If you want to see the result of over 100 years of the welfare state, visit your nearest reservation.

The point, Wes, is that white folks are better at the "conquest" game than red, brown, black folks.
Look at it this way. You lost at democracy.
It's about to get interesting though. Yellow folks are wanting to have a go.

Lord Genghis was pretty good at it. It's all about the cargo . . . .
Meanwhile, the Biden campaign is putting a coat of paint on a burning house.
I may take another whack at this M1 barrel. I'm wagering that there's more copper fouling than a little bit. Meanwhile, the sling is nice-n-oily.

Serious question:
What race do you fantasize on about conquering your tight ass?

Ordered a few empty chamber indicators with flags. It's a good discipline.
And some 30 cal cans, because reasons.

5 Tools Best Bought Secondhand
https://www.hagerty.com/media/maint...36b02f7847a7a8e47a7c3072fb3218f408403458abcc5
1: Box wrenches: they show combination wrenches. I liked old both-ends-box box wrenches, and maybe the tool trucks have those, but the box stores don't any more, not that I have seen lately. I'd like to find a set. Maybe one day. So, kinda disagree. A set of ratcheting wrenches is good for some things, like installing toilet bolts.
2: Ratchets: Agreed, if they're Snap-Ons and someone doesn't know what they have. Otherwise, fuck it, buy new ones. They're not that expensive. See #1 on ratchet wrenches.
3: Hacksaws: Not just no, but Oh Hell No! With the advent of battery reciprocating (Sawzalls) saws and multi-tools, who the Hell needs to bust a knuckle dicking around with one of those pieces of shit? I own a couple, and when they die, they're dead and gone.
4: Clamps: Absolutely!!! Clamps are great. If you can find large clamps with a long reach, go for it. Pipe clamps are great even if you only get the heads, because you can buy different length pipes. I would throw channel locks into this mix also especially if any welding is in your future.
5: Punches: again, yes. I find them to have feet and get lost and to hide under things and reappear when you're not looking for them any more. Kind of like screwdrivers, it always helps to have for, so a good used set for cheap is a good buy, too.

Good hauls!!!
One of my best buys was a guy had a Milwaukee circular saw, the old drop-table type from circa 1990, for $50. He had a table at a rotating flea market, so I went to see him. It all looked great, so I gave him $50, or I tried to. He refused to take more than $45, so I got a fiver and the saw for my fifty and brought it home. Cleaned it a bit and discovered that it had probably spent most of its life sitting on a shelf somewhere. It sure wasn't in any carpenter's truck box banging around.

Almost as sneaky as slipping carbon into water:
https://historyfacts.com/us-history/article/why-do-some-coins-have-ridged-edges/
You’ve probably noticed that of the four coins that are in wide circulation in the United States today, two, the dime and the quarter, have a series of ridges on the edge. According to the U.S. Mint, this is technically referred to as a reeded edge. But is the reeded edge purely decorative, or does it serve a purpose? The answer goes all the way back to the 17th century, before the U.S. was even founded.
When the U.S. Mint opened in Philadelphia in 1793, the coins it produced were made of copper, silver, and gold, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1792. Because coins of this era were made of precious metal, they were vulnerable to a practice known as clipping, which involved cutting off a small portion around the circumference of the coins. A skilled clipper would shave off enough from the coins to eventually amass a quantity of scrap metal worth cashing in, while also ensuring that the coins weren’t conspicuously reduced in size or weight, allowing the altered coins to still be spent.
Clipping had been common in 17th-century Europe, and it was so prevalent in England that by the end of that century, almost half of the silver content was absent from circulating English coins. This resulted in the metal composition of the coins being lower than their face value, a discrepancy that threatened to create a financial crisis throughout the continent, as well as in the European colonies. In order to combat the practice, England began minting coins with ridged edges; a smooth edge on any part of a coin would then be a telltale sign of clipping. When the United States was founded as an independent nation, the U.S. Mint followed suit by designing its higher denomination coins with reeded edges right from the beginning.
It took the US mint awhile to add reeds to the half dollars, but they did have their denomination struck on the edges, which was interestion.
Then there is the tale of the 1883 V nickel without the word "cents" on it.

Oh look, more Christie threads-n-comments.
I shot a goat once. He was seriously ill and it was cheaper than calling the vet and making the goat wait, but even then, he had more worthwhile characteristics than most of the PB posters.
