If the above is true, get a few #37 or #38 drill bits and make yourself a sieve.

The best blast cabinet you can get is someone else's.

My parents usually have a flock of about 20 turkeys that hang around the house. Not unusual to see them working along the fence. Up until opening day that is. The night before opening day, they disappear and remain unseen until June.

Hotchkiss?

My wife has tomato and pepper seedlings coming up. We've got carrots and peas in the ground. Beware of the potential for a hard freeze later this week.

I'm curious what you guys carry that becomes too much for cargo pockets? I carried a sling bag when my kids were in diapers but I was happy to not need it when they grew out of that.

As a former design engineer for various consumer products, I can assure you our legal system disagrees. The concept of "reasonably foreseeable misuse" is a thing. Personally, I think it's asinine. Individual responsibility be damned and all that. But I've been involved in a case and known of several others.

That makes sense since the hog really isn't fighting back. And the bear only pounced because the hog was already hurt.

Nothing but rain here. Didn't even wake me up.

It says mesh pocket linings... do they hold up? My keys poke holes in mesh pockets.

How long had they been at it before the video starts? The hog had a couple opportunities to escape but appears too tired to run. The bear could've drowned it in that ditch and been done in a minute or so.

Fair enough. 11 gallons of oil has the potential to make quite a mess if it leaks.

An 8" x 5ft pipe is about 1.75 cuft in volume. Water weighs 62.4lbs/cuft, so the pipe and its contents must weigh more than 109 lbs for it to sink. 1000 rds of 5.56 in an ammo can weighs about 30 lbs, so you'd need about 3600 rounds plus a couple rifles to sink the pipe. You also suggested to fill it with oil, which is lighter than water. So you'd need more weight to overcome the buoyancy of the oil.

That won't sink.

We watched it last night, at the insistence of my 10 yr old.

I'll give that a shot. We were standing on a pier, not sure how deep it was, 10 ft at the most with the water still down for the winter.

Ouch.

I wish I knew how folks catch fish in cold water. We went this past weekend and didn't get a single nibble.

Yep.

You typically sign by some combination of typing your name, your birthday, you SSN, or creating your own PIN.

If smallpox was eradicated, why haven't all the other viruses i mentioned also been eradicated? Perhaps there's something unique about smallpox, maybe its more fragile or less easily transmitted?

Vaccines work by preventing symptoms, they do not prevent infection or transmission, both of which can happen asymptomatically. Vaccines prepare your immune system to fight the virus so you don't exhibit symptoms. If a bunch of us got tested for the presence of the viruses that cause polio, meningitis, or measles, the results might be surprising. While we've all been vaccinated to prevent these diseases, that doesn't mean the virus is gone. The anti-vax crowd has proven that these viruses are still around. Vaccinated people have little to fear from those who haven't been. The unvaccinated are still vulnerable.

Indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Tirpitz There's also an episode of "Drain the Oceans" that covers the Tirpitz. I'd forgotten it sank in very shallow water. And that whole series is really good.

Yes and yes. It helps prevent the pipe from clogging up and it helps prevent the water coming out from eroding a hole in the ground. It spreads the flow out and gives a much greater area to absorb the water, just like a septic drain field. I have 2 downspouts on the other side of the house and my neighbor also has 2. I presume they terminate at the same point between our houses as there's 2 depressions about 6" deep and 3ft long in the grass on the property line straight out from both sides sets of downspouts.
