Coming from the IT world, I fully understand it's not a super easy process. But as an end user, having the same capabilities on the phone as exists on the Garmin is highly desirable. Having all of the devices at once is a super nice to have, but having at the very least the weather/kestrel/calypso along with whatever range finder connected at the same time is almost mandatory.

I agree. While I can understand it’s tons of work to get there, I think it should be the end goal.

For casual long range shooting, peeking at your phone seems reasonable, but I think in an ELR / PRS stage situation, having everything update in real time on your gun mounted HUD would be awesome.

You make the coolest stuff.

I can't afford it, so I made it, fixed it, restored it, etc. It's how you get cool stuff with sweat equity!

Cheers!

My apology I read the post before yours and assumed your post had to do with the job report from this morning. My mistake.

All good — I should be better about quoting specific passages in my replies.

most porsches are a very forgiving car for driver mistakes and their lack of raw monster torque helps to keep it that way ....ya rev da snot outta every gear and hope you get to the turn before the corvettes .....it does not work ....the vettes are waiting for ya

The reputation of some of the hotter 911's back in the 80's and 90's was that "You'll always wreck your first 911."

The arrival of the Carrera 4's and AWD totally changed the equation! They didn't tend to go tail first into things if you let them get away from you! The RWD Turbos and the like were for some pretty expert drivers (when driven towards their limits!)

Today, they're like being on rails!

So, yeah, they aren't Lambo crazy!

Cheers, Sirhr

It definitely likes the 16TW better.

Will play with it at range to make the final call. Will say 2 boxes in, I'll not be purchasing any more. It just does not do what 20.00 a box ammo should IMHO.

I’ve been looking for that video and the events of that incident for years.

Do we know the details?

I never knew what firearm it was.

You like to leave out critical details:

State government added 47,000 jobs, mostly in education (+40,300), while local government education employment also rose (+23,200), more than offsetting the decline in federal jobs.

Job growth picked up in June despite economic uncertainty

The Labor Department released its jobs report for June which showed U.S. employers added 147,000 jobs last month as the labor market weathered economic uncertainty.

How does this have anything to do with my comment on stated Biden-era “job creation”?

Well on the bright side it’s better going out racing cars than by cancer or huffing keyboard duster

Forget about the "waste and fraud"
The big issue is the huge amount of money the "insurance companies" and other "administration" types take for themselves while denying urgently needed care to others. "Oh we can't afford to let you have xxx treatment" while pulling down multi million dollar salaries off the backs of people forced to pay for "insurance".

You’re not the first one to mention this in the past couple of days.

The insurance companies could still continue to make a killing in the market, but they deny care for many helpful treatments.

We need Medical insurance co-ops, user-owned and funded, opt out of any other of these extortionist schemes.

This is a good update. I like that the VectorX is finally supported. My gripes with the app are overall very minor.

I wish that the TerrapinX could be supported but it’s my understanding that limitation is on the Terrapin, not with AB Q.

Thank you for the continual updates and your presence here on the forum. It is greatly appreciated.

I have Mecicare, I'm thankful for it, and try to use it with respect. I think they take $170 or so a month out of SS. Thats cheap insurance. I chose not to go with one of the plans as I like to pick who I want. I've been paying the 20% but may get a private policy to cover that. Healthcare aint cheap. Been to the dentist lately?

Just got one kid out of braces, the next one just got braces, and the youngest needs dental surgery.

Been to the dentist and the auto repair shop, thank you.

Meanwhile, illegals get their kids to go to the dentist monthly in our area for regular check-ups and everything the good dentists can think of to keep them coming back, all on our dime.

But old money Mafia pilfering Medicare and Medicaid, along with foreign entities to the tune of billions absolutely needs to be brought to a screeching halt and every guilty party prosecuted, their assets seized, and the taxpayers refunded. Yeah, that will happen.....

However, this frees up billions to go to the actual intended beneficiaries and hospitals, and to get a more realistic picture of what demand is actually like without the fraudsters.

I think they’ve just barely scratched the surface on Medicare fraud though.

It’s a program that is so ripe for abuse, especially by organized crime in the US and abroad.

To each their own. Some people think big ass carbon fiber spoilers on fwd Honda civics look cool. I think it’s stupid. I feel the same way about taking a perfectly good steel blank, contouring it thin as hell, and glueing a bunch of carbon around it and hoping that you didn’t fuck up it up inducing stresses.

Maybe when carbon fiber was a novelty, now they make everything out of it. In applications where it’s functionally superior it’s cool. Just using it to be cool with carbon when it doesn’t offer functional benefit is the opposite of cool to me.

Everyone has their own opinion. That's all we are discussing. I don't like the look of pencil barrels, but I like lightweight rifles for mountain hunting. A good cf barrel is maybe $300 more than a good steel barrel, and for hunting applications, the differences aren't functionally important, so for those of us that like the look, it's worth the extra $300. When I look at my primary mountain rifle, I have almost $12k in the total package. The extra $300 is a drop in the bucket.
