    New Director of ATF

    Tried to research but found nothing on historical rights to firearms use and ownership. Appears they got a new constitution about 2011 with ammendments up to 2016, that's all I cared to dig up in 5 minutes. I'm not so sure we'll revamp ours without bloodshed.

    Hearing protection act (suppressors) introduced

    Makes sense. Anybody with a lathe and knee mill could make one too.

    Rokslide Investigators - what happened? What to do next?

    Not sure what sort of protection you get with G&S on this one but F&F is strictly forbidden on the other forum I visit.

    Thoughts on the importance of stretching

    Stretching is somewhat ingrained in me because it took place before every single practice or game in organized sports since junior high school. 31 years later and I still do the same stretching routine that started nearly every single day in Army basic training and AIT. Less mobility and...

    Wood Splitter

    I've been researching hydraulic splitters and have been offered a couple shop built ones but haven't gone to get them yet. In the meantime, I upgraded from a second hand classic style splitting maul to a Fiskars X27. Holy cow that X27 is a joy to use. Not sure I need a hydraulic now.

    Replacing an extra fast action spinning rod. Recommendations?-Happy Update!

    Have been using St. Croix and broke the tip on my favorite Eyecon 63MLXF and of course they don't make an exact replacement as the handle is a bit longer but close enough. I was very impressed with a Daiwa Tatula spinning reel I bought so decided to try their Tatula spinning rod. This has...

    Non Alcoholic After dinner drink

    Excellent work quitting cold turkey! I did the same in May '23. La Croix and other brands of sparkling water helped me with going through actual motions of drinking. I don't really have an after dinner routine but I enjoy an occasional kombucha, and go through a gallon of whole raw milk per...

    Our food

    Walmart has decent food available, you have to choose the right stuff to throw in the cart. The question is why do lard asses usually have shit in the cart? Love the 6 packs of diet sodas straddled over the cart sides so there's more room for chips and pop tarts.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Thanks. I'm ignorant to most of this and only know a little bit about grain contracts. I do know a couple amateurs that got pummeled with margin calls on wheat contracts.

    Couldn't you short sell ?

    Our food

    Super Hot chicken wings at the Vine in Iowa City is about the only thing I care to go out for anymore. Most everything tastes better at home. Plus, this tip culture is really off putting to me. I recall being satiated with small portions of fish in Barbados. Nutrient dense!

    Drones in the news

    Does he feel a 223 with heavy for caliber bullets would work, or will it take a real deer caliber to reliably bring one down?

    Where to start Wildcat Load? 35 SAUM?

    I have a couple boxes of 200 gr TTSX to try in the 35 Sambar, good to know they hammer. My very first loads with CFE223 and 225 Accubonds shot so well I never changed a thing, including charge weight. I have 15 rounds left and those will easily get me through Iowa gun season, then I'll test the...
