I'll piggyback on this thread. Thoughts on McCandlass/Bellevue/points around there? I live in Ross, so I'm not far from either. I looked at some places in Bellevue when I was home shopping years ago. Bellevue struck me as an older and more crowded type of neighborhood, with houses fairly close toge...

Shyster seems to have a specific set of metrics to determine membership in the libertarian club. I wonder where full drug legalization fits into that. The core libertarian belief (and perhaps the only libertarian belief, since everything else logically flows from it) is the Non-Aggression Principle...

I think there would be more elements at play than simply on-ice performance. Crosby is better known and is a more marketable figure (he doesn't speak with a heavy Russian accent, for example). He's a better "brand." Thus, I would keep Sid (and I think management would keep Sid) over Geno even if Gen...

Now, now. There's no need to turn on each other when we're in such a target-rich environment.

This game is a microcosm of the entire season.

More apt words will not found anywhere else in this thread. Start strong, slack off, try to hang on.

This team doesn't deserve the playoffs.

This team doesn't even deserve ice-cream cones that the coaches buy out of pity.

There we are.

Uh oh. There's a difference between Pouilot being benched and Pouilot not being on the bench.

A church should absolutely be able to say no to performing or renting space for a gay wedding without any legal recourse. But do you think Jesus himself would have refused to attend a same-sex wedding, and refused to turn water into wine for the married couple? This is a pretty simple yes-no questi...

Go to Anchor Bar and have some orignal Buffalo Wings.

A close friend's wife grew up (at least in part) in Buffalo. IIRC, she said the locals all think Duff's is better.

but what about 12 hours? An entire week of no taste and being worn down compared to one day. Depends. If it's both barfin' and poopin' then I think I'd take the cold. If it's just 12 hours of riding the porcelain, then I think I'd take that, because that's mostly just an opportunity to catch up on ...

Happy Birthday!

For your birthday present, please enjoy this picture of the best-looking Ferrari of all time: the 308 GT4:

Are there any jurisdictions which issue CCWs that expressly forbid portability? You mean, states that would say "You can't use our permit to carry in another state even if that state says you can"? Not that I'm aware of. Those states tend to deal with that problem by resisting giving any permits to...

So someone with a Pennsylvania CCW permit can now carry in Ohio during temporary visits. The visitor must comply with Ohio law while carrying in the state. Any idea what they consider temporary? I'll be in Cleveland for a weekend soon. Unfortunately, the law doesn't define exactly what temporary me...

On my way home, there are three stoplights between me and the Parkway North. They aren't linked together. I call hitting a green light for all three a hat trick. It happens maybe once a month.

Very interesting. Group Two, Possibility 5 has been the subject of at least two science-fiction books I've read in recent years.

FYI to CCW holders: last fall Ohio passed an amendment to the state's CCW statutes. One of the changes is that people who bear a valid CCW permit from their own state can "temporarily" carry in Ohio. This applies regardless of whether Ohio has entered into a formal reciprocity agreement with the oth...

That's interesting. Also I wouldn't have expected 9 to be so low or anyone to be using GAP. :lol: I think there's a mild trend recently with various agencies (local and state) switching from 40 to 9, but not sure if SIG is getting caught up in that (I still like the .40). I've also heard of LEOs sw...

RIP Sarah Brady.

Mrs. Garlic probably needs to readjust her expectations if she wants to own something that close to town n a good neighborhood in a reasonable price I'm inclined to agree. Pittsburgh doesn't have a lot of good neighborhoods that offer "no whiff of suburbia" and low housing prices. Pittsburgh had ma...

It's a very complex issue when you live in the societal construct we live in. I agree, 100%. The inflationary monetary regime created by the Federal Reserve system, which literally robs whatever wealth the poor can accumulate, and allows especially the ultra-rich to enjoy a completely consequence-f...

I have heard this about the SIG and have considered getting a barrel for it to swap in my Glock 27 for the hell of it. Can't... imagine that I would enjoy shooting that too often, but it would be fun for the novelty sake and I've heard it's a extremely accurate round. I don't think I'd consider tha...

Another day, another non-playoff team, another loss.

And how exactly will said threats be determined? https://m.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/04/02/statement-president-executive-order-blocking-property-certain-persons-en For example, since this order applies to" misappropriating ... trade secrets," would that apply to the people engaged in cra...

50 yds, not bad at all. I mean, except for those three 'warning shots' on the left. Still, prolly better than I could manage. Indeed. Very good shooting with iron sights from the standing position. I've also heard recommendations for the 20 over the 12 gauge for home-defense purposes. It has lighte...
