    No rush. This stuff has been in my basement for a couple years now. I am also away next week so take your time.

    Beer brewing equipment

    I have a bunch of stuff that hasn’t been used in a couple years as I moved on from the hobby. If you’re interested in anything make me an offer. $500 takes the whole lot. Everything works and is “clean” except for 2 of the korny kegs that have some beer remnants in them. Not pictured are the...

    BIYF 2022/2023 - Even less frills

    2/25 1:05 riding time + dirt :30 1:35 total I feel like BIYF has been a yoyo for me this year. The weather has been all over the place. My availability has been pretty variable. Finally, my motivation has been extremely inconsistent. Oh well, I got out for a ride today before what will be...

    Do guns have any value as a deterrent? Can the presence of a gun prevent a crime from occurring? Are there any stats on how often a gun is used, but not discharged, in self-defense? My guess would be that those events go largely un-reported to police.

    I'm glad this came up. We (and I truly mean we in the collective sense) get very entrenched in our camps. I think most of us overlap a lot more than we realize. I'm honestly glad this thread didn't get locked up. I mean, there were some "interesting" posts here and there but overall, it's been a...

    Both very well said. It is indeed very sad that the warning signs were missed on so many different occasions resulting in unthinkable tragedies. I don’t know what the solution is but a big part of me thinks we all need to be more comfortable confronting the situation when the warning signs are...

    2/18 1:05 No bonus Took the road bike out for a spin and kind of meandered around. I am definitely prone to getting in a rut with my riding and the road bike is no exception. I was following what is becoming my usual road loop but took a few random turns to avoid waiting for traffic. I even...

    As I stated, I’m not looking to get rid of laws, just don’t want any more. If anything a few of the processes could be combined, as much of it is repetitive. What I mean is that to get a FOID you need digital fingerprints, references, etc. Then to get a pistol purchase permit, for example, you...

    So I haven’t seen anyone advocate on behalf of no gun laws. The problem, simply put, is that the laws we already have are so strict that they are nearly impossible for law abiding citizens to comply with. We don’t have “common sense” laws in NJ, we have damn near an outright prohibition on gun...

    Is anyone else tracking the whale situation in NJ?

    Why does it need to be mandated? If solar is the answer, why don’t people choose to install it? Why force it? If it’s mandatory there really isn’t a reason for technology to advance and get better. Competition drives innovation.

    Also, the guns purchased out of state and brought into IL are still illegal to own in IL. Again, it's the criminal mindset that is the problem, not the gun. Above and beyond the guns being illegal, the crimes they committed with are also illegal. Murder is illegal. Rape is illegal. Armed robbery...

    The first thing plead out in court by career criminals are the gun crimes. They usually carry the stiffest penalties (as @Johnny Utah mentioned above, mandatory 10yrs in prison or more) and can be leveraged by prosecutors to get a guilty plea for other charges, often with a lighter sentence. But...

    Nice zoom action! I’ve actually passed on a few of the Halloween bonus opportunities just because I get an awkward creepy feeling about taking pictures of people’s houses at certain times of the day. Distance shot FTW!

    As much as driving is integral in almost everyone’s life, I think we would all agree that driving is by no means a right. It is a priveledge. While it doesn’t take much to earn the priveledge, it is not guaranteed. There really isn’t any controversy surrounding that. You make a very valid...

    Shock/fork pump?

    I would say it doesn’t matter as long as you pick one and stick with it. If you set up your suspension based on sag the specific number is pretty much irrelevant.

    Who likes to smoke their meat?

    Pork loins almost feel like cheating between how cheap they are to buy and how easy they are to cook.
