    Bitcoin

    For those investing 'real money' in Bitcoin, you owe it to yourself to 'steel man' alternative arguments. On the subject of money, the best thinker I have found is Keith Weiner. He argues that gold (yes gold, the shiny pet rock) is money and that nothing else is money. Here is an example of...

    Sweet. I've heard Croatia is beautiful. Like Switzerland only cheaper. No idea they had brown bears

    Bitcoin

    I believe crypto is going up because people believe it will go up. It's utility is yet to be actualized. That is, there are no things priced in Bitcoin. If commodities ever become priced in Bitcoin, it will no longer skyrocket relative to commodities. If commodities never become priced in...

    I wholeheartedly agree with Bow Fisher on this point

    Bitcoin

    This is a perfect example why Bitcoin will not become currency for everyday transactions until it is user friendly and safe. And, in my opinion, Bitcoin is merely a casino chip unless it will someday be used as currency

    Bitcoin

    I don't think this comment is directed at a real person. That is, I don't think anyone has tried to argue that the US dollar is good, sound or just. Any dollar defenders out there?😂 I 'short' the dollar by owning stocks, precious metals & real estate

    What do you all do to fight the ticks during spring

    I know more and more people hospitalized for 1+ weeks and/or living with red meat allergy due to tick bites. So for me, in KY, permethrin is worth it. It is odorless too.

    Hawkins 25MOA Hybrid Tikka Ring/Mount

    I love mine. The bubble level is useless though. I can't see the bubble and the reticle simultaneously.

    What do you all do to fight the ticks during spring

    I use permethrin spray by Sawyer on boots, socks, pants and shirt. No ticks for 5 weeks (wearing in the woods 2-3 days a week)

    Kentucky, Southern Indiana or SW Ohio roksliders?

    Good to know. I just emailed my state rep Kim King. These were my points: NO to SB3! No state ag department manages wildlife because wildlife management goals are distinct from ag goals and funding comes from hunters and anglers. Hunters have never asked for state funding. We ask for an...

    Kentucky, Southern Indiana or SW Ohio roksliders?

    Legislation impacting wildlife management: Senate Bill 3 introduced by Senator Howell from Murray, KY would place KDFWR under KY department of agriculture. This will have wide ranging, long term implications for hunting and fishing regulation, funding, and most importantly, wildlife...

    Tikka M595 or T3X?

    I'm going to bump this up. Are all parts that interface with the action interchangeable between T3x and T3? (bolt, magazine, stock, trigger, tikka-specific rings that mount directly to the action) And if the T3 takes all the same components as a t3x, are there other tikka models that do the same?

    How do you deal with suicide....

    I went to a suicide prevention seminar once. The organization came up from Louisiana to Evansville, Indiana (can't remember the name of the organization now). They were organizing suicide-response teams in communities wherever they could. If a suicide was reported to 911, dispatch would...

    I agree. The way Jesus put it is "Take up your cross"

    How do you deal with suicide....

    Someone mentioned that suicide leaves a wound that never heals. I agree with that. Grandma is 100 years old. One of her nine children suicided in '93. If you mention her son Rick the pain is still there in her. She has learned to live despite the loss and even to be happy and enjoy life...

    Sheep Hunting Advice for Traditional Archery

    I love it! Beautiful photo, great hunt, thanks for sharing! God willing I draw a sheep tag one day I will bring a rifle if possible, but your story about coming over the ledge next to the sheep is a fantastic one. It takes me back to some of my own memories and lessons with coues deer. Bravo
