  1. Can’t wait to see what April 15th brings.
  2. Those skinny stick super tall skyscrapers have “pendulum” dampers near the top to absorb the swaying motion.
  3. Expensive place to buy, but fun just to look at their inventory - particularly their milsurp hardware.
  4. The stuff of nightmares for those goobers….
  5. That is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it. Somebody once told me I had a twin in Florida. I replied, “That poor asshole”.
  6. Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. (Crappy cell phone camera)
  7. This is real coin, not that bit crap…. This is crap….
  8. Well, I’m still gonna hoard my treefiddy in cash under the mattress.
  9. To determine the size of a cube that would hold 1,000,000 dollars in 100 dollar bills, we need to calculate the volume of the bills and then find the dimensions of a cube with that volume. Size of a 100 Dollar Bill: According to the search results, a 100 dollar bill measures approximately 6.14 x 2.61 inches [1]. Volume of 1,000,000 Dollars: To calculate the volume, we need to determine the number of bills that make up 1,000,000 dollars. Since each bill is worth 100 dollars, we divide 1,000,000 by 100 to get 10,000 bills. Dimensions of the Cube: To find the dimensions of the cube, we need to calculate the volume of 10,000 bills. Since each bill has a thickness of negligible size, we can assume that the bills can be stacked without any gaps. Therefore, the volume of the bills is equal to the sum of the areas of the bills multiplied by the thickness. The thickness of a bill is not readily available, but for the purpose of this calculation, we can assume it to be 0.0043 inches, which is the average thickness of a US dollar bill [2]. Volume = (Area of a bill) x (Thickness of a bill) x (Number of bills) Volume = (6.14 x 2.61) x 0.0043 x 10,000 Calculating this, we find that the volume of the bills is approximately 672.6 cubic inches. To find the dimensions of a cube with this volume, we need to find the cube root of the volume. Cube Root of 672.6 = 8.6 inches Therefore, a cube that would hold 1,000,000 dollars in 100 dollar bills would have dimensions of approximately 8.6 inches on each side.
  10. I was born at Fort Benning, but don’t recall going across the Chattahoochee to enjoy the local $2 delights.
  11. Never have shot it, and it appears the previous owner didn’t either. However, I’ve been thinking about running a few rounds through it on a Texas Independence Day before shuffling off this mortal coil.

    Getting old sucks

    Since we seasoned Surlyites are gentlemen, some might like to use one of these fancy doodads as a walking aid instead of the usual stick or aluminum Medicare cane. https://borispalatnik.com
  13. Yes, it is legal elephant ivory. 1,000 were made. Those commemorative Colts were originally priced @$1,836 (not so clever marketing IMO), but by the 1990s some examples were selling for about half that amount. Now the prices have crept up I don’t care much for the gold embellishments except for the backstrap.
  14. I paid about $2,000 OTD for mine (with factory wood case) about 15-20 years ago

  16. I thought everyone gets a mulligan?
