    What's the purpose?

     

    My guess is for large roulades, ease of cross cutting into strips, season and fold to put on spindle for Shwarma.

    What part of a carcass is being cut in the 1st two videos?  Hard for me to picture the part of the animal that has that much lean meat area....

    I thought the same thing.........virtually no marbeling with fat.

     

    Probably the round.

    Remember,  much of the world grows beeves that are much leaner than what we do here. They don't grain finish the beeves to rapidly add weight and intramuscular fat. The preference is for a deeper, more intense beefy flavor than the high fat, mild, melt in your mouth American beef.

    All right. I was going to google it but figured I would get a better answer here and I wanted to hear all of the wise crack comments to lighten my day. 
     

    What is this thing you speak of ?

    and what is it used for ?😀🤔

     

    Back in the BC days  (before calculators) people wanted a way to do certain aritmetical functions faster than pen and paper. 

     

    Someone came up with the idea of using log scales to do that.

  3. Circular slide rules are weird

     

    I used to have several 22" regular slide rules, 2 aluminum and 2 bamboo.

     

    Also a 6" that I kept in the glove box along with a small 5x7, 5 section spiral bound notebook that I used to log mileage, maintenance,  trips, and miscellaneous.

    Excluding criminals, who do not obey the laws anyway, what about people who try to purchase a gun through normal means but are legally prohibited from owning a firearm, or people who have been adjudicated to be mentally incompetent, etc. Are you saying that the background checks do nothing in those circumstances?

     

    Hardly a day goes by here in Sonoma County,  California,  that the Santa Rosa Police Department,  the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office,  or both, don't have a press release about a prohibited person being arrested and charged with,  usually,  felon in possession.  Often they are on pre-trial release on other firearms charges. Frequently the firearms are of types banned for possession or transfer in California. 

     

    E.g. today 

    On Sunday August 3rd at approximately 0049 hours, Officers from the Santa Rosa Police Department were dispatched to the 500 Block of Barham Ave for a shooting that had just occurred. Officer arrived in the area and located a victim running on Santa Rosa Av. The victim had one gunshot wound to the arm. Officers quickly applied a tourniquet to the victim’s arm and summoned medical aid. The victim was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Upon arriving on scene officers learned that several suspects had been drinking in the bar. The victim had been outside the bar in the parking lot. The suspects walked outside of the bar and a verbal altercation took place. One suspect produced a handgun and began shooting at the victim striking him once.

     

    Detectives from the Santa Rosa Police Gang Crimes Team were summoned to the scene as this shooting was believed to be gang related. Detectives obtained video surveillance of the shooting and quickly identified Edward Joseph Sciutto, a 39-year-old Rohnert Park resident, as the suspect who had shot the victim. Sciutto has gang ties and had served time in prison for a gang related stabbing in 2010. Detectives began following leads and located a vehicle being driven by Sciutto driving on Southbound Highway 101. A high-risk traffic stop was conducted, and Sciutto was taken into custody without incident. A search warrant was later served on a residence related to Sciutto where a half pound of cocaine and a loaded 9mm firearm were recovered.

     

    Sciutto was arrested for 664/187 PC – Attempted Murder, 186.22 (A) PC - Participate in a Criminal Street Gang, 186.22 (B) PC - Gang Enhancement, 29800 PC - Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and 11350(a) HS - Possession of a Controlled Substance.

     

    The Santa Rosa Police Department is committed to reducing gang and gun violence in our community. The enforcement of gang related crimes and firearms-related offenses continues to be a priority for Chief John Cregan, and our officers.

  5. I would be perfectly fine with it.

     

    I'm completely against any sort federal registry of any sort connected to personal arms (at the very least that's anything that a normal infantry Battalion).

     

    Same for requiring l licenses, testing, or fees to exercise civil rights.

    Yes. Blueberries, peanuts and Kibbles. When I first gave him peanuts he pretty much ignored the ones in the shell. It occurred to me that being a wild bird,  he might never have seen a peanut. After a few days of watching the bluejays he figured out how to hold one down and peck the shell

    open.

    Fascinating.

     

    Scary smart birds. The peanut cage we have is very loose, so peanuts can fall out easily. The crows would wait on the house across from us and wait for their cousins to knock peanuts out of it.  

     

    They've also training my wife to feed them shelled walnuts when they stare in our window and Caw!
