1LtCAP

document the hell out of it. record all convos with him.

she was a flying fortress that crashed at windsor locks ct last year. i think i'd done another thread on her, but it's late, and i'm too lazy to find it. anyway......watch this video. some of the things in here are utterly shocking. 'specially the "caging" or feathering of the prop without following the checklist procedures........ Accident Review B17 9oh9 Windsor Locks - YouTube

of course. i think this guy just breaks things down to bare bones plain language......

i admittedly do not have that self control with credit cards. but the point still stands about being too easy to run up a bill with them

I dug myself into a deep hole over 20 years ago this way. it's way way too easy to lose track of just how much money you're spending when you just hand over that piece of plastic. most things now....if i can't hand you cash, or a check that i know you're heading directly to the bank with.....then i can't have what you're selling me till i can do one of those 2 things.

I HATE the lease thing....'cept for those people who REALLY want a car like an owdi or mercedes. most people that own them can't truly afford them due to repairs....so i recommend leasing them. even then,, people should be making serious effort to go back to using cash as often as possible. when you use either credit or debit card, you're essentially asking permission to spend your own dam money.

short version of what i spent 3 paragraphs saying, lolol but it's not just "these days". it's been going on for at least 3 decades.

this is part of why i was asking here. i'd just picked up my g19(after a 6+ $#$% month wait) and someone else in the store had mentioned them. i asked the counter guy his opinion....and he seemed to love them.....but then again(and this is NOT meant to sound like i'm being a dick) his job is also to sell stuff. so i figured if i came here, i'd get good answers, good or bad. 'nother question. say for instance i bought that slide you linked from brownells? do they only fit one specific brand, or are these like the dots for rifles? where they all have a " standard" mounting?

i think i've mentioned this before....way back when i used to run a shop for someone else, the most common thing i saw was people opening their wallet with at LEAST 3 or 4 credit(poss. debit) cards. no cash. they'd hand me one, and if it declined, then they'd hand me another one. this was back in the late 90's. over the decades, most people have fallen prey to advertising. they buy shit they don't need, and more than likely really can't afford. they may have the income to support the purchase of a 150k house......but they still go out and buy a 250k+ house. then 'cause their neighbors are all driving lexus, mercedes, owdies, they feel they need to do the same. after all, can't be seen in the neighborhood in a lowly toyota, now can they? then they go buy their kids those 200 buck sneakers and100 buck jackets 'cause the rest of the kids in the school system have them. can't have their kids wearing plain old 40 buck sneakers, can they? then of course there's the cell phone bills( nowadays more a replacement for a landline, rather than an addidtion), 600-1000 buck cell phone/trackers, stupidly expensive cable tv services etc........of course they don't save money. me personally, although i have a mortgage on it, my home is a late 1800's/early 1900's built shithole built by drunken monkeys snorting crack with no clue how to use a level, square or tape measure. i could afford to buy newer/nicer, but why? i drive a 18 year old suv, and could probably buy a brand new one....but why?

ON THAT NOTE......do these have paralax(i think that's the right term?) issues if you're not dead on when looking through the window?

so now it seems i need to go looking for a good slide and dot setup for either my g21 or 19......

would def be a cheaper option for quick target acquisition.......

ok. can some of you with the knowledge educate me? do i really want a red dot on a pistol? are there any real advantages to them to make them worth the money? how easyt are they to set up? do we aim(see what i did there?) to have them co-witness with iron sights like on a rifle? also, probably in the wrong place....sorry

sooo? they're still trying to give credit to 44? there were some rumblings of it in jan. i ordered a pack of n95 masks and a full face mask with extra filters. my shop supplier thought i was nutty. middle of the summer, he recalled that, and mentioned that apparently i was slightly ahead of the game

yep. he caught it on final. back then, jet engines needed time to spool up, so it wasn't like the pilot coulda throttled up and maneuvered......he was a sitting duck. but.....them's the breaks.

a true american hero. also of note that i think many people don't know......he scored the first kill of an me262

you'd be shocked at how many people don't know what gunshots sound like though. there's usually a couple posts a month on my towns farcebook page or on nextdoor wanting to know "did anyone else hear those gunshots?".....when in reality it was some schmuck setting off fireworks to annoy their neighbors....

the writing was on the wall in feb,,,,,,,

this. times a thousand. or they go out and buy that half million dollar house that they can't really afford. or they buy that mercedes they can't really afford. i see people with a half dozen credit/debit cards in their wallets. they never have cash on them for whatever reason. most are living in perpetual debt. i don't want to hear "there's good debt and there's bad debt". debt is debt.

i'm kinda curious and somewhat disturbed that the fbi's jumping into this.........

on a side note......did anyone see the video that followed it? grandmasterj was arrested.

also also, my shop's in cherry hill. you'd be shocked how many people here in this supposedly affluent town are living wellllllll beyond their means.......

i've seen 4 just on my street. at least a half dozen others in the aves up from my street. i've seen at last another half dozen on warwick rd in stratford, and lawnside....even up by tavistock i've seen 2. a friend of mine is making himself a pretty decent living right now flipping those foreclosures..... also, if they're buying the house then loading cc debt....they most likely bought more house than they can afford, which brings us back to what i'd said in the first place.

that's something i still see happening in my area. i can alsmot always tell by seeing the family that moves in. they move in, and generally might make it for up to 2 years....usually they're gone in less than a year. i'm actually looking at a house around the corner from me that this happened with.......gonna see if i can grab it as a rental property
