Sorry to hear that. It's a bad day for sure.

Right, won/loss record is nearly meaningless when you have a rich and loyal fan base who will spend lots of money traveling to a meaningless football game. If they get a bowl game, it'll be somewhere warm.

Because everyone should have one of each, two of some, three of many....

I lost all interest in NASCAR in the aftermath of Dale Sr's death. They handled that situation horribly. Shortly after that it switched from being about racing to being about entertainment. It's become a medium for marketing, the "racing" is secondary. As for tool boxes.... pros with lots of heavy tools need a pro quality box. The average shade tree handyman will be served just fine by the consumer grade stuff.

Like this.... https://www.corneredcat.com/article/running-the-gun/rack-the-slide/ This, and getting her past the notion that she might hurt the gun, made all the difference for my wife. Obviously this is written with women in mind, but is applicable to anyone with low grip strength.

Are the springs prohibitively expensive? If not, just try it and see. Either it works or it doesn't.

Sorry Doug. It gets better with time.

I didn't typically tip my barber. My haircut is simple and I figured $10 for 10 mins of work was a pretty good wage, well above my hourly rate. When I had kids, I did start tipping for the aggravation/patience in dealing with my squirmy kids. But after a few of those multi-hour $40 trips to the barber, I bought some clippers, gave them to my wife with a couple YouTube videos and said, "have at it". She does a pretty good job. Though one could argue paying the barber $40 is much cheaper.

The Gruden and Manning rumors are just wishful thinking. Gruden already gets paid more than UT can afford for doing very little actual work. On what planet would he want to quit his cushy day job to take on the 20/7 job of cleaning up a decade of disaster? Manning already has more money than he knows what to do with. His aspirations are far bigger than trying to coaching a team out of the dumpster. UT has got to stop looking for instant glory and find someone who can rebuild the program by motivating the kids to perform to a high moral standard both on and off the field. That's gonna take a few years and the fan base is gonna have to accept that.

It'll make good gangsta sights.

I found my low-left problem to be anticipating recoil with my support hand. So I practiced shooting one handed (really slowly) a bit and my accuracy/consistency improved. Then I added my support hand back with a light grip and slowly added tension to improve recoil control. Basically, I learned that the "crush the gun" idea doesn't work for me, or takes more practice.

I agree with respect to the attitudes. They are still kids, but at the same time, they've got to grasp the idea that they have to be responsible for their own actions. As for the booting them from the team causing recruiting difficulty... the last decade of poor performance has taken care of that. I'd say that contributes significantly to the issues (such as the photo above) they have with the kids on the team now.

Stay classy. It'll be years before they contend. They've got a decade of damage to undo.

Nice try, but I don't believe for a second that humor was your initial intent. You may be used to other forums where it's common for members to give each other a hard time, drop f-bombs, and the like. We don't do that here. The idea is to keep this family friendly. Read the code of conduct. I'll reiterate my suggestion to dial back the rhetoric and agree that stopping here is a good idea.

Dial back the rhetoric a notch or three and don't be so quick to judge. More than a few of us have met dolomite, heard the stories, and understand why he does what he does. You'll be hard pressed to find a more respected member of this community.

Neato! We've got 2 small plastic printers at work and another big metal capable printer at another location.

Same as several... I have kids so I rarely have more than $50 in cash on me. I use my cc most of the time, but will use cash for small stuff or at specific businesses. I only use my debit card at the ATM. Never use a debit card anywhere else. If it gets stolen, you have to deal with an empty or overdrawn bank account, and worse if you've got things like utilities or mortgage on auto-pay. If a credit card gets stolen, you just have charges to dispute and you haven't actually lost anything.

Depends on the person and the gun. Do what works for you.

The x-ring is a 2x3 inch oval. Cut out a template and you can spray paint several of them on a single sheet of paper, paper plate, etc...

The Russian bear personified.

A little sandpaper will knock the sharp edges off.

I'm glad they spent the enormous resources building nearly useless crap like these rail guns instead of more tanks and airplanes.

Note that ATV's are only allowed at Turkey Bay. Vehicles must be plated for most of the roads. And yes, it's a really nice place.

I was there not long ago. It's not a happy place to be. Prayers for you during this difficult time.

You need to sand/grind/blend away all the pitting down to smooth bare metal, then paint/blue/coat the surface to prevent further corrosion. The pits trap the salts and corrosion products on a microscopic level, so no amount of oiling will stop the corrosion from continuing unless it's fully removed.
