They all have trouble with wet leaves. When blowing out beds and such around the foundation, always work right to left, keeping the foundation, beds or whatever on your right, i.e., the tube side. Though it may seem counter intuitive, sometimes you have to blow out beds in the opposite direction of the street.

One hill at a time brother.

This just in re 80% lowers. ATF is quite unhappy about it.

This is the legal status quo for NJ serfs. EVERYTHING (in every aspect of life in NJ) is illegal unless Trenton gives you a permission slip. What is not expressly permitted is tacitly denied. We live in a two class society of lords and serfs.

There is definitely political price fixing going on. However, the state of the oil reserve has implications beyond prices at the pump. The demoncrats are working another angle. What it is, I have no idea.

What he's doing is strategic, just not part of any strategy that's good for America. I don't know how all this fits in yet, but the Dems are setting themselves up to be a major oil buyer. They have to replenish the SOR, and are planning a huge bulk buy when the price drops to $70/bbl. What's happening here isn't the dems panicking and dipping into the reserves. They want the well to be empty for some future bamboozle they are planning.

FNC this morning. $2.1T has been lost from retirement plans in 2022 so far.

You will be hard pressed to find a better outfit than RPP when it comes to Marlins. They are very popular on the Marlin forum. They sometimes have special offers for MO members. I thought about getting one of their loading gates for my 336.

There are a couple guys on the Marlin Owners forum that do this sort of thing with beat up guns. I don't think it looks bad or ugly, but it does not seem to be particularly useful either. Like, what's the point, other than to appear modern.

They are pretty standard, ATX PSUs all have the same connectors and are a universal size. They vary by output measured in Watts, some have built in power filtering. Important machines like servers get the good stuff, regular PCs get whatever is the least expensive PSU matching the power requirements.

No opinion. After XP, I transitioned to Ubuntu Linux. It's free and far more efficient than winderz.

You are logged on as baby cap, not logged on with your usual account. You must have set up an alternate account on the laptop. I still suspect the PSU. If it's just a power supply, then fix it. They are not costly. Get one off Amazon, and if it turns out it wasn't the PSU, just return it. Amazon is petty good about returns.

Are you saying you can get to boot manager, but you cant select anything, or are you saying the power cycles before you can do anything?

Carlson chokes are hardly "cheap" They may not be as polished as snobby Briley chokes, but they work just fine. I run Briley's in my trap gun. They don't perform any better than the Carlson's I had been using, but the extended tubes do look cool.

This may make your blood boil, but it's not overtly political, so I'm going to leave this here for now. Iraqteteran8888 of You Tube fame posted this video about a recent development in UPSs policies regarding FFLs. . UPS wants FFLs to give them unfettered access to their books, and will not make a commitment to never share or sell any information collected. REMEMBER I posted this in General, this is not the Asylum, don't post anything that would make your nan unhappy to hear from your face.

Well, if ya eat enough of 'em, I suppose.

Bad power supply. If you have an old computer laying around, and your PCs are not weird proprietary form factors, you can probably swap out the PSU. I'd unplug everything and test with a different PSU on a bench first. It's too bad you are far from me. I could probably diagnose the problem in about 15 minutes.

In my 12 years as a PC tech, I never once ran into a machine that could not be booted up when a CMOS battery was popped out, ie, not installed, or dead. Sans button cell battery, after date and time are set, and HW options configured, the PC will run just fine. However, after a power down, all CMOS settings will be lost. The sole purpose of a CMOS battery is to keep alive the custom setting in the BIOS. If all the hardware is healthy, default BIOS settings will still be there. BIOS corruption does occasionally happen, but it is relatively rare and usually related to a botched BIOS upgrade or a power surge that has partially fried a mobo.

On board video is usually disabled by the installer when a video card is installed into an expansion slot. It's not an automatic thing, it has to be disabled in the BIOS. OB video and an expansion video card can be active at the same time, it's very common on dual monitor systems. A dead CMOS battery will not crash a machine or prevent booting up. The time may be off, the system may not recognize the add-ons, but every machine with properly functioning hardware WILL boot up to the extent that it can regardless of CMOS battery. A dead CMOS battery will not cause this. It sounds to me like you have a hardware issue. If you are able to power up and access the BIOS, then the PC spontaneously power cycles, it's likely an overheating problem, a bad power supply, or possibly a bad HDD controller. Check the CPU and GPU fans and heat sinks for dust buildup and that the fans are turning freely. There is only one way to diagnose "mystery problems", and that is to disconnect components one at a time. I'd start with the video card. Pull that (with the power off of course), power up, go into BIOS and set to OB video. Remember to power down EVERY TIME you do anything.
