Many serviceable aircraft get sold/sent to other countries or sent to AMARC next to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. The others I guess get scrapped or put on a stick in front of VFWs. I would expect quite a few A-10s to move next door from Davis-Monthan to AMARC when the day comes that they get retired.

Oh....I don't know. A guy managed to trade a paper clip for a house.   http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=2192233&page=1   You have to take a long-term approach to this, especially since it's really only useful in a long-term collapse. Maybe the guy with venison doesn't need 8 bars of soap, but maybe you can trade a couple of bars of soap for a bottle of doe scent with a different person, then trade that to the hunter for some meat. It's all about beads on a string. Normally a pound of meat <> a bar of soap, but if you've got 100 lbs of meat and no good way to preserve it, you trade what you can as fast as you can. Or maybe that hunter has a kid with a birthday coming up and he wants to do something for his little girl. Now maybe a box of 8 basic crayons = a turkey or some rabbits.

  It reportedly saw some limited action at the very end of the war in field trials on the front lines. It wasn't put into mass production until it was adopted by the Red Army in 1949.

No. I mean the Noisy Cricket from MIB (Men In Black)

Add to my list above: fishing line fish hooks duck tape booze - I said it earlier, but left it off "the list". High alcohol content is best. Skip the Bailey's and go straight for the whiskey, rum, and vodka. Doesn't have to be Woodford Reserve. Canadian Mist will do in the apocalypse.

pool shock. Gotta get the right kind though. Can be used to make bleach. Liquid bleach breaks down pretty quick. The powder lasts a looooong time. Lots of info on these here Interwebs on that. matches/fire steels toilet paper pencils hand tools (wrenches, saws, hand drills, etc) canning supplies compasses with maps of the area shoe strings rope all sorts of long-lived medical supplies (bandages, rubber tubing, nitrile gloves, etc.) mylar space blankets kitty litter plastic sheeting buckets paper how-to manuals

  That's Nashville's $10 hooker street. Their sugar comes with flies.

:) My comment was directed to nightrunner who said it looks nearly identical to his truck.     I might be able to get the MIB Noisy Cricket in my Mazda 3.

There goes Daryl....he got bit.   http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/tv/article/norman-reedus-walking-dead-bitten-2015-12

Then you need to swing by the car wash and use one of their vacuums.  :D

New Zealand too, IIRC.

I use it to tag threads that I think I'll want to refer back to later and long after they stop being active, like if there's a good comparison of something that I'm considering but not yet ready to buy, or some of the threads where Dolo shared lots of good info on the .300 BLK. It's not something I'm in to right now, but I'm interested and know I'd want that exact info if I ever take the plunge. Makes it easy to find later.

What Caster said. I don't think anyone in the manufacturing side opposes this. The shear volume would create such a vastly different economy of scale for them that the prices could plummet and they'd still make more profit per can, not to mention sell a whole lot more cans. I know I'd have a bunch.

Maybe. Margins would certainly drop, but volume would go through the roof.

So they were exhibitionists who had never heard of KY? Heck, just some old fashioned Jergens would do the trick.

True dat!

  Not always. Plenty of people commit horrible crimes after passing back ground checks.

  Me too, but not yet. Let's wait and get more money for it.  :)   Here's an almost 3 year old study done for Metro. http://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/Planning/docs/fairgrounds/TN%20Fairgrounds%20presentation%202013_02_21b.pdf   I notice that Option 5 is missing. Sell the whole thing and get out of the fair business entirely.

  Exactly what would go there, nobody knows. It's way too early for any developers to have invested in any really detailed plans. Developers in the mix probably only have some loose numbers about how many units, average size, rough costs and sale prices, etc. It would likely be some sort of mixed-use development with some retail, but mostly condos. Berry would be sure to mandate a percentage of the housing units be set aside for low-income/rent controlled.   As far as it being in a bad part of town, yes that's true today (in part because of the irony of the fairgrounds and the track being there), but I doubt that will still be true in 10-20 years time. Look at what has happened in much of East Nashville and is now actively underway in Germantown. 20 years ago it wasn't safe to drive through Germantown in the daytime. Now they're building condos going for north of 500K and the homes up there are pushing a cold million. The Chestnut Hill area around the Fairgrounds is already showing early signs of re-gentrification. New homes being built just a few blocks north of the fairgrounds are listed at close to 500K. It's close to downtown, Vandy, Belmont, Hillsboro Village, 12 South and the Interstates. If I was just looking at a map and didn't know what kind of housing and crime was in that area already, I'd think it was a pretty good spot. I wish I had bought some homes over there 10 years ago and bulldozed them just to have the land. There are still a few values to be had, but most sellers are wise to what's happening. There aren't many areas left that are close to downtown that haven't undergone some sort of resurrection in the last 15 years. Hermitage Ave on the backside of the Napier public housing project is one of the only places left that hasn't seen some of that action. I expect it to be next given its proximity to downtown. Hipsters don't seem to know how to read crime maps.   As a taxpayer, I'm glad Dean didn't get his way. He was trying to sell too soon. If we're going to sell it, I want that to happen between 3 and 10 years from now. That should be the peak. Nashville can't stay the "It" city forever. The downside to selling it is that we can never get it back. If a future generation of Nashvillians needs a large parcel of land somewhat near downtown for a public works project to benefit the city, that lot won't be an option like it is today.

  M44 Mosin: When you need to shoot an attacker and light them on fire at the same time. :D

  Why would they become GSA firearms? They're not firearms by any definition of a firearm that makes any kind of sense. Why wouldn't they just become accessories like optics if they're removed from the NFA? Or is there a federal definition of "firearm" that includes suppressors?

Don't know if any of you watched the Fox NFL pregame show, but they were broadcasting from the pier beside the USS Missouri. They had several (19 I think?) Pearl Harbor veterans there. At the end of the show, a couple of young Marines were having a pushup contest behind the announcers. One of those old guys (he's 90) got up, walked over to those Marines, and got down and started doing pushups with them. That was awesome! It was nice that they showed the USS Oklahoma and the USS Utah memorials as well. The Oklahoma is open to the public as part of the Aviation Museum and USS Missouri area, but the Utah requires DoD credentials to access so it was nice to be able to see it even if it wasn't in person. runco, I guess that's a popular angle to shoot a picture. Here's mine from 2013:
