    ^ I'm with this guy, you don't need to sell your stuff, just start using reduced power loads when target shooting.  If it is still bad after trying some of them, you may consider going to .380/.22, but I think you'd be surprised how much recoil you can dial out of a round.

  Speaking of which, it seems there were insufficient funds to steal and pay my cable bill this month due to purchases at www myadultmantoys com.  What in the world were they selling that caused you to blow 3 months' pay in one day???

I understand it's 'not compatible' also know how expensive it is... Need to know if it's because of the installation being blocked or another issue. I've got some old installation scripts somewhere when we redeployed all of our installs that might be able to bypass the version check. On the VM thing, Autocad is already going to be killing resources, not sure it's going to work very well... that would be a better option if it was a workstation with some serious power.

  Could have, but also you have to think that once he is tied up and incapacitated, he could not have protected those same family members.  Be assured that I would use every option possible to get out of a situation, I refuse to rely on hope & change when under duress.

What specifically is he having an issue with? I (unfortunately) have some extensive experience deploying autocad & civil3d in all kinds of crazy configurations.

  Well, I figure if stripper names sound like expensive things, bankers should sound like they're from the streets.

Your banker name could be "Cash Money JoJo" :)

New laptops are being built with ir scanners already. Once Microsoft actually pushes something, the masses follow... and Apple will invent the same thing 5 years after Microsoft got it working.

You can skip all the password mumbo jumbo, most services offer 2FA systems now.  Hell, windows 10 is even set up to start doing retina scans, they're goal is to get people to stop using passwords altogether.

  Rumor has it that the oil companies are the ones that helped HD design their engines for free!   ;)

Particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan and it doesn't matter if it's fresh or old oil, they get picked up and put right back through the system.     We all look at it in different ways - somebody says grandpa used to do it every 2,500 miles and had drove that 1955 chevy from 1937 to 1996 with no issues.. and other people will say they just topped it off and let the angels keep their share and never had an issue.   I think you'll see trouble with whatever is causing the leak well before you see any trouble from not draining an oil pan though.

I think it's funny.  was here in the chatroom a month or two ago and some lady called me and started yelling "you're an asshole for what you did to our kids!"  "calling protective services on your own grandchildren, F*** U F this ***&^#  sucker Mother^^$(# We're gonna beat your ass the next time we catch you out in east Nashville!" and it went on for about 2-3 minutes.  The whole time I'm trying to get a word in and she just yells louder then hangs up.   When she hung up, I sent a text to that number that said "You should probably make sure you dial the right number before making an ass of yourself over the phone."  I was rolling over that one.   She actually had the kahunas to call back about 10 minutes later and see it was the wrong number, then laughingly apologize.    Love a good phone call like that!

Whew that looks like the stuff there!

I went through a couple different ones last year and ended up with a Gamo Whisper Silent Cat:  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gamo-Silent-Cat-.177-cal.-Break-Barrel-Air-Repeater-with-4x32mm-Scope/12537971   Does the job, and under $150.

First bottle of Dickel Barrel Select is down the tubes!  That stuff tastes like candy over ice... And even though I was informed it should be illegal to use it to make a whiskey & coke, it made the best one I've ever had.   Don't think I could go back to drinking the cheaper stuff any more.

  and donuts are about the only thing that car can do.

here's that video I was talking about, first one I've actually seen someone driving one of the 350's   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp9d-HhblD0

Wasn't that jupiter?

Check out the video of the gt350 at Goodwood last weekend, that thing was pretty awesome... may not have killer power, but that motor sounds awesome and turns some pretty good revs for a v8

Smoke from wildfires in canada, coming down about 2000 miles so you know it's a smokey mess up there.

  Doubt anyone is going to be doing a TTV8 anytime soon when you can crank 600hp out of a V6 and still meet the ridiculous emissions requirements coming out from the EPA without being considered a gas guzzler.

Torque is king! Nothing beats a good diesel, it's just a shame they are ruining them with DEF and whatnot.

    it's an issue because the professionals always seem to need to blame some thing and not some one. 

what kills me is how these idiots always need to blame some 'thing' and not the crazy lunatic thug that committed the crime.   On one hand I'm thankful they're not going after the guns blindly again (because he wasn't using one of those evil black rifles of mass destruction), but on the other hand, WTF does that flag have to do with anything?  Because the thug had one?  He also had an American flag, and obviously had a digital camera, why not ban cameras so no one can take photographs of things that offend people.   good grief.
