Spoiler: it's a bullpup shotgun review/test with no load data or terminal performance against UAVs.

I'd start with 1.5 oz of lead #2-BB @ 1300fps. That should be effective out to 50yds depending on the barrel.  Patterning it could be brutal.

It was a durability test.  Nothing more, nor advertised as such.

Google pulled this Trump ad for "policy violations".

Being conservative violates Google policy.

The NY Times has a big article today that blames ALL of the violence at UCLA on the counter protestors.

I think of the NYTs as a Babylon Bee without the humor.

Huh. Never heard of Generation Jones before,

I'd never heard of it either until recently, but it kinda makes sense for "tail end" boomers, because that Boomer cadre is a pretty big chunk of years.

Mark Hamill has definitely lost his marbles, if he ever had any.

Huh. Never heard of Generation Jones before, but looks like... I'm Generation Jones. Also Gen X.

But I never liked the Banana Splits. Or HR Puffinstuff.

Looking back at HR Puffinstuff and some of their other stuff I wonder if the Krofft brothers were doing LSD at the time and what was in my cereal while watching it.

The Roundtable / Lost on the Appalachian Trail
« Last post by Ben on May 04, 2024, 11:03:22 AM »
I ran into this tragic story from 2013. An elderly woman was hiking the Appalachian Trail and got lost while going off trail for a bathroom break. She remained lost for a month before dying of exposure (based on the journal they found).

This is one of those instances where she did the recommended thing by staying in one place, but would have been better off moving. Apparently Search and Rescue came within 100 yards of her tent, with dogs even, and missed her.
