  1. Hard to tell from photo but smoked and then barbecued Wagyu beef sandwich and some duck fat fries. Powerful fart stimulant.
  2. Saved some assorted pies from the past few, will post as motivation allows
  3. Weird? Animated film that tries to portray the humanness of the main character. I think that only 3 people did all the voices, odd at times because a female character might sound a bit masculine, or a child might sound adult. Includes an animated sex scene. Movie was in some ways cool/interesting, and in other ways just strange and ending without anything feeling quite resolved.
  4. Has a No Country for Old Men feel without the psychopathic killer. Movie just seemed to kind of end, like they ran out of time/room and just ended it, seems like they had a lot to work with in here that they didn't.
  5. Below the tank, piece to the right of the door with the character
  6. That's Gigs and Maos with the crew initials in the middle with a nice Tom & Jerry to tie it together. The tank is cool and reminds me of an older writer Posh who would do these funky tanks and robots or armored dudes or whatever, was hoping @Brickos might see some of him and post it sometime (Vox too please). Of everything you caught there to me the King piece is what's up. You should see plenty of him your way, old school writer who does consistently sharp clean pieces that include a character like 90% of the time. Cool post.
  7. This was well done as a lot of their beers are but... for the price tag you might as well get yourself some Rodenbach. Not my pic, see they paid a few $$ more than I did.
  8. Meh. There were some laughs throughout but feel like the best one was already shown in the trailers. There was a sight gag or 2, nice to see I guess, I miss movies that relied on sight gags and word play for humor.
  9. @misteraven I assumed by your initial description that you were talking about an elite group of guys. I've met some guys like that, can't see someone grounding their mission for an elevated lead level. Still no trust for a govt MD either way. Occurs to me also, kind of funny to be against govt run health care but then you're going to trust the word of a govt MD? Private doctor, more trustworthy. Also @Fist 666 was thinking about the UFB smell the other day, if you could put that into an air freshener or if you sold graf mags that came wrapped in plastic that released that scent when opened... you'd make a lot of $ off the graf crowd. Going back to @misteraven along those lines, if you're still taking suggestions re: a site revamp a good one had occurred to me.
  10. Was pretty cool, can't remember if this was based on a true story. Enjoyed either way, some similarity to the book The Collector except that it doesn't show the guy's POV. You couldn't tell from the trailer but the movie is more focused on the kid and his adjustment during/after. Thought the acting was good.
  11. Checked regularly as part of the job/deployment... would not take the word of a govt MD for anything. Not like they're going to say hey Seal Team 6 is supposed to take out OBL next week but one of them has elevated lead levels, going to have to hold on the mission for 30 days. Let's also remember that our own govt has experimented on its employees and citizens in the past without knowledge or consent so the word of a govt MD doesn't hold much weight for me and I'd suspect you don't trust them 100% either. Did not save sources I looked at earlier but what I saw still described potential dangers from lead even with jacketed rounds. Not going to sweat it too much but going to try to stay on point with basic precautions just like I use a mask/gloves when I paint.
  12. Generally pretty stupid move. Always seemed more of a W Coast thing as I've seen a bunch of the UPs hit like that. There have been one or two known people who have done it, don't know if that was youthful ignorance, not giving a fuck, or maybe catching something that was going to go to scrap or repair.
  13. Had to go to the doctor today. Not a fan, but dude I saw was pretty cool. Anyhow, the lead question came up and he was telling me how he had come from VT, where there are little if any gun laws. He was saying how he had to struggle to convince a guy who was a frequent shooter to lay off the range a bit because the levels of lead in his blood were too high and needed to come down to a safe level. He also said that the neurological issues are generally related more to infant/child development but that it still wasn't good to have eleveated lead levels in the bloodstream. For whatever it's worth, from the mouth of a professional.
  14. @misteraven seems to be the resident 2A expert, what did you find in your readings about how the founding fathers looked at mental illness, retardation, etc. Guessing it didn't matter much then. Someone with those issues would likely be called the village idiot and I imagine they wouldn't be given a firearm unless there was an advancing army, in which case they might be used as cannon fodder, or a predatory animal was attacking. Sure there was a rifle or shotgun on many a mantle that could be easily accessed. Don't think the founding fathers could have foreseen some of the shit that happens these days, not sure repeating arms were invented, certainly not automatic weapons, the gattling gun, etc. (not 100 on that). Either way all I can figure is that the need to defend oneself from local or foreign govt outweighed any possible harm that could come from open access to firearms?
  15. Will separate post to keep some conversation going in here but wondering if anyone has obtained a permit from another state for recprocity reasons. Know someone before who had gotten one from UT because I think it's honored in over half the states (they had to go there to get it though) and I believe you can get a FL one through the mail that is honored in a few places. Doesnt look lke Trump is going to have time to nationalize the permits.
  16. @misteraven I didn't have time to inspect everything there but yes there are some Class 3's there and knowing a little about this guy I would trust that everything there is original. I am firing jacketed rounds but have noticed that at least once each trip to the range my 9 will blow back powder in my face which is a mix of various residues. And there's always a mix of dust on the indoor/outdoor range regardless of ventilation, can't clean that all off and can't see most of it unless sweeping brass, emptying garbage, etc. You might be right about NPR, but that doesn't mean the story is fake news. By the way they present it it appears that the DOD expects that their employess will end up with lead in their blood, which I find believeable. In any event, I'm not worried about one trip to the range, I'm thinking more cumulative. And factoring in that lead can cause neurological problems, as can spray paint, I want to be cautious about what I expose myself to.
  17. Buddy really wanted a beer this place had on tap, so after eating Mexican food we went over to this place and split a pizza with some beers. Good flavors, horrible pizza.
  18. Chilaquiles. May not look like much but after the brewery got done with us this really hit the spot.
