Good to know. I haven't looked into it in years. I know that used to be the "hard" part for making a rifle from scratch and if you watch some videos some of the gun makers are using machines that are multiple decades old to do rifling. It was much easier to buy a rifled blank barrel and chamber...

I never use reddit outside of something game related. I clicked. First topic was "A major turn off". Maybe.

Building two in Louisiana near a nuclear plant. I figured they would at some point. On the MS river and within 100 miles of 3 nuclear plants. Too bad come summer time when it's 100 degrees for a while some poeple will be without power, so let's add a lot more demand. They haven't added any power...

Good news, winter is over. It was 65 today and forecast for 75 in a few days. I will believe it when I see it. I have an outdooor event to go attend at the end of the month at night. Probably be 20 and light rain.

I'm old. The internet I grew up on was we got an IBM PC the 2nd year they were out. Arounf '82 or so. The first online thing I could use was compuserve to look up stock quotes semi live and you paid by the hour. The faster your connection speed the more you paid. I used a 110 baud converted...

I don't have kids, and don't really know what Roblox is. But how can anyone not heard about how bad it is with adults chasing kids on there? Seems like it comes up pretty often for some time here and elsewhere. Or like you said they trust their kid.

There's a shitload of workers in the US that below the 1% threshold in skills. I've never worked anywhere as an adultl that anyone made minimum wage. Lots of people now think fast food should a life long career, and not only a career that pays well enough to afford a house. Maybe work on...

Here's a novel concept. If you think your job or employeer sucks quit and get a new one. Kind of like minimum wage, your employer would pay you less if they could because your skill set sucks. Nobody is guaranteed a job, especially the job they want and like. Related to people that take out more...

Gold and silver up in the futures, gold only a little. Still extremely early was just interested if there was going to be any recovery at all in the near future.

Only one of the shops in my industry are unionized and they get tons of oversite from OSHA and others. The one that is unionized gets different benefits, not really more and not more pay for being unionized. When I worked in San Antonio they had a shop in northeast MS that could ship via the...

Some trade unions will help train and find a job if you lose yours. Like if you get laid off they might can find you one in another local whatever. Not that I am in any way a fan of unions. I think those types are a minority and most likely not people who work on video games. Nobody is going to...

They have umpteen actual parades. Each crew has one. The big ones are on or near Mardi Gras. The smaller ones for smaller towns that are family oriented are always earlier. We sure don't get Mardi Gras off here unlike Louisiana does. Not mine. My sister lives adjacent to Baton Rouge in a parish...

The Greg Biffle prelimary crash report came out. NASCAR driver with private jet that crashed killing all on board. It was an illegal flight. The person that identified as the pilot did not have a waiver to fly without a co pilot. One other pilots did not have a type rating for that aircraft or...

Same here Saturday. Woke up to the sound of the wind blowing. 35-40mph. The forecast was way off for the day but tonight it's dropping down about like predicted. Can't imagine going to hustle for beads with windchill in the single digits. Imagine reaching to pickup a bead or doubloon and...

Haven't been in almost 20 years. Not a lot, but the few times I went that song was pretty popular. No idea why, totally non minority place.

I read some time ago the woman on there that was the sister of Redd Foxxs wife. Esther (LaWanda Page) was a big comedian and at one time a fire dancer. Reading the story she was terrible at first but Redd Foxx wanted her. She couldn't do a script at all and needed to adlib so that's what she did.

They play that song a lot in strip clubs. No idea why.

Takes all kinds. Forecast tonight where my sister lives in LA is single digits windchill, so what are you going to do when it's below average cold? Have your mardi gras parade tonioght obviously. Family type parade she's on the crew of. I went to New Orleans Mardi Gras once in college and it was...

Kind of like fishing. By the time you hear it's a good time to go it means you should have been there yesterday.

Crazy part is silver had a 25% hit and is only back to where it was about 3 weeks ago. Lot of people didn't want to be left holding the bag at the top. Guess we'll see. Did learn that the Chinese market price of silver includes their tax/vat or whatever it is.

Friend from high school went into the navy. I didn't know whaty he did being enlisted. I know whern he got out he griped about how "touch" it was all the time. Finally his dad had enough and laid into him. His dad was a submariner during Vietnam and was drafted. My friend accorrding to his dad...

When CME first upped the margin reqeuirements some time ago a number of people were saying it was because "someone" such as a big bank were in too deep shorting and needed the help. I don't know but recently until today was still seeing people talking about digging up junk silver and sterling...

Metals and a lot of stuff down today. Silver down to $93, gold at $4,999.

CME raised silver margin requirements yesterday to 11% from 9%

Overclocking was a big deal way back. Had an AMD FX 55 or FX 57 clawhammer. Rocking that 90nm chip on a 939 socket lol. Looked it up, jeeze that was 20 years ago or so.

Warm for a few days and then it's back, weekend hovering near single digits with lots of rain on and off.

Should have had a contest on what the price of silver was going to top out at before crashing.

Yeah more refiners are only taking .999 and such not sterling or junk. Less work to come out with what they want in the end. I don't know how many refiners there are but a number of shop owners post online and videos that dealing with them is a pain in the ass. TIL >$100 silver is a cube...

My parents sold a house and the pre sale inspection the buyer paid for the inspector came out and leaned his ladder against the two story house nad looked up and said "nah, not today". He was mega fat. I've always wondered how many other sale inspectors and building inspectors are the same...

Down to single digits for a short while 100 miles north of New Orleans. Up to about 40 already by noon.

I think they draw out of a hat for the weather, multiple times a day. Earlier it was forecst 50 for a high. It barely broke freezing. Then later the foecast overnight was 25, now it says 10. The forecast for tomorrow high is 54 hich I'm guessing it will top out at around 30 or less now.

To the moon. Hisorically gold hasd been 20x silver. Gold hit >$5,000 ounce earlier. Silver around $105/ounce.

I'm a bright side kind of a person, well not really. Looking at the extended forecast the 8th high is forecast to be 74 lol. Just yesterday it was s upposed to be a week or more of never reaching above freezing which we normally get that high in a week, now it's all highs for a week of 50+...

The weather forecast keeps etting revised up and up. Tomrrow 50 and Tuesday 54 whhere just yesterday it was a high of <20. I guess mission accoplished, panic instigated.

Thank God the weather is on the ball. Low of 19 forecast and it said "dress warmly", nah I was thinking of going out and skinny dipping.

If you live in an area with lots of trees like I do (landlocked in the national forest) when an ice storm hits you really can't sleep at night due the crashing sound of limbs falling through the trees and then hitting the ground. It's quite loud when it is semi quiet. Pine trees are self...

Cooled off. Wind blew with gust of about 40mph for a while then the temp dropped from 70 to 35 in about half an hour. Had a tornado warning. Now it's right at freezing.

Here in southwest MS 3" of rain in the last 6 hours. Still mid 40's. Edit - 2am and it stopped raining, NOAA says it's 67 here. I thought no fucking way. Got up and went and looked at the outdoor thermometer. Yup 67. Went outside to be sure I wasn't dreaming. The forecast for 6am is 40, 32 at...

Already answered. Three brothers. Billionaire family. They filed for bankruptcy but they eventually made "some" of it back.

As my girlfriend pointed out today on my birthday. 20,083 days.
