I'm not a firefighter, and even after a career in law enforcement, I know little about fire science. What I do know is that there was a huge, catastrophic situation going on, something that could potentially spread and get much, much worse.
So, I don't know if shutting off the risers was the...
There is no one on the news or TV or media who gives me nightmares. Seems like an exceptionally sensitive person.
Well, except for the Giant Purple Snorkelwhacker from my closet of anxieties. ;)
Which of your other rights are you willing to compromise? You probably don't care about the Fourth Amendment, because the police will never target you unfairly, so it is okay for them to rummage through other people's stuff?
Or the Fifth Amendment, because everyone should just answer the...
Keep in mind the impact of inflation. Consider that, in real $$, $4.17 in 2008 is the equivalent of $5.37 today. (Source: usinflationcalculator.com)
So, even as bad as it is, we really haven't hit "2008 bad" yet.
However, it was bad then, and it is bad now. Unless and until domestic...
Must be someone buying from them... I clicked through the link, and it is now out of stock.
I quit even looking at CTD after their shenanigans that started this thread.
Reading through this thread I am fortunate that Mrs. MarkC never objects when I want to buy something gun-related and expensive (or car-related, and expensive), but we almost always discuss the purchase ahead of time. Most recently (like, yesterday), we just plunked down (electronically, of...
I'm not familiar with this particular artist, but I suspect the mumbling nonsense is laden with expletives and misogynistic slurs. But, that is just a guess.
"Re-racked" - I see it a lot on TV, you know, when the character racks the slide several times before employing the weapon.
The action that makes you think either "why is he waiting until now to chamber a round," or "didn't he just eject a round on the ground?"
I think there's an entire thread...
As I've owned one kind or another of Mustang, real Mustang, since getting my driver's license in 1976, it saddens me to see the dilution of one of Ford's most successful and iconic nameplates.
Mrs. MarkC saw one of those "Mustang Mach E" things, and didn't realize it was a "Mustang" until she...
QFT. Today's youth do not seem to understand the true costs of ownership, living within one's means, and delayed gratification.
I blame the Free Stuff Army, lack of economics in schools, and shifting (failing?) societal attitudes.
Of course, I suspect the older generation said the same...
Ding ding ding! I found the receipt from when I put on four tires, with the road hazard warranty, and an alignment, done in November 2020. Around $1,300, all told, for Michelin.
Yeah, I bet... the larger tires on my rather ordinary looking Explorer cost as much as our Suburban or MarkC Junior's Tahoe.
I can only imagine what those beasts cost!
Three of our five cars are Fords; the other two are Chevrolet large SUV's, a fairly new Suburban and an '03 Tahoe with over 200,000 miles that the kid is driving around at Fort Bragg.
I really do like my Fords, but the Chevy SUV's have really held up.
They are all in good shape, but as CM...
Can confirm; about 2/3 of Fort Campbell is in Tennessee. The post office is in Kentucky, hence the Kentucky address.

Something I realized about our American anarchists while helping manage law enforcement response to the I-69 construction (Phases I-IV, so a while ago). They have this naive belief that life without government telling them what to do will be all puppies and rainbows and unicorns, where their...
