  1. When I was working for a Washington Superior Court in the early 80s, an attorney buddy of mine bought his first house at a little over 15% mortgage interest. The Washington Public Power Supply (WPPS, often referred to as “Whoops”), a local utility, was issuing bonds at 20%. I guess if you have a paid-off home and paid off car (even if modest ) and not a lot of debt, you will be part of America’s widening financial disparity future. As inflation raises real estate prices, you eventually might be able to sell your home at the top of the bubble and sit on the beach actually earning something near 20%. Sort of an ex-pat’s dream scenario. I have an old WIN (Whip Inflation Now) button somewhere from those times. The funny thing about history is that it keeps doing the same shit - and we act surprised every time it happens again.
  2. Once Trump finds out how much the world is clowning him for being Putin’s pussy (if he can find that information from people keeping it from him that is), he just might put sanctions on Russia. Not because he gives a shit about Ukraine, but because he looks weak compared to Putin and people are laughing at him. As good citizens, we should try to cover the Interwebs with memes and GIFs making him look like Putin’s bitch. To support Ukraine.
  3. You “happily” voted for him three times, including the first time when the government had to bail out farmers after he fucked everything up… just like he fucked it up again when you voted for him the third time. It angers you that the Libs think they are so much smarter than you, and look down on you as stupid because you are from a rural area. Honey, it ain’t the rural, it’s the stupidity…
  4. Maybe he picked the snake up to look at his anal plates?
  5. Correct. Bermuda might catch some tropical storm winds, given the large size of the wind field. And there is always enough error in a long-term forecast to keep Bermuda on its toes
  6. Shit! I missed this earlier. I am so happy for you. Fuck yeah!
  7. Very lax reporting. Should day “ fires”.🔥 🔥
  8. And all the avowed segregationists who showed up to throw rocks at buses bringing black children to their school would show up every Sunday and teach Bible school and bring pound-cakes to shut-ins. They would check on their white neighbors - and lend them a truck if theirs was temporarily broken down. IOW, “extremely decent” people. If some uppity blacks were lynched for being uppity, those same people would not shed a tear, and they certainly wouldn’t turn in the Klan member neighbors who they thought participated. Being decent to your own is not worth much if you’re not decent to everybody. And that is the simple truth. Edit: I did not read the thread before I responded and so did not see the brisket post right above me
  9. Again, Bruin, we do not kink shame here.
  10. Not Mexican, but pancakes were on the lunch and dinner menu, as was the delicious bologna and processed cheese product on white bread sammich! And this feast over rice.
  11. It looks like Trump is going to be issuing CPI reports in future written in sharpie. He will just skip the nerd stuff and cut right to the chase showing that no president has ever had better numbers.
  12. Little known factoid: every astronaut who walked on the moon was a former Eagle Scout.
  13. If only there was another way to express that, like just one word…
  14. During my ATO years at Florida, we called our fraternity brothers from there the “Polk County Primitives”. The one brother who turned out to have a KKK membership card was one of them.
  15. Damn! Can they staple a Twinkie into the organ wall as a hole block - you know - something that will never dissolve or be absorbed by your system? I missed that experience, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.
  16. Look, monitoring your son’s porn consumption is a time-gobbling task.
  17. So - you can take the length, can’t take the length take the length, can’t take the length take the length, etc. Annoying. Hang in there, buddy.
  18. Er…. How did the prior six work out?
  19. 1) I own two revolvers with 1.87 inch barrels in .32 caliber. Firing .32 long is barely more than a .22 recoil. I would be surprised if your experience was different. 2) nothing about the discussion involved the price of ammo. i’m not saying that’s not a valid consideration in some circumstances, but the poster in question can probably buy any ammo he wants. 3) .32 ACP is not a revolver round, but an auto round. Options? Lord, nobody will ever agree on guns. My recommendation was solely based on the fact that the potential user was not a gun guy, and for a variety of reasons a person who does not train actively would likely be more comfortable with a revolver. It eliminates the uncertainty of a safety if one is present, and folks who are not gun people usually prefer a safety. Maybe it was my assumption, but a wife who is not gun friendly he might eventually try to coax into being familiar with a weapon would find firing 32 short or long to be as user-friendly as possible. Many women find operating a slide on a semi auto to be difficult and/or a dealbreaker. The .327 is an outstanding defense round. Which was one of the concerns for him, but not the only concern. A Hi-Point 9 and some white box. ammo would definitely be cheaper. Feel free to message me, but I won’t gun up the leopard’s thread anymore. but full disclosure, I’m a .327 fanboi
  20. Why do you hate 3K yearly deductions? That is an integral part of my yearly tax return strategy.
  21. I vote for Ruger LCR IN .327. Wheel guns go “bang” without worrying you have the safety on - or forgot to rack a round into the chamber when things get exciting. It shoots no/low recoil .32 short and long rounds - .32 magnum rounds with a bit more oomph - and .327 hollow point wrist snappers that are a potent defense round. IOW, it is a revolver that has a round for any shooter in the family to practice with without fear of recoil until they become comfortable with the next step up. And the four round choices means that you’ll be able to find something to fire at the evil paper targets. And if you need a handgun for protection, and don’t intend on going to the range, a Taurus judge fires a .410 shell full of tungsten goodies that will make an intruder unhappy they did not leave - and accuracy is less of a problem, it being shotgun-ish.
  22. So - if they hate each other for real, that means they could each select the type of strap on to use on the other?
