    Maybe it's because we (USA) have the most free speech in the entire world and the other countries have at one level or another a government controlled and more single opinioned press? Discussion is more interesting when there are 2 sides to EVERY story. Just a thought. AJ

    For long outages, knowing how to drain the pipes in your house (perhaps leaving a single faucet in a basement available ...) can lower the heating requirements for surviving a cold snap. AJ

    Ever wonder how many rounds you have shot over the years?

    Not counting rimfire, certainly well into the 6 figures but likely shy of a million. Counting rimfire, only God knows. AJ

    Ditto, however we have survived fine using Honda 2kw Inverter generators (alternating at fuel fill intervals) for a week at a time. What we really NEED in cold weather is a couple lights and the fan that blows air through the fireplace insert, the refrigerator and freezer. I keep things going...

    In a long term event, you can manually pull water out of your well with a simple 1 way float valve attached to a length of 2" PVC and some paracord/rope (unless your well is really deep), just be familiar with how to pull the existing pump out of the well so you can access the water. Also, be...

    That's a good start. We call power outages here "EMP drills". Our plan is to be able to hunker down for the first 3 months and see what survives after that. Snow, Anything less than 6", we just ignore. AJ

    So, Trump has sway over Canadian voters? I wouldn't have expected that, or maybe they were just low information voters? AJ

    Hey to all

    Welcome from Michigan. I'm on my way to New Brunswick in the morning for a Black Bear hunt. AJ ps: I'm also an Africa Hunter wannabee.

    I Think I’m Overthinking

    Your 7x57 with the Accubonds should be just what the Dr. ordered for Plains Game medicine. Or Partitions, sorry I mis-read your post. I've often figured if I did PG only, I'd use my lightweight 7mmRM and use 160gr Accubonds. AJ

    I don't see it as 'washing away past sins' I see it as being able to expect fair treatment. With the release of this information, there are 100's or 1000's of miscreants that would try to fabricate additional information to bear false witness and cost Trump and others vast $$ to defend...

    Hypothetically, lets say that Trump has paid all his taxes. This keeps them from ILLEGALLY going after him again with information gained from an ILLEGAL release of his personal information. Hypothetically, if they hadn't ILLEGALLY released his tax information, none of this would have happened. AJ

    You can't have it both ways, Trump is NOT getting any money for the damages he obviously incurred but is getting an agreement that they won't pursue him again for past taxes. So basically they can't pursue him illegally AGAIN! Seems a reasonable settlement that doesn't cost us tax payers a big...

    And if he does, maybe he can learn from this also. (from AI) Discovery-Based Statutes of Limitations: Lawsuits for unauthorized tax disclosures (under I.R.C. § 7431) or the Privacy Act generally have a two-year statute of limitations that begins on the date of discovery rather than the date of...

    Traveling with Soft Cases

    Remove just 1 or 2 layers of the foam and a padded soft case should hold very very solid inside the Pelican with your rifle. With some space around it for sticks etc. Very solid this way. Exactly like the video, I don't believe he removes ALL the foam. AJ

    40 years of Software development lead to over a million lines of code in everything from CAD/CAM, Semiconductor viewing software, expert systems, business intelligence software ... Glad that is in my rear view mirror (it was fun for about 30 years). I've worn out a couple Sous-Vide machines...
