I've owned an AR-15/M4 carbine for years now. It actually is an AWB model, so the stock doesn't move. It has a fixed carry handle and the shorter carbine hand-guard. This make it somewhat limiting when it comes to optics and other attachments. With the recent lawsuit settlement and the...
Berea KY is just south of the area. The Kentucky Artisian Center is north of town just off the interstate. Lots of locally made handcrafted items. Then you can head south into the town/college area. Handful of shops and eateries in the downtown Berea area.
If you have a day for a scenic...
Does anyone here know if any places sells pre-made firewood sheds? I could likely do it myself, but given other issues going on, I might rather just pay if the price seems reasonable. I've seen a lot of websites for the area folks who do mini-barns and such, but haven't ever really seen just...
I’ve recently started getting some spare parts for my AR-15 M4 style carbine fearing a coming ban on future sales. One thing I passed on ordering last weekend was a bolt carrier group. Tried to order this weekend but the same web stores are now out of stock except maybe some really costly...
Moving was always such a foreign concept to me. I'm fourth gen Indy area resident and only two people have moved from two different generations and never returned. A few in my generation moved, but they all came back. Indy being a growing area helps in terms of jobs and from what I've seen...
The market is up all over the country. I sometimes think if the wife and I should relocate. We both now dislike cold weather, but we do like cooler winters and changing seasons. I've been a big fan of the mountains and she is a fan of the beach. All the places under consideration have been...
Higher Ed overall has jumped the shark. Too costly, too focused on sports and not academics, and many see it as a youth right-of-passage with the partying and socialization over the intended goal of obtaining a focused education in something. Many of the smaller institutions are going to go...
With the explosion of cases in certain states, I decided to cut my losses and get out of the market. The only stock I had left was Six Flags (SIX). I was -$1,100 for the year, and after buying back a Dec 2020 option and selling the 100 shares I had, I'm now -$1,000 for the year. I figured it...
If interested in some other LE related stocks, look at Wrap Technologies (WRTC). They are the company making a device called the BolaWrap which shoots out a line and hopefully wraps around a person's arms and/or legs and prevents movement. These are the kind of devices the "defund the police"...
First went out to the area in 2007 (Yellowstone, Devil's Tower area) and got to return in 2018 (Yellowstone and surrounding areas). Our 2018 trip was in August and that year there were a lot of fires around YNP but I don't think any in the park. Just be aware that this could be an issue. I...
Glad to see someone did well. I purchased too quick, but thankfully the options on the cruise lines, amusement park stocks, and some others got me to break even. I think I was in with 200 shares of CCL at around $17/share. You should consider selling some call options to basically make your...
Lots of factors at play.
Lots of money being passed down from older folks who had it good back in the day. I know of an older person who passed away recently. UAW 30 years, just worked the line. Minimal OT. No kids or wife when he passed. Lots of good stock picks, good pension + social...
Employing more people, but everyone taking a lower wage, doesn't automatically make things positive for all. The only way this works is if the costs of living, for everyone, goes down. That isn't how things operate though. Housing values would have to crash, new home construction would crash...
This is what is so sickening about this whole thing. Really, she made $43.8M in two years, yet folks complain about the line worker making $30K in over-time. Even if she paid $30M in taxes, in two years she has $13.8M left off. If her house is $1M, she now has a paid off home and $12.8M in...
And there are a lot of CEOs, CFOs, etc. who don't need to make seven figures a year. Even in the most costly of cities here in the US, seven figures is still rich. However, that class of people believe they are entilted to that amount of money because they need a vacation to Bora-Bora every...
I never understand why so many people want to throw the baseline workers under the bus, while the big wigs get to rake in millions year after year. I mean seriously, the top five people alone made almost $20,000,000 in pay alone. Who knows what kind of monetary and stock option bonuses they...
I disagree. In my gun owning life I've had both an HK-91 clone and a Remington 700 bolt action rifle. Both rifles were chambered in .308. The HK-91 had magazines that held 20 rounds, at least the ones I had. The Remington 700 had a "fixed magazine" that held maybe five or so rounds. With...
The thing is, we can’t act ignorant of the physics when it comes to active shooter situations. When LE started obtaining patrol rifles after more and more shooters were using semi-auto, magazine feed rifles, LE didn’t just go with five shot capacity bolt-action rifles. They had to go with...
Does the surface of the pan has a "mirror smooth finish?" If not, that is likely the problem. The issue I had with cast iron is that I was never cooking anything with a lot of oil, so my pan never got used for something like fried chicken. There are a handful of start-up companies that have...
