  1. 95% of the squares on the front line can easily be identified as to whether or not they have a mine just from what you can see from what is already revealed there.
  2. You could start dang near anywhere.
  3. Even if your old cord worked fine, go by a new one. The newer galaxies are a lot more finicky about that stuff. I'd either just get a Samsung cord, or do some reading about which brands work best with the S22's specifically with Android auto.
  4. I got that, I was just under the impression that if you put a rifle upper on it that is too big for it to be shot with one hand easily then it would show intent to shoulder it even with the brace and they would then classify it as a rifle, and once a rifle always a rifle. After looking it up, the once a rifle always a rifle part is wrong, as I posted from the ATF website. However, with the new rules (should they actually pass muster) they would probably classify it as a rifle as long as the rifle length upper is attached, but there is nothing wrong with converting it back to a pistol, so there should be no worries keeping the original pistol length upper. If the once a rifle always a rifle bit was true, then you could get into trouble keeping the short upper unless you had another lower that was a pistol lower or an SBR lower. But it's not true, so he would be free to switch it back and forth.
  5. Ok, I found the proper answer. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/can-i-lawfully-make-pistol-rifle-without-registering-firearm Can I lawfully make a pistol into a rifle without registering that firearm? Assuming that the firearm was originally a pistol, the resulting firearm, with an attached shoulder stock, is not an NFA firearm if it has a barrel of 16 inches or more in length. Pursuant to ATF Ruling 2011-4, such rifle may later be unassembled and again configured as a pistol. Such configuration would not be considered a “weapon made from a rifle” as defined by 26 U.S.C. § 5845(a)(4). [26 U.S.C. § 5845, 27 CFR § 479.11]
  6. It's probably not discussed here much because it is on HBO and this is the Netflix thread.
  7. Yeah, but putting a carbine upper on it makes it too unwieldy to shoot with just a brace, which demonstrates intent to shoulder it, which means it has been redesigned as a rifle and once a rifle, always a rifle, which means you'd better get rid of the 10.5" upper unless you have another pistol lower or and SBR lower or you risk showing constructive intent to create and unregistered SBR.
  8. If you ever instal that upper on it,it becomes forever a rifle and reinstalling the pistol upper makes it an SBR no matter how the brace thing shakes out, if I recall correctly. But who TF even knows anymore?
  9. The new rules are BS, but it isn't too terribly difficult to comply. Not that they will last long. And if you still have the upper than you still have a potential SBR. Much more so if you put actual rifle stocks on all of your lowers. Constructive intent and all that. The best thing to do is run a tight ship and wait.
  10. I think a lot of the big metro areas are still growing enough to support these prices for now, but small town Texas has seen the same crazy price increases despite there being no underlying reason for them other than prices have increased in the city. It wasn't sustainable before inflation really took off, and it isn't sustainable now. Lower end wages in these areas have increased, but not the wages of most of the folks who would be buying these homes. As factors like in the OP set in, and as people who stretched their budget before inflation to buy a house in these areas that was 40% than the previous year start to feel the pain, I expect there will be a reckoning. Will it work it's way into the cities that are growing? I dunno. But for small town Texas there really isn't a good way out of this.
  11. No comments on the sky penis? Y'all are slipping.
  12. Halfway through the latest episode, but I had to stop by to say that Chloe Grace Moretz would have been pretty much perfect casting for Ashoka Tano. Every scene she is in I can't help but think about how she not only looks like her, but she embodies the energy that she has as well.
  13. 1899 was definitely worth wwatching. It was nothing jaw dropping or anything, but I don't regret watching it.
  14. Well, to be fair, they also wrote Declan on another one.
  15. Taking turns playing on my grandad's old tractor.
  16. I'm jealous of y'all out farther west. I hunted all evening out here in the piney woods of Panola County and didn't see anything. We're all timber, and with enough oak trees on the place that there are still plenty of acorns on the ground. The deer could care less about corn, so you pretty much have to get lucky to even see anything.
  17. Whether or not you can legally carry a handgun into a bar is tied to it's status according to the crooks at TABC. If they make 51% or more of their income from the sale of alcohol for on premises consumption, then it is illegal to carry. If not, then it is perfectly legal. Now, keep in mind that this metric is also used for lots of other stuff that affects how much revenue they bring in and how much taxes they have to pay, so there are reasons to manipulate it.
  18. Nothing says class like last years empty beer bottle holding open the window of your blind, which, in a previous life, was actually one of crappiest travel trailers you can imagine only if you don't suck at imagining crappy things.
  19. Anybody got any decent updates more recent than Sunday? Did they kill all the protestors, or what?
  20. They probably just have the traditional veg tanned leather insole. If you go with those, it will mold to your feet as you wear them.
  21. Well, technically it was another website. Surly's record is spotless.
  22. Only three months? Nice.
  23. Yeah, but most of them didn't come from countries we were at war with.
  24. If you are American, your ancestors did something about their situation. They got up and went to a new place for a fresh start. For many of them, that new place was hostile, and they had to fight to survive. And it turned out the old place was still trying to screw them over, so they had to fight a revolution and kick the king's men out. Some of them moved to Texas for a fresh fresh start, and had to fight another revolution. If you're ancestors goes back very far, revolution is pretty much bred into you as an American. But even if it doesn't chances are your ancestors were the kind who got up and left their old country to go somewhere new. Old World countries? Well, there's just been pretty much the same people for hundreds or even thousands of years. Doing nothing but get by.
