This isn't new.  NK has been doing this for 50 years.  The mass media has just decided its fun to report it.  Its something else to get people spooled up about and distract them from the important stuff.      Saber rattling... blah, blah, blah.  All that nitwit's words and $2 will get you a cup of coffee.  Go back in your hole and STFU.

  Should be.  Kinda like common sense...       Clearly you understand more than I do (which really isn't much of a compliment  ;)  )   I had to google OTC derivative exposure.  I now know what it means though I don't think I really grasp the concept.  The whole idea of securities and futures is just too abstract for my simple mind.    The debt to GDP ratio is interesting.  Clearly Cyprus is an example of what can happen when one's creditors lose confidence, be that individual or governmental.           Bah... that's just crazy talk. 

Kewl, the kukri in particular.  I've always thought those just looked mean. 

Nothing like a little trench gunsmithing to fix a trench gun.  What you did certainly won't make it blow up.

It just occurred to me that this is next weekend.  Time flies.  I plan to come, but won't be able to get there until about noon.  The directions on the previous page seems easy enough to follow.  Some GPS coordinates of the final location might help.  Or maybe just a screen shot from google maps.  Looking forward to it. 

  Perhaps they're not that stupid, they're simply ignorant.  Very, very few people make any effort to understand how the banking and governmental finance systems work.  I don't think that's entirely their fault.  Those systems have evolved over time to be so absurdly complex, they're effectively beyond comprehension.  A single input could result in 1000 different outputs based on 1 million variables.  Until the systems are simplified to the point that they can be reasonably understood, I think they're all doomed to fail in one way or another.   In addition, the looming bankruptcy is bad news and people neither like to give nor receive bad news.  They're very difficult problems with very difficult solutions, o they just ignore and hope it'll go away.  It's not a big stretch to say that we'll be in the same position in a decade or two. 

    Lookalike?  meh, not really.  But not bad either. 

Find a range near you with rentals.  Try lots of them.  Try guns you don't think you'll like, they might surprise you.  Pick the one you shoot the best.  Range and rental fees are a small investment compared to the purchase price.   oh, and welcome!

I'm guess my method of sitting the cassette recorder on the floor in front of the amp isn't going to be adequate for your needs.  The kids yelling in the background makes a nice ambiance.  :rofl:    But I don't sing so 1 track works fine.  My wife always complains that I have a 1 track mind...     I'm completely ignorant of the whole recording process but find it very interesting.  I'm learning lots of stuff.  :cool:

Welcome!  Unfortunately I'm not a member at any of the local ranges, though it'll most likely be ORSA when that time comes. 

    FTFY....

What a pussy.  You picked a fight (for an exceptionally stupid reason) and lost.  Be a man, take your lumps, and move on.  You're lucky they didn't shoot you first.   What a great example to set for your kid in the back seat, you f-ing moron.   :shake:    Clearly you're a sore loser.  Bet that won't be the only thing that's sore while you enjoy prison. 

  I wouldn't use a file unless you really know what you're doing.  I'd try to break the corners with a soft cratex stone. 

        I hereby move that all naked chameleon shape shifters be required to take the form of Kate Upton.  :dirty:

Very cool.  Both the design work and the execution.  I've never heard of a volcanic before. 

  This.  They'll keep you warm(er), but unless you're type that can sleep through a hurricane you won't be able to sleep with one.  And you'll never get it back in that little pouch.    I also have the cheap plastic poncho.... basically same as above.

OMG!!!  A freight train hauling ....  freight!!   In freight cars even!  AAAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!

Welcome!

Here's the video of the cannon firing.  Not exactly the most professional cannon crew I've ever seen, but it went bang.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgA2GzX3R_8&feature=youtu.be       And here's the wall gun...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSGoegLvOA8&feature=youtu.be

Sweet.  Glad Jim was able to fix you up.

Quit working again.  Seems I've have this problem (and fixed it ) before...  Search is my friend.  :)

We took the kiddies to the Ft. Loudoun (no, that's not misspelled) Garrison weekend yesterday. The kids had a ball running around and the wife and I enjoyed seeing all the reenactors doing their thing.... we're nerdy like that. They are all very nice and very knowledgeable on the period they were portraying. They do this fairly regularly through the year. http://fortloudoun.com/special-events/ Here's a few pics... Blacksmith at work Carpenter.... Baker.... The minstral played several tunes... They also did demonstrations with the muskets, 3lb cannon, and wall gun. I got videos of the cannon and wall gun firing but can't get them to upload at the moment... :/ Gotta get me one of these.... :) 75 lb wall gun. Predecessor to the punt gun. Typically fired "grape shot". Made quite an impressive boom too. This gent spoke at length about the development of the weapons (muskets, swords, bayonet, side arms, ...) they used and general life as a foot soldier. The surgeon talked about the medical technology of the day... which is a tad frightening. Several of the tools they have look strikingly similar to modern stuff. Just not quite as clean and shiny... Typical officer's quarters... Not so lavish quarters... Several of the reenactors kids' were running around in period dress as well. One had his toy rifle, which meant my kids decided they required a rifle of their own. The blacksmith applied Kings George's brand to the rifles... Fun, fun...

I keep my stuff out of sight and locked up mostly for my kids' safety.  Your average smash & grabber isn't going to take the time to break out the saws and torches to get into stuff.  A pro will bring his own tools.  I'm not going to inconvienece myself by keeping everything locked up and hidden away out of fear of a buglar.  That's what insurance is for.

  Assuming there's nothing particularly special in there, I'd do the above.  A big cable and lock is smash & grab protection, but my guess is the smash & grabber won't notice the cable until they're in the middle of the grab phase.  My guess is they'll be annoyed at their discovery and the guns will get plenty beat up because of it.
