    anyone else's wife have their paycheck set up for $0 withheld for income tax?

    Yup. Wife started a new job after a few years raising the little ones. Asks me how much we are getting back from our tax return. We'll actually...

    Somehow it's my fault.

    I had an Arabian (3/4 Arabian 1/4 Paint) gelding when I lived in Magnolia.  He was a smart fucker.  He knew how to open the gate to his pasture.  Every morning, when I went to sit on the back porch to drink my coffee, he would open his gate and come graze in the backyard next to me.  After that, I would take him back to his pasture and feed him.  When I moved back to Houston, he went to live with my niece, who jumped him in competition.  I finally sold him a couple of years ago.  Baladi Al Katir (my daughter called him Mr. Chips) was a good horse even though he threw me and busted up my shoulder.

    I read that as Mongolia at first. Would have been way cooler if it was Mongolia.

    I said in the shit that makes you surly thread that it pisses me off when people use “how come” instead of “why” because it sounds fucking stupid and I’ve decided it’s a clear sign of low intelligence. 

     

    I think it's even more of a clear sign of low intelligence when someone assumes that people using informal speech (speech with provenance that goes back to Shakespeare at least) have low intelligence while themselves using informal speech. Any person possessing a basic education should be able to realize that "how come" is an informal shortening of the phrase "how did it come to be that." Do you feel similarly about other phrases such as "y'all" being so shortened?

    380, as in 9mm kurtz or 308? I'd add 300 blackout to that list too. In fact, aside from ammo price, I'd be okay not having 556 personally. 

    As for fun, I love my lever in 38/357 and if you get a Ruger Vacaro you can run both with fairly inexpensive 38. 

    I have also think it required to add 22 ans 12 g.

    Rabbit hole, I found it.

    I'll see myself out.

    I have a few SAA clones in .38/.357 and a Miroku made Winchester 1873 in .357 that is the smoothest lever action you will ever shoot, but unfortunately it is picky on bullet overall length because of the way the carrier block in the actual works. The one time I tried .38 in it I had to remove the magazine cap to get it unjammed.

    I would take seriously the grave warnings but wouldn’t get too excited about any alleged U.S. kinetic action in space— which would undermine the warnings we are sending out. 

    So it was mid February of this year, and it was specifically about Russia nuclear capabilities in space with regards to anti satellite stuff. If they put an EMP in orbit to destroy some or one of our satellites you don't think we'd shoot it down as a matter of course to show we won't tolerate that sort of stuff?

    A month or two ago, there was a news story I happened across on one of the UFO subreddits that there was something in space that was gravely concerning to the US government. A week or so later, there was a news story about a satellite deorbitting and burning up in the atmosphere. Of course they said it was some ordinary satellite, but I wonder if that was a cover for us shooting down a satellite with a nuke or maybe an EMP. Prime tinfoil hat stuff, yes, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

    There definitely is a wrong way to do certain parts of it. Like don't put a plate flush against the opening of a bowl, otherwise the bowl stays dirty. Or don't put flimsy plastic shit in the bottom unless you want it warped as fuck. These are both things my wife has done and still does. 

    This. My wife is fond of putting forks tines down so they slip through the bottom and stop the rotor thingy below from turning and ensuring nothing gets clean.

  8. Blackthorne with the legendary reloading speed  on that pistol of his. It probably takes a couple minutes to reload one of those. And where does he keep his powder and accoutrements?
