I chased that bike for many miles through SEO.

I think too many parents think it's their job to try to be their kids' best friend. Being friends is fine, but they'll make friends. They need parents. I think my # 1 job as a parent is to raise capable, well adjusted, young adults. Life lessons, tough love, dealing with disappointment is all part of that.

No one wants their kid to get made fun of...but you know what? Kids need to face disappointment and adversity in increasing levels before they reach adult age and have to face real problems in the real world. It creates real-life, useful coping skills. If they don't you tend to get fragile, unsure, young adults that crumble when thing don't go their....well, you get millennials.

I have a couple of these (non zipper version) for pocket pistols. These are great for front or rear pocket carry. It prints just like a wallet. http://pocketholsters.com/Ruger_LCP_380_Pocket-Wallet_Ho/ruger_lcp_380_pocket-wallet_holster.html

Glock 36 Slimline (single stack 45). Gen 3 ( don't believe there is a GEN 4 of the 36), 2 Mags. Nice condition, no noticeable wear. No box. Trade for?

Ducati has tons of special editions, final editions, and no really this is the final edition. The only ones I've seem command collector prices are the Sport Classics.

Sometimes

The Dr didn't really mention a cause other than saying it's pretty common in Ohio.

I'd argue if I could

If she were to pass away while Trump was president, pretty sure liberals would walk her around "Weekend at Bernie's" style until the next election.

50,000 iu is actually just 1 pill. It's pretty standard to treat severe deficiency. It wouldn't be healthy for someone with normal levels.

The treatment is a really high dose of VItamin D. 50,000 IU per week for 12 weeks. The normal recommended daily amount is 600 IU per day.

Seems legit

So it turns out there may be a medical explanation for this. I just had blood work done after I couldn't shake a cold and it turns out I have a pretty serious Vitamin D deficiency, that's been slowly getting worse for years. It comes with a bunch of seemingly unrelated symptoms like: headache, extreme fatigue, temperature sensitivity, chronic pain, difficulty sleeping, getting sick often, etc...all things that make it hard to enjoy things as much as I used to. It's been pretty awful, but it makes sense. Good news is that once diagnosed, it's pretty easy to treat. I should bounce back after a few months of supplements. We'll see.

Lunch box? It's literally a reusable lunch carrying device. My step dad used to expect us to wash and reuse paper plates. I thought it was stupid & refused (coincidentally, he's a very stupid man). I used to ask him if he was aware that they make reusable plates. Making smart money choices is a good thing, but when it gets too extreme I've seen it get very similar to hoarding.

Correct.

That may be true with a no name Chinese knockoff scope, but I've never experienced this with any reputable brands. Tasco, Simmons, Bushnell, ect make some very good scopes that are relatively inexpensive and get great reviews. High end scopes do have advantages, but a lot of that is only noticeable in low light conditions or at max magnification. That may make the difference if you're hunting at dawn...but, if you're shooting paper at 2-300 yards during the day, I seriously doubt your groups would be any different.

The next long gun I buy will be a Ruger PC carbine. Plenty accurate to 150 yards or so. And it uses Glock mags.

I built an MOA AR with optics for under $500. I bought some parts used to say under $500. It should do better than MOA. but I'll need proper targets to verify. This is hard to beat for the $$ https://www.opticsplanet.com/reviews/reviews-tasco-6-24x42-targetvarmint.html

This is Darwinism, and I don't mean that is the dick sense. The rider broke basic laws, and presumably was riding a motorcycle that was above his pay grade. The passenger chose to get on a motorcycle with an inexperienced rider...perhaps he convinced her that he knew what he was doing....dunno. Poor choices led to death, unfortunately.

There is nothing in this thread worth caring about.

Did you pay the cop?

I have to say I share Grassley's feelings about the media. At some point is became acceptable for national media worry more about shaping public opinion rather than reporting facts. There were many pro Kavanaugh demonstrations. How much coverage did they get?

Did anyone happen to notice the thick, thick irony of the Senate Democrats alleging a biased, partisan investigation? They have strongly condemned Trump for previously suggesting such a thing was even possible. CNN is completely steering clear of that conversation.
