    Chicago/Mid-West people, the words/rant of a southern man..

    I'm from Macon County TN. (Lafayette/Red Boiling Springs). Its one of the largest counties, and has one of the fewest populations in TN. I love it there. Growing up, I couldn't wait to leave. I worked as a service contractor the first few years after graduating, and was always traveling. I hated...

    General Motors, Do They Deserve Failure?

    BrianSD_42 Thank you for the post. I had never heard of the NUUMI plant, or This American Life before you posted that. I love intellectual reporting that really makes me think, and there is so little of it happening today. After listening to the NUUMI report, I downloaded the entire first 500...

    General Motors, Do They Deserve Failure?

    There is a reason Consumer Reports, (and any other honest reporting agency thats not in the Auto Union's pocket) consistently rate US cars as "unreliable". Hell the last time I checked, something like 18 of the 25 most unreliable vehicles of the last 25 years were domestic, and this is repeated...

    they did seem to get pretty shitty after the sandy hook rush. still don't think they ever recovered from it. (or they have so much money now they just don't care).

    Computer Care

    Both Chuckles and BrianSD are giving you excellent advice if you absolutely MUST use MS Windows. I am a Cyber-Intelligence Analyst by trade. I cannot stress enough how unsecure MS Windows is. If at all possible, switch to OSX or Linux as soon as possible. Both OSs are very easy for anyone to...

    Official T4R "Firearms" thread

    I have collected firearms for many years, and have an FFL. I have owned and sold many nice guns in my life. A few I have regretted, but they were sold to aquire other guns. The guns I sold always went to aquire others that were on my radar at the time, so I never really felt bad about selling...

    Cut the cord: Whole house digital antenna

    I downloaded the DIY HD antenna template Lifehacker.com posted awhile back. It is just aluminum foil and posterboard. I cut it with an x-acto knife, used the old type antenna connector-to-coax adapter, and 2 small screws. I'm in San Antonio and get 32 HD channels with it.

    SV_Dude If I were in your shoes, I'd get rid of the HK asap, and put your money into the CZ now. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people spend literally thousands in ammo, sights, grips, etc. trying to get a pistol to shoot to their satisfaction. Eventually, they get rid of it anyway...

    Cut the cord: Whole house digital antenna

    I haven't had cable tv in over 10 years. I either download all my stuff or watch it OTA. My house in VA had an old, huge antenna froim the 80s in the attic. I ran new wires, plugged it into my tv and had almost 50 HD channels. You guys on Cable and Satellite don't know what real HD is...

    Official T4R "Firearms" thread

    Pistols are a very personal thing. Once you have the fundamentals down, its just a matter if what design you shoot well. If your fundamentals are good, and you want a pistol with even better ergonomics than the P30, a much better trigger, and (for most people) will shoot circles around the HK...

    Does anyone here own one of the Savage Axis rifles? They are 300$ or less and shoot like any other Savage (amazing). I got to shoot one at the range a couple days ago, and I have to say, I cannot see buying any other bolt action rifle! Savage Rifle's out of the box accuracy is better than a lot...

    Very sad news:'99 4Runner carjacked; owner found dead

    I'm so glad I'm out of VA now. Most ghetto state I ever lived in. A true shithole.
