That was my entire reason to buy a Broomhandle in a Red Nine. I really thought I'd like it. The cool factor wore off pretty quick for me. The ergonomics of the gun just didn't fit my grip nor did it feel 'good' in my hands. A lot of Ooooh, a Broomhandle from the people around me, heck....those people probably shot more rounds out of it than I did. Sold it for what I had in it. Looking back....wish I still had it, miss it, being a history and firearm buff, but that's the way it goes.

As opposed to just blasting a shot off from the balcony.

Makes sense. I never knew there was 88 keys on a piano!

I'll bite, what is the 88th day significance in the piano world?

Why and How you should delete your data from 23 and Me

I rarely, very rarely, play the "I told you so" card as it often has unintended consequences. -
Six hours? The stuff is so powerful now that it lasts much longer than six hours from what I've read. Personally, I didn't, and still don't, care what people do in their off time....as long as it didn't affect their work in any way. I didn't like working with stoned people or especially drunk people. If I caught an employee smoking pot on the job, I would kick them off the job with a warning-If it happens again, you're gone. It stayed between the employee and myself, it didn't go any higher which would have been the owner of the company. I worked for that company for 40 years until he closed. The last company where I worked for the last three years before retirement, had a ton of stoners working there. I didn't have the authority to do anything about it...so I didn't even try. I was very wary when working around them. This company also had drug testing when it involved Workmans Comp....the owner of the company knew who smoked and who didn't, he would send them to a walk-in clinic to get sewed up and pay for it out of his pocket so WC didn't get involved. There were no incidents that required anything other than stitches while I worked there.

And that, people, is just one reason why I will never take part in voluntarily giving my DNA or the like to any entity. -
Duke's is good, I have a small (probably outdated) jar in the fridge....just prefer MW on most things. I only have a hot dog about once a month, if that, anyway.

Grilled bun only, my guess. The split dog would hold the chili better...unless I was the one slopping the chili on....then you're gonna get the chili on you regardless! -

Marijuana stays in your system for 28 days (mol). Almost all of the bad, addictive and most destructive illegal narcotic type drugs stay at detectable levels for 1 to 5 days. IMO, the entire "drug testing" thing is nothing more than terms set up by insurers (workmans comp., private/corporate insurers, etc.) to get out of providing coverage for any claims. It's all about the money, has nothing to do with safety or anything else. The employers save a few bucks on providing employee coverage and the insurer save money when the insured tests positive and they can deny coverage.

I dislike the gloss spray paint on my dogs. The matte or semi-gloss tastes much better. Put some Miracle Whip and cheese on it, like most people... and I bet it'll still taste like Rustoleum or Krylon.

Lift gas edit Hindenburg was originally designed for helium, heavier than hydrogen but nonflammable. In the 1920s the United States possessed a monopoly on the production of helium, obtained as a byproduct of natural gas production. The U.S. Congress banned its export under the Helium Act of 1925 in an effort to conserve helium for use in U.S. Navy airships. Eckener expected this ban to be lifted, but to save helium the design was modified to have double gas cells (an inner hydrogen cell protected by an outer helium cell).[1] The ban remained however, so the engineers used only hydrogen despite its extreme flammability.[2] It held 200,000 cubic metres (7,062,000 cu ft) of gas in 16 bags or cells with a useful lift of approximately 232 t (511,000 lb). This provided a margin above the 215 t (474,000 lb) average gross weight of the ship with fuel, equipment, 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) of mail and cargo, about 90 passengers and crew and their luggage. The Germans had extensive experience with hydrogen as a lifting gas. Accidental hydrogen fires had never occurred on civilian Zeppelins, so the switch from helium to hydrogen did not cause much concern. Hydrogen also increased lift by about 8%. After the Hindenburg disaster Eckener vowed to never use hydrogen again in a passenger airship. He planned to use helium for the second ship and went to Washington, D.C., to personally lobby President Roosevelt, who promised to supply the helium only for peaceful purposes. After Germany annexed Austria in March 1938, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes refused to supply the gas, and the Graf Zeppelin II was also filled with hydrogen.[citation needed]

About the same here although the 30's are extremely rare. In the ten or twelve instances that it happened over the years, the temps were 42 and lower, with completely different ammo batches.

Agree, Bullseye is a great powder and does go a long way. Disagree on not being temp or position sensitive. I too have loaded thousands, many thousands, of rounds of .38 spl (and many other calibers) with Bullseye. My experience with light loads (under 3.0 grains) in .38 spl, when used in cold weather, is that the first round out of a holstered revolver can sometimes perform almost like a squib round....the bullet comes out of the 4 5/8" barrel...barely. It ONLY happened in cold weather and only with the first round out of each revolver, never at any other time. After multiple occasions where this happened, it was enough times that I switched powders for CAS pistol rounds regardless of temperature.
-
Be careful in when using less than 3 grains of Bullseye in cold weather (not likely in TX at this time of year) in holstered revolvers. The first shot out of each pistol can be "interesting". Always have a good crimp also, regardless of the weather.
