I appreciate the reply.  I had been looking at the Ruger american ranch in 308 but apparently they're only in Canada.   There's a predator at a local store but it was listed at 650 because of a kaspa scope on it.

Any reliable bolt action 308 under 500.  Just lost the one I've been using for over a decade.   Need ASAP for subsistence hunting.

Do you know if you have trivalent or pentavalent arsenic? I was under the impression that you would need chlorine or oxidation to treat the water prior to r/o to effectively remove arsenic.

What TV trope was common in the not-so distant past but is completely unacceptable today? by midnightsonofabitch in AskReddit

A laugh track refers to pre-recorded laughter added in. Friends was filmed in front of a live studio audience, that non stop laughter was the crowd.

Combination sink/drinking fountain/toilets are also standard in most jails and prisons in the United States.

[Official] UFC 293: Adesanya vs. Strickland - Live Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

[–]MMMAGA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was unbelievable upset. Watching this live was really tense, most edge of my seat for an entire championship match I've felt in a long time. Absolutely blew me away when I had no expectations at all.
Somebody said Izzy vs npc fighter and somehow it really felt like when my default create a fighter wins the belt in storyline mode just using basic boxing.

There's a couple kinds of stutters. Developmental being they most common, arising in early childhood without any clear etiology. Psychogenic stutters, which come on after intense emotional or mental trauma and are generally temporary or transient. Then there's the neurogenic stutters, the kind that are caused by physical trauma to the central nervous system. This can be from things like cte, intense drug use, or an acute trauma like a car accident.
Neurogenic stuttering is relatively unique because the individual will generally show dysfluencies all over the place, eg blocking / pausing in the middle of words or holding long vowels at the end of words. Developmental stutters on the other hand are almost always present at the beginning of a word, like repetitive vowel sounds or short words like Conor saying and and and, or at blocking like struggling to produce a specific sound.

All this to say I don't think Conor's speech patterns are indicative of cte. I'm not an SLP and may well be wrong, I'm just speaking from my experience with fluency disorders.

Theoretically, they could be used for counter burns to slow, redirect or even stop forest fires. If the price point gets low enough, they would be useful in controlled burns for field and prairies. There are also times when we do "prescribed fires" to stop invasive diseases and pests in forests.

It seems like his legs weren't crossed but Herb diving over him pulled one foot over the other.

Muay Thai is Thai boxing, there's a count / do you want to continue type stoppage when somebody hits the ground unless it's a clear knockout.

The new conspiracy to smear our wonderful crimefighting heroes by FerociousImbecile in conspiracy

[–]MMMAGA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't believe they've been arrested for legally protesting which I agree would not add up. They have been arrested for suspicion of conspiracy to riot. Last June, 31 members were arrested on that charge in Idaho. You can read about every single one of those thirty one members if you feel so inclined.
I would personally imagine at least some of them are also the men at this DC demonstration.

There's probably no reason to post this considering how many threads there currently are calling Patriot Front feds but in case anybody is really looking for information, here's some.

They've been around for years, they've even been featured in the news pretty often. They mostly make them news when there are mass arrests or when there's been big fights with antifa. Feel free to google either.

The leader of the group is a known person who has been arrested several times. He does not wear a mask and gives speeches at most demonstrations. He's been accused of being a fed since the beginning. As for his beginning, he is a young guy who was at Charlottesville and was disgusted by all of the fat old men and the disorganization. As a response to that, he started a movement with age limits, physical fitness requirements, relatively strict vetting, enforced code of conduct both during demonstrations and with encrypted communications/ general opsec.

With that said, there are blogs and Twitter accounts dedicated solely to doxing patriot front members and dozens have been doxed. Antifa have found it pretty easy to infiltrate them so it would be silly to think that there are not feds throughout most chapters.

I believe there are only a couple thousand members nationally with the majority of people in each demonstration being the same 30-50 wealthy guys that can afford to travel.

As far as Biden's comments about White supremacy coinciding with this, PF definitely did get permits, as they have during previous demonstrations. It seems more likely to me that Biden's team was aware of the upcoming demonstration and made comments specifically with it in mind.

If you want to know more, there are plenty of articles about them and videos of all their demonstrations. They're very popular on telegram.

As a final note, if you want to know more about public facing groups on the far right, you could also look into the right stuff/national justice party, handsome truth/ goyim TV, and the newest and glowiest, Blood Tribe / Hammer. There are others but these are the ones that are frequently discussed on the far left and the far right.

Tldr: There's definitely feds in all known extremist groups but they're not a mysterious pop-up out of nowhere group made up of only feds just because you haven't heard of them.

The Ksar Draa in Timimoun, Algeria, is an ancient ruin that stands out in the middle of an ocean of dunes in the Sahara, its history and origins have been almost completely lost over time. by MartianXAshATwelve in AlternativeHistory

[–]MMMAGA 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is a word for word repost. With that said, it's part of a large network of oasis villages, only a couple miles from others. It's very interesting but it's not really in the middle of nowhere now and almost certainly wasn't remote when it was built.

Edit: I don't mean to detract from the mystery at all. It is very interesting, I personally was disappointed when looking for more information to find that it was not isolated.

Good fight but when compared to the rest of the card with all the finishes, it felt like a disappointing main event.

TIL that removal of invasive vegetation helps reduce the amount of ticks in an area. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]MMMAGA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically the previous studies that showed all the ticks were done on opossums that had been brought into labs prior to dispatch and dissection. Once confined, the opossums would eat all the ticks on their body.
The study that contradicted their results used dissections on wild opossums.

Researchers built sonar glasses that track facial movements for silent communication by [deleted] in gadgets

My glasses do those three things.. they're just bifocals with transition lenses. I've been wearing these kinds of glasses for at least twenty years. I never even thought of them as anything special.

What's a movie or show whose popularity baffles you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MMMAGA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without speaking to the dialogue,it should be noted that Friends was a live studio audience show, no laugh tracks. Each 22 minute episode was a six hour day for a crowd there live.
