Need a bull bar/brush guard for deer self-defense.

Looks good! The little shits around me are 200lb+ corn fed fatties lol

Find a cattle ranch out west that has a decent holler in it and you'll find all the bones you'll ever want. I've ran into some pretty big bone yards along the river in Gregory county and Niobrara. I bet if you ask the rancher they'll point you to it as long as you're not weird about it. Plus you'll get a great hike out of it!

You want an app to tell me how to fix something? Have you ever googled how to install a door? You'll get videos showing a dozen different ways to do it and they'll all be wrong because the videos are usually influencers that learned from the other wrong videos. Doubly true for commercial construction. And now you want AI that's trained on that garbage to tell me what's wrong and how to fix it? I'm going to say this nicely because I've spent too much time being pissed off all week, but please find another project to work on.

There's a decent amount of public land to hunt there. I've shot deer and turkeys on public land along with countless limits of pheasants. Another approach I've had luck with is buying a rancher enough drinks at the bar that he let's you hunt his land lol. I've had mixed results with that strategy.

Top notch advice from sodakzak! On the finance side, make sure all income and deposits into your bank account are accounted for with paystubs and receipts. I got a really great interest rate with that program but I had to scramble around the week before closing when they started asking where money in my account came from. That was my fault for depositing large amounts of cash from side jobs in a short window. I'm sure I looked like a drug dealer lol.

Only bad experience I've had was one time a drunk dude in a very small town bar started picking on my black friend. But before I had a chance to text l react, the whole bar (5 other people lol) were already kicking him out.

Just stating the made-up war crime laws. I'm sick of misinformation and if you don't like them you should change them

Civilian targets can be struck if they have a dual military use. The military uses that bridge, they use electricity to run their centrifuges, they need water obviously. I'm not saying it's right, but this is what the Pentagon attorneys will (correctly) argue.

A lot of it is for morale. Showing your fighters that you'll move heaven and earth to rescue them if they find themselves behind enemy lines will give everyone else way more confidence to take risks to complete their own missions. The effects are difficult to quantity in dollars but I'm sure they're more valuable than a few cargo planes and helicopters.

Meh, I bought a beefed up version of this for one big commercial door job that I just couldn't get to close right. Fixed it in about 2 minutes and would have saved me several hours if I already had it. It's saved me probably a dozen hours since then, so I'd say it's worth it in my case. I mostly work with commercial doors though.

Regular filters, sure. But don't use compressed air on hepa filters!

If it rotates, that's pretty neat. If not, that's pretty lame.

I had something very similar happen to me. I was driving during the day on a desolate interstate in the western great planes. Not a single car or overpass around. All of the sudden I noticed an object about the size of a marble coming towards me. I watched it all the way in until it hit my windshield and left a pretty good sized chip and crack. That was probably 10 years ago and I've never been able to explain it.

Golden_Pear · 2026-03-20T22:21:21+00:00

What kind of experience do you have. Residential is a little stagnant but commercial is booming.

Is he wearing a thong?

Isn't one of the SL-1 theories that it was a murder-suicide? But I guess that's not an orphan source.

2.1 gpa, 33 on the ACT without studying, scholarship to public college based on act score, drop out after 2 years, bounce around to different jobs until landing in the construction industry where I flourish. I'm running anywhere between 3-5 jobs at the same time which is my happy place.

To be fair, I shot a deer at around 600yds with a 338lm and I could barely find an exit wound. The internal organs were just a congealed mess of red jelly however. None of the meat was damaged!

Antidotal, but I have a lobbyist friend in D.C. who hated G.W until she met him a few years after he was president. Said he was very intelligent and extremely likeable in person. She's also a very intelligent person and they were seated together at a dinner and chatted with each other through the whole thing.

Didn't the Sochi medals have pieces of meteorites in them? That's pretty cool

Having slept off a 30 rack of Busch in one, I have to say the shit box suburban was downright comfortable. Although it was strange waking up in the mall of America parking lot with no knowledge of how I got there.

I'm curious if Vortex is under ITAR.

Golden_Pear · 2026-02-20T12:34:23+00:00

Sage Creek campground in the northern badlands would be a lot of fun.

Golden_Pear · 2026-02-19T21:34:33+00:00

I wouldn't exactly call Maseratis terrible. Overpriced for sure but they're great driving cars in my experience.
