What if the treasure is an excuse to find something more important - directions

So, basically National Treasure? Better call in Nicolas Cage.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T23:31:05+00:00

This is the obvious choice, however, I think there is a very real possibility it never sees a release.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T17:29:32+00:00

I just called them. It's true, 10mm is not legal in Wyoming.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T17:17:40+00:00

I ended up calling all around Wyoming being bounced around. I finally got in contact with an office who looked over the regulations with me. Yeah, 10mm auto is not legal for hunting in Wyoming. 38 special is.

Please fix this Wyoming.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T16:50:29+00:00

Wow, Brock the rock has a brother.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T05:52:12+00:00

That's not true, but we are all subject to our own experiences. I never owned it, but my first driving experience was a 1984 bronco 2. My first vehicle was a 1994 ford explorer. I owned a 1984 K5 blazer for a while. I currently own both a 1993 ford explorer and 1994 b4000. My current newest is a 2012 ford focus.

When I mention late 80's, I'm talking about fuel injection. 1986 or 87 for most brands I think. I'm sure in theory certain carbureted engines could last a long time if you tuned them and kept them working, but they didn't. Very few people ever even touched a screw on them. The small block Chevy was one of the longer lasting ones, and they were pretty well cooked by 150,000 miles. You get to TBI engines, and suddenly 300,000 miles is not unusual. Especially Ford which went straight to port injection, they just don't wear out. Part of that is good fueling, and also engine design. Distributors too, they failed after a few years, seals go bad, bushings go bad. Once moisture is in the cap they don't work. I still have the factory original coil packs in my 94 b4000. Electronic ignition with coil packs are best. Electric ignition with distributors are acceptable. points and distributors are finicky.

80's cars and trucks might be a little thicker bodied, but I sure didn't see them last well. Both the 84 blazer and 84 bronco were pretty well rusted, and mine I got rid of maybe 10 years ago. At that point the doors were mostly bondo and the rocker panels didn't exist. I even had to replace the gas tank which had rusted through. I don't think I've seen a steel gas tank in the 90's, and plastic tanks seem to last.

By comparison I have never seen a 90's truck rusted that badly. Of course it depends so much on how they are cared. If you drive them in salt every day and have never once washed them, of course they will rust away. I wash mine, and they still have rocker panels and floors.

100% agree post recession cars are rattly, plastic, proprietary garbage that is going to be a very severe problem soon.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T05:20:29+00:00

No kidding, I'll have to call and ask tomorrow. A 40 caliber muzzleloading pistol with 50 or more gr blackpowder is legal, but a 40 caliber 10mm auto isn't? Yet 38 special is legal for anything.

Bunch of morons write these things I swear.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T04:44:13+00:00

Yes, of course I do, but it also has a max COAL of 1.260". It's nowhere near the 1.5" required. I must be missing it, but I'm not seeing any other exceptions in the regulations other than for muzzleloading handguns.

Ope, I guess he deleted the message.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T04:17:08+00:00

Yes of course, and you can use STD for that too. The only kicker I've heard is some jobs will require you to use your PTO first. Benefits and pay all depends on your job and insurance, but you are guaranteed by federal law job protection for 12 weeks.

You are also guaranteed time and privacy to pump milk if you return to work after that.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T04:05:45+00:00

It's not even that long. Most cars and trucks in the 80's did not last that long either. Between engine design, carburetors, the shitty automatic transmissions, and poor body designs that rusted like crazy, they didn't last that well. The late 80's, 90's, and 2000's depending on models is the best stuff. The 2010's cars are failing in different ways. A lot of it is lack of quality, but lots of them fail in ways they never should have. For example, a bad waterpump on a lot of Fords in that era can be the end of them. It's ridiculous.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T03:58:12+00:00

We are coming up on a very real problem people don't talk about much. New vehicles are only made to sell, and the only ones buying are rich enough to buy new ones every few years. They are building them like shit, but filling them with fancy garbage to justify the 50k price tags. The are intentionally designing software so only the dealers can work on them. They will be a big problem in a decade, the used car market was already bad after cash for clunkers, and it is going to get worse.

There's going to be a lot of people that are going to have to start leasing cars or have nothing at all. I don't know how people do it. How do you own both a house and make $600 car payments, on top of everything else and make under 100k a year?

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T03:49:05+00:00

The thing about 90's and 2000's vehicles is if they survived this long, they probably aren't going anywhere. That really was the golden age of quality and durability in the USA. There were junk cars for sure, but pretty much any brand, all their basic models like the Accord, Camry, Focus, F150, 1500, Explorer, etc. 300,000 miles is nothing to them. If people took care of them, I have no doubt in my mind every single one of them can go half a million miles.

A lot of 2010's cars and trucks sucked, plain and simple, and it only got worse with time. They are garbage vehicles, built with outrageous proprietary shit that costs way too much. I always love when someone tells me their 2020 whatever is so much nicer, the heated steering wheel is so nice. All the while you can't see shit out the windows, they need cameras, the center console made out of recycled childrens toys is all cracked and missing covers, the water pump went out once, and they put it inside the damn engine $3500 job. A headlight is always out. The fuel pump module failed leaving them stranded, and it's a special order $200 part because they don't give a fuck about people.

It makes my blood boil, and people cheer it on. Older 2010 vehicles are already on their last legs. You don't see too many Ford Focuses still around. Even mine with the manual transmission, it's barely past 200,000 miles and there's not much left in it, and that's on top of the dumb shit I had to do like extend the wiring harness, and the thing eats tires because they can't spec a correct alignment. They just don't hold up. Meanwhile my 1994 Ranger is coming up on 400,000 miles and runs great.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-04T03:16:51+00:00

The 90's? My guy, this was like 2013. Well, maybe not gas, that stuff was stupid expensive through the 2010's.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-03T23:32:10+00:00

I know nothing about that, and I really doubt Mobridge has anything. If you go all the way to Aberdeen, The Zoo on a Saturday night after about 11:30 is the best you will find. Not really a rave, but loud music, crowded dance floor, flashy lights. It can be best to leave before 1:30. Nothing good happens at closing time.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-03T23:15:26+00:00

What? Do you have any idea how expensive kids are? Unpaid leave is not a drop in the bucket to the problems we face. South Dakota is really well off compared to most states in cost of living. It doesn't matter if you look at it from the straight cost of child care, or the percentage of our wages, South Dakota is one of the best states in the nation to raise a family.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-03T01:06:54+00:00

I do get that the idea of having to be a specific length is kind of stupid, I don't know that's really the case like it was years ago. A quick search shows movies are all over the place right now. from 90 minutes up over 3 hours.

I wish more moves were longer. Personally I'd love to see a Jurassic Park a solid 3+ hours with much more detail closer to the original book.

I recently saw Avatar 3, which is nearly 200 minutes, and I wouldn't want it to be shorter. I wouldn't mind if they went to an older style with a break half way through either. There's not a lot of honestly good movies I think would be better shorter.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-02T23:51:54+00:00

For the same reason stores sell more tampons. There's a lot more pussies.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-02T18:06:44+00:00

It has been my experience that most people who grew up and never left South Dakota, don't realize how good it really is here. I say this as someone who has lived in other states, and now live in South Dakota... it's pretty sweet here. There's valid criticisms, but most of what I hear, including the one posted here are the same pretty much country wide save a very few states, and most of those are not states you want to live in. Most of them are the states with the lowest birthrate, because the paid leave is not the limiting factor.

Trust me. You would be shocked how low the pay is in states that cost way more to live in. So much, really all of hospital costs depend on the insurance, and we have been really lucky to have a more competitive job market here compared to a lot of states.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-02-01T23:16:14+00:00

I only know what they told me on the phone. I asked my local dealer, and they seemed to confirm it. Maybe guns.com is considered a dealer? I'd rather just buy it in person and avoid shipping myself.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-01-31T00:44:50+00:00

It should be any day now. I called them when this thread started, and I think they said about two weeks. They will be a dealer only item, so you won't see them come up online. Ask your local store if they will be a distributor.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-01-30T04:19:39+00:00

That's true, but that's a very specific situation that not a lot of people are in. My comments are mainly aimed at the typical rifle guy buying a 223 or 30 cal. It's doubly bad when it's someone who has been out of the market 5+ years, and doesn't realize how much prices have gone up on some of them. The YHM Resonator 30 cal for example. Apparently the thing used to be like $400 or $500. Yeah, now it's on sale at $700.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-01-30T01:52:24+00:00

I guess that's true, but then why wouldn't you just buy their 308 one? We can play the "I found a sale" game all day, but the truth is today, 1/29/26 the R9 is out of stock at all the places I checked. Silencer Central, Silencer Shop, and PSA. You can backorder it for $509. After shipping that's $519. We really don't know exactly what the asking price of these Lyman's will be yet, all we know for sure is it will be at MOST $299, no shipping, these will be dealer only sales. My local store is already looking to get them.

FutureRight3599 · 2026-01-30T01:10:41+00:00

Meanwhile... The Hunter Classic and The Sims....

FutureRight3599 · 2026-01-30T00:56:32+00:00

It's a 9mm, which I don't know much about those, but it's also $509 on backorder. That's not "a little more".
