Is this a serious question? Ever heard of HPV vaccine? It’s gonna save millions of women from cervical cancer in the coming generations. “Cancer” isn’t just one thing. It’s hundreds or thousands. As the husband of a physician it’s pretty offensive (not really I don’t care what y’all do or do not believe) that people think that cures would be suppressed for money. They amount of universal collusion it would require to keep that farce going is virtually impossible. Much like the idea that Covid-19 is a ploy to manipulate humanity. I just don’t believe that many people can all agree to follow the same plan for such a thing to be successful

I don't have the patience to read this whole thread but I feel confident people are being scared by hyperbole and misinformation. I can understand why we don't trust the government on the surface as its failed us too many times but I don't think we should apply that skepticism to the point of folly. We you say "we don't know the long term ramification of this vaccine" you haven't researched it very much. This is not new technology, its acutally over 30 years old. They've been researching this vaccine mechanism for a very long time. "So why haven't we had this type of vaccine before now?", because thankfully we haven't had a widespread pandemic significant enought to warrant the human trials. Ebola, Zika, West Nile are all candidates but infections were not enough to be able to study the results (thank God, aint nobody want Ebola). The biggest concern with the vaccine is allergic response. Yes you will feel bad the day after, especially the second shot, but no you did not actually get COVID-19 from the shot. Its just your bodies immune system creating the defenses it needs to make you resistant in the future. The vaccine made it to production so quickly thanks to the 30+years of research before hand, without that it would likely not have happened. I can put my tinfoil hat on a empathize with those that are skeptical about the viruses origin and certainly how the government has leveraged us for its own gain to the determent of thousands of small businesses and personal finances across the country. But none of that leads me to a point where I don't want a vaccine. Obviously because I took one and get my second shot next Thursday and anxiously wait the opportunity to be "immuno-prepared" (i know that's not a word) for getting back to normal.

Well I said I would take one the moment it was available. Here it is.

Im actually shocked that anyone in fentress county hasn’t seen any hogs. We used to manage 25,000 acres up there and it was flat out covered with hogs. One neighbor farmer killed 35 in one weekend. as for Tennessee as a whole we have plenty of hogs but nothing compared to some other southern states especially Texas. A few years ago TWRA took hogs off the big game species list making them illegal to hunt. Now you can still kill them on private property and such but the biggest problem was commercial hunters and guides were transporting wild hogs all of the state to make a profit. So delisting the hogs made it easier to prosecute and cite anyone who had hogs. Hogs are one of those things that we’d never eradicate. Not enough hunters or trappers anymore to even make a dent.

yeah that's complete horse dung. Old boars can be very gamey and not very good to eat or even old sows can not be very good. But like @MacGyver said the younger or midaged ones are pretty good. I knew a guy in Crossville that loved to hunt them so much he had more meat than he could eat so he would give me sausage patties. They were so lean you would have to add a little oil to the pan when frying, but they were delicious.

My wife is a physician and she got hers last week. Her hospital is very similar to what @btq96r outlined above. One note on the question about mobile hospitals is even if they have the need they likely don't have the staffing to support one without using the national guard (which is possible) but I just don't think most states are to that critical state just yet. I agree with hospital front line staff getting it first as they are the most important defense at keeping most people alive, covid or non-covid related. The vulnerable population are close to follow and we should see an increase in availability soon. What we have to keep in mind is this is a 2 dose vaccine so when you hear numbers about total doses sent to states or regions they must reserve half of those for the second application otherwise this is all for not. I don't think at this point they can reliably expect to have enough doses in the future so they will set them aside now just in case. So if you hear news people losing their #### about officials setting doses aside or reserving them this is the reason.

Yeah those tops are very heavy, I can imagine taking them off was a huge pain. But now they have aftermarket soft tops which are super cool IMO

Man that is one clean 4runner. Might be too clean for what I need haha. I'd take a 22RE any day, but I will likely avoid the 3.0. It was an option in some 1988's and all 1989's and those years are less desirable for that reason. Many have swapped a 3.4 into those and had great results. My preference would be a 1985 that had both 22RE and solid front axle but those are getting hard to find in todays market

hahah, so we have 3 garage spaces a double car in the back and a single car towards the front. All the crap is in the single car garage. But soon I will be building a workstation and cabinets in front of the GX so no doubt the accumulation of crap will begin in this garage.

I think they design is cool and I'd buy one if money were no object. Reality is though I'd have to trade my Lexus GX460 for one and I'm not sure I'm willing to do that for a year 1 production. I'll probably just keep the GX and buy and 1st Gen 4Runner as a toy to keep me happy. That's today's prediction, tomorrow may be different haha

Any water below a damn like Norris will fish well all year. The water comes off the bottom of the reservoir so is mostly consistent temp aside from the solar heating in the summer. You won’t get may fly hatches so nymphing is the ticket. I can’t speak to the French broad but any freestone stream that holds trout will be slower in cold water temps (below 50), but fish still gotta eat, they just don’t move far so you gotta out that fly right in their face. So finding spots where trout will hold is very important. Like pocket water, riffles to the side of rocks, anywhere were food is funneled and they can sit and eat without expending much energy

It breaks my heart to read his messages here about being ill and scared and to now know he didn’t make it is truly saddening. I met Mike a few times in person and always enjoyed hearing his stories of the music industry. RIP my dear friend my prayers are with his family now

I bought a .30 YHM Phantom M2 QD and love it. I use it on everything that’ll fit down the tube. .22, .300BLK, .308, .223. Yes it’s not as quite as dedicated .223 but it’s good enough, as Rotten mentioned above .223 is loud no matter what you do. Most of the suppressor use is with .300blk just because it works so damn well. I have a bolt gun and it’s silly quiet. If I buy another it will be a dedicated .22 just because they are inexpensive and will save lead build up on my .30 cal

Nah, I’ve had a beard that big in recent past but that’s not it. That’s John Noveske this is me

bingo bango

I'd take it tomorrow if they offered it. My wife will likely get one in mid-late December as her hospital already has 900 doses in route. They will not be given a choice, it will be a condition of employment. I'm not sure the chart is correct as far as I've seen they have not trailed the vaccine on any children. My wife(physician) seems to think they will actually be last on the vaccine list unless they are otherwise immunocompromised. I think most people who don't want to take it are just scared that it was rushed through the system, and will have major health implications later. Most of us have never seen a vaccine trial like this in our lifetimes, even the old folks, its never been done. Timelines are stretched when emergency status isn't warranted, but when the world is facing major infections they can get the same work done just much faster.

She had colon cancer in 1999 and then they discovered Pancreatic in 2009 due to the regular screenings she was receiving because of the first one. Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer is a no doubt death sentence, just a matter of how it responds to treatment and where is has spread.

I saw a listing today of some bull#### brass .223 500rds for $450. It’s really ridiculous

Awesome! Was this self supported hunt? I've been looking at getting a guide hunt in NM or AZ maybe next year with the intent of gaining enough knowledge to go alone or with my boys when they get bigger

Ahh terribly sad, a true legend

I actually think its an ultralight not an Accumark, that was my mistake. My uncle purchased it and quoted the $2499 new price. I agree with all the other statements and appreciate your input

Yeah, they told me the biggest issue is moisture and you can co trail that with a dehumidifier. I was the same as you in thinking that it should go inside. I’m not worried about theft as much as child safety and general nosy guest safety. If someone wants something they’ll likely get it if they have enough time. Adding a switch to the hole alarm is a cool thought I may do. Bolting them down is the biggest theft deterrent as event the less expensive safes need to be laid down for easiest access. We could put it in the master closet but would have to remove some custom shelving and not sure that’s what I want to do. I have an office that I’m really leaning towards as a likely indoor location. I want it indoors mainly because I’m a pussy and don’t want to sweat while fondling my guns daily

Probably be 950# ish. I’d pay the company to deliver but do you think it would risk damaging the stair treads?

So I’m looking to purchase a gun safe and need some opinions. The Safehouse in Knoxville recommendation was to put the safe in the garage and bolt to concrete. They said that safes inside a home are often total losses in a catastrophic fire. Placing the safe in a garage gives the safes fire rating a fighting chance at saving your contents. That’s all well and good, but I hate the idea of going out in the garage to access guns or valuables. the house is two story on a crawl space. The downstairs is all 4” red oak hardwood floors as is the common areas upstairs, and the upstairs bedrooms are carpet. I have various location both downstairs and upstairs to place the safe. On the carpet I’d lag it down no problem but what do folks do on hardwood? tl;dr - does anyone put safe on hardwood floor and if yes, do you bolt it down? If no, are the options to keep from tipping over. Kids safety is the main issue for purchase to begin with

It’s a sign of the current state of the market. Huge demand low supply. Manufacturers learned in 2012 they don’t have Toni crease capacity as the demand will level off eventually. Prior to Covid and election year the firearms and ammunition market was pretty soft.
