    answering the post above yours, from NotActuallyALonghorn, about blaming all of Starbucks or not mentioning/clarifying that it was this particular Starbucks:

    This is on the manager of that particular Starbucks.  Unless you are noticing a pattern at other Starbucks that can be proven.  This from someone who isn't the biggest fan of Starbucks but generally hates it when the WTO protesters typically find a Starbucks window to break.(I usually attribute it to them being ubiquitous, not WTO protesters having anything against Starbucks)

    I didn't mean to imply that this is on Starbucks as a whole, but on this particular one. In other words, the manager or who ever was in charge of making the call. 

  2. Time to make a holster for my new Single Action Army Clone. Got a pattern made and ready to cut out on the leather. Note, I still need to mark the holes on the pattern before I cut it out. Every other holster I've made I have just kind of punched holes as I went without any kind of pattern. We will see how this goes. Doing it this way should allow me to do some tool some fancy designs into it, so that is a plus. If this goes well I may try my hand at a simple cartridge belt.

  3. This is on the Starbucks. Police were doing their job. Maybe they could have done it better, but assuming they do it the same for every skin color I don't really find much fault with them. Once somebody is considered trespassing they have every right to make them leave or arrest them. The real issue is why the Starbucks decided to consider them tresspassing.

    Spent my first honeymoon there. Lots of fun driving around in your pink Jeep and skinny dipping in your private pool while they slip your breakfast through the wall.

    Breakfast glory hole?

    I'm not sure I know what our downstairs bathroom looks like anymore.  I pee off the back deck every chance I get.

    The problem comes when I let the dog out and I pee off the deck while he's doing his.  Occasionally he'll run back to the house and if I don't move or shut it off, he would run right through the stream.

    Same here. My house is built on a hill, so the back porch is a second story. Except my dog stays outside and wanders into my stream of his own volition.

    At least he’s not a transgender lesbian of color. I have no problem with any of those things but to pretend they would have been “tolerant” of those things in the Middle Ages is silly. 

    About the closest I've heard of is Louis XIV's brother, but it appears that was tolerated because it made him less of a threat for the throne.

    I stopped by my local gun shop to buy the HK P2000 they had and it was sold. Is this a sign to save money? Anyone own one? 

    It's a sign that you need to buy some old school iron. Maybe start with an Uberti 1847 Walker replica. That should scratch an itch you didn't know you had.

  8. Picture not showing up. But if it is leaning over anything that isn't yours and falls you could be held liable. Especially if you were aware of should have been aware that it could be a problem. Starting this thread could qualify. Post a better pic and we can tell you more.

    That seems to be the consensus, seems like auto-indexing and progressive presses are more pistol/small rifle only. I’m looking at RCBS, probably the way I’ll go.

    Hornady has good pricing and a broad market presence, and their progressive press has some fans, I just kinda get the feeling they are the McDonalds of the reloading world or something. RCBS, Dillon, Redding, Lee all seem to get more positive mentions on reloading forums than Hornady.

     

    I'd get a turret press. I think that's still considered single stage, but you can leave your dies in and adjusted to negate that as a source of variation between batches.

    If his wife is Hispanic, he wants nothing to do with anything East of Fayetteville.  The four towns in Northwest Arky are all pretty good, actually, and they fit into this discussion.  They collectively total about 500,000 people so I guess it depends how you define "small town."  Don't kid yourself, though.  That area is nice but it's surrounding by Hillbillies to the East and North and Okie Trailer trash and casinos to the South and West.

    I think some of you are confusing what a "small town," is.  Cities of 200,000 aren't "small towns" and suburbs like Boerne aren't "small towns."  I guess my definition is something under 20,000 people that is more than an hour from a metro area.  That means your universe is almost exclusively that town.  If you're 30 minutes away from a metro area, you're going there all of the time and just living in some small town.

    Screw living in a small town, though.  What are you doing after 3 months on a daily basis?  

    Also, why is small town living the dream of the old white guy?

    We went camping a few weeks ago at Mount Magazine and liked Danville because of the Mexican population and food available, but if we were to buy some land in Arkansas it would have to be in or near the National Forest and that isn't the best location. We are both into backpacking and rock climbing and stuff, so anything we look at would have to be near a lot of outdoor recreation opportunities for us to consider it.

  11. Yeah, I have carry guns and evil black rifles that suit my needs just fine, so I find myself lusting over historic guns more and more these days. From both single action and double action revolvers to old school interwar automatics. I would really love to find a British Bulldog or one of the many copies made in a caliber that is relatively easy to find or reload. Maybe I just need to get a C&R License. My wife would hate me though.

  12. I think the thing that makes a lot of 80's movies so fun is they were made with conviction. Sure, one of the greatest movies to come out of this decade is about how a bouncer saves the whole town, but they told the story with such conviction that it is halfway believable. I think Point Break is the last great 80's movie even though it was made in the 90's. It still has that all in feeling where they are going to tell this ridiculous story like it is serious despite how ridiculous the story is. Now we can't seem to make a movie like that without breaking the fourth wall and winking at the audience.

    She's fucking beautiful (the one that some of y'all think has "butterface") and I'm glad that she's in season 2. 

    I've also always had a thing for Thandie Newton.  That accent alone is hot as Hell.

    She's a complete butterface sometimes, but if caught at the right angle with the right expression on her face she can be hot. But then she moves and it's back to butterface.

  14. I feel like this would be better if it was set in the 50's version of dystopia instead of our modern version of it. Maybe more of a Hunger Games feel and less of a Minority Report feel. But I'll probably watch it still.
