    Getting out of California

    Sounds like me!!! : ) Aren’t most people hard to get along with work with? I think I’m smarter than “most”, certainly not everyone, and I make some supper doopers. I can do most anything I want if I’m cleaver and smart about it, which is occasionally. I strive to be a deep, smart, kind...

    Getting out of California

    It’s ALWAYS better to be smart about things. My new favorite phrase is “it depends”. You could pet 9 dogs from 9 junkyards and assume junkyard dogs are mean. Some would extrapolate that ALL dogs are mean. Being able to think rationally and critically is ONLY taught in engineering...

    Getting out of California

    A better example would be, headline: “Game and Fish department statistics show that 75% of poaching incidents on border unit are committed by neighboring state residents Reader: extrapolates that most of the hunters in a small, hick town on the other side of the state border are poachers.

    Getting out of California

    How is generalization poisonous? Do you mean it causes hate? Causes tribalism? Too much of anything can be a bad thing.

    Getting out of California

    I’ll disagree. The nicest people I’ve ever met live in rural areas in the Midwest. There are some nice people in Northern California, I just haven’t met many.

    Getting out of California

    Most Californian’s are moving out, because the housing costs and cost of living is so high. They want to have a nice, new house with nice, new commercial centers that they can afford. They are not moving out of California, because of the liberal policies and they don’t and never ever will see...

    Getting out of California

    Most people are stooopid. What most democrat, suburban Californian’s believe is that the overcrowding, crowded streets, and overpriced homes are because of greedy developers and corrupt city officials. When I was very young, and saw my rural playground get developed and I complained and...

    Careers

    Best is to get a degree from a reputable university for surveying. Electrical Controls Engineer, 4 year degree, they work on control systems for big machines like Pumps, engines, and systems. Surveyors are very intense and anal, and it’s more of a blue collar profession. Do you mind blue...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    No, not exactly. I am a critical thinker, trained and educated in the hard sciences and engineering. Working as a registered, professional civil engineer for over 30 years and having written and presented technical papers, and some hunting stories, throughout the country for 35, I have an...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    I agree with you on those synonyms. Where we disagree if we do, we might have a misunderstanding, is that someone like me, who has educated himself about the drop tests and learned from Form can repeat what he said without parroting what he said. We aren’t really repeating, that’s a poor...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    The drop tests don’t motivate me to perform destructive tests on my expensive equipment, because it’s expensive and I don’t want to wreck it and have to replace it. The drop tests are points on a curve to me and I watch and take notes of the tests and all the other fantastic data on this site...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Everyone that wants a reliable scope needs a drop test. Otherwise you are kidding yourself. On my hunts of a lifetime my equipment is one of my biggest concerns, because if it fails, I will likely not make the kill. And it has happened to me. It’s fine if people choose to use faulty and...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    This is the crux of it all. Also people are very brand loyal. I am a wee bit too. Regarding the Leupold scopes, most every rifle scope was a Leupold. I was hesitant and not buying more. I never had any trouble, I think? LOL. I am not brand loyal anymore. I tell others the good and the...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Random is such an overused and more importantly misused word. I taught my kids to stop doing that. It is a small number of annoyed Roksliders. I believe they are annoyed, like me because they despise others spewing false, and misleading information. We probably couldn’t care less if you...
