I wonder how many $billions each one costs?

Isn't someone trying to start making GOEX again. The factory came apart violently. I never shot anything but BP in my 20 years of shooting. Health issues mad ene stop. But I had 80 lbs stockpiled of GOEX. It went like Trailboss when I offered it out.

WOW, you guys got official baseball pants. We got a T-shirt, hat, and wore our jeans and tennis shoes. Which no one ever played tennis with them.

6 stages, 60 rounds, real BP, no issues ever.

I went a different approach. I use Wonder Wads. But they don't have much lube. I soaked them in my long range bullet lube. 50/50 bees wax and crisco. I can shoot 6 stages without touching them. I also used the Mobile red lube on the base pin.

Well, Google pipe cleaners. There are a bunch of companies selling them.

73's in 38 are the most popular. The 66's don't have a lever safety. Rugers are a somewhat clone of the Colt. Dang rugged great pistols. Schofields. I had a pair and sold them. They are heavy and the grip position in relationship to the hammer is difficult if you shoot dualist. As you'll see, most shooters shoot Colts, Colt clones, or Rugers. 38 is great because it will do everything required. And the ammo is the cheapest if you don't reload.

Antique manure spreaders!

I'd offer he didn't listen to the Native scouts and let his ego think he could beat the "savages".

The whole purpose of a "closed" loop system is once its filled it runs. In theory it will need to be replaced in about 5 years. And the chemicals in it have to go through a neutralizing process before bing put into the storm system or sewer system. As to power, if the local electrical is that bad then They must be going to set up their own generating system. And no one would run generartors 24/7 as normal power. Diesel is at $5/gallon or ? there. Lithium battery fires. Sure but the building will have fire suppression systems in it. Not sure what plums are being sent downstream. I don't care if they build another DC anywhere. But, locally everyone got up in arms because of all the wrong info being read on the internet. So I pushed back with facts. Based on the actual design drawings approved by the city.

If the DC's are up to speed they will be using cooling systems that don't use constant flow of water for cooling. Chilled water closed loop systems. The accidents are caused by construction traffic. The DC's themselves employ very few people. But those that work there will need housing, food, gas, etc helping? the local economy. Fire risk from what? Servers in an enclosed building with a fire suppression system. With the power demand the larger DC's are building their own generation system. Maybe thats what they're doing. And the emergency generators come on during a power failure once the internal battery back up system declines and needs charging. Not arguing or being a disruptor but.. When this whole DC the sky is falling thing started I stared doing research. Most of the "bd" things are the result of internet repeating some bad things that have happened. But it turned into all DC's do that. Locally I downloaded the approval design drawings submitted to the City. I found out what was really being done locally.

NHRA is suffering the same lack of a sustained fan base. The generations of rodder's who followed drag racing is disappearing. That and the sport is static. Top fuel is having a hard time to race 16 cars. Back in the 60's there were 32 car races. Pro-stock used to be Ford, GM. and Chrysler in competition on the track and off. Now its become Pro-Chevy. Chevy Camaros with Chevy sort of , engines. The race is over on the starting line. The cars are so close in time and speed. Almost every race is won by reaction times. Boring. The top fuel and funny cars have so much horsepower the challenge is to get them to hook up. Watching an 8 car start and only 2 of the 8 races having both cars making a full run is......>

THe new DC's being built in water compromised areas use contained, closed loop chilled water systems. One filled they will not need to be touched for about 5 years. In th meantime, golf courses use far more water than the average DC that draws water from an aquifer.

NASCAR is trying to gain interest in racing. The newer generations aren't interested. So road course is portable. Hoping to catch some locals for their market. Chicago didn't work well. Mexico was a behind the scenes fiasco. Had to have police and hired security around th e trucks, cars, equipment 24/7.

The hug thing really took off in the 2,000's. Seems it took over the hand shake. Men hugging, nah. Special times. I hugged a male cousin I grew up with when he was on his last days of cancer taking him. Wife, kids, grandkids yeah. My parents were mid-west depression era farm kids. I never received a hug growing up. To them it wasn't a thing to do. That and no words of praise....ever. Dad in his last days did finally say he was proud of me. Even women hugging. In Todays HR suing world no way. Unwanted touching is a path no one understands. Handshakes have evolved into bumping fists since covid.
