I live near the Blaisdell and I used to hear one at like 4 am doing his thing. yeah, "fukcing irras" for sure!

Everything is propaganda."Trust but verify" (hopefully independently)
Even the truth?
Especially the truth.
This is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment -- government censorship of individual speech.Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I have always been interested in WWII (history, events leading up, etc). Been watching the "in color" shows of the events recently.
That's the nature of freedom. People are at liberty to post lies (the government does it all the time), and everyone else is free to believe the lies or not. Most of us ignore them.
I'd ask those in the legislature one question: when the Democrat Party under the leadership of Hillary Clinton's campaign created the Russia Collusion hoax, and the FBI illegally obtained FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, and when their lawyer lied about Carter Page being a CIA asset, and then continued their hoax for years to disrupt the Trump administration, is that the level of scrutiny we can expect from this Hawaii government based censorship board?
Has anyone bothered to apologize to the American people for silencing the people who refused to believe the lies and misinformation coming out of the White House and DOJ?
If government can't get the big things right, how can we trust them to get the little ones right?
biden's response to this tragedy irritated me. Not one pip about investigating and holding those responsible accountable and thereby responsible for it's re-build. Not one pip about prioritizing the insurance process.All talk. . . definition of propaganda, at least from what you described above. . .
But quick to state about the Federal Government will do whatever it takes to get the bridge up and running. Translation: Federal money. Tax money. Our money.
By the way, it's an election year........
Time and time again, biden has shown (me at least) why it seems like he's not in charge of the nation. Just an old man figurehead that needs to be clarified every now and then when he talks crazy. I don't see him as our leader. More like a talking head for the man, men, woman, wife, or diversity monstrosity that is behind the proverbial political curtain.
His handlers need to "walk back" his statements time and time again.
Yes, I believe the Federal Government needs to be involved in the re-build. But his cavalier attitude toward Federal Funds shows the lights are out and nobody's home up there.
This happened to me as the tray is very snug for my Holosun. So when I popped it out, IDK which way the batter was because it flipped like a coin.You have a 50/50 chance of being ok, or test yourself as if the dot went down. Flip the battery before every course of fire.
Another possibility is upside down battery.Someone asked him that.
You know what I liked about Tyson?He was scary quick and power (or so it appeared) in his hands. Style of fighting 'inside phone booth' and combo of body/head hooks, plus that upper cut. Yeah, bigger guys could probably take punches, but most couldn't move like Tyson did. I used to watch his mitts sessions with that old trainer. His punches were a blur!
He wasn't that big for a heavyweight. Chiseled, but not big. What was he, 5'11 or so?
But that anger. And determination.
And his ability to channel and focus all that anger.
I wonder if they got that phrase "Eye of the Tiger" by watching his face when he fights.
Not sure reloads have anything to do with red dots.There’s also quality in batteries. And prob how long said battery was on the shelf.
I've never had a RD stop working. I make sure to turn them off when in the safe, and I replace the batteries once a year. For the AimPoint PRO, it was a 2-year schedule.
In the grand scheme of things, batteries are a cheap, expendable item. If you're waiting until it stops working it so you can save a dollar, you're setting yourself up for a visit from Mr. Murphy.
My RDS went down multiple times on my AR. Which was good becuase I got to practice flipping up the back ups to finish the exercise. I kind of want things like this to happen, so I can get unpredicted reps in real time. Which is why I'm not a fan of 1R1. When I practice reloads, I put random amount of rounds into the mag, this way I'm not counting.Separate topic, but you can setup double feeds as well. In a SB a LONNNGGG time ago, your partner has to setup your mags. General intent was 2 randomly spaced casings inserted to simulate double feed to occur randomly in a COF. My partner happened to put like 4-5 in one mag. . . ended up being during the portion of the COF where I was at the bottom of the VTAC. . . evil. . . I could hear them laughing. . .
Tulsi's daddy switched from republican to democrat. Tulsi switched from democrat to independent with conservative values.:rolleyes: on Saiki. . . that guy is the "I know what's best for everyone. . " mindset. Grown too big for a "Gov't for/by the people". . . sound familiar?
Scott Saiki said there are two kinds of people who do that. Basically one switches because they no longer support the party's foresight and values. The other one switches out of convenience.
Happens all the time but all of us individually need to decide for ourselves what is their motivation that made them decide to genuinely switch.
still has not been scheduled for a hearingbetter check at 3:59 pm, or close to whatever the deadline is. . .
have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to see if it does...
Back in the day we used to design all our own courses of fire.There are groups that already do that, or used to. Not a match though. Sometimes happens inadvertently, like when an optic or battery goes down, but that's a good topic for a separate thread. . .
This thread makes me think it might be fun to design an action pistol stage where you intentionally obscure your sights.
It would be a simulation of catastrophic failure of electronic and/or iron sights.
It does happen.
In fact, you could design a whole match centered around gun failures.
TWSSIf it works, it works. . .
Funny how you people work on the forums. Go look up so and so. OK. I did and read it. Posted parts of articles for you to read and you didn't read it. I searched for "TLDR" to understand what it meant. In my opinion, it should stand for TFLTR.
I've read and watched Zins opinions on handgun shooting with a dot. Don't work for me. I've also listened to Gunny Roxburgh for rifle shooting and his points don't work for me either. I shot better on both pistols with red dots (bullseye) and rifle with a 4x dot by focusing on the dot. Tighter groups overall. In the end, you can drop names all you want but its just you and the target. The only consistent advice is the mental aspect and environmental considerations from most shooters I've shot with and received coaching from. Some mechanical aspects work for me some don't. Every person is not built the same. Lanny Basham's book "With Winning in Mind" I've read more over than the USAMU guide.
How far are those targets?Close. . . not where atmospherics, wind, spin drift, etc matter. . .

I read Winning in the Wind and others for FClass and long range & precision rifle. Copy all on mental aspect and others. Agree.
