  1. I call that the crushed L4.
  2. If this O-line can protect Guarantano reasonably, he's got a good chance to shine in his final season. If they let him get beat up (again), it'll be mediocreville again. He's a really tough kid to have survived the abuse the last 2 years.
  3. The distance requirement is specific to hunting , and I think it's 300 ft. Make sure you have a good, earthen backstop. Noise complaints from the neighbors are the most likely issue, though I wouldn't expect much in Cocke Co.
  4. We have one that belonged to my wife's grandmother. Haven't used it in a long time, but it worked fine when we did.
  5. This site also has a lot of good info. https://thewellarmedwoman.com/
  6. I was gonna say that the info on the web doesn't specifically prohibit either if those. If they're good with spotlights, night vision isn't much of a stretch. It is (and has been) illegal to relocate any wildlife without a permit. My wife used to work with a raptor rehabber. She had to keep a copy of the rehabber's license in her car in the event she got pulled over while transporting the birds. When I finally showed my dad the regs and told him they'd confiscate his truck, he finally quit relocating raccoons and started planting them.
  7. Call his FFL and ask if they'll accept shipment from an individual. If so, just send it yourself and save the $25. If not, the FFL here should log it and provide you a tracking number.
  8. My wife would be "hey baby snakes! Come look!"
  9. There's not much in Knoxville anymore. Gotta drive to Nashville, Asheville, Charlotte, or Atlanta to see much. I always wondered why no one ever comes here, a big tax would explain that.
  10. Detained indeed.

    PSA Dagger

    Beta testing.
  12. This one? Its one of my favorites.
  13. I'm married with kids. It's very rare that there's anything of value in my wallet.
  14. It's very much the haves, and the have nots.
  15. And Alcoa/Arconic, and ORNL, and Siemens, and Clayton, and Kimberly Clark, and Tennova, and Covenant Health, and.... Heck, even Walmart is competitive at the $12/hr they were targeting.
  16. Have you been to Daytona lately? Its all tourism based service work. There's very little industry there.
  17. As an actual mechanical engineer, I approve this message Though you must also consider the constraints the engineers work to with regard to cost, packaging, time line, supplier, etc.
  18. Exactly. A used car a couple a couple years old costs nearly the same as a new car these days. If you're at the point of making payments anyway, may as well get a new one.
  19. Yes, the hassles that come with dealing with Craigslist people have pushed many to just trade-in instead.
  20. Thats already been addressed.... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-those-bogus-reports-on-ineffective-neck-gaiters-got-started/

    Retirement?

    This is a great point, and a significant issue for those uninsured. One of the biggest benefits of medical insurance is their negotiated rates for various services. As an example, I had hernia surgery several years ago. One of the line items on the bill that I recall was something generic like "surgical equipment fee" $8000. My insurance's negotiated rate for that item was $200. So an uninsured person gets stuck with $8000 while the benefit of my insurance was a 40x reduction in that cost. That's madness. Its quite certain that an uninsured person wouldn't end up paying $8000, but to me that illustrates a major problem in the industry. The only conclusion I can draw is theres some "creative accounting" going on behind the scenes.

    Retirement?

    I'm not tied to my current job but I've been unable to find something better that doesn't involve way more hours. I certainly didnt expect that 20 years after a masters degree in engineering that I'd still be one of the minions. Those i know who've been promoted either work much more than I'm willing too, or were completely useless and got moved up so they could do less harm. I put in my share of 80+ hr weeks and its just not worth it. Some sort of side hustle would be nice, except i have to sleep some time. My kids are young and still want me around, that's more important to me than money. My wife currently homeschools our kids, 9 more years if they continue through high school.
  23. Frequency listing... https://www.radioreference.com/ As stated, you can't pick up trunked radio, which most public safety systems are. Theres apps for listening to trunked radio or you can use the internet. To really do much more than listen to NOAA, you need a license. One of the kids in my son's scout pack and his dad got radios and licenses. They chat periodically, though the only plus over a phone is not requiring cell service.
