  1. Nice inexpensive bottle of Cognac I found.

    Here's a recipe for Admiral's Flip. https://thedearsurprise.com/three-sheets-to-the-wind-with-jack-aubrey-and-crew/ That brandy would be a good start, but then you'd need to add champagne - something like this...
  2. Great coffee.

    The other thing is that if you're making five or six cups, there's a fair amount of volume of liquid, so it won't cool as quickly. While @buellbrewer has proper insulated presses, a 'normal' borosilicate glass press will keep the coffee pretty hot for those minutes, especially if you preheat...
  3. Great coffee.

    The key is scalding the milk https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/how-to-make-spanish-cafe-con-leche/
  4. Great coffee.

    We get ours from these guys. Good selection but not cheap. But then, life's too short to drink crappy, cheap coffee. https://groundsandhoundscoffee.com/ 100% on using either the low tech filter cone or french press method for making good, flavorful coffee easily.
  5. Has anybody tried the Winchester Ammo Warehouse?

    If a vendor doesn't take credit cards, just walk away. For funsies, you can verify they're a scam if they also sell guns, but just putting one in your shopping cart and ALMOST completing the purchase. They won't ask who your FFL is. Other indication - no way of getting in contact with them, and...
  6. Where is the best place to recycle a lead shower pan

    Might want to go over to the Reloading channel for the bullet-casting folks
  7. The Titanic Sunk 112 Years Ago, Today

    I was disappointed in the movie for a couple of reasons. First, it could have been far better if that scene where she went up and leaned out over the forepeak? A kraken should have swept her off and dragged her down to the deep. Better drama, would have appealed to more men. Secondly, Rose...
  8. O.J. Dead

    The prosecution was kind-of a marker for me. I became a Permanent Resident Alien the same week he was acquitted.
  9. I need law advice. Anyone a lawyer?

    I wouldn't do so even then.
  10. Inflation….

    And let's not forget that interest rates were through the roof - which they needed to be to get that inflation rate down. Paul Volcker was maybe the only good appointment Carter made during that utterly awful administration.
  11. Something is bothering me!

    The only way to mow a field:
  12. Massive bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck.

    Allegedly, the ship radioed a mayday before the impact that managed to get some traffic stopped. If true, those damn terrorists are being way too civilized.
  13. Massive bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck.

    Lead time is an issue. It's unlikely very much of the structure can be repurposed. This is America. 3 years at least Ships have insurance. Directly or indirectly with Lloyds of London. But primarily covers just the ship and its cargo.
  14. Gun rights for all........

    I think the real issue here is to decide whether an individual who has committed a crime for which he has not yet been punished, should enjoy all of the rights that are natural to a law-abiding citizen or resident of the US. If immigrants present in the US illegally should enjoy those...
  15. Can't choose your family

    Nothing as bad as you've experienced, but you know, there are members of the family who - by my hanging around with them - could easily make me a worse person.
  16. School me on the Fn High Power 9mm (newer version)

    Mec-gar manufacture a lot of magazines for the gun manufacturers, and about 10 years ago, they redesigned their mag followers so that for many of the mags they offer, they can pack a few extra rounds in over and above the "standard" capacity mags the gun manufacturers offer. They did this with...
  17. School me on the Fn High Power 9mm (newer version)

    The new High Power's magazines aren't compatible with the old Hi Power. If you're looking for old-model mags, and you haven't tried them, Mec-gar is the OEM you need to look at - and if the reason you were looking was for capacity, Mec-Gar make 17-round mags for the Hi Power.
  18. School me on the Fn High Power 9mm (newer version)

    You just need to shoot 'em more.
  19. School me on the Fn High Power 9mm (newer version)

    The one I shot was owned by a friend who may have resolved a lot of the 'out of the box' issues. I found the accuracy to be 'not bad', but the ergos are unlike anything else I own - so I discounted my ability to not shoot a cloverleaf to ammo and the shooter.
  20. School me on the Fn High Power 9mm (newer version)

    The thing to remember really is that the FN High Power is a totally different gun from the OG Browning Hi Power. (Very) Different internals, different ergos, even though the outside looks somewhat similar. Not an expert on the new model, but I have shot one, and it's an accurate and seemingly...
