As to the edible thing.

I am sick of elitist assholes telling me what is edible.
We get it, you don't like fish unless it tastes like chicken.
Leave the rest of us pussy eaters alone to eat real fish.
And shut the fuck up about the mercury, we get it, it is deadly unless it is bought in a can, or imported from Asia.

I've been fishing for giant blues, and the vast majority of people would not like it either cooked or raw. Think an oily, fishy blue fish or rainbow runner (bait fish IMO) and double it. As far as I know the Japanese are the only ones who eat giant blues.

For comparison when fishing for them you can use Ziki rigs to catch striped maceral and herring to use as live bait, and I'd say a good 30% of the time you would get bite offs because, off Cape Cod anyway, it is so shark infested. When you boat a giant blue you generally tail rope them and drag them in reverse for 20-30 minutes, with the fish bleeding in the water the whole time, to reduce the cortisols and give you a better test at the sales dock. Once you've drug them long enough they slash the gills with a big knife to kill the fish by exsanguinating it (also gives a better test). There are buckets of blood in the water the whole time, and even the sharks won't touch it. One explanation is that the blues swim so fast the sharks can't catch them so they're unfamiliar with the taste, but it may be because it's one of the nastiest and fishiest fish in the sea. By the captain's, whom I fish with, telling it's not good raw, and not good cooked, and not good for anything but selling to Japan.

That said, maybe you can deep fry it like a carp and it's edible.

Yeah I think that’s what I was observing last night

Even Tim Cook (Or as Donny calls him, "Tim Apple" ), Apple CEO says it can't be done. But you, SGOTI, claim everyone else is wrong...a commie in fact.



Nobody said that. Ever. So it seems your statement is based on not knowing what was even said. The claim was the item would cost buyers $3500, not that much to build



Seems we need people like you telling everyone else how to run their lives and we would all be better off. I think you might feel more at home living in China yourself. That is how things work over there. Bon voyage

Congrates and Delta makes a decent name, wife's objections not withstanding

Plus the author was talking about the ten companies they had pre 2020 (corona). The corona ruined a lot of companys ammo/component lines permanently. For example when buying old obsolete calibers at targetsportsusa.com, they always had stock of the weird obsolete stuff. Now, 2 years later theyre still not even halfway there to seeing the old selection. Seems those are dead permanently.

I feel Alpha was small and flexible enough to come back around quicker and move into number 1. I think the corona plus the wars in Europe really put Lapua behind in production numbers.

Oh, I don't know... You could be like Walter "Karamojo" Bell, who killed over 1000 elephants with small-bore rifles like 7x57 Mauser and .303 British. "All" you have to do is sneak up behind them on their flank, and put a quartering shot behind their ear into their brain (aka "The Bell Shot"). Should be easy.

How about this. How about the girl the four white guys knew in high school was the fake and when she became an adult she defaulted into the ghetto queen. Those tribal drums are powerful.

I would say that those would be her exact arguments vis a vis her reinvention as champion of the poor, downtrodden, racist blacks. It is by the same reasoning that Duchess of Essex, Meghan Markle is a downtrodden victim playing the race card. DEI/ESG racism is nothing but a vehicle to make the masters into permanent victims who cannot be criticized, regardless of the reality we share.

You know, it didn't used to be completely fake like this. Democrats in particular used to tout that they they were for the poor, but not of the poor. They put forth they were exceptional people with the highest levels of elite education, and did not have to pretend that they ever cleaned a toilette or moped a floor. To get elected today that can't just claim to be FOR the people. They have to create a false persona that they are OF the people.
Unfortunately for them the last seventy five years of Democrat Party politics elevated all the Senator Eliot Rosewaters exclusively, and the working class finally stopped trusting their lies and grift for their own personal benefit. They've reversed their messaging and public personas a hundred and eighty degrees, but have the same elite archetypes in leadership. More of the same with an evolving messaging to convince people they are for anyone but themselves.

There are, of course, more expensive, elite, private/boarding schools in the Northeast, but MICDS costs over thirty thousand a year in the Midwest regardless of the grade. These are the children of the captains of industry, and the 1%. Their list of notable students, whose names we all would recognize (both for achievements and just being filthy rich) runs pages and pages. If you enter your kid at kindergarten by the time they graduate you will have spent over $400,000 and you haven't paid for a day college yet! Think about that. Elite prep schools like this are the primary feeders of non-scholarship Ivy League undergrads who are going to spend even more than that in four years. I'm pretty sure the mean cost of an education like this is around a million dollars.

To suddenly, or even over time, present yourself as some champion OF the people speaks to an intrinsic dishonestly. How is it any different than a heavy equipment operator putting on a $5K suit pretending to have never worked a day in his life? With all this information in this age how does this even happen? Jasmine Crocket has probably never been exposed to real racism against her for the color of her skin in her life. I can assure you that at the schools she attended there was no tolerance for that at all, and the hazy recounting of her experiences in college and the lack of any resolution are pretty indicative of the false flag bullshit going on at the time. Just like the Michael Brown or George Floyd rioting it was all based on a bald faced lie. A foundation of lies is a foundation of sand.

The purse seiners down in Mexico wrapped so many in years past that the markets were giving them like $0.30/pound and using it for cat food. But the world is worried about the consumption of the fish and regulated the rod and reel anglers.

This is why the pens were made so they could feed and fatten the fish up for the other markets. It was an attempt to limit how much they were wrapping, but then they just made more and more pens so same result, they just make more money.

The only real problem (plenty of small annoyances) I've had with the AT v4 has been the main tube binding up.

I got one of the early pre-order units, and apparently there were some issues with the bearing surfaces - I think it was something with the low-friction tape on the one area - been a while, don't remember exactly. They replaced the part, and it worked fine thereafter. Except every once in a while, it acts up again. First time, I took it apart expecting to find the same thing. Nada. Wiped it down with alcohol and put it back together, no problem for about a year. Had to do it again periodically, but it's not a big deal - other than it invariably rears it's head when I'm loading for a match the next day

Bought a couple of weeks ago, hardly ridden. 2002 XR400R. Third one I own. Check out the forks, Emig triple clamps CRF250R forks. Bike is like me: a little heavy and kinda slow.

Nice score. Not sure if they're still around, but A Loop used to make a seat/tank conversion to get modern ergos on these bikes.

All the pricing I have seen has been $2000-$2150 for the civvy lrf. Granted without an official pricing from Magpul it's best guess at the moment. I imagine the current climate of things may have an impact as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it is $2500+ based on what it looks like on paper. But if it is closer to $2k, I don't know why you would go with the tango at $1800 assuming the Magpul performs.

Click to expand...

My thought too. I really like the Tango unit, the lack of environmentals doesn't bother me in the slightest. But not at $1800. If the Magpul comes in closer to 2k, and includes the environmentals? It might be worth a much closer look.
