In the very beginning doesn’t check to see if it’s loaded before messing in front of the muzzle, then later points at himself, even though there’s no mag is there one in the chamber? Then he screws on the silencer while it’s loaded. Creeps me out.

Every gun is loaded.  Don't point it at anything you don't want to destroy .

I have a Walther PP my Dad brought back from Germany after WWII.   Not a fan.  I much prefer the Russian designed and made Makarov that was also made in Bulgaria, East Germany and China.  I have examples of all of them except China.  Great pistols for blowback action calibers like (380 ACP (I have a commercial Russian Mak in .380), or 9mm Makarov (9x18).  They are very accurate and very reliable.

Didn't grow Exponentially! I'd like to know what that guy's been smoking!  I know a fucking logarithmic curve when I see one.

Or maybe the TESTING went up logarithimically?    ::)

Duh, Michael.  That is really dumb.

That sucks Stan.  Very disappointing as I am sure it was a VERY nice Navion other than the gear issue.  Do you think when the owner has the gear fixed it could be a viable option for a purchase for you, or are you just soured on the airplane now?  Which is understandable.  How was the owner's demeanor on the entire fiasco?

People that get ill are asked to stay at home and not visit the hospital, unless they develop symptoms that need treatment. Accordingly, the number of confirmed cases is likely much lower than actual cases, aggravating the death rate to ~10%.

Compared to our neighbouring countries, we have a much higher per capita death rate. However, the intent of the soft restrictions is to ensure a soft quarantine can be sustained for years if need be, and to have manoeuvrability to tighten restrictions with sustained support from the public if contagion picks up.

Restrictions are designed to strain, but not overload our healthcare, to reach herd immunity as quickly as possible without excessive sacrifice.

Given life is pretty normal, the public adheres to the restrictions imposed and are very appreciative of the government’s response. Additionally, a soft quarantine ensures the state has ample responses in the event contagion picks up. The risk of tighter restriction also works as a deterrent. Failure to comply with recommendation will result in tighter restriction. Accordingly, people have by and large followed public recommendations. In countries with tighter regulation, AT reasons, a renewed spread would be hard fought, given people are tired of adhering to a strict quarantine


Very good post by that person in Sweden and very telling of what Governments and their power hungry politicians and bureaucrats want.   "Soft quarantine can be sustained for years if need be".

They'll just start manufacturing numbers, and twisting statistics.

Covid19 has become a dream come true to the progressives.  No way will they let this one go, no matter how wrong they are proven.

The reason they can do that is they have 98% of the Media repeating their lies and spewing Democrat propaganda.  I can't believe people believe that crap.

Wrong thread for this, but since it was mentioned:

We just made our own full price offer today on a house, which was put on the market 3 days ago. Offer was accepted less than two hours later. We went with a full price offer because the sellers already had an offer (not yet accepted of course.) Ours was not contingent on the sale of an existing house, but the other offer was. The ask was $345k and best guess was the fair market price was $330k to $340k. The market here is still warm for reasonably priced homes under ~$350k and definitely hot under $300k. (We never had state-wide stay-at-home orders in SD.)

I’m sure the market value will drop in the next 6 months or so, but we’re likely to be there a minimum of 5 years. Has enough acreage for VTOL but probably no STOL aircraft.

Congrats Jim!  I love the Black Hills!  Spent a decent amount of time there when I lived in Colorado.  Took the Tiger up to Custer several times.

n Sunday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, appeared on CNN and declared that the protests against stay-at-home orders that plagued her state capital, as well as numerous others, "depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country," pointing to the regular appearance of swastikas, nooses, Nazi slogans and the American swastika, also known as the Confederate battle flag. (We can safely assume that the usual excuse of "Southern pride" used to defend the Rebel flag doesn't apply in Michigan or Ohio or Illinois, states where thousands of young men fought and died for the Union.)

Conservatives cried foul at Whitmer's words, of course, but there's little point in denying it. We all have eyes and ears, and no one is mistaking the protesters for people who would flinch if they heard a friend casually use the n-word in conversation.

Now, WTF, pull the racism card.  I want to see a tag team mud wrestling match between Whitmer, and that Commie Oprah against Kristi Noem and our own Rush.  I guarantee a win for our side.

(yes I am now mildly obsessed with Kristi Noem.)

and that won't happen.  Too many people can't understand the cost of buying cheap crap.

Many of us are short sighted.  Me included sometimes.  Also Americans demand instant gratification and today even a quarter's stock performance is considered "long term".  Unreal I know.  Trump is the first President in my lifetime that is trying to level the TRADE Playing Field with China and other countries that have been eating our lunch since WWII. 

We have huge leverage over China in our Markets for their goods.  Trump is using them to get better Trade deals.  What do the Democrats and their idiot Progressive followers say?   Orange Man Bad.

China is in economic decline.  The communist government there will do anything to halt the decline and put them back on the road to global dominance.

 But many in our government say China is no threat, and we are being unfair to them.

I think many Democrats are controlled by China and/or Soros.  It is clear who they side with all the time.
