    Should maryjuanna be legal for non medical reasons?

    Yes. My body; my choice. As with all choices, harming others is a crime. Use responsibly.

    Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm

    Just enjoying the humor of comparing rights. I carry concealed whenever I leave the house. But I absolutely LOVE our constitutional right to open carry. Nobody thought twice when I was a teen about me carrying my shotgun on my motorcycle, or walking down the road. Guns are a tool.

    Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm

    We have constitutional open and concealed carry. Free state. ;-) 380 applied to the face, pelvis, center mass will get a significant response.

    Our first brisket. 9 pounder. 8 hour method with just salt and pepper. Outstanding.

    18650 re supply

    If so, you are likely buying the wrong top style. You probably need button tops in those lights, or the springs are bent in your contacts from using longer protected cells. Lights can't electrically tell the difference between protected and unprotected cells. But any cell that's too short, or...

    18650 re supply

    I don't use protected cells, so I buy from the top tier companies that build them. Panasonic/Sanyo Samsung SDI LG Energy Solution Molicel High amps, Molicel (king of high amps) or Samsung. But they all make higher Amp models than almost any flashlight needs.

    Things I've learned the hard way . . .(Part 2)

    Most people are nice, given the chance.

    Anyone else completely against lights with built in batteries?

    That might be the key. I keep unused lights with the cap twisted just enough to disable them. So every use of a long unused light starts with twisting the cap. However, Zebralights, Malkoffs, and other quality lights have never shown the slightest hint of corrosion when inspected.

    What do you cook on?

    I run my own show. 12,000 square foot warehouse that used to be two businesses. Two kitchens, four bathrooms, indoor archery range, gym, shop, total freedom. :-)

    Anyone else completely against lights with built in batteries?

    ??? I've never once cleaned a battery contact on my replaceable battery flashlights, nor needed to. That's with 100% rechargeable batteries or lithium primaries only, cause friends don't let friends use alkalines. All my lights are top quality (26 Zebralights, Malkoffs, etc.). Not sure if it's...

    No to proprietary batteries since 4-Sevens debacle. Built in non-replaceable is okay for a cheap keychain light, but nothing else.

    What do you cook on?

    Cuisinart hot plate at the office. Made a ton of venison stew, squirrel and dumplings, and tons of sautéed fish, chicken, and beef.

    Never do drugs ever ever

    1. FO to anyone trying to tell me what I can do with my own body. 2. Thankfully we don't live in a despotic country where they kill people for selling artificially illegal substances. I'd fight against that barbarism. 3. I've done most drugs, including heroine. I'm successful in ways most...

    I'm desperate and need a $6,000 crypto loan.

    Strangest thread here. My judgment? Total BS.

    What watch you're wearing?

    On travel so running the Tag SEL.

    Im scared for this space launch

    It's not only provable, but already proven beyond any doubt. In real cities and highways worldwide, there's been about 100 million miles, 10 million hours, of autonomous driving. Compared to human drivers (matched environments): ~70–85% fewer injury-causing crashes ~50–60% fewer...
