Thinking about "chipping" your pet? Look what it did to ours!

I have all the cats chipped, even though they are indoors. We had a Savannah escape a bunch of years ago and I was sick about it. May have died... may have found a new home. But a Chip would have at least given us a chance of finding him if he was picked up by someone.

Cheap insurance...

Never had an adverse reaction! But I certainly can see it happening on occasion. Either procedure or a contaminated chip or a reaction.

Sorry about your dog! Hopefully all is well in the end. But it's a rare thing!

Cheers,

Sirhr

This.
Nikita and her daughter Cloud (my wolfdogs) got loose and ended up on the street in Detroit (I'm in Virginia and its a long story) . They got picked up by animal control. First thing they did was read the chips contacted me, and they were back home in days. Had they not been chipped I would never have seen them again.

What's the deal with "Aid to Ukraine?"

Since the war began, we've spent less than 3% of our yearly allotted defense budget on assisting Ukraine defend themselves from a neighbor intent on fulfilling the restoration of a rotten empire, capable now only of conquering land it can only occupy after completely killing or displacing its inhabitants through a sheer volume of expendable dumb munitions and army of expendable meat waves. That defense budget, which to some people is a totally misunderstood principle, exists to cement our ability to protect and project our ability to enforce our will at home and across the globe. This 3% of the defense budget, which is less than 1.5% of our total budget, hasn't resulted in increased taxes or required funding being pulled from other sources. We've offloaded, replaced and upgraded expired and expiring munitions, vehicles and aircraft, spun up our ability to mass manufacture the aforementioned that did, in fact, create thousands of jobs, maintained our defense manufacturing base and stimulate our economy. Aid packages have been pushed through the unilaterally, as using the money set aside to counter and crush our hegemonic, economic and ideological adversaries while expending exactly zero uniformed American lives is pretty fucking obviously a good expenditure of our defense budget. As of April 18, 2025 our return on investment has been confirmed through verifiable OSINT:

Tanks destroyed: 2838, damaged: 158, abandoned: 388, captured: 533.
Armored Fighting Vehicles destroyed: 1637, damaged: 36, abandoned: 113, captured: 273
Engineering Vehicles And Equipment destroyed: 386, damaged: 48, abandoned: 58, captured: 154
Aircraft destroyed: 122, damaged: 17
Naval Ships and Submarines destroyed: 21, damaged: 7
Self-Propelled Artillery destroyed: 752, damaged: 49, abandoned: 7, captured: 109
Infantry Fighting destroyed: 4568, damaged: 154, abandoned: 465, captured: 629
Trucks, Vehicles, and Jeeps destroyed: 3193, damaged: 104, abandoned: 52, captured: 582

featherweight .22lr rig for PRS

The longer barrel and lighter the butt stock, it will balance with a lower overall weight. Setting up the LOP for a single shooter makes things easier. I would use some super minimalist carbine buttstock. Set the LOP and cheekrest once and done. 24” barrel plus tuner for weight up front. Probably go with the LSS Gen 3 and the long forend; the carbon forend will come later if you want it.

I have opinions about some of what is posited as fact in this thread. But this. This is factually incorrect.

Go read 14 CFR 91.15

As if drug dealers give a flying fuck what the regs say.

See what I did there?

There was something about the legality of modifying civilian aircraft to perform baggage dropping that didn’t comply with FAA rules in the 1980s. Mena was where they performed the aircraft modifications for Southern Air Transport, as well as the pilot training for Nicaraguans. There’s an interesting book written by one of the senior pilots who surveyed the airport and ran pilot training, after being trained on the infiltration methods Barry Seal taught him. He knew Oliver North at the time as well, only under North’s cover name. He details in the book how Barry Seal used Electronic Warfare systems installed in private aircraft to defeat US air defense assets in the Gulf, when he flew the routes back into the US. They also used duplicate tail number aircraft so one would fly the filed route and land at the planned airfield, and the other would fly Nap of the Earth and drop duffel bags in clandestine DZs with awaiting “contractors".

Let’s also not forget about Barry Seal …

Barry Seal was central to that whole operation as one of the senior pilots for Southern Air Transport. He rigged a C-119 with remote cameras and took photos of the Ochoa brothers helping to load pallets of cocaine onto it, before he flew it back to the US.

I've got a b14r with a cf barrel in a q side chick. Probably weighs 6lbs. I took it to one local match a couple years ago and dominated. Won almost every round of 5rd group shooting then won the card. There were about a dozen people shooting that day. I shot the club record on my card. I don't think I've shot it since. Pm me if you're interested.

Pretty small detail but I really wish Vortex staggered their .2 subtentions like a lot of other reticles.
Click to expand...
Ya its a small detail but an important one to me as I hold over for majority of my competition shooting. I agree I do like the staggered subtensiond and actually like how bushnell EQL Reticle does it. The short lines are .2 or .8 and the longer ones are .4 and .6. I get most shooters dial... so Im a small whiner in the grand sceme.

Happy Trails

And why would you think it wouldn’t?

Seems vortex always finds a way to disapoint me. They have it in the EBR 7D reticle but they are dots and are undisgustionable from each other for wind holds so I gotta play the counting game. I just want a more useable tree out of vortex is all. Its nitpicking and I welcome a 4-24 and its all speculation until it releases.

If you find yourself citing US News & World Report, something has really gone awry. You know you can see who owns these companies nowadays, what their names are, who they support politically, where they come from, and whose interests they represent.

Mortimer Zuckerman

In their 2006 paper The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, John Mearsheimer, political science professor at the University of Chicago, and Stephen Walt, academic dean of the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University, named Zuckerman a member of the media wing of the "Israeli lobby" in the United States.[31] Zuckerman replied: "I would just say this: The allegations of this disproportionate influence of the Jewish community remind me of the 92-year-old man sued in a paternity suit. He said he was so proud, he pleaded guilty."[31]

Now go look at how much money US News has received from Pharma. Mortimer isn’t going to advertise against his biggest corporate sponsors. That would be like American Rifleman featuring stories about SIG P320s experiencing uncommanded discharges after taking Wayne La Pierre took a fat check from SIG to run ads in the magazine.
