  1. Fixed Why are all photos watermarked?

    Pretty heavy impact on the memes thread though. I mean I know that's not why we're all here but it's still a great loss.
  2. Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

    False actually. It may not do as much good for the wearer as an N95 but it sure does a lot of good for everyone else if the wearer happens to be a spreader. We gotta think about others and not just ourselves. Everybody is complaining about wanting to go back to work, well the only way it’s...
  3. Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

    The problem is, a mask alone isn't enough to do it. You need to protect your eyes, whole face, hands (and anything they touch) too.
  4. What's up with this bond repo market?

    From what I can tell, it is. But as they say, "even a blind squirrel..." I was actively listening to financial news shows back when '08 happened. But I don't anymore --and there really isn't a real news show anymore anyway-- so I feel out of the loop on this one. Something about it just rubs...
  5. What's up with this bond repo market?

    I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I've researched what it is (bond repurchase agreements used by banks for short-term lending) but that really doesn't tell me what this signal is all about. ZeroHedge has been posting a series of stories for nearly a week like this is...
  6. Walmart knife clearance.

    Not just bit by bit. This is what's left of the gun counter at mine. They're evacuating the entire section. The only thing left is camping and hunting clothing (high margin).
  7. Best Military movie of all time.

    Band of Brothers. Ok, it's actually a mini-series, not just a movie, but so awesome anyway
  8. Looking for mechanical/structural engineer

    I'm designing a new house using ICFs. I also want to do clear span floor and roof trusses. Looking for someone who can do the calculations for footings, basement wall rebar schedule, truss loads, roof mounted solar panel racks, balcony mounts, etc. I'm doing this self-pay and live in a county...
  9. Safety Harness

    I have the Hunter Safety Systems vest that does all of those. The fall restraint is a behind-the-back shock cord, it has a strain relief loop to step into in case you fall to relieve pressure on you and it has waist attachments for a linesman loop. I use mine for hunting and when I have to...
  10. Thinking of having a well drilled... how much am I looking at?

    Had mine drilled about 2 years ago. Quotes ranged from $10-14/ft for drilling only. Then add about $2000 for top side components and plumbing. Several hundred for the pump if you're less than 200 ft deep up to thousands if your well is over 400' deep. The trench from the well head to my...
  11. Looking to Get Started! (deer / boar)

    I second HuntStand app. It also works reasonably well offline if you download weather the night before. One word of warning about smartphones though. The GPS always works, and is reasonably accurate, but NEVER trust the compass on one. I don't care which brand, they're all awful. Sent from...
  12. Looking to Get Started! (deer / boar)

    Reflections for you from my own learning to hunt journey. 1) An experienced hunter (an elmer) to help teach you is worth everything. Rather than a one-time expensive guided hunting trip what about looking into joining a private club? Well run clubs (look for low member-to-acres ratios and...
  13. Official ODT Silver Thread

    Hi folks! First post in this thread, I've read it all over the years and I don't remember this book being mentioned before but I might have forgotten... The Death of Money by James Rickards. It's not a doomsday book like it sounds but a very complete (and sometimes dense) overview of world...
  14. Need advice on a Trailcam

    http://www.trailcampro.com There's a huge variety of cameras and sometimes big differences between similar models from the same manufacturer or even from one year to the next of the same model. Pro tip: Avoid black friday "deals." They are almost always cut down versions of a regular camera...
  15. Male logic

    Male Logic...... Flawless This is a conversation between a man & his wife. Please note that she asks 5 or 6 questions which he answered quite simply, but then she is speechless after answering only one question. l bet this happens more often than not to most husbands out there; I'm just...
