MacGyver

Good catch. That was Don - @Timestepper He was larger than life in a lot of ways.

If only...

It would appear they’re not quite at rock bottom yet: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/18/us/nra-josh-powell-tell-all-book/index.html Apparently there’s still a few bucks to be squeezed out of this thing. It’ll sure make the NY AG’s job easier when they turn on each other.

Most warnings on TGO are just that - sort of a timeout to cool down a bit. They’re temporary because the vast majority of people are able to check themselves in a setting that doesn’t lend itself well to nuanced expressions. The actions taken on the original thread were appropriate. It looked like a questionable sales ad - or a vendor trying to skirt the rules. The OP kind of lost it and made his demands regarding our staffing, board rules, etc. David said no. We moved on - until the thread this morning. We make decisions on moderators based on folks we think add to the community - and who are level headed. @Chucktshoes is such a benefit to this community. He is beyond tolerant of such diversity of opinions . He’s on a ton. He closed the thread - and like he said, all of this could have been avoided with a simple PM. Our mods do this out of the goodness of their hearts and their love of this community. Were in such crazy times. It’s a marathon not a sprint right now. Take a good deep breath. We don’t need anyone puking all over their shoes a couple months from now.

Sorry. That’s not how this works.

That’s super cool.

I'll shoot just about anything. But, I think I might think twice before I shot that.

Oh, I hate this. We’ll keep her in our prayers.

We’re probably in for a couple of bad weeks. https://asafenashville.org

If anything, that timing is likely to help the GOP more than it will the DNC. I think this gives weight to “they’ll take your guns” and some folks might vote Republican who might otherwise be kind of blasé this cycle.

Things are not getting easier for the NRA. Air your dirty laundry in public - turns out somebody might notice. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/899712823/new-york-attorney-general-moves-to-dissolve-the-nra-after-fraud-investigation Regardless of what you feel about the suit on its face - the NRA kind of walked into this with their lavish spending.

If y'all are seeing 1-3 days, that's way better than it's been in other parts of the state. At 8-14 days to get results back - I'd argue testing is worthless.

With an average of 8-10 days to get test results back - any employer is going to tell an employee to stay at home while they await the results. Because of the delay - you pretty much have to treat the interim time between getting the tests and getting the results as a presumed positive result. I'd love to see the actual text of the letter - because I expect it says something to that effect. It sucks. And, it's a solvable problem. But here we are.

Nashville is no longer the epicenter in Tennessee. As of this afternoon all counties are reporting community spread. Couple that with the number of rural hospitals we’ve lost in the last decade and this gets worse before it gets better. Y’all keep your heads down.

For a blade under 2", I might go with a Kershaw Scallion or Chive. Those are both assisted opening - and can be had for under $40 out the door.

14C28N hasn't been universally well received. It was developed for Kershaw who wanted something with corrosion resistance. It doesn't have the best edge retention qualities. Honestly, if I were going to go with an automatic - I'd probably stick to one of the known brands to avoid disappointment.

I'm obviously a Swiss Army knife fan. But, I love some of the classic slip joints that Great Eastern Cutlery has been issuing over the last few years. One of my current favorites is their #62 pocket carver: https://www.dlttrading.com/great-eastern-62-farm-field-pocket-carver-natural-linen-micarta-526 My all time favorite of theirs is a reworked sodbuster that Smith and Sons regularly puts out and calls the mudbug: https://smithandsonsknives.wazala.com/category/available-now/ Those are both 1095 carbon steel - so they're pretty easy to get blisteringly sharp.

He’s had a tough few years. His videos provided a lot of information when web video was still nascent. He’ll be missed.

Man, I might throw rocks before I paid $0.43/round for 9mm.

A hurricane in the midst of the pandemic has the makings of a worst case scenario from a first responder’s perspective. Here’s hoping they dodge the worst of the weather.

Don’t forget the NAA minis. They might be tiny - and reloads are out - but they’re well made pistols.

That’s weird.

Those look great

The double sided clip may be the greatest addition to flashlights since the LED.

We almost always use these holographic spinners from Walmart that come in a 5 pack. It’s the only place I’ve ever seen them. But they work.
