      Air Fryer Recommendations

      I have the Power XL, both the air fryer and the misnamed toaster over (rack style?). The toaster over sucks as an air fryer, the bottom coils get dripped on when cooking chicken wings and smokes out the house. The top coil of basket styles doesn't have this problem. The other is good, also had...

      Greenwood mall shooting

      After seeing a couple responses, I need to clarify: rifle is in shooting position, guy is clearly a threat, but the blind unobservant masses either didn't notice or thought they saw the rifle come up after you fired, because that is how people perceive stuff. Similar to if a cars tires are...

      Greenwood mall shooting

      I'd like to throw in one very possible situation. Guy comes out of bathroom with AR-15 style rifle. You shoot and kill. Witnesses are now saying they never saw guy raise rifle or that he was only raising his rifle to defend himself against you firing at him. Eye witnesses are a funny thing, guy...

      Walmart.com cancelling orders

      I've had my tire orders cancelled for suspected fraud. After several attempts and attempted talking to a walmart.com rep, I went to the store. There I was told they couldn't order tires from walmart.com, but had to use a different site, so the tires I wanted weren't available and everything was...

      Gun cleaning frequency

      I'll fieldstrip, not really that much work and not going to wear anything out on the weapons I own.

      Gun cleaning frequency

      Powder combustion, no matter how clean burning, produces corrosive products that I would rather not let sit inside a barrel of any type of firearm. I'll clean even after firing only one shot.

      Student loan 'Forgiveness",Too little to help anyone, just enough to make everyone angry

      I remember they started this loan forgiveness stuff back when I graduated with my degree. It was if you work the right kind of job, after 10 years of payments, we'll forgive your loan. I didn't have a great paying job at the time so I called and had a graduated payment plan set up to repay...

      Hikers

      I add a 3rd vote for sawyer filter, with that CNOC bag you can scoop water out of some shallow puddles. The bags that come with the sawyer have too small of an opening to be effective in anything shallow which is almost everywhere around here until most sources dry up. AHT is awesome AT...

      Hikers

      Yeah, I have a couple old three day packs with spots for either a laptop or water bladder. That's where I put my plate. I used to use water for weight but it shifted around too much. GoRuck stuff is too expensive. I purchased my plates from Amazon, "Yes4All". Almost any pack works as long as its...

      Hikers

      38:23/mile average over 17 hours (9hr 46min moving time) with a 44 pound pack and 4,816 ft of elevation gain. That average includes stopping for meals and sleeping. Fastest time pace was mile 27 at 19:55/mile. I use a Garmin, likely tracking my stops for gathering water and lunch.

      private pilot training - recommendation?

      I started flying with FSX when I was taking lessons (flew MSFS 4.0 back in the day and what ever version their century of flight was). It had the exact aircraft I was flying with same radio stack, so it really took my chair flying to the next level. I have always heard that X-Plane is better...

      private pilot training - recommendation?

      I wanted to split into to two post covering separate issues/topics. First thing I would do is find airports, drive there and visit the FBOs. Skyvector is a good map tool that will show airports you may not know are there. What I ran into is there are a lot of instruction opportunities that are...

      private pilot training - recommendation?

      I really believe that 70 to 80 hours is either a myth or something flight schools tell you to prep you for milking you for some unnecessary time. My own research shows 58 hours average is more accurate with almost 30% of people able to complete training in under 45 hours. I had 50.8, but the...

      Need Help / 308 Optic out to 1000yds

      NightForce (NXS or ATARC) Not familiar with the NX8, but I bet its pretty good Sig (Tango 4) Vortex (make sure to get higher end, not their cheap ones) I would use any of those, but for strength I prefer that NXS.

      Rittenhouse pleads 'Not Guilty'

      If I were him, G19. Relatively lightweight and cheap. Ammo available almost anywhere, nothing really sticking out to make IWB carry painful, simple, almost always works, not too large, not too small, not going to be worried about it being ruined by sweat, and he doesn't have to worry about...

      Shooting at Arlington, Texas, high school; multiple people shot

      Even if it was "self defense" (and pretty sure it wasn't) you would still be held responsible for the three innocents that you shot in the process of defending yourself.

      Scope Parallax setting is inaccurate

      Focus should be handles by adjustable eye piece, set this up first. 1. Point at white wall look through scope, close eyes quickly open eye and determine if reticle is blurry. 2. Close eyes and adjust eye piece, open and see if better or worse than previously. 3. Make appropriate adjustments...

      To mask or not to mask....That is the question. Part II

      Antibody-dependent Enhancement, (ADE) occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a “Trojan horse,” allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune...

      INGO Pilots: Which Headset?

      I went with the Pilot USA Child Size passive head sets. My daughter was able to get pink and my son loved the red and blue one ( I was a little worried he wouldn't like have one side a different color than the other). I have their adult set with leather muffs that feel great. They have gel, but...

      To mask or not to mask....That is the question. Part II

      Over. They have said it from the beginning, "We need to get used to the new normal." New normal means that the old normal isn't normal any longer.
