I think the awesome meter just exploded.

  Yep.  They'll win because they've got more experience. 

    +1.  Really, even 1/2 lb makes a pretty good boom.    Since you're using tannerite and melons, I presume balloons with some flour in them would be permissible as well?  Just thinking of some "reactive" targets.    When time comes to kill the watermelon, have them line up and shoot one shot down the line until someone wins the "prize".  Do that around dusk if you can for the fireball effect.

Welcome!

  So you're saying he's a politician....

Clearly the definition of "hot" is highly subjective.  Stuff that I would say has flavor but wasn't real hot would make my mother-in-law's head explode (which gives me an idea....   :cool:  ).  I had wings at one of the wing places (I forget which) that had a mango habanero sauce that I thought was quite hot, but was very good.  I had to take a little break in the middle of the plate, but I ate them.  I've eaten sliced habaneros and that was about as hot as I can stand.  I've had Hooter's 3 Mile Island wings and thought they were terrible.  Just hot, no flavor.  I'm not a fan of the "buffalo" type sauces.  I also don't like hot Indian food... a little curry goes a long way for me.  I've had hot Thai food and thought it was good.  I'm going to have to try this much revered "hot chicken" at some point. 

I have little kids so I wouldn't let them into my house.  I also don't have a land line and wouldn't hand a stranger my cell phone, so that guy would be pretty much SOL.  I try to be a nice guy, but anything further would depend on the vibe... if the guy or the situation seemed shady, he'd be encouraged to be on his way.  There's a gas station less than 1/2 mile up the road, maybe they can help you out. 

I think the bubble has burst, but it'll get patched and re-inflated shockingly quickly as the 2016 election looms closer. 

I've never understood stuff like that. If it's so hot that you can't taste anything, what's the point?

Welcome. 30-30's come and go on here from time to time. I'd like to have one too.

    If somebody put anchovies on my pizza, I'd swear too...       I had to travel to S. Korea on business several years ago.  My first real meal, other than the granola bars I brought, consisted of Domino's pizza with steak fries, yellow peppers, and mustard as toppings.  It was as odd as it sounds... and probably the best meal I had the whole week I was there.  :-\

Thin crust, italian sausage, mushrooms, and jalapeños.

Heh. And probably not a good idea to weld it.

Stuff like that just runs all over me. Was the builder cheap, lazy, or stupid? If they cheaped out on that, what else did they do?

I believe you're supposed to report "nuisance" wildlife to TWRA, but my guess is they'll tell you to trap and/or shoot it.

I'd play a lot if I had the time and money. We have a small league at work that I use as my excuse and motivation to keep playing. It's 9 holes every other week. They didn't have the league one year and I think I played twice that year. That was sad. I also prefer to walk when it's reasonable to do so.

Tactical Advantage (formerly known as Coal Creek Armory) has a women's only HCP class. They also offer a couple other women's classes that I've been thinking of sending my wife to.

Dryer ducts that run through floors or in crawl spaces should be rigid metal pipe for exactly the above reason. The metal flex hose stuff is ok for very short runs where normal joints won't work and the nylon flex stuff should be avoided completely.

So that would seem to indicate the prosecutor either didn't have time to prepare or didn't exactly finish at the top of his class.  No evidence of abuse prior to the boy turning 18 and I suppose the son chose not to pursue it.  I guess I'll showcase my ignorance of the system and ask how did that ever make to a court room?

  Yes, Ti is different than aluminum or steel.  It's very tough but also can be gummy like copper.  It also depends highly on what alloy of Ti he's using and it's heat treatment.  It's fine to cut it dry (just like Al or steel), he's going slowly, taking short and light cuts so the tool doesn't heat up, and using carbide tools.  He's also using an open mill without coolant capability.  He'd have to put some sort of berm around the mill and would have a heck of a mess to clean up if he was using coolant.    I'd guess that hunk of Ti cost at least $1000.  He's got another few hundred in the cutting tools, not to mention the cost of the mill and the time to do the work. 

Welcome!

    Forgive my cynicism... can you provide any further detail regarding this case?  The idea that the judge "had no choice" to drop the charges" tells me there was some sort of snafu or loophole that required him to do that.  Stuff like that is exactly why I call it a legal system rather than a justice system.  But it's highly likely my flying leap to that conclusion is completely wrong. 

I can't find anything that states transporting class 2 wildlife is a felony.  Everything related to this says it's a Class C misdemeanor.  It does say that they can basically confiscate darn near everything used in the process (your truck or boat and everything in it, etc.)            

Welcome!
