  1. So after feeling great about being able to carry in parks reality hit. The park closest to my house buts up against a elementary school that actually uses the playground as their playground. Then Overton Park has Memphis College of Art in it.

    Guess at least I'm mostly legal now and since I always conceal shouldn't be a problem.

     

    *fingers crossed*

     

    obfuscate
    verb ob·fus·cate \ˈäb-fə-ˌskāt; äb-ˈfəs-ˌkāt, əb-\

    : to make (something) more difficult to understand

  2. why would you want to carry into a kroger? 
    Exhibit 1 from last nite in Memphis at Poplar/Highland.

    Direct Link to just the video
     
    Would this be a justified shoot to fire at the ones kicking him in the head?

  3. I don't post here much. Just a professional lurker.

     

    We had a little 15lb mutt for 17years while I was growing up. He moved everywhere with us, Utah, Mississippi, England, Kansas, then back to Mississippi. After he passed(my dad cried) he said no more dogs for us. So bout 8 years ago a friend of his was having to give up their little black lab. Dad decided it was time for a dog again and he got Alex.

     

    The next year a skinny skittish rottweiler with no collar started hanging around my parents house. After a week or so my dad felt sorry and decided to start feeding her. She would not approach the bowl until he went inside and any sudden moves or noises and she was gone into the woods. This went on for a few weeks and she would actually eat with him standing there and he was able to pet her so he figured it was his dog now my niece named her Precious  and moved her into the fenced back yard with Alex. It was a good year plus before anyone other than my Dad could pet her.  Well during all this she had gotten pregnant and when she finally had the puppies it was the middle of a cold November night and when Dad found them in the morning only one puppy was still alive. My Mom started bottle feeding her and named her Miracle.

     

    This is how my parents who swore off dogs in 1994 ended up with 3 BIG dogs in about 6 months in 2006.

     

    My Mom died of cancer in 2009 and within a few weeks the mother dog Precious started getting into vicious fights with the daughter dog Miracle. Precious just passed last year with some sort of cancer. So now my 8yo Miracle is the last link to that skinny rescue from all those years go and to my Mom.

     

    tl;dr   dad kept a stray and I now have her only child.

  4. Think about small towns and Wal-Mart or similar stores.  Don't go to the big city stores.  Places out of the way.  The big city stores are covered up with people wanting to buy and resell.

     

    I'm from small town Mississippi and was there this weekend. Checked two walmarts and got laughed at when I asked about 22 :)

  5. Found out over Christmas that my dads neighbor runs a very small gun/hunting shop in small town Mississippi. Was talking to him bout 22 and his distributor offered him 50 bricks of 500 for $50 which he was turning around and selling for $60. He thought no way anyone would pay that much so only ordered 10 boxes. He sold them in a day.

    It was christmas and a friend of my dads so I didnt press him on more info.

  6. Oh dude, don't be ridiculous!

    Who would buy outdated TIE fighters since the Mandalorians tooled up Mandalmotors and started producing the Kom'rk class fighter.
    I'd rather have an old Basilisk war droid as a stupid TIE. Ion propulsion sucks.

     

    I was always partial to the Tie Defender....

  7. I don't post much but I just found this and was going to share it. I'm a child of the cold war. My dad spent 21 years in the air force and I remember when we were in europe and we'd read pravda(Back then the mouthpiece of the govt) and wondered wtf they were smoking with their writing.

     

    I cannot believe I am actually proud of them for writing this article.

  8. There is also this.

    Given the facility’s scale and the fact that a terabyte of data can now be stored on a flash drive the size of a man’s pinky, the potential amount of information that could be housed in Bluffdale is truly staggering. But so is the exponential growth in the amount of intelligence data being produced every day by the eavesdropping sensors of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. As a result of this “expanding array of theater airborne and other sensor networks,†as a 2007 Department of Defense report puts it, the Pentagon is attempting to expand its worldwide communications network, known as the Global Information Grid, to handle yottabytes (1024 bytes) of data. (A yottabyte is a septillion bytes—so large that no one has yet coined a term for the next higher magnitude.)

    It needs that capacity because, according to a recent report by Cisco, global Internet traffic will quadruple from 2010 to 2015, reaching 966 exabytes per year. (A million exabytes equal a yottabyte.) In terms of scale, Eric Schmidt, Google’s former CEO, once estimated that the total of all human knowledge created from the dawn of man to 2003 totaled 5 exabytes. And the data flow shows no sign of slowing. In 2011 more than 2 billion of the world’s 6.9 billion people were connected to the Internet. By 2015, market research firm IDC estimates, there will be 2.7 billion users. Thus, the NSA’s need for a 1-million-square-foot data storehouse. Should the agency ever fill the Utah center with a yottabyte of information, it would be equal to about 500 quintillion (500,000,000,000,000,000,000) pages of text.

    Sadly I think we are already past the point of no return.

  9. Huge comic fan here. When they gave him his own book back in the 80s it was awesome. Its like Deathwish or Dirty Harry on steroids. A dude who takes out badguys and then uses their money to buy all kinds of cool weaponry? Whats not to like? :yum:

    I had to give up my comic addiction in the 90s tho. $150 a week was too much.

  10. Theres a place over off of Covington Pike, I did a transfer through them and they are apparently newer shop building AR's. Talked to them a bit while filing out my paperwork and bought up the subject of getting them to look at an old Mak90 as well and for them to just look it over to make sure it was shootable and they seemed like nice guys.

  11. I'm still flabberghasted that there's a forum for Tacoma owners!

    There's a couple of Taco owner sites!

    Toyota Tacoma Forums - Tacoma World

    Home (custom tacos)

    Tacoma Forum - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

    Before I bought mine I did A LOT of research on all the truck forums.

    TACO OWNERS UNITE!

    BTW I dunno what happened in that thread but if its not your forum and you get a warning you stop whatever it is you were doing. Just 'teh interwebs' etiquette.
