It’s strange. Especially with that online bank Chime recently locking down access to bank accounts too.

I hope the U.S. military and government become more proficient at defending our country from cyber attack.
So far, I haven’t seen any sign of that. Both the government and private industry are likely way behind the power curve.
I think the only reason that China hasn’t shut us down is that financially they still need us. Russia is just playing right now.
If there is any serious dust up it will be lights out! -
So they are saying maybe open by July.

Definitely emotion and adrenaline overcame common sense.
Normally slapping and pushing a bear does end well!

I have the HL-5 X also but I have not experienced the the battery problem. It mostly sits charged up. Every once in a while I click it on and it lights up light like the sun.
I keep the streamlight 18650 in a cheap Chinese eBay light and no issues with that one either. It gets used a little more often but it doesn’t seem to have any issues maintaining a charge.
I have an old surefire G2 with a Malkoff led in it and another streamlight 18650 use it fairly often and it maintains a charge too.
I wonder if you have a couple bad 18650s?

I see a lot of small guns that people have but they tend to have problems. It's true that the smaller you go the more trouble that you have with semi-autos. I have heard , read , and studied about these and along some years found the right gun for the caliber that runs reliably for it's small size. The Ruger LCP in 380. It's small and fits in the front pocket of many shorts and pants. I have carried mine for the last 2 years and every 6 months I will fire it with all the lint it collected and dust. It runs great. The Glock 43 in 9mm. I have had 2 and they both ran like a well oiled sewing machine. Sold one but then realized that I made a mistake. It's so good I got another one. Simple 9mm and with very few parts. The Springfield Armory XDS 45. I got this one used and ran it dirty , and clean . It runs and runs . To me it's the smallest 45ACP you can get that is reliable. It has a grip-safety that I don't like but it is very easy to engage even with a loose grip. The S&W M&P Shield in .40S&W . What better to run a .40S&W caliber than in it's own creator's gun. It runs and works great. The Shield , G43 , and XDS45 are all the same size in thickness , length and width plus or minus a few thousands of an inch. These guns run great and have had scratches and scuffs , had dust and saw dust in them while I was cutting wood , mowing grass , and whatever else. None has failed nor rusted. In case you want a small pocket gun that will last , try these 4 . I thought this may help some people with their decisions. have a good day !
I like your choices. I have been happy with the LCP, I have the older model.
My other favorite is a 60s vintage S&W model 37. If it isn’t reliable I don’t keep it.
I forgot to mention the Bersa .380 that was a good one too.-

Went to Franklin Gun Shop today and purchased 10 rounds of CCI 38/357 Snake Shot with # 4 shot. It cost 19.99 which I thought a little high but livable. Went on line and what I found, was 10 rounds of the same, but was 79.00 + shipping. Too rich for my blood.
I like to keep some around. I noticed in the very beginning of the ammo hoarding that the shotshells disappeared fast, almost like people were preparing for a rodent or snake apocalypse. The components to reload them quickly went out of stock. Like Garuda said they used to sell for about $10.

If this isn't an elaborate hoax, it would appear the crack has been noticeable since before the last inspection.

I tried eating gar last year and now it's the main fish I try to catch. The skin is hard as plastic and you need tin-snips to cut it open. After you get it open there are 2 long boneless loins on each side of the back. No need to gut it or skin it. The meat is odorless and firm like chicken. It's like alligator and I love it !!! This Gar was 3 feet long and both loins were around 15 inches long and nice and thick.
To be honest I didn’t know you could eat them, But I never had alligator either. I used to see monster gar when I was a kid down south.

So yesterday I drove out to San Antonio and went through Memphis before lunch. I took the detour over I-55 or whatever it was south of the bridge that is out of service. Not too much delay for me. Can't say the same for the people headed into Memphis from Arkansas. That traffic looked backed up all the way back to I-40 practically.
Good to know! I haven’t made that trip west in a long time. I wondered how bad the back up was. I hope to head that way this year.

These guys occasionally get in some decent priced 9 mm and other stuff. I say decent for the current market we are in. Today they had wolf 9mm for $17 a box. I know that’s not like the pre-hoarding prices but still not bad for plinking stuff now. And yes they often limit quantity to two boxes, sometimes more depending on caliber.

I ain’t volunteering to drive over first!
But hey, I saw them interview an “expert” today, they said this kind of damage wouldn’t cause a bridge collapse.

So glad you like it, dogs, we have 4 and all of them know just what that sound means. The price is well worth the disadvantages. Ours has been in constant use for 2 years, batters still good, now that I have said that they will go weak in a few days. Congrats on the peace of mind.
The dogs learn fast! My dog learned the sound of ring camera alerts real fast! It’s surprising to me how may words they learn too!

Sorry I missed that deal too!

I don’t know. To me that looks like the the edge of the plate that is riveted. It’s not a real clear photo.

I don’t think this was cost effective at all!

Arkansas RDOT, just did a live update about the bridge. Basically the contract inspector thought the crack in the bridge was so bad he immediately dialed 911 to shut down the traffic. Supposed to release drone photos of the damage soon.

OH CRAP! I just reread the article and realized that they closed river traffic as well.
I can't even imagine how much cargo runs up and down that river every day. Not good! Not good at all!
Yah, real bad!

Local news can't seem to get it straight. There's a crack which is bad enough to close the bridge, but local TV seems to think it'll be repaired in just a day or two. Really? I kinda have my doubts about that.
The news also reported that 100,000 vehicles cross that bridge every day. The I-55 bridge, which normally sees half that, will now have to take the full load. Downtown Memphis is a mess. Traffic is barely moving.
For those who don't know, Memphis and all the Mississippi river bridges have been on our enemy's primary target lists since the early cold war days. Drop those bridges and you effectively cut this country in half.
The Major just released a statement that repairs would take months, not days. I think that is more likely.

Lay’s Wavy Jerk Chicken chips
in General Chat
Posted
I will give them a try. Mostly eating tortilla chips and salsa forever. We recently started buying the variety packs of chips for snacks while camping.
The wise brand chips are the worst. But the Clancy’s aldi brand has some great flavors.
