Except for pressure cook. That's kinda insta-pot's thing, a heart attack free pressure cooker any idiot can use. My mother and grandmother used stove top pressure cookers, they were frightening. It sometimes sounded like there was a small war going on inside those things. Not once did they blow up, as I was sure they would.

Salesman was an ignorant putz. Tube fed lever and pump guns are exempt. Not 100% sure about semi-auto with tube mags but I believe they are exempt too.

That depends on what economy you are looking at. Keeping baby boomers alive longer terrifies insurance companies, and other industries too, I'm sure. Social security admin is not looking forward to people collecting the money they contributed because that account has been plundered and will never have enough money to support all the retiring boomers.

They are acutely aware of the "electoral collage problem" and have a plan to deal with it. The plan is very similar to the "block busting" they did in the 60's and 70's. The plan is to encourage liberals that live in politically "safe" areas to move to red states with liberal enclaves, then just out breed American conservatives.

Florida is only a temporary reprieve. East coast liberal parasites have sucked states and cities dry, and are fleeing the scene of their crimes in droves. They are bringing their progressive socialist values with them. It's only a matter of time. Liberalism is a cancer that, if left alone to spread, will eventually metastasize to every major metro area in the nation. They have a plan to overtake strategic cities that are currently conservative majorities to win swing states. They always move from CA to TX, or NJ to FL, and that's no accident.

@DaddyNick I'm very sorry for your family's loss.

I kinda thought by now there'd be a cure for cancer, little nano machines to repair damaged tissue and all that. Well, here we are, on the eve of 2020 and I STILL don't have a flying fucking car!!!

I'm not replacing smoking with bacon, you nut . Gonna be bringing it home from feral pig hunting. But still, there will be a lot of bacon, and hopefully some guanciale too.

I tried Chantix five years ago. It messed with my head and caused me to have morbid thoughts. Had to stop that after two weeks. I'm a happy person who very much likes hearing his own heartbeat. All the sudden I found myself thinking what it would be like to drive head on into a cement truck. Not like actually wanting to do myself in, just freaking crazy thoughts. That shit had to stop. I've tried the patch, Nicorette, lollipops, chaw, hard candy, chewing gum, mints, Twizzlers, and going for walks and all sorts of stuff. I had the desire but did not have the resolve so always failed. This year, I have resolve. I've already cut back from about a pack and a half a day to less than a pack a day. The one and only time I had a good shot at being quit forever was when I was in my mid 20's. I had quit for almost five months and had absolutely no desire to smoke. In fact, my nose deafness went away and I finally smelled what I used to smell like. This was back when we could still smoke in bars. Whelp, I met a gal, and she smoked. I resisted but, well...... I kidded myself saying I was only a social smoker and started becoming a mooch. Then I started feeling bad about being a mooch, and bought a pack. Of all the methods, the only one that seemed to work was cold turkey, so I'm going to try that again. If my resolve alone is not enough, I'll probably get the patch for a while.

I really think I can do it this year. It's bad enough it's costing me over $3,500.00 a year now, but it really galls me that over 50% of the cost of a pack goes to that fuckwit Beaverpuss in excise taxes. They say it helps if you have a goal. My goal is to save enough to buy a ridiculously expensive thermal scope, so I can finally go feral piggy popping after dark. Not in NJ, obviously. There will be bacon, lots and lots of bacon.

Bullseye Tactical Supply in Woodbridge .

Of all the gauges, 410 is the most worthwhile to reload.

The giftee is a retired Lt. Colonel. It would be funny as hell to see the look on his face. I really do appreciate the offer but I already got him a bottle of way overpriced small batch vodka in a novelty bottle.

What size shot are you using. Reports say that Morton's #9 is no good in that gun and it performs better with hand loaded #4 Himalayan pink salt.

BB&B did not have them, moved to seasonal storage to make room for xmas presents. I ended up buying him a bottle of fancy booze instead.

I screwed up and waited too long to order a bug-a-salt for a gift in time for xmas. Has anyone seen them sold in Monmouth co?

Don't worry man, everyone figures it out eventually.

Just keep looking. You'll eventually get it.

it needs to be at least 8 characters long. change it to admin123, much stronger.

The "flaw" in all electronics manufactured in China is the surveillance capability that they secretly embed into firmware of all kinds of electronics. The Chinese were modifying firmware on American branded products and burying the code deep to avoid detection. Ten years ago the Pentagon and a bunch of gov't agencies found that wired and wireless network hardware like routers and switches were storing data and sending it back to China.

Home Depot carries a glove called Firm Grip Extreme. It's not a cold weather glove, but they are enough to take the edge off the cold. They have a good tactile feel. I use em at work doing landscaping and also at the range.

I made a snowman... 8:00 am: I made a snowman. 8:10 am: A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snowwoman. 8:15 am: So, I made a snowwoman. 8:17 am: My feminist neighbor complained about the snowwoman's voluptuous chest, saying it objectified snowwomen everywhere. 8:20 am: The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead. 8:22 am: My transgender friend passed by and asked why I didn't just make one snowperson with detachable parts. 8:25 am: The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with. 8:28 am: I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white. 8:31 am: The Muslim gent across the road demanded the snow woman wear a burqa. 8:40 am: The police arrive, saying someone has been offended. 8:42 am: The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snowwoman needs to be removed, because it depicted women in a domestic role. 8:43 am: The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction. 8:45 am: My local TV news crew from the ABC showed up, asking me if I know the difference between snowmen and snowwomen. I replied, "Snowballs." Now I’m called a sexist. 9:00 am: I'm on the morning news, being described as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe, and sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather. 9:10 am: I am asked if I have any accomplices. My children are taken by social services. 9:29 am: Far left protesters offended by everything are marching down the street demanding I be charged by the Anti-Everything Commissioner and then beheaded. So, how's your morning been?
