Please don't goad him. It only encourages the debasement of farm animals that gave their lives to nourish us.

As soon as the cornbread comes out of the oven, it gets soaked with butter. Sometimes I'll dust it with confectioner's sugar. I've also added a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the batter. Leftover cornbread goes well with sausage and eggs with a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Jiffy mix is good, it's what I use most often, but Bob's Red Mill is pretty good too.

What's there to think about? It a cool dog being awesome while in a Clydesdale fancy zebra alpaca costume.

NICS is always on the buyer. Transfer fee, well, it's the seller transferring and the buyer receiving. The buyer can go to a gun shop and buy any new or used rifle without paying a transfer fee. I think the transfer fee should be split, up to $25/ea. Basically, the max FFL fee that can be split is $50. The FFL fee discourages buyers, it's an added cost over the value of the item. Murphy has engineered the private seller market so that both the buyer and seller will loose money in one way or another.

I have one.... somewhere. It was my grandmother's

While new things have improved our lives, some things should only be done "old school" It's the old school that made it good in the first place. The new school just tries to make more money , save more time, take the easy way out. Old school is the best, everything else is second best.

Pence was on FNC with Wallace this past Sunday. Wallace was really pushing the "timing" of the operation. It was like watching CNN or MSNBC. At least three times, Wallace asked questions leading to the suggestion that Trump only did it to boost his popularity and distract from the impeachment shenanigans. I used to like Wallace, until he became a never-trumper. The left will never recognize Trump's many successes as President. Every success is tainted, work in progress is obstructed. It's no wonder info about this op was on a need to know basis. Nancy, Chuckie, and the rest of the seditious assholes can go pound sand.

We only get one original FPID, the very first one. Any changes (Name-Address), or reasons for replacement (mutilated, lost) results in a duplicate. All subsequent cards are duplicates. Dunno why they call it a duplicate, must be for accounting/tracking reasons. We go through the entire background check process, fill out all the same forms, and for old timers like me, go get fingerprints scanned instead of inked at the station. It's the exact same process for getting an original. EDIT: btw, it's worth noting, a duplicate is not the same as a copy. A duplicate is the same as the original in every way, including it's authority. A copy is an impression, a fake, and carries no credence.

I made my own fire starter too, well, technically, Bernz-o-matic made it. I just attached the cylinder of MAPP gas to the torch.

If you have ever posted a picture of a firearm (anywhere), and did not cover or blur out the serial number, there's a pretty good chance Google has run an OCR on it and has associated the serial number of that firearm with your account. Google and FB AIs do an extraordinary job of extracting data frm images.

For crying out loud, would you guys let up on the noobs already. Take your lithium pills, check your tin foil hats and chill out for corn sake, every new member is not a minion of Murphy. You are creating a bad atmosphere for new members. It does not matter what the questions asked here are. As long as they are answered without giving bad (illegal) advise, there is no problem. We, the experienced and knowledgeable, should be helping in a positive manner. Calling out almost every new member as a troll is just plain stupid and not helpful to the 2A community image.

The only thing concerning wood coal I came across was about getting a fire hotter. Dunno how equal volumes of wood and coal compare in burn rate. My instinct tells me that coal will burn longer and be easier to keep going than cord wood. When I do ribs, I can keep a BBQ fire going about 4 hours, without adding coal, using airflow control.

Non sequitur. I never said I was okay with it, or any of the anti 2A BS for that matter. What I did say was the order is for show only. How many CCW holders are there in NJ? Most of them are judges, prosecutors, demonrat fat cat campaign contributors (ya, no quid pro quo going on there). Smurphy may as well add denial of insurance to everyone that owns nukes. The thread title is misleading, suggesting that everyone who owns guns cannot get insurance, when it only affects people with a CCW.

This does not affect us in any practical way. The thread title is as misleading click baity as the article. It is for concealed carry, and we all know about that. Beaver puss is doing this in support of other states, like NY, that want to limit gun owners ability to protect themselves financially, in the event they have to protect their own lives. It's designed to kill the NRA insurance program and deny the NRA revenue. Maybe the puss should do away with insurance for police departments, since, yanno, it only encourages cops to go around shooting people (NOT!). Really, the people this affects the most are retired cops.

So, I did a little reading on firewood, this is what I found to be the general consensus among those who use firewood as their primary fuel source. There are some woods and plants you should never burn indoors. Softwoods, ie evergreens, conifers and soft deciduous like Larch. They burn too fast and produce excessive smoke containing soot and creosote that can cause chimney fires. Softwood may be burned outdoors in open pits for heat but should not be cooked over. Under any circumstance, do not burn pressure treated lumber, any plant or tree that has the word poison in it's name, poisonous plants that don't have poison in it's name, like foxglove or oleander. Driftwood contains a surprising amount of toxins. Rotted wood will off-gas mold, mildew and bacterial toxins. Green wood, aka unseasoned firewood, contains a lot of water and sap. It will not burn efficiently, the fire will not get hot enough to produce complete combustion. The byproduct of incomplete combustion is excessive soot and smoke. Green wood will also hiss, snap, crackle and pop more, increasing the risk of throwing glowing embers out of the fire. Firewood should be seasoned for a minimum of six to nine months. The best time to split wood is during winter months when the air is driest. Logs split in humid seasons will retain, or even absorb moisture and are prone to fungus and mold growth. The ideal length for logs is 18 inches, and logs greater than 12 inches in diameter should be split into pieces no smaller than 4 inches in diameter. Larger logs are cut and split so that they will fit into a stove, fireplace or pit. The length and diameter of split wood is subjective and dependent on the application. Some degree of uniformity in length and diameter helps with regulating burn rate. Processed firewood is typically 4-6 inches in diameter. Fatter logs may be used for longer overnight burns, conversely, thinner logs are used to make a very hot fire for boilers and other high heat applications such as blacksmithing. Now, the question of the day; To split, or not to split? Un-split logs are known as "rounds". Depending on the size of a fireplace or fire box door, rounds may be as wide as 12" in diameter. Rounds have less surface area, so they do not burn as fast. Rounds in the 4 to 6 inch range are generally preferred over split wood in the same size range. Whether or not to split an 8-12 inch round is a matter of preference.
