and a Hubertus side-lever automatic (Spelled SWITCH BLADE and a real POS) knife..
I hear you. I have one of those Hubertus lever locks, and the piece of crap will not hold an edge. The mechanism constantly fills up with pocket lint so when you try to open it it opens about a third to maybe halfway and stops.
And then one day I opened it and I heard TING!! and the top third of the spring broke off and went bouncing across the kitchen floor.

The Corsair was responsible for shooting down at least one MiG in the Korean conflict!
Artificial intelligence? Skynet?
I always thought that fighter pilots were responsible for shooting down enemy aircraft.

In the instance that Pat was talking about (Use it or shove it), I don't abide rude people and treat people the way that I'm treated. In that instance, I would have lit her up and then left.
Me and thee have different understandings of that story.
The way I read it the waitress said that you have to use the tablet. And Pat asked if she could take the order. And she told him again that he had to use the tablet.
Then HE TOLD HER to use it or shove it, and he and the Mrs got up and left.
I have never been in the place that had a kiosk. Maybe they haven't made it to my side of the country. Maybe my town is too small. But it seems to me that it would be like self-checkout in a big box store.
If you want my business you will get somebody over here to ring the stuff up. If you can't be bothered to come ask me what I want and bring it up you obviously don't want to sell it to me. And I would leave.
I have that same attitude about waiting to be served. There are many restaurants in my town. But there is no place that the food is so damn good that I'm willing to wait a half hour or more to be seated. If I go in and there's a huge line and they say "it's about a 40 minute wait", I turn around and go out the door and find some other place to eat.

The one depicted looks quite delicious!!
It does indeed.
The recipe, in case you're interested in giving it a shot.
Ingredients For the Australian Beef Casserole Recipe
Beef Chuck Roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
Olive Oil
Chopped Onion
Minced Garlic
Sliced Carrots
Sliced Celery
Peeled Potatoes
Tomato Paste
Worcestershire Sauce
Dried Thyme
Dried Rosemary
Paprika
Bay Leaf
Beef Broth
Salt
Pepper
Cooking Instructions For the Australian Beef Casserole RecipePreheat oven to 350°F.
In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the herbs and spices are fragrant.
Add the beef broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot and stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf. Season the casserole with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.Since it is baked in the oven for a couple of hours, it might actually be a casserole. Still looks like stew.
That recipe would probably be more helpful if it told you how much of the various ingredients for required, and not just the various ingredients. Ah well.

. I also Have a Glock 32 that I can swap out barrels to shoot 40 and 9mm. doesn't make it three guns.
27 minutes ago, Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 said:I have multiple barrels for my Handi Rifle as well (45-70, 30-06 and 223). I figure that will let me hunt anything in North America if I wanted to... but that is still one gun
I'm going to have to disagree with that one.
Now if I have a gun with two barrels, that's one gun. Double barrel shotgun, double rifle, combination gun. One gun. If I had a drilling or a veirling, that's still one gun.
But if I had say a TC encore, with a rifle butt and a shotgun butt and a pistol grip, and three different rifle barrels and a 12 gauge shotgun barrel and 12 different pistol barrels - that's not one gun. That's 16 guns.
I have a 1911. It has a full size 45 ACP top half. It has an officer's size 45 ACP top half. It has a commander size 9 mm top half. That's three guns.
My opinion, and I'm sure there are many people that don't agree.

Don't care what the album cover says. That's mashed potatoes.
With whipped cream - if her body heat did not melt it off the camera lights certainly would have.

I bought a $5,000 gun one time. I told the shop owner - my credit card company pays me 1%. So when I buy that $5,000 gun they're going to pay me 50 bucks. That means the gun is going to actually cost me $4,950.
They charge you 3% for accepting the card. So that $5,000 charge - you're only going to get $4,850 of it.
Let's split the difference. I will give you $4,900 in cash. We each make an extra 50 bucks.
He wouldn't do it. I said okay, and laid down the plastic.

I bet I could climb a pole like that, if I had retractable claws on all four feet.

pay the bill in cash because they charge an extra 5% if you pay with a card.
My phone. I pay it online with a credit card. It's due on the 15th. On the 8th they would send me a text that said I needed to pay it by the 15th. Then they quit doing that. The first month that they did not send me a notice, I lost track of the days, and on the 16th my phone did not work. Well obviously I could not pay the bill online since I could not get online because my phone didn't work. So I drove the mile down to the phone place. They charged an additional $3. I thought that was because they had turned me off - that it was a "turn back on" fee. Made sense. Electric does that, gas does that, water does that. They turn you off and there's a service charge to turn you back on.
But no. You pay at the store and there's a $3 service charge. They want you to pay online with a credit card.
Stupidest damn thing I've ever heard of.

My ex-wife used to have an afghan over the back of the couch. When she left, so did the afghan. Never done it since.

Do you know how much interest your credit card charges?
I didn't. I don't care your (CARRY A, damn otto) balance, so it doesn't matter how much they charge. But ---
One of my cards did not send me a statement. So I went to their website to verify that I owed them what I thought I did. And I saw that there was a message that I was supposed to read from them.
There's a change in the conditions of my card. Starting in mid July the interest rate on my card will be 39.49%.
40 damn percent interest??!!??!!??!!???
How is that even legal? Don't we have usury laws in this country anymore?
Several years ago I read that the highest interest rate allowed by law on a loan was 25%.
Apparently that is no longer the case.

Daddy was an aviation machinist's mate. He always called the Corsair a hose nose.

This should take 40 back.

If you had - let's say for example - a stockman's knife. A three-bladed pocket knife. Would you consider that one knife? Or three?
Another board, and somebody has a picture of his emergency kit. I asked if he thought he had enough knives, because I counted five. He corrected me saying that he had well over a dozen. There were the two fixed blade sheath knives. The Leatherman had two blades so that's two more knives. The folding knife had three blades so that was three more. And the package of utility knife blades was another eight.
So apparently he was counting blades. When I count a knife I count handles.
