870 +3 extension would fit on it and popped on a fast fire III. Since the optic was free last year, This guy is all in under $400. Not shabby for a 9 round semi 12ga. stock after

Yeah I was curious on how that is going to work cause you know the chinese knock-offs are just going to stamp that they are ISO certified and everyone will believe it.
