G27

Assuming everything is working properly post earthquake, tsunami and explosions... Based on how everything that could go wrong has to this point, I suspect power to the plants will be met with some other issues.

What a pant load.

Sorry to hear, Mike.

Awesome update, thanks!

Prayers lifted.

I usually just hit them with this: You're sitting at your kitchen table when a crazed man kicks in your front door. He sees you and runs towards you wielding a knife with an 8" blade. You have a cell phone and a gun sitting on the table in front of you but you can only grab one - which do you grab? They can 'yeah but' all they want after that, but either answer and the argument is over: either they are willing to die for their beliefs (in which case discussing it further is silly), or they will react as most every human on the planet would and defend themselves (so further argument is moot).

Four letters may be the default setting (I thought it was three, but it's been a while since I looked) but that's adjustable in the admincp. But that's not the issue, I'm getting returns by adding the wildcard (*) - it's just missing many of the recent threads / posts...

Hey David, hope you're well. For some time now I've noticed the search function seems to hit or miss, mainly miss with newer threads. As a test, I did a forum search for "sks*" (no quotes) as I know there are two current SKS threads in the long gun forum, and neither thread returned on the search. Is there a chance you could run a rebuild of the search index (or something similar, if needed) on the VB installation? I'm not sure what else could be causing this, but it makes searching for threads difficult. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Or you could just get these: WaterBOB®: emergency drinking water storage

Microwave ovens only shield - tada! - microwaves. The holes in the screen dictate the smallest wavelength it will block. IOW, an EMP would easily swamp anything inside a microwaves...

Wow, you're going to go there, really? Since I didn't serve, I'm neither a true patriot or a genuine supporter of our troops?

^^^^ Newton's third law in action.

Go watch Restrepo and you'll be more disgusted than ever over the coverage of a self-absorbed druggie or some natural disaster in another country. America is forgetting about the brave men and women who lay it on the line every day in Afghanistan and Iraq because the media is feeding them so much bullcrap that doesn't matter on iota. The sad part is most folks think talking about these stupid fads are cool and hip, while we have people literally dying for them daily. I'm more and more convinced every day that this country is done. We're Rome II.

Corrosive, right?

This.

Sniping is where it's at.

Now THAT'S good news! {/sarcasm}

Doesn't a rifle >.50 require some sort of tax stamp?

+1. It makes a pretty big statement, imo.

That's flippin awesome, congrats!

This thread is the perfect example of exactly what the powers that be want - people expelling energy over semantics and insignificant issues while the larger issues loom over us. Keep your eye(s) on the ball...

In December 2009 I was shocked when I stepped on the scales and found I weighed 291 lbs. Started working out every day, watching my diet, and lost about 80 lbs last year. Started P90x yesterday, am excited by the workouts already. I've always been an athlete, so getting fat was out of character for me. I'm happy to be getting back into shape...

Picked up my Norinco from a friend a couple of years ago, one of the last ones made with the blade, I think: Love that rifle.

Who knew Chris Matthews had moved to Nashville?

Nice. Looks like you'll be able to climb a vertical wall...
