Pics or it didn't happen. :)

My worst nightmare is to be a financial and emotional burden on my family while I slowly waste away. I've been witness to that very thing more than once, and it's horrible for everyone involved. I've read a bit of scripture about suicide and my interpretation is that death with dignity isn't suicide.

Hail yeah! Love me some 'pipes. Always wanted to learn to play them. If nothing else, it'd sure annoy the neighbors.

I somewhat liken it to the general view of lawyers (present company excepted)... 99% give the rest a bad name. That's not true, but it sure seems like they get in more than their fair share of trouble. And when they do, it's rarely minor. Heck, my sister used to babysit Rob Bironas's kids and she's met several other players and found them to be perfectly nice guys. Right. With as much money as they've got, they could afford to bring the nightclub to their house and avoid the complications.

Are you prepared to defend yourself with a blade?
peejman replied to Spots's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
While I've never dissected a human, I've seen what my kitchen knives do to various cattle type critters, and then I'm not trying very hard. A puncture/stabbing wound with a decent knife could easily penetrate bones or go between ribs or vertebra. 2" in depth is more than enough to ruin your day. In reality, that may not happen very often but clearly its possible. -
I grew up shooting right handed rifles left handed. Never really caused any issues. I think getting a lefty rifle only really matters with a semi-auto so that you don't get hot brass to the face.

True, but she needs to work on her song writing. Call me a metal snob, but the 3 minute radio hits they produce just don't highlight much musicianship to me. They write some cool riffs, but they're kinda ... dare I say.... Nickelback-ish. But then, they're making millions and I'm stuck working 8-5 so...

Big pile of cash in the bank and lots of free time.... what else is a thug to do? It's not called the National Felons League for nothing. He could also be useful by being a temporary resister in an electric circuit.

The heart, lungs, liver, stomach, spinal cord and intestines are typically less than 2" from the outer surface (unless the person is very obese). -
Interesting. Much as I hate to agree with Howard Stern, I also wonder about long term voice damage doing that at such a young age. I've traditionally avoid all these musical "talent" shows simply because they've got little to do with music and lots to do with popularity. Perhaps this is the next generation's Joan Jett or what's her name from Arch Enemy.

A coworker built a green house at his place. He made us quite jealous eating fresh, home grown veggies all winter. Use your grill or a turkey fryer to boil the water. Works just as well and keeps the heat out of the house. The AC works hard enough already...

Some states have reciprocity agreements regarding taxes on such things. I bought a car from my uncle in MI several years ago. I paid 4% MI sales tax instead of 8% TN sales tax. He gave me a document that I gave to the county clerk stating I'd already paid the tax. Either FL doesn't have one with TN or the seller didn't know that.

True, just like bikes. Max engine speed is mostly a function of how much air the engine can pump (after all, an internal combustion engine is nothing more than a pump) and how much stress the bottom end can handle. Interesting concept. Can't immediately grasp why that would have any effect on compression ratio, but interesting nonetheless.

Works good for my son's Red Ryder.... ;)

Computer controlled pneumatic valves aren't new, they've been used in F1 for years. That's how F1 engines achieve such high revs' (18k-20k rpm). Those systems aren't known for their durability, but since it's F1 they don't care about 250,000 mile reliability. I'd guess hyper car makers are in a similar situation... no one puts 250,000 miles on a Koenigsegg. He even says the test Saab has gone 60,000 km's under normal driving conditions. That's not quite 40,000 miles.. hardly a testament to durability. I agree that it's the wave of the future, but it's got a long way to go before you see an F150 with pneumatic valves.

Another vote for Beltman belts. I've worn mine daily for at least 5 years. It's great.

Interesting (and frightening). My wife doesn't like the idea of carrying gun on her person while at home. Though we do keep the doors locked and as someone said, I've replaced the strike plate screws with 3" deck screws. Seems this situation would force the mom into a pretty terrible decision. Run for the gun, or run for the kids? Clearly there isn't time for both. Since this mom didn't have a gun handy, I'd say she made the right choice. She's just fortunate the outcome wasn't worse.

While the triggers are typically pretty good, it's likely cylinder timing and the sights than hold most SA revolvers back. Exactly as the OP highlighted, the front blade is something like 4-6 MOA wide. And it's pretty easy to fix the trigger on an MK series.

Driving practice in Nashville (north or west preferred)
peejman replied to monkeylizard's topic in General Chat
Ever thought of Auto-X? It's a fantastic way to teach kids car control in a closed environment. While you may see some guys with fancy "race cars", any decent street car will work fine with a small amount of prep. http://www.trscca.org/indexFull.html -
You'd better. :)
