I’m not sure of the head shape of your ratchet, but that’s one of the things you have to take into account. @Capbyrd this is more your wheelhouse. Care to lend your google-fu skills to help him get that ratchet back cranking?

You know, for less than $20 you can buy a repair kit for that ratchet and get it back in service.

They absolutely aren’t. Stanley owns them now and they are built in the same factories in China that build most any of the consumer grade/house tool brands.

Depends. Was it baked in an oven or on the side of the road? I’m serious. I’ll try pretty much any critter that has meat. I mean, hell, have you ever seen a live shrimp before? Who was the first person who looked at that and decided that it might be tasty? Humans are omnivores and pretty much the very first thought we could have was probably along the line of “that looks interesting, I wonder if I can eat it?”

Let me know if any strays pop up and I’ll consolidate them.

American fanny, right? I hope so, otherwise you’d really be in trouble.

The only way to build a strong immune system is to exercise it.

The plain. I find it much more aesthetically pleasing than the black. Something about wooden toys looking like wood just strikes me as right.

None in the least. Meat is meat.

I’d be down to try it. As far as I’m concerned any meat producing critter has the potential to end up as dinner.

Whelp, that post just cost me $94.

I always really dug her channel. Don’t know where she went, but wished she still made videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/faliaphotography

A single .22 shot and you coulda had a tasty dinner there. Just saying.

I’ve had the joy of working with the Fostech’s main competition, the Franklin Armory BFS III binary trigger. It’s all in the timing of the trigger pull and release. Play with it a little and you’ll find the correct rhythm for the most accurate and controllable fire in its binary mode.

Pretty much.

I’d mostly agree with this except for one snag. It doesn’t apply to our situation. That’s why I brought up having different worldview. For it to apply we would have to assume that folks have the same end goal in mind and that a common path forward can be found to that goal of only we think hard enough about it. I no longer believe that. The world I want to live in and the world leftists want to live in look very little like each other and no amount of critical thinking will get folks working at cross purposes to the same place. They are thinking very clearly, they just don’t want what you want.

No, it isn’t. It makes folks feel good to think that the other side is dumb or unthinking, but the truth is that many of them just have a worldview that is diametrically opposed to yours, or mine (which are very different from each other). A lot of these folks may intentionally ignore things that they don’t want to see, but that doesn’t make them unthinking, just human. Most all people do that to some extent or another. I do my best to never allow myself to fall into the trap of believing my opponents are dumb. Some of them may be crazy, or just plain evil, but they aren’t dumb.

The thinking left really is upset with Robert Francis because he is laying the truth of what they’ve been after out there. After decades of denial, one of theirs was dumb enough to be honest. I say the more we can signal boost his words, the better. Don’t let them get away with the lies that they don’t really want to confiscate and ban them all again. Make them wear Robert Francis and his words like a millstone around their necks for all of eternity.

Spicy times are coming folks.

I was just trying to crack a joke, I wasn’t fishing for compliments. Seriously though, thank you. It’s an honor to be able to serve this community that has given me so much for over a decade.

I had to read a bunch of posts from folks cranky about the subject on both sides in this thread making sure everyone behaved.
