My friends ex husband works at OSP’s firearms bg department. They’re being told (not in writing) to GO VERY SLOWLY. Like 1-2 per day, vs the 400 that is possible.

Oh, I’d also point out: we’re not living in this thing. It was purchased for my wife (dog breeder) as her “dog show van” so she can go places with the mutts and not need hotels. We had an RV (38’ class A) that was totaled by an ice storm. T

We waited for 8mos last year for my wife’s sprinter to show up. I realize that was 2021/parts shortage/etc. but it wasn’t converted, just a 170” 4x4 cargo 2500. But yeah, this article is just shit. Yes, Yosemite can be crowded, bu

With football at least, I think they’re underpaid considering the major problems with TBI those guys are having.

Yes, but also no. I'm more tired of all the damned Ads, and the tracking that they stuff into things. I'd happily pay for a service that lets me keep up with all my family if it wasn't trying to know everything about me. To

Is it possible that the same root causes also trigger cluster-b disorders?

That scene (the matrix mirror) sounds more entertaining than my pulp fiction reenactment (the OD scene - I died and then sat up just as they were gonna stick me with the atropine).

Yep, I just wish I could earn the same building cars or houses or wtfever. That’s what’s keeping me here: the income.

Not that I’m caught up here, but everywhere this has happened to me: yes The only time that hasn’t happened was when I left aol, where our biz group was sold off to a new shop, I wasn’t needed, but the equip belonged to the new shop and the

I mean, cool and all. But I didnt have to do that to know where it was. I stood outside that hanger (with a B-2 inside) in 1989 at Northrop's 50th anniversary airshow. If I can remember that, from 30+ years ago, I'm pretty sure

I feel good about the unhackability of my 2001 corvette. It don’t have any connected anything.

Time to buy a ‘72 travelall. Can’t hack me if there’s nothing to hack. ETA: then swap in a modern engine and use megasquirt to run it instead of all this connected bullshit

I had no idea he lived nearby when I was in HS (also Gurney’s shop was within biking distance, also didn’t know it). If I could go back I’d blow off all the dumb shit I did and go ask to push a broom all day just to hang around race cars an

A small quibble: the tape don’t seal. It’s a lubricant for the threads wedging together to seal. For a REALLY good primer on the subject, read Carrol Smith’s _Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook_ (aka Screw to Win).

Yeah, lots of lifting in my life (3d/wk), and we do hit shoulders a lot. Problem is lots of impingement during some motions. And its been getting worse, not better.
