  1. Maybe you need to watch more NASCAR.
  2. If not can I feed it to my snake?

    The performance and feel I get from the Q2's is great for the price. I definitely recommend them unless your a really fast track rider.

    Mid-O

    After eight hours of drilling and tapping we resurrected the broken motor mount bolt. So if i get the bike back together and ready I'll try and make one. It is about time to break it again anyways.
  5. Wait, I want to get in on raping the consumer. I have 300 rnds of .223 that I'll sell for $5 a round. Who's interested?
  6. That's a really cool detail. Now if only he wore a Arai.
  7. Pssst....The ones you listed in stock are still less than yours. New. From the store. Including tax and shipping.
  8. OMG its an MP15 with a rail and BUIS. That's definitely worth $4 billion dollars. Retail: MP15 - $839 Mid-Length Free-Float Rail - $100 (That's being generous) Troy BUIS - $220 Seems like that adds up to about $1160 to me. Hell, I think the MP15Ts went for like $1100 new anyways. The craze is over. Stores have stock again. Go bother uninformed consumers.
  9. Nice bike. I'd be scared to get a beginner a sparkly new bike though. I know I'd have broken it for sure if that was my first. My 250 barely survived. Enjoy the ride and enjoy learning.
  10. I can't wait to find a way to use this in a sentence.
  11. Medics removing ball bearings and lots of lower body injuries and amputations sound like homemade claymores. 3 KIA including an 8 year old boy. Nasty stuff. Hope they find and fry those responsible.
  12. Cabelas had a bunch of used Glocks. However, if you want a good pistol, look into XDs and SIGs. Or a 1911 if you have the cash.
  13. I believe the appropriate question is how much peni seeking was performed in the tent.
  14. You need to update your address for it to be fully legal from the way it was explained to me. Not that I would expect it to be a hassle unless you actually shoot someone. You can either change your address in their records (Free), or pay a few bucks and get a new card issued. All can be done on the spot in about five minutes.
  15. A 250 is great because you really can learn all the little things. The smaller motor really makes you learn shifting and cornering properly because you can't just power out of a mistake as easily. But at the same time, if you grab a bunch of throttle, it won't kill you. A 600 can be a good starter bike, but it requires you to limit the bike significantly, which curbs your learning. The 600 you're talking about is at least not a super sport, so that is a little bit better. The price is really hard to say no to though.

    North Korea

    I spent a year there with the Army, so my viewpoint is based on that experience. In February - April the US and ROK forces conduct drills annually. DPRK whines and bitches every year about it being drills for a war. It all goes away in the middle of April when the DPRK's big holiday happens, or after the exercises are over. It is just routine bantering usually. This year Um involved threats early, more escalation, nuclear threats, and many more tangible actions. The whole thing is likely a push for Um to solidify himself as a real leader. DPRK's trend has been for the nation to create a crisis so the leader can solve it and build rapport and support from the Army and the people. They have announced all their military movements, but as someone said before, that is not that uncommon for international diplomacy these days. Sometimes the threat of an action is a deterrent in itself. The placing of ICBMs (Non-Nuclear) on their coast will likely result in a test firing of a missile. The US will track, and likely intercept it, since we can't be sure what it really is. Their development of nuclear weapons worries me. Nuclear weapons in the hands of stable nations is semi-tolerable. A cash strapped nation like DPRK having a nuclear weapons is a bad idea. They will sell it to the highest bidder to keep their regime alive, and that bidder will likely be a terrorist group that will actually use it. Neither Korea really wants a unified country. The ROK is a thriving First-World country that is participating in the international market. They provide good services and care for their civilians. The DPRK is a power hungry communist state that cares only about staying in power whatever the cost. They don't feed their people and tax them at like 50%. A unified Korea would put millions of DPRK refugees on the ROK's doorstep to take care of. If would cause a significant financial strain on them, as well as the strain on the industry to build up the North. The DPRK doesn't want unification because it puts their communist government out of business and likely exposes lots and lots of war crimes. The problem with attacking DPRK is how dug in their forces are. Even if we stage a massive aerial onslaught (Which the world will never accept a preemptive strike), their artillery is fortified and zeroed on all hard targets in the first 1/4 of ROK. Even missing one gun could mean 155mm rounds in the middle of Seoul, which has a population density of like 50 million people. The causality count would be catastrophic is a very short period of time, with a majority of it being collateral damage. China will almost certainly enter the fight if we invade into DPRK territory to protect their buffer state. So that would be bad. But they likely will not support a war effort of the DPRK into the ROK. Also, if we miss any of the nuclear weapons, the regime will use them in their death throes. Even if the weapon is not fully functional a partial detonation or a dirty bomb explosion will cause lots of damage and death. So it really has to be the entire military and CnC or nothing at all. Preemptive. Now if DRPK invades the ROK, they will push hard and fast due to massive numbers, providing they can keep the supply lines moving. Seoul is like 20km from the DMZ. The US would take some time to adequately resupply the country with troops and gear. The body count of that would be huge too. I have no idea what the right answer to the current problem is. I'm definitely not comfortable with a nuclear powered DPRK because that will just become an Black Market Arms shop.
  18. Don't worry about watching things live unless you're working 3rd shift. Almost all the races end up being live at ridiculous times. The nice thing is being able to set up a bookmark to the no spoiler page and watch the WHOLE race with no commercials at your leisure and still be surprised at the end.
  19. That sounds fun. My friend and I usually go in on the Video Pass every year, so I could show the races as well..
  20. I think he looks really skilled and fast. Most of the rookies have a bit of trouble adjusting and he seems to be avoiding most of that. He shows some real potential. As far as a second coming, that is a few years to early to call. I still think Lorenzo is going to be a force to be contested for the season. Rossi has the potential to be back in the game this season. He is back on a fast bike and has been fast in practice. He knows how to win in most scenarios so I expect at least a few wins from him if not more. I don't believe that Pedrosa has ever sucked. I may dislike him, but he has never sucked. He will be fast and on the podium again this year providing he stays healthy. All the Americans weren't on crappy machinery last year. Spies had a good bike he just couldn't get a handle on, and when he did it got angry with him. He seemed to have a poor start, and then the bad luck seemed to clinch it. The injury didn't help at all. It would have been nice to see him competitive, but seeing all the competitive factory teams with front runners hopefully makes for an exciting season. I don't see Nicky leaving Ducati, and Edwards seems stuck in CRT land for the rest of his career. Sad for both since that likely means they won't see a podium again unless the Italians pull their heads out of their asses. I'm eager too. I can see Marquez, Pedrosa, Rossi, Lorenzo, Bradl, and Cruchlow potentially fighting if the bikes and conditions are right. Dovi, Nicky, and Spies could always be wildcards if Ducati gets it right. Although watching Espargaro lead a race on a CRT ride was awesome. Seeing that kind of thing would be cool, but that would really mean they need to go back to a prototype series instead of a LMP1/LMP2 series.
  21. Because a USP Mk23 is totally designed for concealment.....
  22. 9mm is fun to shoot, low recoil, and lower cost. Good shot placement and ammunition will drop a bad guy. Just about every manufacturer makes a weapon chambered in 9mm. Hard to beat an Springfield Armory XD, a Sig Sauer P226, or a Smith and Wesson M&P for their ammo capacity and cost. Stay away from 1911's in 9mm. They just don't seem to run consistently (The exception is the Springfield EMP). If you do choose that route, a 5" barrel is recommended, a 4.25" at bare minimum.
