  1. I think I might still have those speakers?
  2. 45-70 vs an old toilet at the brush pit at the ranch. GD that is a fun gun. Not mine, it's a friends but I always make him bring it and I buy the ammo and clean it like it's mine after. Whopped a doe with it a few years back.
  3. IMG_1349.MOV
  4. .357 out of a longer barrel completely transforms the characteristics - meaning it's coming out a lot hotter. With handloads, you can get pretty damn close to the same ballistic performance of a 30-30. Deer, pigs, etc. they are all on the menu at under 100yds and with the weight of the rifle, recoil is negligible.
  5. Buy a manual transmission car - zero theft issues from these fucking kids
  6. Or trophies....
  7. "Scared Straight" - isn't there a show about this? Either way, my guess is that because this is a string of what seem to be coordinated car jackings, there are other people involved. Jacking cars is about moving cars. That takes coordination and infrastructure to an extent. That screams gang activity. With a pistol? Recruit a couple of younger kids, if they get caught they can hide behind their age. The gun moved things to another level - so my only concession would be to integrate sentencing with their ability to implicate the larger gang activity that is obviously recruiting these kids. They still killed someone, so that means decades, not years of jail time, but if they could tie this back to organized crime, then it's worth having the conversation.
  8. Mexico has what many are expressing as a solution for minors. Under 12, they are essentially unable to charge them with almost any crime. 12-18 is the age that they are sent to "correctional facilities". This is why the cartels use them for their "sicarios" or other aspects such as lookouts, runners, etc. They get caught and because of their age, there is little the state can do. They do a minimal sentence, and they're back out on the streets. Until they turn 18, there's not much the state can do and the cartels/gangs exploit this to the fullest. So fuck all that. You do big boy shit, you can do the big boy time and face the consequences. Coordinated car jacking, with a gun, and then murder when someone dares to try and keep their car from being stolen, checks that box.
  9. RATS!!!! Fucking rats. Little shits chewed up the wires to the fuel injectors - causing it to run like I'm going over continuous speed bumps and shake when idling. Also cause it to throw all those error warnings, etc. I'm taking up falconry and declaring a Jihad on those little fukers.
  10. Yep, I use both. Salt is also good for grease. Keeps it out of your drain which can be a big problem. I have a bevvy of pans, and get a little OCD on their use, which foods they are used for, etc.
  11. Watched last night - holy hell it was great!
  12. Or just salt and a few paper towels. I cook everything on cast iron. I've had mine for a decade +/- now and she's just now fully broken in. I also have my g-mothers cast irons that are smooth as glass at the ranch. I have a big jar of salt from Costco and just pour in a little, and work it around with a towel. I usually de-glaze with a little water, then finish off with a salt scrub, then rinse. Good to go.
  13. Not so much shrewd as more relentlessly trying to beat you down again and again for the lowest possible price/rate/etc.. 100% correct about zero loyalty.
  14. Yes. It's still under the school of Liberal Arts. The "dismal science", it's essentially the philosophy and quantification of decision making. Supply/demand, all that fun stuff.
  15. My wife's cousin went the Econ route with that very scenario, then finished with a 5-year plan and a Masters in Finance. Now he's a finance bro in NY. There are always options.
  16. Hosted friends. I did the filets. Two are the right are pan-seared, butter, etc. Two on the upper left are the same but with a spicy chimichurri. Two bottles of Caymus 50th and a bottle of Prisoners later, it was a good night.
  17. .22lr pistol with rat-shot. Works wonders and it's not loud at all (pellet gun decibel levels)
  18. Over Texas Wesleyan? But i get your point
  19. We had a few of those glasses, no telling what happened to them. When I hit my BB-gun/fireworks stage I decimated what would be thousands of dollars worth of SW toys.
  20. Lol, wouldn't you
  21. Meh, they're all over Frisco, but whatever. They are forcing my daughter to step up her game to be in the top 10% of her class.
  22. They actually followed the books/comics for quite a while. That was the point that the story pivoted from zombies to the "real" predators, being people.
  23. Saw a video about disconnecting the battery, letting it sit for 30+ minutes and then reattaching everything - wonder if that is essentially doing that recalibration on it's own?
