    Looking for open range Buffalo and Leopard combo hunt for 2024

    The amount of cats is truly insane. I literally saw two baits the entire hunt that weren't hit by a leopard at least once. They are everywhere.

    Wire Transfer Scam

    I'm honestly surprised that those "powers" didn't try harder to kill it when they had the chance. Genie is out of the bottle now. But agree that regulation in some form will happen. The US is being foolish by trying to make crypto technology unavailable and pushing it offshore. Why we'd want...

    Wire Transfer Scam

    Crypto cold wallet security is basically impenetrable, or has been so far, using BIP-39. https://vault12.com/securemycrypto/crypto-security-basics/what-is-bip39/#:~:text=BIP39%20is%20a%20common%20and,BIP39%20seed%20phrase%20be%20random! But give that seed phrase away or store it on your...

    Wire Transfer Scam

    Yes absolutely. Not sure what you mean by unique target? If you're talking about exchange theft that is no different than any other theft. There was something of value that was stolen. The issue though was storage. Keep BTC in cold storage and it is next to impossible to steal. I mean someone...

    Wire Transfer Scam

    Same can be said of the dollar. It is backed by nothing. There will never be more than 21M BTC. That's it. That can't be said of the dollar. BTC is still new. No doubt. But it is here to stay and serves a purpose. It's going to be fascinating to see where it goes over the next 20 years. Now...

    Wire Transfer Scam

    Not your keys not your coins. Exchanges being hacked have nothing to do with BTC itself. That's like saying the dollar in the bank caused the bank robbery to be successful

    Wire Transfer Scam

    With all due respect, can you name a single scam with BTC that hasn't been done with the done with the dollar? Bet ya can't. It's much safer and more trackable than the dollar. It can't be debased because some politician decides to make the printer go burr either.

    What is your go to 375h&h load and what do you use it on?

    I'm going to be different than the standard 300 grain answer. 235 gr CEB pushed fairly fast, 2935 fps. Absolutely devastating on cats and anything else in the world with the exception of buffalo, elephant, and rhino. And, I'd hunt buffalo with that load in a pinch (if Lott went down for...

    Last I saw the third party was 4%, so in a close race.... Could at least send it to runoff. Trying to remain objective, and although I've followed the race I haven't followed super closely, it seems that both sides have made some flubs. It may very well just come down to which candidate for...

    I am NOT the war expert. But I will say this, most things ebb and flow and go in cycles. I wouldn't read too much into a slowing of recent advances anymore than I would have said during the summer that the Ukrainians were doomed. What will be more interesting to me will be to see if the...

    The European plan of energy dependence worked out so well that Biden's handlers are seeking to emulate it. How quickly everyone forgets that Europe had its own energy in the not so distant past, not to even mention the abandonment of nuclear energy.

    Pretty interesting if you believe it's correct. Gun control doesn't even make the list despite dem efforts to make it a top issue. And what are the other issues that dems are focused on? School issues (10)? Abortion rights (12)? Climate change (14)? Jan 6th made up BS (15)? Gay issues (17)...

    I unfortunately disagree with the persuaded part... There is no persuasion. It is planned in advance. There is no Republican party and very few actual republicans. There is only the Uniparty, whose job is to play ping pong back and forth with the voters. Point the finger across the net, slight...

    Speaking of spending (or not spending ) money on the war in Ukraine. Read the thread, and even some of the comments. If this is true then the money we've and the sanctions may very well be the difference in the war when history looks back. The thread sounds like something from a Ludlum book...
