There was a period of time about 20 years ago, that if I worked 13 hours overtime in a pay period, I took home less than if I worked 12 hours over time.
I'll never forget the first time that I worked an hour overtime (over 40 hrs) when the teenage restrictions no longer applied and made $1 less than working 40.
That was a long time ago but over the years, it always remained the same...straight time (mol) with the rest taken away was the net pay.

I know exactly how this feels.
I figured out a long time ago that overtime in Florida, and probably everywhere else, meant that you're working for straight time with no deductions as the 1/2 is consumed by taxes, S. Security and Medicare.

Even more so when you see who her father is
Yeah, I know who her father is. That's why I couldn't, and still don't, understand her lackadaisical attitude regarding firearms prior to the shooting and after the shooting. I'm sure that the alleged use of pot, alcohol and cocaine didn't help that attitude either.
She, Baldwin and much of the crew (according to all accounts) have all displayed the "everyone else is to blame but me" mentality. She received the max penalty, by law, for the charges as she should have. Dave Hall, the guy who declared "Cold gun" and handed the gun to Balwin, got 6 months unsupervised probation...basically a slap on the wrist. Evidently, there were many people that contributed to the shooting but as with all things, the buck has to stop somewhere. That somewhere is Reed, Baldwin and Hall.
I fully expect Baldwin will receive the same type slap on the wrist.

Good. She showed nothing but an apathic, why me attitude during the entire episode. Hopefully she'll never be permitted to touch another firearm again for the rest of her life due to being a felon. I hope Baldwin's fate follows the same course of action.

Although there are some excellent selections , I pick one that isn't on the list...Jack Elam.
Picking from the list, I'll go with Slim Pickens as he really was a cowboy and seems like he would have been fun to be around...cut up with...and I would probably survive the fun and cutting up with.

I like it but being in the electrical trade for 40+ years, I can tell you that it has a few flaws with the main one being that the 4 rods/bolts/wood that hold it together will loosen up over time, especially long term exposure to weather, making it unstable. I also don't like the bolted in place seating, different rifles require different seating positions. It would also be next to impossible for one person to move the stand easily.
Whomever made it took their time and did a great job, it just wouldn't be for me.

I still have one of those for when I go camping in a site that has electric. Great for camping, especially breakfast.

The hick in Deliverance couldn't tell the difference between a Beatty and a sow no matter how loud either squealed.

Do you mean the gold bullet or the Colt's SAA becoming grape shot...in all directions?
Colt SAA becoming grapeshot. The golden bullet would probably leave the barrel assuming it was sized properly but the SAA's cylinder will more than likely be a hand grenade.

I remember when they debuted on the Tracy Ulman Show as a skit. I think that they are now the longest running show on tv but I could be wrong. Always liked them and thought the show was funny but don't watch on a regular basis. Then again, I don't watch any tv/show on a regular basis these days. Walking Dead and Yellowstone when they were on non-pay tv but nothing now.

Sorry to tell you but there’s not enough of you Anti-Self serve folks to make the stores change. You’re fighting a losing battle, I believe we’re going to see more and more of them!
I don't know about that. I keep hearing and reading stories about how stores are taking the self serves out and going back to human (some of them anyway) cashiers because of huge losses from theft.
I have gotten where I prefer the self-serve checkouts for speed, I get to bag them the way I want to and I don't have to look at the receipt to make sure I was charged right. I put the bags in my cart and bag the items at my car. Once, I had an argument with one of the employees that stand there with the cell phone in their hand when he told me that I took too many bags. I made it known that I was doing his damn job and since I was doing his job, I'll bag my items any damn way I want to.

Sometimes the people that rent are respectful towards their neighbors. However, there is almost always a problem with vehicle parking and noise at all hours of the day and night.
A sampling of some of the "guests" that have stayed in the one across from me...
- A biker gang of about 15 bikes..,until all their "brothers" showed up which made it about 30 bikes and a few SUV's. The house, and mine, are at the end of a dead end road on a cul de sac. Behind the "party house", as we call it, there is a large lake and canal with several layers of fencing. In front, a 1/4 mile of residential houses on a narrow road. The bikers I'm describing were a nationally known outlaw biker gang and all of them were patched. What better place for their enemies to attack them but in a place where they had absolutely no where to go while the gunfight raged. The bikers themselves were loud and ran up and down the street (straight pipes) all day and night but other than that nothing else occurred.
- At least 15 large "pay to play" parties have happened there. I think that most of them were promoted by people on social media formats. All of them got shut down by the Sheriffs Department eventually. Almost all of these parties involved teenagers looking to get drunk/high and cause trouble. A couple of them had vehicles "bussing" the people in from a nearby place where they were parking their vehicles. One of them actually had over 100 people show up, it took Sheriff officers in 7 cruisers to patrol the area all night to stop people from continuing to go there and they arrested about 20 of the punks.
- Various large parties for bachelor, graduation, spring break, etc, etc. have happened there. Sometime the cops get called, sometimes not. I've personally called the Sheriffs Dept no less than 18 times in the last 2-1/2 years. That doesn't include neighbor's calling. I don't call just to be an a*****e, I only call when things get out of hand or they block the road with their vehicles.
For the most part, they only rent the place for 1 - 3 days/nights. There is no way to know who these people are or if they are criminals. I know for a fact that several of the rentals involved drug distribution, it had to be. I wasn't born yesterday, I've been around the block...I know what to look for.
- Your County or City jurisdiction may put rules in place...good luck getting them to enforce their own rules...they won't. Most of the crap happens at night or on the weekends but even if it doesn't, they won't come out to see nor will they do anything about it. In some locations around here, the Air BnB type places have become such a nuisance that longtime residents have been forced to sell their homes and move out because the local jurisdictions won't do anything about the problems. Most everyone that lives near one of these places wished they didn't...including me, my gal and all my neighbors.
I know it seems like I'm going to extremes to make my point but I feel I have to because once they get in...you're not getting them out. Just giving you fair warning.

People on vacation. The same thing as a timeshare, basically.
People in the military who are TDY. I get transferred to Texas for 3 weeks, and I'm not thrilled with the idea of living in the barracks or even the BOQ. So I rent this house off base. For the 3 weeks that I'll be there.
People in the military with PCS orders. Give them time to find some place to live, without having to stay in a hotel.
There are several reasons for people to rent a house for a month or less.
Sounds good on paper. Try living next to one.

If there is any way of stopping this now...DO IT.
Do it for yourself and your neighbors!
We have one about 200' away from our front door. The a******s treat the place like a party hotel. No matter how good the "intentions" are, truth is that it's a damn hotel, next to YOUR property with no restrictions.
Go to any and all hearing to stop this if you can.

Will a Colt SAA in .45 Colt shoot a 400+ grain gold bullet more than once?
I mean...before it becomes grapeshot.

I knew Penn State didn't quite sound like the right place, but it sounded close. And I was too lazy to look it up. I'm glad somebody did though.
Didn't have to look it up, I remembered the student dead in the street with the bullet hole in his head (who didn't have anything to do with the riot) and the girl kneeling down next to him. I'll never forget the look on her face. His name was Jeff and her name was Mary...I think. And I remember the song.

If I have to pay for parking...they can kiss my...they can forget me ever attending their show.
Bad enough that I have to pay $10 for a "gun shot" that features an average of 50%, or less, firearms. The rest being jerky, overpriced ammo, gun cases, supposedly precious metals, bumper stickers/hats/etc., magazines of every normal kind except for the ones need and...for some reason, miracle eyeglass cleaning solution complete with glasses.
