I saw it in the theater a couple of years ago. It was fantastic…again.

Be sure to enrobe them in chocolate before wrapping them.
Pretty sure they’d catch fire or explode.

As was originally mandated, ALL fossil fuel vehicles were to be outlawed eventually, in favor of electric vehicles. But the electric power grid could never have been able to sustain such a situation. On top of that, look what happened during a cold winter, IIRC in Chicago, when the cold caused the batteries to lose significant amounts of power! Fortunately, the mandate has been recindend.
One other thing... Humanity is NOT responsible for global warming (which IS happening, BTW). No, it has been determined by some noted scientists that it is the sun that is causing it, and they have proof going back 400,000 years. The next ice age is about 1000 years off, so I am not going to worry about it.
True! That and undersea volcanoes.

I took a couple of photos with my iPhone and my cheap $50 Chinese spotting scope.
Here the eclipse was not “total” but it was still very pretty.
I was disappointed in my phone telescope mount and this #%$&ing iPhone 13 Pro Max. I had an iPhone XS Max and I could take decent night shots of the moon with it. This phone just plain sucks for that. No matter how nicely full used the scope is the phone just can’t pick up the detail, even with supposed astrophotography apps.
I tried my telescope and my Celestron spotting scope with the phone and they were a no-go. The crappy little spotting scope and the iPhone worked okay together.
The hero of the morning. the phone enhanced the light.
Here’s a nice shot as the eclipse was beginning to end.

They can if you do not prevent it.
My email reader does not load remote content for those senders not approved for remote content. This is to prevent letting sites know I read the email. I also have return receipts turned off for all senders.
But as to remote content in an email, many times the remote graphic has a web address specific to the email. It can be as blatant as https://www.somesite.com/remote-content-for-Pat-Riot but is more likely to look something like https://www.somesite.com/22309ru2309dw8wf949894jr49r8j4w94jrw944rjw94jr94rj49jrw49rj94jr94jrw9r. Key point is that graphic call is specific to your email.
The same sort of trick works when you decide to click on a link, the link may carry (in the name) something to exactly match the mail to you.
My email is locked down good.
I did discover that all the securities I activated on Yahoo were deactivated with a new iOS update a couple of months ago about a week after the update.
I had forgotten sites like Yahoo will do that with updates and upgrades. -

UPDATE: Well I disassembled the magazines and sure enough the spring tension was non existent on one and the other it wasn’t 2 turns, if that, so I wound the spring tension on both of them up and put them back together and they feed flawlessly. Mrs. Lose had to leave on an errand so I fired off both magazines in the back yard with no issues. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions.

One of the reasons I bought the tool I did was because when I tried tensioning the spring and then reassembling on several 10/22 mags I had my front garage door open. The neighbors and passers-by on that first sunny day in months got to hear lots of colorful language. I was pretty angry with that “creative” design as I tried reassembling those mags.

Well would you look at that. A California Prop 65 warning pressed into the top of the bread loaf.

My friend did this fix on my Ruger magazine in about 5 minutes. Oddly enough I have another 25 rounder, a PRO MAG and it works fine.Never had a problem with that one.
Pro Mags make excellent targets when they malfunction.

Just curious, why would you open something like that? You’ve just validated their contact info for you and show a preference for gun-related spam, which will be shared across the internet.
They cannot tell it was opened.

It’s “Do as I say and do as I do and don’t make me angry or I will become everything that I am against!” with these people.

Cool, thanks. You’d think with this being a special edition rifle that Rugers quality control would be a little bit better, I guess not.
I think they just grab mags out of a bin and put them in the rifle box.
The sad thing is Ruger has known about their magazine issues for a few years, yet they still let a few out that aren’t timed right with the spiral springs.
I think they have one lazy sonofa…in their magazine assembly area that just keeps on doing crappy work.-

@Yul Lose a few years ago I bought a 10/22 rebuild tool for setting the spring up to factory spec. It works.
I bought several mags for my grandson and they had issues.
All I did was use my till to properly set the springs and they have worked great ever since-

Here was the listing in my email list:
I thought “What an odd name for an ammo sales business.

I have the same question about the Nigerian Prince scam, the Car Warranty scam, the We want to buy your house, Social Security Benefits, IRS is going to arrest you, and all the other things I get in my email, on the phone, etc.
To me they're SO obvious that it baffles me that anybody could possibly STILL be falling for these things, but if they weren't, they'd go away.

I have personally met or have talked with people that own guns that were used by the Dalton gang. Currently that number is a dozen. Currently, the number I believe is Zero.
I am not saying the claims of this guy with the Jesse James items is incorrect, but I have doubt.

Supposed to be clear in NE Ohio. Now just gotta set the alarm to see it.
It’s supposed to be clear here in WV as well. I am going to try and set up my spotting scope with my phone to get photos.

It’s my opinion that a curved trigger steers or captures your finger during the pull. The flat trigger allows your finger to track naturally on the trigger face as one pulls the trigger, especially when the trigger pull is not straight back, like with Glocks and their clones.
