    Shooting thread

    Guys, guys. This isn't a shooting forum. This is where we argue about coronavirus response/projections/effects/hype/stats. Take this noise down the hall.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Good Brand of 1911 magazine?

    FWIW, I have some 2016 purchased Kimber Tac-Mags that run just fine in my Custom II, and stay loaded with 8 all the time.

    Dirt/dual-sport/enduro motorcycle question

    You didn't specify new/used, but sounds like you want a lighter-weight bike. The new Honda CRF-450L is supposed to be the tits for a street legal dirt bike, and it's Japanese. The KTM 500 has a strong following. Beta and Husky have cool stuff available in the US. THe XR650L isn't much of a...

    March Corn

    Almanac gave April 1 for corn here. Planted Saturday, 3/28. It was 85*F. Got 8 50-foot rows of a regular sweet corn and a small patch of blue sweet corn, "Midnight Snack" variety. Tomatoes are out, and I have backups in pots in case those get bitten. Peas and beans are up.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 IWB

    Since being quarantined, I've begun to think about a carry holster for a full-size 1911. It's a pretty gun, so it needs a nice house too. It's "just" a Kimber custom II, but there is sentimental value here so I'm wanting something (dare I say it) pretty to tote it around in. That's why i'm not...

    BREAKING: FDA emergency authorization of hydroxychloroquine for IMMEDIATE use in fighting COVID-19.

    The biggest mistake so far is the wide promotion of this combo as a cure when, as you point out, (1) the evidence to date of efficacy is at best anecdotal and (2) there are very few true antivirals. Maybe the combo does allow for a reduction in symptoms that shorten duration or severity of the...

    If those factories are on the CISA list, they are probably still rolling. I know we haven't backed off of planned production at all.....yet.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender pmii 4-16x50 thoughts

    I had a 4-16x42. Beautiful scope, and held out in low light longer than a 4.5-27 razor 2. Like, shooting 6" steel at 250 off a truck window by moonlight good. On a pipeline in a pine thicket. I let it go to chase a dirt bike itch (XR650R....). I'd like to have another, after using the old...

    Nothing wrong with rice and beans. I have a variety of smoked meats in the freezer destined for a pot of kidney beans. Good times and slim. For that matter....as many feral hogs as we have.....I am 100% unconcerned with going hungry.

    I have not read this. Do you have a source? The doses quoted for HCQ, while crude are in line with the 5-6 mg/kg recommendation for use treating other conditions, and also are not long-term. As I understand it, toxicity mainly affects something in the eyes, and is mainly a problem of...
