Two phenomenal cartridges that have intrigued me for a while. Between the two, I would lean toward the Norma. For what it is worth, the 358-375 that @hoytcanon has would probably be the best option.

When I was trying to get the women in my life into shooting/hunting, I bought a 6mm Rem, thinking that the recoil would be low enough as to not scare them away. This last year, my niece killed her very first deer with…a 300 Weatherby.

I find it odd that every time an attack happens, many respond as if it is a totally new and unexpected development.

The 358 Norma has become my latest obsession. Just need to decide how I will acquire one. A superbly cool cartridge.

The few folks I personally know who favor looser immigration policy are either profoundly libertarian or Catholic. It is not a belief held by the majority of Democrats, which makes the Biden border debacle such an incredible unforced error.

I wholeheartedly reject the notion that a person is “good” or “evil” based on their politics, obviously excluding the insane extremes. Some of the kindest, most generous folks I know are also some of the biggest MAGA supporters. I can say the same for some of my most leftwing friends.

I was really hoping that no one would bring up the new Jaguar ad. I now know how it must feel to be a Bud Light drinker.

Trump’s plan to reverse the ban on TikTok is possibly the most damaging thing he can do.

I listened to the Trump interview by Joe Rogan today while on a flight. If you have not heard it yet, I recommend it.

I genuinely do not understand anyone wanting the party in power to fail.

https://www.slowboring.com/p/a-tale-of-two-machines About the best post-election analysis I have found yet on why Democrats will continue to lose.

I moved to Florida prior to most of my colleagues, but the speed with which they relocated here during covid was staggering.

I genuinely have no idea how this election will go. In my little bubble, folks are fairly certain of a Trump win, but it is quite a Trumpy bubble to begin with so it is truly hard to gauge it. Personally, I think Harris might squeak out a win, but I would not be willing to put money on it.

Now I am very confused.

That is not what I wrote.

I meant the name of the person who now apparently has statues and murals, not the subsequent events.

I had to look up the George to which you are referring. Funny how quickly such things leave the mind.

I love the Negroni, and I find it to be a great cocktail to immediately tell the competence of the bartender. Now for something really exciting, you should have the white Negroni, which is gin, Suze, and Lillet Blanc.

I was speaking with a group of black doctors finishing their residency. Their top concern was how to minimize future tax liability once becoming attendings. As we were working through some numbers, one even said, “I think I just became a Republican.”

I fully intend to vote mostly R down ballot.

I am so tired of hearing about how a Trump win would end democracy.

Looks like I have something new to try!

I wish more bars would carry Bombay original instead of just Sapphire.

I was just recently talking about Fire Walk With Me to someone who had never seen it. Quite the hard sell but I still think about that film.

I think there is a fine yet distinct line between unsporting and unethical.

Very sad to hear, I always enjoyed reading his posts. I hope that his memory may be a blessing to his family.

Unicum!

You clearly understand my pain :LOL: I have some truly deranged pálenka stories.

I once made the mistake of being in Hungary during Sukkot and had nothing but home distilled fruit liquor of some dangerously high proof forced on me for the whole week.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/photos-circulate-online-of-slain-terrorist-who-israeli-officials-believe-was-sinwar/ Any news on whether this has been confirmed?

All of this talk about fuel-efficient 4 cylinders is making me nauseous.

I really need a 358 Norma

I listened to an interview with Jason Furman about her housing plan and he said the same thing. He was pretty cold on it overall.

How so?

It is good to be skeptical of scientific consensus, but not incredulous. For such an issue in which I have very limited knowledge, I will defer to the judgement of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists. My broader point, though, is that regardless of the human impact on climate...

From everything I have read, it seems the overwhelming scientific consensus is that humans are at the very least contributing to climate change. To what degree we are doing so is something I do not know. What to do about it is a different question. I believe having clean air, water, and soil...

My understanding is that humans are contributing to climate change. My opinion is that we should do what we can to reduce pollution and preserve the natural environment. If doing so ultimately helps slow the rate of climate change, all the better.

Proof that every rifle looks better with a rounded grip.

Greta Thunberg has Asperger’s, she is not “semi-retarded.”

If true, this is more proof of the alienation that I and many others feel from the Democratic Party as of late.

With regard to the recent support of Trump by the likes of Gabbard, RFK Jr, and Musk, I quite like Matthew Yglesias’ description of it as the “crank realignment.” https://www.slowboring.com/p/the-crank-realignment-is-bad-for...

My wife has been eyeing one in baby blue, so I am probably going to have to buy one soon.

Agreed, except for Newsom. He is a far weaker candidate than most in the media are willing to acknowledge.

It is worth noting that, regardless of which candidate they support, many people want to hear more from Harris and much less from Trump.

This breaks down when Chinese companies flood the market with low quality products, and then retailers like Amazon train consumers to accept low quality because the cost to replace is so low.

257 Wby or 280 AI would be my choice.

I can trace my dream of hunting Africa directly back to when I first saw King Solomon’s Mines.

@aminkus shana tova! Great to see another Jewish hunter on here.

I think it is important to temper such strong feelings with the understanding that many are dealing with quite severe mental illnesses.

It seems to me that it has more to do with the type of work itself more so than the position one occupies. What I mean is that a person leading an engineering company most likely has a great deal of expertise in engineering and could easily relate to the engineers they employ. At the same time...
