Caps are mostly disposable to me, but two have sentimental value and seem worth a try to clean up a bit.
Thanks for the replies!

I have several ball caps that have been worn a lot thru the years. Like anything else, they’ve become dirty, especially the bill, such as the “scrambled eggs” embroidery glued to my VQ-1 squadron cap.
What’s the best way to clean them, as I’m concerned about damaging the cardboard stiffener in the bill? I’ve seen cages you can clamp them in for tossing in the laundry, or would dry cleaning be better?
Thanks in advance for your help.

.308 case measures 2.015”
.30-06 case measures 2.494”
The case in the photo measures really close to 2 1/2”, so I’m going with .30-06. That and the Twin Cities 1953 head stamp.

Been seeing lots of videos on YouTube lately whose title uses something along the lines of; one crazy trick, One illegal action, one forbidden hack, one crazy method, and so on. Then the videos spend 30 minutes to an hour getting to the point.
While the videos are mostly factual they do contain flaws and have all the hallmarks of being the product of an AI bot. All are posted from a handful of channels.
I'm really beginning to hate AI.
I’m also noticing there are more and more with “shocking” in the title and arrows on the image. Many times the image is totally bogus. I avoid all of these like the plague.
Unfortunately, content on YouTube is becoming more like clickbait.

I would think that it would be difficult to get his card out of his wallet with one hand. Especially while running.
Black Friday shoppers are proficient at this maneuver.

You don't understand it?
If you are a Ford guy, and I am looking at the new Chevy trucks, you are probably going to tell me that it's a piece of garbage.
You don't know anything about the new Chevy truck, except that it is a Chevy and therefore not a Ford so it must be garbage.
This is the way people are. This is the way people have always been.
You ride a sorrel??? What kind of idiot rides a sorrel? Smart people ride line-back duns.
You use a rapier??? You need to get a bastard sword, like I have.
You still use a longbow?? I can't believe anybody, in this day and age, still uses a longbow. Get with the program, man! Get a crossbow. Longbows are junk!!
Reminds me of this scene.

I have to admit that the only reason I consider upgrading my iPhone is for the improvements in the camera. The iPhone 13 I have takes better, higher resolution images than the Nikon SLR I bought several years back. And the video quality is better than the brick I used to carry for such things. I can carry it in my pocket instead of slung around my neck. I take a lot of photos, so the convenience is attractive to me.

The conundrum for me is there are people making gobs of money off the efforts of the players. Once that happens, I don’t have a problem with them receiving some kind of compensation if they can get it. That the money grubbing has trickled down to high school sports is an indictment of our society’s misplaced priorities. It wouldn’t surprise me if the sports betting industry has a category for high school games. Money corrupts everything.
As for college, the main objection I have to NIL is the transfer portal. My thinking is it should be more like pro sports where the player signs a contract for 4 years to play for a particular school. One of the reasons I don’t follow Division I sports is the players don’t stick around long enough to watch them or a team develop. Imagine watching your favorite TV show, but the cast changes every season.

Guns are like shoes. Either they fit, or they don’t.
I don’t understand Glock haters, 1911 haters et al. If you don’t like a gun, don’t buy it. Just don’t tell me that the one I bought is a piece of crap.

They were short two NAs.
Supposed to be 16 with a pause after 8 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -- Batman.
But if you count the NAs in that meme, you come up with
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, 1 2 3 4 5 6 breath test.
When your fall (geezuz otto, WASN'T YOUR FAULT) you had trouble. Bad meme designer.
Quite possibly designed by otto - he does like to take words out of what's written. Sometimes he replaces them with the wrong words, and other times he just leaves them missing.
Ummm yeah, now my head hurts. 😁

I don’t, but have bought some from some who do, strictly for CAS. It’s useless for anything beyond 10 yards as most of the pellets are anything but round. From what they’ve told me, it’s near impossible to get a uniform shape. None of these folks did it for long as it’s a lot of work for not much savings or profit and is of limited use.

Saw that video a few weeks ago. By today’s standards it’s a difficult car to drive, yet back then, millions who had never seen a car before learned to drive one.

Our grandson plays HS football in Tulsa, OK, where standout players can be recruited by and transfer to schools based on their athletic ability.

To answer your question, about once every year. You seem to be wanting to know how long one of the old phones will still work. That mostly depends on if the network has had any major changes that would not allow phones to work on it. As an example, I had an iPhone 4 that I got new whenever it came out (I think around 2012) I used it until 2/22/22 when Apple switched to the new 5G network. The iPhone 4 was not compatible with the 5G network, so Apple changed out my iPhone 4 for an iPhone 10 at no charge to me (they were supposed to give me an iPhone 8 but had run out) I'm still using the iPhone 10 even though the new model iPhone is the 17. I expect that my iPhone 10 will continue working until Apple upgrades their network to 6G.
Apple doesn’t upgrade the network, the carriers do - Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T etc. They just make phones to run on a network.
-
Simple answer to the original question: they bring out a new model every year.
What Apple does better than the others is they support their phones for a long time, per MMH’s model 7 example. Mine is a 13. Current phone is a 17.

So Alpo, unless I’ve missed something, this thread started with a question about what bullet weight would you use for an all-round 9x19 round? Have we gotten to a consensus on what that is? Seems this thread has devolved into what’s the best self-defense round, which is an altogether different topic.

To the OP. It’s Hollywood, where the girls in horror flicks only go downstairs in their panties to check out the threat. Why would they cover up first in this movie unless it’s to draw attention to the fact they were already nude?
-
We never used anything that large. A small piece of paper wet with spit, folded and compressed carried a lot of sting. That thing could cause serious injury to someone’s face. If I got hit in the face with one of those, the shooter’s face would be subject to injury too. 😉

I was just thinking about calories
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted · Edited by Abilene Slim SASS 81783
Calories are but a portion of the nutritional picture. By themselves, they’re meaningless. Where those calories come from is extremely important. And much of it is a shell game anyway, designed to entertain the public. If you focus on the minutia, you never have deal to with the real problem with your diet.
