  1. If you're a Federal AE 9mm fan, SG has the best price on a delivered case at the moment. 0.279/round.

    Ammo Arrivals & Deals @ SGAmmo - American Eagle 9mm and Gold Medal 308 Just In | SGAmmo.com

    Back in stock for the first time since November 2022! This ammo has been a very popular product at my store for over a decade, however it simply was not priced right this past year as the factory held tight on pricing for this item. My cost had been around $293 per 1000 and I simply would not pay that given the cost of equivalent products. They finally made a deal a few weeks ago that brings the price down to a more reasonable point and we brought this back in to the mix of 9mm options we offer. While I'd like to see this be $20 less than it is, the deal is unlikely to get any better.

    But this Warren county story is crazy!  Never let an "acquaintance” in your home!  

    A few weeks ago long time friends of ours who live in Knowlton had someone pull into the head of their driveway and just sit there with their high beams on pointing at our friends' house. They called the police after a few minutes. The cops came and the upshot was it was just a young girl (new driver) who got lost and was trying to figure out what to do next.

    But then you read a story like this and wonder.

    The minis would be interesting if they feed reliably in a pump or if a shotgun were designed around them. 

    There are multiple videos on YT of mini-shells failing to cycle and/or feed properly in semi-autos.

    I do not know how mini shells are treated under the law.  Perhaps someone else can weigh in on that.

    I don't think it will be an issue. My understanding is mini-shells don't work well (if at all) in semi-autos, so it's a moot point.


  5. Here's a more in depth review. Perhaps the whole state would like to say 'Aloha'!

    Hawaii and the spirit of Aloha - American Thinker

    "Article I, section 17 of the Hawaii Constitution mirrors the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution," the Hawaii Supreme Court decision states. "We read those words differently than the current United States Supreme Court. We hold that in Hawaii there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public."

    I think most of the border traffic is not Mexican, but coming from South and Central America, China, etc.

    Tbh, I think those resentful people are not native to that area.

    Both probably true. I remember in the 00's we visited CT for several summers in a row. Most of the wait staff was from Ireland or Poland. Imported for the season.

    Since they all were white, we had to be especially cautious.

    Interesting, we were in Cancun recently and I noticed a change in attitude, like people are resentful.  A small minority-most people were friendly and service oriented as usual-but enough to notice a difference.  We've been going there almost every year since the 90s. I thought we'd eventually stop going due to increasing cartel action (like Acapulco), but Cancun is not that bad yet. Maybe this will keep us from going back soon.

    Well, their friends and relatives are all heading north to collect the freebees from the Biden Piñata. So they're the suckers left to work for a living. That might give them a different perspective.

    To be safe, I would take a backup of all your partitions just in case anything goes wrong with modifying the partition table.

    I triple-thumbs-up that. In fact, if there's anything really important on that machine do double full backups to separate media. USB portable or thumb drives are cheap.

    Ever had a power failure while executing major disk rearrangement? Hahahahahaha!


  9. Friends of ours (husband and wife) recently took a cruise there. I'll have to ask them what if anything they heard about travel warnings. Not sure if they were on Carnival.

    Kentucky moms Amber Shearer, Dongayla Dobson say they were drugged, raped by resort staffers in Bahamas amid travel warning (nypost.com)

  10. I have run Linux, but not enough to speak competently on this. I searched for "how to resize linux boot partition" and among another hundred links came up with this:

    12.10 - How do I resize my /boot partition? - Ask Ubuntu

    In Windows partitions must be contiguous. And expansion (or contraction) is usually done from the 'back' of the partition, not the front. At least with the usual system utilities. So free space must be available for that.

    I saw the article suggested removing old kernels from /boot, if there are any. That would free up some space for updates.
