    If you look at the OP  photo again,  the base is thick. You can take as much or as little of the oil as you want. 

    Yea I see that but the hummus I buy is not oily at all, it’s nice and thick just the way I like it.

    That's olive oil.  Proper hummus is spread on a plate and has a good drizzle of top quality olive oil and and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice. 

    Well you can have “proper” I like it thick and I never put oil on it.

    If you had a beverage at your house that you did not want. I specifically thinking of a bottle of liquor, but it could be any beverage.

     

    Would you simply put it in the trash can, so it could be picked up on garbage day? Or would you open it, pour it down the sink, and then throw the empty container in the trash?

    Pour it down the drain, rinse out the bottle and throw it in the recycling bin!

    I've done it, it IS that easy. 👍

    Best way to really learn your gun......

    I may not need a new sear and hammer according to a couple gunsmiths I’ve talked to. I’m going to give to an excellent gunsmith here.

    If you can change batteries in a flashlight,  you can replace the hammer and sear.

    It ain't hard at all.....

    No thanks, I’ll leave it to an expert

    I highly doubt it’s as easy as changing batteries in a flashlight! 🙄

    Take the buttstock off and flush the action/receiver with carb/brake cleaner. 

    Blow dry, do this twice.....

    Then spray in your favorite lube. Blow it out and let sit to drain with muzzle up overnight.  Reassemble and try it out.

    If you order replacement parts,  get a hammer and sear.

     

    If it’s still a problem after I disassemble it and thoroughly clean it, it’s going to a gunsmith. I won’t do anything to it myself. But

    A good thorough cleaning may help if you haven't disassembled your rifle for quite a while and you may find what the problem is.  

    Good advice, I have not taken it apart to clean it for at least a year or more. I clean it but I don’t take it apart. 

  8. I went to kindergarten in 1952, I found this:
     

    So, in summary:

    • 1950s: Kindergarten was not required; children could generally enter first grade at age 6 without attending kindergarten.
    • Around 2001: Ohio law was changed so that a child must successfully complete kindergarten before being admitted to first grade (except for specific early-admission exceptions).

    Handshakes have evolved into bumping fists since covid.

    Yea that’s going on but there’s much more hands shaking and hugging going on. That’s what I see in sports,entertainment and even politicians and common folk.

  10. Man hugs are not gay, I see athletes doing it all the time, JD Vance even did it overseas with several world leaders which actually prompted me to post this. My point and question was I assume this is a recent thing. I never do it myself. Some old friends that I haven’t seen in a while will go for a hug. I’m okay with it but not with people I don’t know or just met UNLESS it’s a hot female ❤️😂

    This is funny. I'm working on a PhD in psychology as we speak, and when I was a cop I graduated from a bona fide interrogation school. So there is a lot of research out there about the psychology of handshakes; you can tell a LOT about a person (but especially men) in how they shake hands. Funny enough, when I last read about this, not enough people were doing the man hug to have gathered any data. But in terms of meeting new people, I immediately know a lot about how this relationship (whatever that may be) will go. Or simply by observing two other people I can tell a lot, too.

     

    Bottom line: Have you ever shaken hands with someone who turns their wrist so that their hand is on top of yours rather than remaining equally upright? DO NOT allow it to happen. Twist yours against theirs competitively so your hand and theirs both remain upright. I would never suggest overpowering them to put yours on top (by the way, you're a complete arsehole if you do this); just keep both hands equally upright. Whenever someone twists their hands so they are on top, they are psychologically establishing dominance. They likely have serious control issues, are very demanding, and think they're better than everyone else. Rest assured they haven't thought this through--they don't realize they're doing it. All they're doing is revealing what lies underneath subconsciously. 

     

    What makes it bad to allow this to happen is when you allow yourself to be dominated in the handshake, subconscious signals are sent to their brain--and yours--establishing a hierarchy with them on top and you on the bottom. Again, neither of you realizes it or consciously decides this is how it's going to be. But this is how it's going to be. They will mistreat you and try to control you (and, keep in mind that control freaks can do so in a number of ways--they can be aggressive and demanding, or cunning and deceitful, or anything in between). But regardless of how they go about it, rest assured that you have green lighted them dominating you by allowing your hand to turn over during the initial handshake. So don't let it happen. 

     

    That's just one aspect of the psychology of handshakes and the only one people really should know. The other stuff is just observational. For example, I'm sure you've noticed some people will pull closer to you during a handshake, and others do it at arm's length. There is nothing inherently good or bad about either, but it simply reveals their comfort levels with personal space. I've observed that Western ranchers, used to living in wide open spaces and seeing more cattle than people, will be at arm's length, whereas city-dwellers and businessmen will draw closer, for example. Trump, a New Yorker, is a close-in handshaker, for example. 

     

    Have you seen someone use their free hand to touch the arm you're shaking with, sort of making a two-handed handshake? It signifies genuine warmth. The problem with this is that this tidbit of knowledge is in every business textbook, so manipulators have started using it to establish connection with people when they plan on taking advantage of them. So it could be genuine (especially with someone who hasn't read a lot of business or psychology textbooks), or they could be intentionally trying to get on your good side. 

     

    I could go on for a long time about this, but I'll spare you the academics. Just don't allow someone to dominate you in a handshake.

    Interesting thanks👍 Now the question is are you into the “man hug” ?😂😂

  12. I’m having a problem with my Taylor’s Uberti 73. All of a sudden it started doing this. Sometimes the hammer follows the bolt forward. Is this an easy fix or is this a major problem? Thanks ahead of time.

     

    RYE 

  13. So now is it a thing that men shake hands and do a “man hug” too? I don’t remember this happening in the 50’s. 60’s 70’s. When did this start? World leaders are doing it as well. Can we just shake hands like men? 🙄

    I only do the hug thing with my sons and maybe some family members and a few very close friends.

  15. Ravenna a city in NE Ohio is fighting a data center because of water issues. Apparently they are not hooked into Cleveland water that is getting water from Lake Erie. Ravenna maintains their own water through small lakes, creeks a river and ground water. They claim the data center would take too much water.
