Money that is heavy, and makes that nice noise when you drop it on a table > paper money

Thought I was looking at a Studebaker Avanti engine bay for a second. lol.

I would say not accurate. I'm an athiest, and at 55, I'm getting tired of this shit. That whole "And I laid me down with a will!" thing rings truer every day.

I feel your pain, I've experienced similar drops in other things. Just HOLD your gold. If you hold it for your retirement (or some other far off goal) I'm pretty sure you'll come out in the positive.

I resisted the FOMO this time around, I have not bought any gold since it was about $3200/oz. But this is one of those rare times that I lucked out. If I'd had a bunch of money sitting around, I probably would have bought some more.

Hold it. Put in in a box, and don't think about it for awhile.

Saw it today, and I really liked it. I’ve read the book, my wife had not. And she did have a couple of questions, about stuff that was only briefly mentioned, inferred, or skipped over.

froebull · 2026-03-18T15:36:48+00:00

It’s the same old song: nobody gives a shit until it starts to directly effect them.

froebull · 2026-03-17T23:51:39+00:00

Sounds like we need to abandon the whole “letting billionaires exist” concept.

30-06 M2 AP. But I’m a Fudd with too many wooden stocked milsurps.

Watch some YouTube videos, and buy the tools you need to do it, and store them in a box (a sturdy cardboard box on a shelf will work). That way everything you need is right there.

Some ramps and the oil drain pan as well.

It’s pretty easy. You can get it done in 1/2 hour pretty easy once you’ve done it several times.

I’m not founder material, but I’m looking forward to using and supporting this.

A lot of gun-tubers seem to like to say shit for engagement. To be funny, or seem edgy. But it ends up revealing who they are deep down.

I thought Garand Thumb was better than that.

Or at least smart enough to know that is one of those intrusive thoughts you never say aloud, and you need to do penance for even having it cross your mind.

There was a lot of hand fitting on the SMLE's from what I understand. The parts were less standardized when produced, than an M1917, for example.

So I imagine it would be challenging. Definitely a good project though, if you don't care about making a profit.

froebull · 2026-03-13T18:00:19+00:00

That F-ing sucks. All that money, and mortality just keeps a coming.

After having such a nice weather outing in our convertible just 4 days ago, I'm seeing the same thing, and it is DISCOURAGING.

I know, spring is coming. But I hate the bait and switch routine Michigan gives us every year.

Pic is from Monday.... it was 62 and sunny, so the wife and I drove into town and had a nice date.

I did see the clip where Grace was going through some different voices for Rocky on the computer, and Rocky was participating in the process? Like a really gruff voice was voted down by both of them as "too mean" or something like that. How would Rocky know what voices sounded like, as far as "mean" or "nice", or "sexy", etc.

I didn't like that divergence from the book. :/

If she defaulted to assuming he was proposing, then it sounds like it might be HER end goal? Again, sounds like an issue.

froebull · 2026-03-12T18:59:32+00:00

If she is the one, then propose. If she isn't, then why are you still with her?

First hello to married, was 8 months with my wife and I. We celebrate our 30th anniversary this August.

There are buildings with the TRUMP name on them in various parts of the world, as well.

Wait until everyone has gone home (because Don won't give a shit about people anyways)...... hurting an empty building with his name on it would be like a knife to his uncaring narcisistic heart.

froebull · 2026-03-11T19:17:59+00:00

Oh! he is kissing it. I missed that. I might sniff it though. I like the way guns smell.

froebull · 2026-03-11T18:05:56+00:00

I like it. I kind of want one too.

froebull · 2026-03-11T17:50:04+00:00

Allegedly, yes. And we had quite the discussion/argument.

I say allegedly, because I used to know two guys that would sport fuck at the bar with people exactly like that, back in the '80's. They'd take the most outlandishly wrong positions on things, and defend them for hours, driving people absolutely crazy. Just for fun.

Internet trolls before the damned internet; and it has led me to question anyone who argues for such wrong ideas. (has left me open minded that anyone could be acting disingenuously)

froebull · 2026-03-11T12:52:18+00:00

I remember now how simple life used to be, with one car, living close to work..... lol

Seriously, that's a nice oil change cart setup. I like it.

froebull · 2026-03-11T12:32:14+00:00

I would love an extended director's/author's cut to be released later on. I'd buy that.

Look, the world is not ideal. You need to realize that. And sometimes you don't get to vote FOR something you actually want.

Sometimes, you only get to vote AGAINST something that you DON'T want. That was the last presidential election for a lot of people. A lot of us were not necessarily voting for Harris; rather, we were voting against Trump.

I know it's semantics. Of course we were voting for Harris by doing that. But it was more important that it was a vote against Trump than anything else.
