Easter.
(((They)))) did it.
The joke was made last night. ((They)) outsourced it to the Italians.
Happy Easter you magnificent bastards.
“was made” Nice passive voice.
MY JOKE! I EXPECT ROYALTIES.
I try to avoid calling people out.
And the joke is older then you!
/pours a sweet white for OMWC
Last time you (((guys))) asked for royalty you got Saul and were all pissed about him.
Open… post?
How am I supposed to go off topic?!
Oh, in my procrastination, I stumbled onto This old thing
That should have been used for His birth, not death / resurrection.
Look, I said I’ve been procrastinating.
Those are some delicious looking claws.
More procrastination
Technologically racist….tsk tsk tsk.
The topic is Easter candy. Best and worse. Are Peeps the greatest thing ever or what. Now you have something to freely ignore.
I’ll chose what.
/tosses AlimightyJB some Necco wafers.
Mmmmm…chalk.
You misspelled chocolate. Chocolate Necco Wafers. Right up there with stale Peeps and stale Circus Peanuts.
Here’s a timely poem for you:
Chocolate Necco
Is totally blecch-o.
Other than the fact that they are two goddamned dollars and fiddy cents apiece, these are probably better than peeps.
Your link says they are $4.95 each.
For two.
I didn’t read that far but they look good.
Two per pack
Those do look good
Cadbury’s AIGS are like crack to me.
Ugh. I used to love them.
If I tried to eat one now, I’d probably have to spit I out from sugar overload.
Keto?
Yup. Your palette really does recalibrate.
True. I had the same experience.
I have no sweet tooth. I can eat sweet spicy stuff like BBQ, but I never eat candy. On holidays, I might sample a one of a few cookies.
Homemade marshmallow is the best, and only, answer.
It is a sticky mess, so you should only make it naked.
And get it stuck to my hair?
No thanks.
#MerkinMess
I’ll take good old-fashioned jelly beans.
Who makes Old-Fashioned flavored jelly beans?
Someone out there. I don’t know who, but I know it’s out there.
I swear I’ve seen bourbon flavored ones.
The black ones, artificial anise flavor, are my faves.
Fourscore: If you want self hatred, I live near the largest candy store in the world, and can send you whatever hellish treats you want.
Thanks, Neph, for your kind offer. I try to avoid candy as much as possible, its my Achilles’s heel. I’ll take a rain check but thanks anyway. You’re another unmet good friend.
Nestlé Sno-Caps chocolate nonpareils.
The perfect movie candy, and incredible over ice cream.
Fight me.
I pointed that out once and got shot down.
Some people.
Eh…chocolate almonds. But, their boxes tend to be similar, so…agree to disagree?
“Nestlé Sno-Caps chocolate nonpareils.

That’s not even a good troll.”
Ronald Reagan?
Look, it’s an educated inference based upon what I’ve seen of the country and the custom food industry.
I would have guessed Jelly Belly, but apparently they just have fruity cocktail flavored beans.
Ainta gonna vouch for ’em, but try Russell Stover.

Peeps must be unwrapped and appropriately aged before consumption.
Got off work early, survived the corona-cooties one more day, and now for dinner.
Wait. No. Must drink. Then dinner.
Oh yeah. Glib staff is what I call my…
Infection?
Exactly. How did you know?
If I drink before eating, I usually never get around to eating.
Drinking gives me the munchies. ’Specially beer. :-/
A problem I had
Somehow, ‘drinking then dinner’ usually turns into drinking, then getting emotional about loss, then watching depressing movies about war, then passing out.
That’s not so bad. Beats waking up outside or in the drunk tank or covered with blood.
Open post. I have big ideas, but no clue how to accomplish them.
I suggest Glienlivet.
*sigh*
Glenlivet.
The Glen Civet? Makes sense, you get coffee from the excrement of southeast asian civets, I’m sure you get booze from the excrement of the scottish civets.
So a Brit, a Mick, and a Scotsman were at a pub. Somehow a fly landed in all of their drinks. The Brit asked for a replacement, the Mick pulled the fly out and finished the drink, the Scotsman pulled the fly out started hitting it on the back and shouted, “Spit it out you bastard!”
LOL:)
So a Chinese, a Japanese, and a Korean, go to a fancy restaurant. The maître d’ stops them at the door.
“Sorry, gentlemen, you can’t come in here without a Thai.”
What do you call ‘Scottish Tea’?
Hot water.
+ 1 pebble
Oh, you do NOT want that. Scottish civets are the civet version of that “Fat Bastard” character.
It’s all the fried food they keep offering the civets.
Mmmmmmmm, King ribs.
Sounds like it could be a gnarly military unit.
Glenlivet used to be my go-to evening tipple for a nightcap. That or maybe a good Anejo Tequila.
Then y’all started talking about bourbon and rye so I gave each a try. Now I generally have one of each in the cabinet. My go to bourbon tens to be Woodford reserve.
So now my evening refrain reminds me of and old Simon & Garfunkel tune with new lyrics – “Are you going to have a few drinks, Bourbon, Scotch, Tequila, and Rye…”
My liver now officially hates you all.
Have you done the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. That’s definitely one of my favs. Great Smokey flavor. Last purchase was Elijah Craig and I really like that as well.
What’s your favorite tequila?
Me neither!
Cocktail?
Probably not a good idea, since I’m 3 pints in…Aw, fuckit. Hit me.
3 pints? Piker!
/pours out a Duvel can
My big, multi-million dollar idea (totally ripped off from UCS)
Miniature. Sheep.
For house pets. I’ll make a fortune!
Itll be a Scotish orgy every night.
Nope. I had to wash those assholes before sheering one year. Sheep don’t use toilet paper.
The shear amount of maintenance sheep require make dogs look self-sufficient.
By the time we’ve got them bred down to Cocker Spaniel size, we’ll have that all figured out.
But Sheep at least taste better then dogs. (Running on assumption based on what meats I can purchase in grocery stores).
Mutton seems pretty rare in the U.S.
Fun fact, it is apparently legal to label mutton as ‘lamb’ and sell it.
Mutton and lamb are mildly different. But I can get both at my local butchers.
Mutton is big in KY BBQ joints. Originally typed W instead of Q. Should have left it:)
Can you recommend one? At some point in the next year I’ll be passing theough Kentucky.
All you need to know about dining in Kentucky: Middle Fork Kitchen Bar in Lexington.
http://www.middleforkkb.com/
Assuming they survive.
Not rare in New Mexico/Arizona/Utah. It’s a staple food among the Diné I know. Mutton, that is.
There ain’t nuttin’ like your mutton!
I honestly don’t know anything about KY BBQ joints. My son in law is from Owensboro and worked at Moonlite BBQ there. He said it’s great and they have great Mutton there. If you do go through Owensboro, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame is there.
They don’t seem to have mutton but this place had the best brisket I have ever eaten.
Yes, but the fathers of all the little girls who will be demanding them won’t know that until after they buy the first one!
Miniature sheep?
Please tell me there’s no duct tape involved.
Velcro.
Pfft, miniature unicorns or GTFO. Surely someone can figure out a way to get a horn to grow on a miniature horse!
We had a lamb for a house pet growing up for half a year. Her name was Bambi. Her mother died giving birth to her so we bottle fed her. First she had a cardboard box, then we made a doggie bed for her.
Eventually she got big enough to join the rest of the herd.
Now she’s tweeting that there need to be more lockdowns?
Free range tampons
My parents used to breed and show poodles, so kept them in show cuts. One of my friends referred to them as ‘tampons with legs’.

Spot the Not: Dr. Fauci
1. I enjoy very much communication. I think that scientists need to communicate.
2. True health care reform cannot happen in Washington. It has to happen in our kitchens, in our homes, in our communities. All health care is personal.
3. Is it or is it not ethical to create an embryo, and to create a person for the purpose of getting an organ to give to someone else? Your knee-jerk reaction is ‘absolutely not;’ but you need the ethical analysis of that to show why and how that is something that you need to stay away from.
4. The worst potential bio-terrorist is nature itself.
5. I think it would be over-exaggeration to think that there are millions of viruses ready to jump on us and bring us back to the 14th century. That would be looking over a ledge that isn’t there.
6. Human nature is weak.

Ahhhhhh…burn it with fire!
Took a nap then decided I need a pick me up. I hate the world right now so I need to be reminded there are beautiful things out there.
If only the filmmakers hadn’t included the sound of their voices.
Meh, those girls rip!
I had to fast-forward. But that could be bunk-worthy.
They look a bit spare for you.
Reminds me that being a hot, young chick is a superpower in itself.
I have a friend who went off the rails in her early thirties. Pretty hot chick…. abandoned her family to go sailing around the Carribean with a bunch of wealthy dudes in their 40’s and 50’s. They just gave her stuff, took her places, bought her meals and drinks and clothes and things…. Just on a “I’m a hot chick, can I have stuff for free” ticket. It isn’t an entirely uncommon story around these parts.
You know what I’ve never heard of? Some 29 year old dudes with no job and no future having a bunch of women just buy them stuff and fly them around the world for companionship.
It’s almost like men and women are different.
Bigot!
You know what I’ve never heard of? Some 29 year old dudes with no job and no future having a bunch of women just buy them stuff and fly them around the world for companionship.
It’s like the entire premise of this Psych episode
?
“I’ve heard it both ways.”
“…abandoned her family…”
She sounds like a real peach. I imagine the family got the better end of that deal.
The new wife is an emotional upgrade, that’s for sure.
I really like that family. They are really smart, spend a great deal of time on school and church, super talented in music and art and other areas…. and they are scam artists involved in chiropractic and various CAM supplement businesses.
They absolutely make no sense. And I love that. I’m draw to people who are walking contradictions.
The kids are great kids – smart, beautiful, athletic, extremely personable…. and yet… the oldest moved out at 15 when the mom went bonkers. He lived with grandma until he moved out on his own in his early 20’s. The next oldest is running off with his girlfriend… The other two are still in elementary and middle school….
None of it makes sense.
Meanwhile, the mom was the one who was most down to earth… and she turned into a polyamorous gypsy getaround who flirts with rich old men for a living while hooking up with a series of fellow gypsy guys for her fun. And all of them are shamelessly drawn in to her web of support. She went from an ultra-conservative christian homeschooling mom to pretty much the exact opposite in a matter of days.
They’d actually make a great reality show.
I’m not sure I would call those girls “no talent”. Not everybody can do what they do and I find it cool af. I can’t do it.
That’s because they can only afford to fly them 72% of the way around the world.
LOL
Yep. That does it.
I wish I was back in my 20s. Kite surfing looks like so much fun. Kite surfing with hot chicks in skimpy bathing suits looks like even more fun.
I attempted to take it up back in 2001’ish when I was stuck in OK. I tried to teach myself with videos and reading and after a few bouts of almost drowning myself I decided to take a camping trip to Corpus and took a lesson. The wind did not cooperate and it was a dud few days which is rare for corpus. Fast fwd over the next almost twenty years I have had multiple lessons in multiple places. I can fly the kite fine. I can’t fly the kite and work my feet on a board. It is very three dimensional. It is the only sport that did not come natural to me and why I find it so amazing. I too wish it had been around when I was 20. Kite boarding is the shizznet! The last lesson I had was on Maui. My instructor was the cutest little Brazilian lady and a good instructor. She is in many kiteboarding videos and sponsored so I was told by the other instructors. I got up and was going and then yard saled it and she had to help me get to shore. She steered my kite as I hung onto her to get back to shore. Worth it!
I missed my window…. we had it all set up back when it first became a thing… but life, kids, the business all intervened and I never did pursue the hobby.
I was out on a little catamaran sailboat one day, about a mile offshore near Ft. Lauderdale when I heard a weird hissing sound. We were whipping along pretty good across the wind.. but this was not us.
I looked around and here comes this guy on a kiteboard…. he was going at a ridiculous pace… right toward my head. At the last moment he switched the kite back, bit the board into the water and launched himself to crazy heights, right over the top of our mast. It was astonishing. He must have been 30 feet in the air….. he landed on the other side of the boat about 20 feet from where he launched… splonked under the water up to his chest or more… there was a long pause as the kite did its work.. and then he launched away again, easily at twice our speed.
After that moment I had the same feeling you did…. this was something I had to do. I’ve been 2 miles from one of the most active kitesurfing locations anywhere for the last decade and a half… and never did make the time before I got too old and out of shape.
This is why we are boned. The GOP is the worst.

We did bloody Marys with a new vodka. (rain, I think. Cool bottle. Don’t waste your time) The three shots I had while mixing stuff up did the trick, more than the two in the glass….. Two of those was all I could handle… Bloody Mary is a pain in the rear from scratch.
Still, I’m old and fat. Only made it to “almost kinda buzzed”. Apparently 7 shots in an hour ain’t gonna do it….
The Sister in Law made it to “happy to sit here on the couch and laugh at classic Little Rascals episodes” on just the two rounds, so something must have gone right.
With the end of the world happening. At least my local strudel shop is open. My Friday goal is to wake up early enough to walk up there and back before I’m supposed to work.
My friday goal is to not replace the TV i replaced the TV I fell into last friday after GlibsZoom
Not my fault.
I’m supposed to be down in Canal Winchester in August. Supposed to be.
Do you have another TV?
Oddly enough, some places have insane deals on TV’s. My supermarket, for some unknown reason, was selling 4K 50″ for less than $300.
Pre-infected from Wuhan?
I doubt it. Probably Malaysia.
Is it possible to buy a new tv that was not made in China?
I’m hoping some come from Korea.
Yes.
Please share some knowledge.
I would have to look up specifics, but last I checked the Japanese and Korean companies not only made TV’s in Japan and Korea, but other non-CCP asian countries.

I had an idea. Maybe I’ll go sit on an offramp in Bozeman with a “Will
AssassinateImpeach Governor Bullock for Food” sign.Why the hell do they need a social distancing rule in Montana? There are places around Bozeman you could take off walking and never see another human being again for the rest of your life.
Just because you’ve become animal chow before you reach the next human…
It’s true even if you don’t become bear food. Have you ever been to Bozeman?
The Fargo-Forth Worth line is the furthest west I’ve gotten.
Bozeman takes wild mountain wilderness to an entirely different level. You probably won’t see anything like that in the USA unless it’s in Alaska.
Unless you deliberately turn to avoid it, you’ll leave montana and eventually either reach a populated area – or the sea.
Almost all of these rules make no sense. They shut down most of NYC, then pack people into subway cars like cans of sardines.
“pack people into subway cars like cans of sardines.”

The last time I was in Manhattan at Times Square, you literally could not walk without constantly running into other people, I mean like every second. I hate it, never going back there again.
Well I am back. They doubled down on stupid here by imposing a curfew on top of the other orders. So a buddy and I went for a multi-day sail and snuck over to a neighboring island and back. We caught a mahi-mahi on the way over and had it for dinner and breakfast and caught a pair of ahi on the way back. I’ll grill some tonight, we already had our own poki.
Screw these people. Freedom and not safety is this highest good.
Best comment of the day! And damn you! Super jealous.

Yeah, I know. The proggies living in mum’s basement who are going to start a ‘revolution’. And the cops who love to play soldier by knocking down someone’s door at 4am with a SWAT team armed to the teeth, but who would pee their pants if thrown onto a battlefield where they know the other people are going to maybe be awake and definitely going to shoot back.
Their side is getting everything they want without leaving their basement. Why would they need to hit the trenches?
Which is exactly the problem. We are so fucked.

Happy Easter, I’ve been mostly absent trying to enjoy this day rather than be dragged down by the insanity in this world. Rember this:

I understand that the Chinese have been selling a drop-in parts kit which converts Glocks to full auto. I don’t know where they have been advertising but they have been using some intermediary in the US to receive bulk shipments and send the individual units to the purchasers. This makes it difficult to trace where they are coming from since the shipments to the purchasers don’t go through customs.

Still better than the po-faced faux-gravitas the Capitol insists on.

Wasn’t that technically outside chambers?
Been a while since I read up on that.
Just remember that, even with all this, they still managed to devolve into the current, modern UK.
Made Easter dinner. The only thing I didn’t make from scratch was the gravy and it was thinner than Kate Moss, so I had to beef it up quite a bit with ye olde corne starche tricke.
All in all it’s not bad, but it’s just another reminder of why I don’t cook dinner every night. What I made is just a normal dinner for my mom when I was growing up.
Maybe its easier with lots of practice?
It wasn’t hard, just takes a while.
Lots of cooking isn’t hard. It’s the timing that’s a bitch.
Patience + willingness to follow instructions carefully = good cook. Add understanding of theory and you have chef. Add imagination and you have great chef.
Me and my sister had to deal with my mom as a cook. Both of us have learned to cook since then. The girlfriend’s mom didn’t understand how I could schedule everything to be ready at the same time.
Yep. That is the real trick.
Truth. Even I still end up serving some meals where at least one of the sides is a bit cold.
Until that bites you in the ass. “No, dear, the air fryer isn’t the same as the oven. Or, the toaster oven, for that matter. You’re gonna have to stay close by, to see how the item cooks, instead of slavishly going by the directions on the package. So, no just running off to get back on the computer.”
Yes. I wanted it to be hot when XX got home from work. Turns out all she had to eat at work was a bottle of Gatorade and came home nauseated.
Sauces and gravies are an entire universe. It gives me great joy to explore that universe. As a matter of fact I just today purchased a blackberry merlot that I intend to make a butter sauce with. I have used merlot to do it before but not blackberry, a fruit which is distinctly different in taste than grapes.
Remove cooked steaks from pan, place on cast iron plates and tuck in oven set on warm
Melt half stick of butter in pan
Pour in 1/2 to 3/4 cup blackberry merlot
1 crushed garlic clove
1 crumbled chicken bullion cube
Deglaze pan with spatula and keep stirring until well mixed. As it begins to boil you will get the strong smell of wine
Keep stirring. It will cook down and thicken. The instant it is ready you will know by the change in the smell. It won’t smell like wine anymore, it will be much more hearty and delicious smelling. It will also be cooked down to about 1/4 cup.
Put steaks in front of your victims and tell them to lean back a bit. Pour sauce directly from pan onto steaks.
Oh this reminds me. Can you post your oven orange chicken recipe again?
Certainly.
Simple version:
For two skinless leg quarters
:::::::
Sprinkle chicken generously with spice mix. You can use Old Bay or any spice mix you want. I use a Cajun rub that is quite hot. I love the hot/sweet mix
Bake your chicken at 425 with the insides up. After about 40 minutes flip the chicken with the outsides up. You can do it with skin-on but I find the sauce sticks better if it is skinless.
Have a mix of 2 tablespoons of Jam/Jelly/marmelade – two tablespoons of ketchup – 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire – a sprinkle of granulated garlic on hand. Slather the chicken generously on the up-side with the sauce and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes. You want the sauce to turn into a sticky glaze but not burn so keep an eye on it.
Very simple and easy. It takes less than a minute to rub the chicken and three minutes to mix up the sauce. Then you just wait. You can use any fruit preserves, in your case Orange marmalade. I have used apricot, kumquat, Orange, grape, and lemon marmelade. Now that I think of it the lemon was particularly delicious.
By the way, it works great on pork ribs as well.
Serve over rice.
Thank you!!!
You can add in a little spice of. your choice. Paprika is good, a little black pepper is good. After you do it a few times you will get the hang of what spices are compatible.
It is almost a perfect dish. Sweet/hot/salty/hearty/some body/garlicky(bitter). If you add a side salad you also have light/cruncy so the meal covers a wide spectrum of taste and texture. Overall a great meal with minimal effort.
This is some damned fine relaxin’ wine, ri’chere!
Introduced my FIL to it, and now, we take him a bottle every year for his b-day.
Remind me later, and I’ll put you through gravy school.
It’s not that deep for me. LOL
Well, if you ever want to know. Feel free to ask.
I am torn between totinos frozen pizza with ham added (Easter!) and pasta with leftover sauce from the lasagna that needs to be eaten or chucked.
That’s what freezers are for.
Also, Idea of Pizza (IOP) is always better than no pizza at all. And if there is pineapple on it, then it’s not even IOP.
I have a weakness for Totinos frozen pizzas. Absolutely no nutritional value and endless empty carbs but throw on a bit of provolone and maybe some ham and they are delicious. Add a side of Kraft mac and cheese and it is a broke ski bum trip down memory lane. If I smoked some weed and put on the Dire Straights I might never come back.
Me too!
I also didn’t get my ham glaze to caramelize.
Me neither. Wife took a shower.
Ubiquitous use of water as a plasticizer.
The truly
badfunny part is that I can both see and hear you saying this.Well, yeah, now that everybody knows how I talk! ?
I normally do something fancy/extravagant on Easter dinner, but this year, was just a chicken and cream pasta. I don’t cook *every* night, but probably five nights a week, over any given week, I do. I finish up with work, head into the kitchen, turn up the music offensively loud, and rock out while I put together the evening meal. It’s a way for me to unwind after spending all day in front of a computer.
Sometimes I crank the music in my ears and clean my kitchen for a little catharsis.
I also turn up the music offensively loud when I’m cleaning, too. Hey, if I’m playing Cinderella, the rest of the family can suffer my taste in music if they don’t want to help. I just like offensively loud music.
Oh, heh. For me it’s Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Tuxedo. Dance/funk for me to clean and walk to.
Or else Angel and the Mambokats. (Disclaimer: Angel is a personal friend, but we became friends after I fangirled at just the right moment. He’s trying to get me to market on Instagram. I don’t even know how you’d market books on Instagram.)
If you’re confessing to Robin Thicke and Bruno Mars, I’ll admit to Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and My Chemical Romance mixed into regular rotation, along with Eels, Rev Horton Heat, Gomez, and Danny Morris Band (a former local I used to fangirl over, myself).
Robin Thicke, like Miracle Whip, has his place and uses.
Eels, you say?
You mean like this Cinderella?
The woman I co-supervised with at my last agency, has GYPSYRD as her license plate.
Yeah.
I made Tulip’s chili for Easter dinner. Takes a while but well worth it.

Coronavirus Drug Side Effects: What To Know About Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir
“Hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug infamously touted by President Trump as a cure for the virus”
Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t recall Trump calling it a cure. I’m sure they’ll quietly issue a correction…
He never said the virus was a hoax either.

Why am I freeting so much over the exact phrasing of the wording of these evaluation narratives on this probation report?
Also, why the fuck is the first probation report due a mere three pay periods after an employee starts?
And I don’t know what the expected learning curve is for training people in the work we do. I’ve been at it for twelve years, and it’s only ever been people leaving.
… oh, and I’m still far from an expert on the stuff we do. I’m just the most knowledgable person we’ve got for some of it.
Okay, I got 8 out of 9 narratives filled in. “Other” is still blank, but I can leave that for tomorrow.
Just think. This is now illegal. And will probably remain so for who knows how long.
You could make a drinking game out of turning on the television and spotting everything that’s “illegal” now.
I would play that.
That is a sure way to die of alcohol poisoning.
And that is just counting the crimes govt at all levels are committing.

Kentucky: Church parking lot packed with people in their cars who listen to the sermon played over an outdoor speaker. Cops take their license plate numbers, leave a pamphlet telling them they might be quarantined by their local health dept. Mind you, this is after volunteers cleared the parking lot entrances of nails before the service began; who put the nails there, the cops or random vandals, I don’t know.
Here’s another account of the story.
If nobody sees this tonight, I’ll repost it early tomorrow.
Here’s a third account.

“volunteers cleared the parking lot entrances of nails”
WTF??
Jesus, (Drink!) the comments are terrifying on the first article. Way too many Karen’s these days.
That’s exactly what it is….. people very quickly morphed from “that’s an over-reaction” into “if I can’t go to my girl’s night out, you can’t do (insert thing someone else wants to do)” This, regardless of any connection to spreading the virus.
It is Karen’s world now.
kinnath was asking about scopes on a Mini-14. Here is quick shot of two mounted scopes similar to some of the ones discussed on the last thread. I like both of them.
Scopes
Thanks for the photo
Of course it is hard to go wrong with a basic 4 power for a start.
Are those the factory scope rings on the mini-14? Is there enough clearance for a 50mm objective lense?
I got the Mini used. There are no markings on the rings so I’m not sure if they are factory. They are for the Ruger in that they have the half moon tab for the slot in the mounts. I don’t think 50mm would fit with these because of the bump in the handguard. I don’t have my calipers at home so I can’t measure the height of the rings. There should be different height rings available.
thanks

I like R Lee Ermey’s take:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VRrc2n0NXg
the field strip time comparison says a lot
One PIA point about the AR – if you get the bolt carrier jammed to the rear any more than a millimeter you can’t break the rifle down to clean it.
During the field exercise at Army NCO school one fellow student came to me with his AR jammed just like that. As I am intimately familiar with this rifle I was able to get it cleared and opened with a multi tool in the dark. But if this had happened under fire he would have been SOL. The AR is definitely more accurate than the AK but robust it ain’t.
I love how CNN left this up:

Happy Easter, everyone. This year, I was blessed with my children admitting to me that they knew mom and dad were the Easter Bunny, and they just wanted the candy, they didn’t need the extra trappings. Given the madness of the previous month and a half, and that ‘school’ is supposed to resume in some format on Tuesday, we were very happy to oblige.
Happy Easter!
What DEG said!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, LG!
My kids still want me to hide their baskets. They don’t really care about the candy. They like the hunt.
This was the first year we didn’t stay up late, and my husband didn’t get up stupid early to go all around the yard and hide all the eggs. I feel a bit sad at the end of a tradition – watching the kids find all the eggs, with us teasing them when they missed obvious ones, and then watching the two of them negotiate over the eggs and make trades. On the other hand, this was the first year I got to sleep in on Easter Sunday since my kids were born.
Did you skip the eggs because of covid, or because the kids grew out of it?
My mom never quit making us epic Christmas stockings until the day we moved out. Glad she did.
I made our Christmas stockings when XX was a baby. I thought I would be cute and make them oversized.
#protip Don’t do that. You spend a fortune filling them up (even if it IS just candy) and they still look sad and neglected. Talk about pointless art.
My 11 year old is wavering but still believes in Santa Claus. He isn’t sure how it works but still sees too much evidence proving his existence. My 9 year old is still convinced.
Age isn’t a factor. Look how many Democrats believe in Santa even when they are in their 70s.
Be careful with your purchase history on Amazon, that’s what gave it away to my kid. Well, that and my darling spouse’s Very Weak explanation for why the “previously purchased” category included Santa’s gift. I think he tried to float that Santa gets his stuff from amazon, too. Something like that, which made NO sense and was obviously a frantic coverup. One of those moments where you make frantic eyes at them to stop talking and they don’t. LOL
Tavor TS12 Shotgun
Looks like one would have to do a lot of training with it.
Yeah, I’ll stick with my 870 until I can afford an M4.
I’ve had multiple chances to get a Kel-Tec KSG. Haven’t jumped at the chance, so far. Sure hoping I won’t need it any time soon.
I wanted aTS12 for the last year or so, but am concerned about the unique operation so am thinking about gouging with this instead: not a shotgun
sorry, this; https://youtu.be/uHJA3iXelRs
This shotgun has always intrigued me
It would be an interesting project.

That video has been all I’ve ever seen of it. Definitely looks home brew. Appears to be a modified or copied 1919 LH sideplate and a M16 lower. I can imagine trying to feed square nosed and rimmed 12ga would be a bitch. Could be belt pitch issues.
I present the anti Q song.
So, I never talk about movies.
The spousal unit and I just finished watching “Bad Times at the El Royale.” Very odd. Highly recommended. Jeff Bridges, as usual, knocks it out of the park, but everyone else ain’t exactly slackin’ off, either. Great cast. Pour yourself a stiff one — you’ll need it for the last ten minutes of the flick.
Picked up the Tarnished Sterling omnibus yesterday. Just finished reading the first short story (Omnirunner). UCS claims to not be libertarian, but I’m slightly skeptical after that story.
UCS doesn’t claim to be libertarian.
No, UCS Makes claims that he doesn’t belong in the category of libertarian.
Lacks libertarian gloves?
? “I’m not a libertarian.” That’s what I remember him saying.
I was making a joke because Unreconstructed said USC claims to not be libertarian.
Unreconstructed said, “UCS claims to not be libertarian”
You’re all saying the same thing.
Then none of them are libertarian. They never say the same thing.
Put 10 libertarians in a room. What do you get?
11 opinions and a fist fight.
I’m a fiscal and social conservative.
There some overlap, and some differences.
With regards to Omnirunner, bear a few things in mind – The unreliable narrator is a professional thief, so he’s going to take a dim view of the authorities. Also, having the cops be as criminal as the rest of the cast allowed for a more interesting story with no one going ‘why did no one go to the police?’ There are no good guys in that story, which makes it as close to a noir tale as I’ve written. But Dan is the one telling the tale, so he’s going to paint himself in a more positive light.
I’ve also been slowly working to extend the events after the end to a longer format.

Stupidly I didn’t jump on the clippers until they were sold out. I knew they were going to be in demand but got sidetracked by other things. Dammit. I hate long hair. The beard trimmer doesn’t have a long enough guard to work unless I go short buzz. Might have to do it if things continue.
I can’t stand having long fingernails. I type a lot. I grew up playing piano. Also, they just aren’t anything to write home about when they’re long.
One day, I’m at work and I can’t type because my fingernails are too long. I have no fingernail clippers. Things are getting dire. I’m not working until I get my fingernails off.
Out come the big-ass office scissors. Yes. Yes, I really did. Every woman in that office gaped at me.
I have a black market hair cut lined up tomorrow. I look like a homeless guy.
Don’t cheap out. Get the Oster 76. They are around $125 but will, quite literally, last a lifetime. They’re the industry standard and have a wide variety of aftermarket accessories. I made decent booze money as a barracks barber in Army and have been cutting my own hair for decades. I often regret not pursuing it as a career, particularly after working with so many stylists on TV commercial shoots, It’s a good gig.
Can confirm. I have a considerably cheaper Wahl (I think it was around 75 bucks) but it’s more powerful than all the cheap ones I used to buy, and it doesn’t try to rip your hair out either.
Oh yeah, the horrible ripping from those $20 Conairs. Ouch!
Damn, l0b0t–you’re definitely one of our resident Renaissance Men.

I, of course, appreciate it much more as I age.
IIRC, Hank Jr. was 19 in this clip. I love this speedy arrangement of Midnight Special
Huh! That is quite good, and unexpected.
Kudos.
Have a Oster Fast Feed and a higher end Wahl on my watchlist. I was looking at the 76 but it doesn’t appear to come with any guide combs or blades larger than 1. I just need a 2 and 4 and I’m set. And really it’s just for now so doesn’t have to last forever. I did more than one high and tight back in the day with this guy. Frankly it was a better trimmer than anyone I’ve had since and was better made too.
I can’t add anything to these recos, other than to say I love it when the glibs offer theirs (eww). This is all good info for future purchasing, and thank all of you.

You want to hear about Shamki?
Absolutely.
In a nutshell, morphologically it’s similar to Afroasiatic languages with inflection of triconsonantal roots. Phonologically, there are a lot of ejectives and emphatics, but few labials. Because the culture of humanoid lizards who speak it revolves around trade and commerce, Shamki verbs have 7 to 8 levels of evidentiality. There are four genders (masculine, feminine, neuter, and divine).

Broke quarantine to have Easter dinner with my little brother; I tried to avoid anything politics (other than showing him my hat!) but did over hear his proggy wife and her proggy brother let slip a few complaints about the shit show (his wife even kind of suggested in a round about way that the second amendment might come into play to stop this).
They could spend time over at the TMZ comments–that’ll get ’em feelin’ all proggy again.

I do not think the situation is funny, regardless of cause. That said, my mind is keyed to remember this: https://youtu.be/IQRiMQwMOsI?t=80
Honestly though, sounds like suicide unless that is considered “foul play”.
I would think so, but, who knows what the military wants to conceal in these instances?
Could be either suicide or DCD (David Carradine’s Disease)
That is an interesting theory. Sad, but, interesting.

Then, you witness something (i.e frustration with the Wuhan Woe responses by governments), and you realize that, if you ever see them unleash their full wrath, you might as well stare at a nuclear explosion. So, I guess I’m suggesting you might be able to kill with intense radiation and a shockwave.

Soon-To-B-Ex Wifey made some roasted Brussels sprouts with a cheese/shallot/garlic/breadcrumb topping (it was very yummy). I made a prime rib. All of my local store were out of fresh tarragon so I had to use dried, but I splurged and used champagne and a lemon-champagne vinegar and the Bearnaise came out most excellent. At STBEW’s request, I made Yorkshire puddings. I guess her latest stab at no-carb is over (and she’s being suspiciously nice to me).
That went from ‘yum’, to ‘damn’ very quickly. You don’t know what you got, ’til he makes you a Yorkshire pudding.

I had to step out to the local super market to pick up some things. When I got back, checked the mail, and I got the rejection for my concealed carry application from Florida. The MP’s at the Air Force base where I did my fingerprints didn’t follow the instructions and left out a couple details. I should have noticed that. Bleahhh…
Of course. Sorry, man.
Yeah, they told me what to do to get it corrected – but with the world shut down for the foreseeable future I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to do it.
Your papers are not in ordnung.
So I worked last night at double-time and a half. Easy! Barely an inconvenience! Cleaning up after one shift is basically nothing so Yay, me? Wifey has been going nutso with the Yellow Peril and now wants to reinstitute the gardens again. It’s not a huge area (maybe 50×20) but I just pulled all the fencing and posts not three years ago. It was my hope that we’d till, level and plant lawn. Somebody is bored…
The ash tree that I planted in 1999 is dying and needs cutting down. That’s where all the feeders live. It’s about 35′ tall now but growing no taller. When I planted him he was shorter than me. Bitchy neighbor is going to complain about the retaining wall again this year. My truck needs a brake job and a tune up, kittehs are getting long in the tooth and everything is coming up Festus. I’m not dead of the plague, yet. So that’s something.
I’m not really sure I have any advice.
I sold my chainsaw years ago to a kid that needed it. Have to see if I can rent one. Can’t borrow because I am a Glib and don’t have IRL friends.
be careful. I ‘borrowed’ one from my neighbor (he insisted) and the chain was looser than a tijuana whore after the donkey show.
No worries. I ran saws for 15 years. I’m rusty but competent. The only way that I’d get hurt is by being stupid. Hey, wait!
Number one cause of injuries for sure.

The tulip tree in our front yard, which was full-grown when we bought the place 15 years ago, is dying and will have to come down soon. I’ll miss it terribly – I love its blooms. : (
I think it was Suthenboy who told me tulip trees grow quickly, so I hope we can plant another elsewhere in the yard…as soon as “non-essential” purchases are no longer verboten. ::grumbles::
I have 2 tulip trees I got for free from a mail order place. maybe check that out. wouldn’t want to plant in summer.
Thanks. When is the best planting time?
Early Spring according to wikidumbia.
^this.
Now is the right time, if you’re relatively northerly. Michigan?
Only a few states have said growing food is nonessential.
Nice blooms! I might get a little misty when the Ash comes down. The hazel-nuts are thriving. I really meant for that tree to be there long after I’m gone. Sucks. I’d like a to plant a silver birch in his stead but that’s right where the water and gas lines are and I’ve heard bad stories about roots.
Your lines or someone else’s? 😉
Also, whats wrong with the retaining wall?
Our lines and neighbor is being a cunte about the wall ever since her hubby ( my occasional Drinkin’ Buddy) passed away some time ago. Someone used railway ties about 45 years ago that are failing. I replaced about half of it five years ago but now she’s bitching again. I never built that.
45 years isn’t too bad. Why does she care? How tall is it?
Roughly 5′. I was hoping to tear the wall out and just let it slope. I could use the fill on the East side of the property. Fucking bored women. Have you ever moved water-logged railway timbers?
So, I won the Gunbroker auction for a 10mm. ?
Good morning.
Were there other bidders?
Yes. It ran up to the max I was willing to go to.
Hope it came with some tasty steaks!
So, what was the brand/model?
hi-point. 😛
Sig 1911. The selling FFL is local to me and knows me. I hope to have it today or tomorrow.
Saving on shipping is nice too.
Ha! Sounds like a great piece! 1911’s are great and the 10mm is an underappreciated round.
Ya dun gud!
Oh, and you can’t beat a Sig. Great guns all around.
Today is my day off, as usual it is raining, but its actually rather clement, about 60 degrees out.
