Chaplins in Schools: An interesting concept... might have some merit!

Remove ALL school psychologists / 'counselors' from public schools because they almost always support 'affirmation' of 'Trans' for kids, and other anti-logic views. Federal law should outright ban any school staff, volunteers, etc, from ever even speaking on any aspect of the topic of LGBTq.

Any school counselors should be limited to speaking about academic related topics and not mental illnesses. Students can always speak to the school nurse if they're having health issues that need triaged.

Do schools even have 'nurses' any more? I thought that went out in the '70's?

Chaplins in Schools: An interesting concept... might have some merit!

First in.

I investigated every religion, and denomination of Christianity.

I accepted Christ 55 years ago. I continue to find that religion, all of them, are poison and exist to manipulate the weak, frightened, and confused.

My determination is that we're told to honor God, who is Love, as supreme, and to treat our neighbors as we wish to be treated. Why? because every actionhas an equal and opposite reaction, and you reap what you sow. Whatever you put out multipleis and returns.Thats pretty simple and direct, doesnt need any bullshit dogmas attached.

I'd be in favor of a 'councilor' for kids, but keep religion out of it.

Even when the 'counselors' they have today have drank deep from the religion of Communism? Or are there to be trans activists? Or groomers? Or worse?

The 'counselors' these days don't seem to be working out. Then again, I'm probably generalizing. But most 'counselors' today are products of a far left university system that is telling them they are there to 'counsel' kids to be part of the FSA and to follow the Gaia Hypothesis like it's their real religion.

But agree on the point that they should not be there to push a religion... anyone there to be a listener and should engage in a conversation based on the principles of being a good person... they should be proselytizing. But whatever you think of them, religious folks do tend to have those skills. If you can keep them from trying to convert souls to their particular brand. Which is probably Unconstitutional anyway.

Anyway, we'll put you in the "No" column! ;-)

Cheers,

Long gong

Hey there sir !
Need to start checking this forum more often. Usually just “shopping” through the classifieds lol
I typically hold the Long Gong match after the monthly NRL22 PRO COFs
We have two sets of targets going at the same time…two separate spotters and two separate score keepers.
We have anywhere from 5-15 typically stick around for the LG matches.
Yes sir….300,yds….8”, 6” and 4”.
I will put up wind flags at 150 and 300. I use Atlas targets as the steel has a very nice loud ring to it.
Good info. 👍🏻👍🏻

6.5 Grendel

All 3 of my Grendel’s are semi. I’ve actually got quite a bit of TAC and N140 (like 20+ pounds of each). Just loaded up 150 new Starline cases with 123 Scenars over 27.8 grains of TAC to get fireformed brass and break in 3 new barrels. I absolutely love N140 and use it for my match grade 77 grain SMK and 168 and 169 SMK. It averages about 0.8MOA in my 556, and sometimes under 0.75MOA in my 308. I use cases from the same lot, but no super complicated prep.
Maybe I’ll just stick with those 2. I primarily use TAC for my “bulk” 77 grain 556, 125 grain 308 for my SBR SCAR17, and “bulk” 147-150 grain SCAR rounds.
I’ll do some ladders with both once I’ve got 100-150 rounds on each barrel. I’m looking to stick with 123 grain Scenars as the Precision Firearms loads shot well and the 110 LeHigh match solids were a little more finicky. I’ll give both another few tries.
Tac is great in the grendel. I've always been curious on how n133, n135, and n140 perform in grendel but ive never known anyone to have those powders and have a grendel so they can try. It would be great appreciated if you got to test that out at some point. I myself have some Benchmark I will try but I'm always away for work. There's no telling when I'll get to it.

Firefighters shot responding to wildfire in North Idaho

Sheriff Norris had a press conference today at 2:00. He said the guy was using a shotgun with slugs and they found fragments of a smaller caliber but not confirmed at this time. The murderer had a couple of run ins with both the Sheriff and CDA police for trespassing and wellness checks. Their interactions were peaceful and he has no criminal record. They found him by using drones from multiple agencies. Water & retardant is being dropped on the fire.

Boeing down in India

a statement from Boeing with a few data points that creates a new media fire storm isn't going to help them.

Especially when in all likelihood it was human error or malpractice that was the cause.

I'm guessing the Indian's asked the NTSB to take the lead. Boeing is a party to the investigation. Boeing cant say shit as a party to the investigation lest they be kicked off the investigation...

So you wont hear a peep from Boeing on this...

Precision Rifle Gear The Barrel Burner App- help track your firearm and reloading components via phone

Things I like:
1) proactive company support for data security with the ability to request a database purge from users
2) clean and simple UI with a good font choice
3) detailed tutorials on how to use the app

Things that Need Improvement:
1) I'd suggest adding the "I reloaded", "I bought ammo", "I did maintenance" to a "home" screen, as that will make it easier for the home page to be a launchpad for "I did a thing" which makes it much easier to use as an ongoing concern. no paging through submenus, just open the app and hit the correct button
2) ammo should separate caliber and bullet type, this would make it easier to search by caliber and return a quantity breakdown of each general type (Poly Tip, soft point, FMJ, etc)
2) Optics should allow a "battery last replaced" date field

Other thoughts:
1) I'd suggest following the Garmin model of giving a 7-day free trial on first opening of the full feature set, as you are more likely to retain users when they have a period to discover how the app can work for them.
2) consider adding additional categories: Cleaning supplies, Batteries,
3) Ability to export locally stored information to a .CSV or other table format. this could be for several purposes, including for insurance purposes in the case of a total loss (flood/fire/tornado/etc)
4) Add a Date line to the "I shot today" log line, sometimes it's useful to know when something was *actually* last shot, as that can inform maintenance procedures (haven't shot something in X weeks - clean it and use a different CLP to prevent passive corrosion)

ADD A CANARY SIGN TO YOUR APP SOMEWHERE if you are unfamiliar with the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary
The reasons for this should be obvious. while the actual firearm data may not be 'stored in the cloud' having such a thing would increase the trust an already highly skeptical and skittish user base would have in your services.
I can’t thank you enough for that awesome feedback. The majority of what you mentioned on the “need improvement” is in the works (or looking into it now). For the scope battery stuff, I put that in my notes or when I want to put an alert on my firearm with a date that I replaced a battery. Overall we want this to evolve to be the best thing for any and every shooter, tackling all the gear that is important to track.
The date/time stamp of entries is a current goal, before we get there we wanted to check interest.

The canary sign is a great idea!

We battled figuring the subscription packages and from watching everything that is now subscription based, we took feedback from our testers in all disciplines and came to the current package.

If the tutorials need more work, let me know. I truly appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!
