Gun ownership isn't imperative to living free. The ABILITY to own guns is. Freedom: Exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc. The power to determine action without restraint.

I thought about this a little more. I know some people hate the car analogy. They say cars serve a different purpose, etc. Okay, I see where you are coming from. I know most of you drink (atleast socially) so let use that. Beer serves one purpose and one purpose only. To get people buzzed, drunk, fucked up, or whatever you want to call it. However when someone gets drunk and kills people in a wreck we don't talk about banning alcohol. We don't ask the guy at the drive thru if he feels bad for selling that case of beer. We blame the individual. We realize that they took something that requires a certain amount of responsibility, and used it in a manner that they knew was illegal and dangerous. Why don't we see firearms in the same light?

The same amount I would feel if they killed someone while driving a car I sold them.

If I want to sell a close friend a firearm I prefer to not be required to pay for a background check. I am all for gunshop background checks. When it is business with unknown people, it's a whole different story. An example of related regulation would be, paying cash for a car. If I sell my Cobra and someone hands me 18k cash, no big deal. He gets his car, I get my money. If I sell a car on my lot for 18k cash, I have to fill out IRS forms detailing the cash transaction, the denominations of the bills, etc. Businesses should have more regulation than than individuals. Current legislation aligns with that. The proposed (and failed) did not. Kudos to them for shooting (pun intended) that garbage down.

Then that lends to the notion that there is not money to be made in buying the boxes......

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a certain tech was as good as it's gonna get............ only to be obsolete within a year, lol. Makes you wonder though, if it were that cut and dry, why would companies like Butterflylabs even sell miners? Why not just run them instead of selling them?

I'm not saying not to do it. I have thought the same thing. My fear is that a significant drop in bitcoin value would happen, or someone would develop something that blows the ASIC out of the water in the near future.

That's a tough number to run, with the amount of variables in the given equation.

What kind of business do you own? Most types of businesses have some sort of associations that business owners join. Those associations usually put together group insurance plans as a perk. Ofcoarse you pay, but your premiums should be lower in the group than they would be by yourself.

99% Sure I can't make it. If it starts getting close though, shoot me a PM or text and I'll buy a couple of the spots if need be.

I would say the Crazy left, and the Crazy right probably make up less than 5% of the population. With the other 95% being a lot closer than they think (even though they lean one way or the other). What blows my mind is how these bat shit crazy, ass wipes tend to get so much control in the parties.

Yeh, I'd be a player at that too. I actually don't HATE buying gold right now. Maybe I put too much into your thread title. "Go for broke time" IF I were to buy Gold right now... I would probably think about Dollar Cost Averaging into it. Edit: You can personally thank me for killing the precious metals market. I bought some coins and bullion a couple weeks ago. I typically stay out of that kind of investment, but I came across an unbelievable deal (especially on the silver). So OFCOARSE those markets would take a beat down soon after I dive in. It's like washing your car.... right before a surprise thunderstorm

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Make sure you double down on AAPL while you are at it.

A buddy text me the same thing when it went below 1500. I laughed. I'm still waiting for the bottom.

Depending on what date you came up with, I would be in. If you are in need of more C/D players anyways, lol.

Unreal...... Glad she is ok.

Goes for me too. Excellent post Lee, and I apologize for passing incorrect judgement. Our system of granting people access to the site works 99.9% of the time. This was one of those .1% of the times when it failed. Glad you decided to come back, and welcome. I'd love to hear more about your rides past and present.

Will probably have to take the kiddos to see this one as well

Would I made sure I acted as what would be considered as socially normal, ABSOLUTELY. Be courteous, no profanity, etc. Would I blow a dude to ask him about a couple cars he owned.... no. EDIT: Keep in mind, I already conceded that my initial reaction was wrong. I was completely fine with the rule bending that was going on after I thought about it.

Last night I seen all this shit on here pretty much at a glance. My initial gutshot response was similar to Tim's. I just didn't have the balls (or care enough) to post it. Come back today and I see a couple people, who's opinions I respect, sticking up for this Lee guy. So at this point I am torn on what to think, so I google the guy. 6 second street vette, 8 second stock looking foxbody, etc. Guy has definitely had some cool shit. At this point I too decided I must have been wrong with my initial impression of the guy. BUT, If this dude seriously has that kind of attitude over what was posted in the oven thead (No real trolling, people treating him like a racegod more than anything) then personally I say, fuck him. I know I'm no one important on here, and my opinion doesn't matter anyways, but I felt compelled to throw it out there anyways.

:gabe: Busting balls bro. I am not very familiar with the G35's AWD system, but I assumed if you could visually see the car transferring power between the front and back that the car shouldn't be on anything but a locked AWD dyno. (and you stated that you dyno yours at IPS without the dyno being in AWD locked mode.... Unless I misunderstood)

I'm not sure what I find more disturbing. The fact that you would allow CTD to touch your car.... or the fact that you risk destroying your drivetrain just to see a higher number on the dyno screen.

Trade for an SKS plus a little cash?

Well that depends.... What is the maximum wager?
