  7. FS, British Enfield Rifle

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    ...My first exposure to guns was being trained by the British Military on this rifle (Army Cadets, aged 13-16, basically "Boy Scouts with Guns")

    "boy scouts with guns" :D

    you limeys got something right. that, Emma Watson, Keira Knightly, Liz Hurley, and darts. not sure if anything else. ;)

    PM on its way.

  9. No WiFi connection (Apple)

    ...Every 2 minutes i would hear "My Kindle/phone/laptop/tablet wont connect is there something wrong with your wireless?". YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS WHAT PART OF IM BOUT TO FUCK WITH MY ROUTER DONT YOU UNDERSTAND GIVE ME 30 FUCKING MINS!...

    :lol: +rep

    if it connected with no security (after the reset), then maybe move up one step, security-wise, to WEP with an easy-to-remember password. If that works, then you could try WPA2.

    baby steps.

    also, the easiest/best thing to do, imho, is to hide your network's name (make the SSID non-broadcasting). Neighbors won't see it, won't try to connect. If there's a car parked out front with a big can-tenna sticking out the window, you're in trouble, but just in the neighborhood you shouldn't need super-duper security.

    no matter what security you set up, if someone wants in/on badly enough, they'll get in.

  10. Jackson's first year riding a motorcycle

    You might be hindering his learning with the training wheels' date=' honestly. The best way to cure his balance issue is to teach him to ride a bicycle. I bought a dirt bike for Isaac when he was little. He couldn't get the hang of it until he learned to ride a bicycle. After that, he was zooming all over the place.

    Good for you, though. Teaching your boy to ride is something that he won't forget.[/quote']

    there are some people on this forum that could use training wheels - i don't see a problem? :dunno::lol:

    i'm kidding...sorta. He's 3, i'll bet he'll be fine this spring/summer - the wheels will come off, he'll fall a few times, he'll get up, rinse, repeat, and just like Isaac he'll be tearing it up soon enough.

    btw, what kinda skateboard did Isaac get? I got little Derp Jr. a skateboard, but it was a no-name I found for $35 - if he likes it then he'll get something decent.

  13. Need boots suggestions.

    I have a pair of Vasque leather hiking boots (we called 'em 'freak boots' back in the day) that are quite old. Sno-seal each winter keeps 'em waterproof and they look as good as when my Pop bought 'em for me. Re-soled once, a couple of pair of boot laces. Take care of leather boots and they'll last.

    here's a sample of their latest insulated boots, "snow junkie ultra dry" $130 online (click for link to Zappo's):

    a great chef isn't great because of the pots and pans (s)he uses...

    a great painter isn't great because of the brushes (s)he uses...

    a great photographer is great because of his/her camera...

    an old axiom comes to mind: "it's more fun to ride a 'slow' bike fast than a 'fast' bike slow." maybe that's why i have lots of fun riding my 'slow' bike at medium speed.

  18. 2013 Assault Weapons Ban Summary

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    found elsewhere:

    Dear Senator Feinstein:

    I am a lawyer and a gun owner. If you truly believe that it is time to ban or register under the National Firearms Act of 1934 essentially all "modern" firearms then do it honestly and properly; by proposing a Constitutional Amendment to repeal or re-write the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If you feel that our 18th century rights are obsolete in the 21st century then say so plainly. But before you do please re-read the Federalist Papers and George Washington's second congressional address. Please note the genocides that occurred in other countries after they banned private ownership of modern firearms (Turkey in 1915, Germany in 1939, Cambodia, Russia, China and Uganda). Is a theoretical, speculative and statistically insignificant decrease in gun violence worth the sacrifice of the one constitutional right that guarantees the people the means of preserving all the other constitutional rights in the Bill of Rights?

    Climbing on the backs of dead children in front of the nearest TV camera (as you did on "Meet the Press" on the Sunday after the Newtown tragedy) to promote your narrow political agenda is wrong and misguided. You are a United States Senator who should act deliberately and carefully to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

  20. Watches

    in Dumpster

    Posted · Edited by jblosser

    i personally wouldn't pay $400+ for a quartz watch, but that's just me.

    for a beater work watch do as others have said and get an el-cheapo from wherever.

    *edit: measure where the band attaches to the watch ("between the lugs"), should be some even increment of mm (16-18-20-22), then purchase a replacement strap/bracelet. Maratac, Maratac Zulu, Nato G10 are all good brands. Depending upon the watch, a "Bond" strap might look good. Google it.
