NW Florida, very conservative. Saw one in Taco Bell a month ago. Before that it had been a couple of years.

These are pricey, but you will be happy. Got these 4-years ago and they’re strong, soft, no holes.

Not a “known” serial killer, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this guy killed more than the one woman he ate and raped (her corpse):

Buddy of mine picked up old washers and dryers for free or close enough. Fixed and flipped 'em on eBay marketplace. Made several hundred a week.

The genius is that those appliances are easy to work on and usually have compatible parts. I went over to get a part from him and there were only 2 that fit all American washers.

I used to pick up vacuum cleaners on my paper route. Got stoned at night and cleaned them, maybe added a new belt and bag, perfect. Sold for $20 a pop. (This was in the 90s).

Another friend used to go out with her husband early on trash days and pick up free stuff by the road. Had a garage sale every Saturday, 6-7 hours tops, made $300-$400. “We take our neighbor’s trash and sell it back to them!”

See the Turtle! Ain’t he keen!

Solid explanation. I’d only add that I see the word in fiction used to describe Europeans and Americans as expats if they’ve been overseas for years and not even working. Seems to be people who eventually mean to return home.

Can we get The Black Sun while we’re at it?

They still have the dinner, Trump just doesn’t go.

Got this one. Only one on the market I know of.

Same bolt came in my Han Solo pistol.

It’s worked surprisingly well in the past, but I just put a heavy (H3) weight in to reduce recoil, probably won’t cycle .22LR any longer. And BTW, that heavy weight is a dream! My wife’s friend brought his stock AR to our camp and I was shocked how much harder it kicked.

It’s damned hard for a shotgun to end up useless. I restore old shotguns, have one from most decades starting in the 1890s. No matter how beat they were when they showed up, they worked just fine.

I have an easily swapable bolt that let’s my AR-15 shoot .22LR. Pretty nifty, though not quite as accurate since the bullet is .003 thinner.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can’t go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can’t jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

If you’re American, you should pull the ejection seat lever.

Until very recently, Dubai was a desert wasteland with a few Bedouin roaming about. I’m not sure what I would expect for history or tradition.

The other books are far more plot and character focused, less exacting military stuff. If you like RSR, you might like the following books even more. It’s an outlier, but not too far, from his other books.

Is the question time sensitive?

Flew half-way across the country on a private plane for a business meeting.

The mayor used to know my name. Hollered at me at Mardi Gras!

Went to a party at the woman’s house who owns a vast chunk of downtown. Got to see the Mardi Gras parade from above.

Me too! I have a pile of broken or malfunctioning guns and I want to figure out each problem. Had dropped out of gunsmithing for the past year or two, want back in.

My dentist made me a silicone mold for $70. All I have to buy is cheap whitener off Amazon.

That’s all because you’re bored. The world isn’t geared for genius level intelligence.
