I second this Plus Amazon, I end up finding lots of stuff cheap on Amazon. I think it's always best to browse http://www.techbargains.com/rss.xml and find best deals.

I'm shopping for a wood burning stove.

Does anybody sell them in different colors (i.e. magpul dark earth)? Everything I find online is black. Thanks

If it's not this weekend I can help There are too many and half of them suck. You may want to look into reviews - http://www.movingscam.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 I believe may previous companies used Mayflower and they were good.

I honestly forgot how much it was already. Around $150ish I think...

Anybody else waiting? Got an e-mail saying mine should probably be in next week, weather permitting. It's been 3+ months of waiting! Pic from their website:

Anybody know where to buy one cheapest? Vendors, sponsors, in-laws, I don't care I want this because it has protector caps for the lens (unlike eotech), uses regular battery which lasts more than the gun will I saw them online for ~$750 which is a bit too much. Some dude reviewing it on youtube said he found them for $650 but he got an even better deal :icon_exclaim:

this got me laughing hard, especially the last line "K, Mr. Redneck. Even if our computer rig contest is long over, you win. You got the biggest computer desktop of them all. And even if that weren't the case, that giant anti-aircraft gun says you win anyway." :icon_lol: p.s. i love those $700 Herman Miller chairs, wish I had one at home too

That's easy -> Asia. I would recommend reading this article. It sort of links into the whole unemployment thing... http://neithercorp.us/npress/2011/01/america-needs-community-not-collectivism/

IIRC annoys me too and I can never remember it even though I've been "online" since the early 90s. http://www.acronymfinder.com/ http://www.acronymfinder.com/IIRC.html I'm really annoyed by there/their and you're/your and I'm not an old guy. Irregardless makes me snicker. One of my former managers used it. But they tell me languages are "live" and they "evolve". Devolve if you ask me...

Freedom for some, slavery for others. Gotta love socialism.

You can stream "Firefly" series and "Serenity" movie on Netflix.

No, I think they refuse to utilize and obey the laws. If this is 2nd amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Where in this text does it say "within home" ? Can someone please point it to me? Maybe it was written with invisible ink.

The guy at MVC wasn't making a big deal out of it, in fact was pushing new plates on me because he was saying it's a cheaper option. The only reason why I kept mine was because I didn't want to remember the new ones and had them registered everywhere (from ezpass to parking etc).

Hmmm I sold one of my cars, let the registration expire and then registered a new car with the same plates about 2 years later and I don't remember paying anything extra. There was a catch though but it wasn't a fine. They know the month of the original expiration and the registration was valid from the month I went to MVC till expiration month of the same year. So the first car registration expired in December, I bought a new car in June, paid full amount and registration expired in December.

Finished stage 4 today and saved the trailer park. Yeehaw!

I guess it all depends on your lifestyle. I.e. I spend 8-10 hours at work every day and have dedicated work clothes that I almost never wear outside work. Even though it's a desk job my work clothes get ruined fairly quickly, usually between one and two years (depending on what material I wear). Colors fade, elbows wear out, shoes wear out, food stains etc. etc. etc. My leisure clothes on the other hand go for years especially since I normally wear different type of material which is more durable. At home I don't have a dress code either and I don't care what somebody things about me. If they think I'm a beggar, even better. Now if I was to wear a uniform at work, it would be significantly cheaper because I wouldn't have to wear the stuff I wear. And it's the same with kids. If you send your kids to school in the same stuff every day, then you surely are saving but I doubt you do that. Most, especially girls wear something different every day and when it's not fashionable anymore, they want to change it. No kid wants to feel an outsider and most of them want what their friends have. If they wore a uniform, you could then get away with buying as few as just two of them. At home my kids wear cheap Walmart and similar junk or stuff that was handed down to us by our friends (second hand stuff). First, I can't be constantly hoovering over them and warning them to watch their clothes and second, kids grow and buying expensive stuff isn't worth it. I'm sure uniforms in schools would definitely help me keep expenditure down.

I agree with you on the first and second part - it's not going to curb bullying and kids should roughen up but you actually spend less money on a uniform then you would on regular clothes. They had this exact same debate on NJ101.5 a few months ago and moms who called in generally welcomed uniforms because they didn't have to think anymore about what they're going to give their kids to wear and didn't have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes. The later was especially true for girls. I wouldn't mind if my kids wore uniforms. My son can't dress for sh**

I read a funny post on one economic forum some time ago. After 2006 many people were jobless and were selling out their guns for dirt cheap. This dude said someone was selling two Glocks for $500. He then goes to say he showed up at the sellers door with $350 and guess what? Someone then followed up and asked "He pointed both of them at you and thanked you for your donation?" It could indeed be deadly.

This whole debate is based on many assumptions and there's no solution. First, SHTF is difficult to define since every time it's a little different. Some people above say US is a global economy. True, if it goes down it will have a ripple effect, that's a fact. We can only approximate that to say Roman Empire which was pretty large too and when it went down it left Europe in dark ages. What I don't like about Maksim's way of thinking is that it's very digital. He rather have guns than gold because they're more useful. He argues that you can't eat gold. You can't eat guns either. It's a silly argument. I personally rather have *both* guns *and* gold. My line of thinking is to obtain some gold now when you have a job rather than in the future when you may not have one. You have to be prepared to lose though. You don't buy this stuff as investment where you're going to make money on. That's why I don't believe in holding a lot of it either, just a few oz to get you started if SHTF. If you can afford trading it for something, it's better than not having any and not being able to trade at all. When people are jobless or hungry, they don't care for ammo and they can't afford guns for the exact reason you mention - it becomes more expensive. So who are you going to trade it to and what for? It's better then to stash food and tools than guns because you can produce something with those and trade your skill for food. You could provide security services with your weapons but that means putting out your neck on the line for somebody else. Guns and ammo can be tricky too. In a state of emergency (martial law) that stuff could be taken away from you or made illegal and it has been world wide (including this country) time over time. What then? There are way too many "ifs". It could the "The Road" style SHTF, it could be a more peaceful one, who knows... I believe in not putting all eggs in one basket and having/making friends with people of similar vision. That way we can help each other out. From personal experience (Croatian-Serbian-Bosnian wars), if you have a wife and kids, teaming up is crucial. If you're single, you're good with just good clothes and shoes.

You're wrong on many counts. If TSHTF, gold can be (and is) used as a medium of exchange or as money. I.e. I give you an ounce of gold, you give me a nice gun. But more realistically you would exchange gold for food or clothes. Real world (and very recent) examples are Argentina, Zimbabwe and Indonesia. Plenty of youtube videos for folks that don't like to read. So when TSHTF gold has a value. Now I could agree that collector coins may not be any more valuable than say 20-karat jewlery but that's beside the point. I wouldn't suggest anybody buy gold as an investment. Gold should be looked at as insurance. You buy car insurance but hope you never get into a car accident. That's how I look at gold, you buy it but hope you never have to use it. You could also buy gold if you're not putting all of your money into it so you can hold it for as long as it takes. The nice thing about gold is that unless they make it illegal to own, it will always be worth something unlike paper which can cease to exist as it has happened over and over throughout history. For anybody who cannot afford to buy gold, I think food, clothes and of course buy guns are a better buy. Maksim, you should read about Argentina's.

Couldn't get level 4. Tried few different strategies and the big fat guys combined with witch bitches are just too powerful to hang on until I'm able to get a harvester.

I second Apmex although a local dealer (coin/currency shop) may have smaller fees. Apmex is good if you care about quantity or variety but it takes forever to come from Oklahoma That said, new 2011 Pandas are in. Love Aussy and Chinese coins, especially in odd sizes (like 2oz). Eagles and Maples are really boring coins.

No idea how good or bad this is but it's dirt cheap http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/green-tactical-laser-with-barrel-mount.aspx?a=762453&pn=1

If it was an F-650 I'd forgive you that ricer burner comment
