@Starlight If you’re speaking of stone rows ... no. A farmer had more important things to do than screw around with the rocks ... they simply chucked them onto the pile. Note that I didn’t say “stone wall” ... I build stone walls ... there’s actually a difference. When a glacier pushes stones in front of it and them leaves a pile when it retreats, does it “create a wall”? When a guy on a bulldozer pushes a bunch of stones out of the way in a long line of offal, do they “create a wall”? I simply have to ask; Are you trying to make some sort of weird philosophical point or simply pontificating on some particularly stupid question?

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 24, 2020:

@govols Well, throughout most of the northeastern USA all throughout the woods and many other places there are big, long “piles” of rocks ... also sometimes called “stonerows” and are often useful as a place to get material from for building. These stonerows served a couple purposes but, were only incidental. As farmers plowed their fields in the springtime they would often come up against rocks ... stones ... that had been pushed up from below. They would then pick up the rock and remove it from their field ... usually to the nearest edge of the field. Over time, these rows got to be quite big ... you’d be surprised how many stones “float” to the surface. These rows then became solid “edges” to a field ... often becoming a definite border to one’s “property” or “holding” since most farmers worked their property right to its edge. Most of those old farms and fields are gone now but you can “see” the actual layout of a “farm” by walking these rows through the woods ... its amazing to realize that all of what is now woodland was once under intensive agriculture ... often times property deeds lay out current property lines right along these stone rows. These days surveying is done via GPS but its startling to see how “dead on” these old rows still are. So ... there’s a “pile” of unstructured rock which has served a purpose for some 300 years or often more ...

@pbuck0145 Being that I’ve done LOTS of SCUBA and Snorkeling, the only “Positive Connotation” I can come up with for the word “SLUG” is “Sea Slugs” which aren’t really slugs but they certainly are beautiful. Otherwise, I can’t think of a single positive usage. Some people have suggested its a “Punch” but every use of Slug or Slugger in terms of a “punch” is basically negative ... usually a “Low” or unforeseen punch delivered to someone who is either unsuspecting or unable to defend themselves. The only other usage I can think of thats “positive” is not “slug” but “slugger” used to describe a major hitter in baseball.

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 24, 2020:

@govols A “pile of rocks” has no “structure” it is simply a “pile” ... further, it rarely serves a “purpose”. A “work of art that serves as a wall” (?) You could really mean almost any wall that includes artwork from Ninevah’s Gate (some 3500 yrs old) to the Fresco found Midas’ Palace in Knosos/Crete (some 2500 years old) to the “Freedom to Write” graffitied Riverside Drive Stonework on the West Side of Manhattan ... these all imparted a “message” imposed on the underlying structure. Or, are you referring to stonework carefully placed to create an “image” with or without regard to structural integrity of the structure itself. “An Intentional Wall That Will Stand ...” Its a structure designed to serve a purpose. Its primary importance and difference is that, where it may be also decorative, it remains a structure that can be relied upon for hundreds, thousands of years. Personally I like to do esthetically pleasing structural work ... not to say I always have that choice. I like going past work I’ve done and seeing it “fit” ... endure ... become “part” of the landscape. I did a copper roof for a College Amphitheatre in the Caribbean 40+ years ago ... It is kind if a charge to look it up in a Satellite Picture and see that roof gone verdigris looking even more beautiful than the day I finished it ...

I don’t use Wikipedia as a Primary Source but I do often use it as a binder to assemble facts I’ve delved into elsewhere. Perhaps this might help though it doesn’t go into personal particulars “https://www.jackdaniels.com/en-us/our-story”. Maybe she was mistaking his Grandfather for “Jack” himself? Which then might be true but would remove all the validity of the claim to be associated in any way with Jack Daniels ... the Distillery, the Liquor or the “Special Recipe”. Regardless, my contention stands. Theres no way someone coming from the British Isles or Wales specifically, had a “Special Recipe” that involved or included Corn (maize) in the “recipe” sorry but it wasn’t a major grain there. Jack Daniels is a form of Bourbon which, until just recently, is a 100% American Spirit. Actually a USA Spirit as it was not made anywhere else.

I think you think way too much ... Not that the piece was “bad” but ... Most of the People who came here on their own came because they rebelled against the “Structure” they were living under. (Tired of being oppressed by people with weapons) Most of the People who were “shipped” here were sent because they were rebellious and therefore “undesirable”. The most common theme Was and Is ... “He who has the Arms makes the Rules”. Most places these people came from prohibited private ownership of weapons. Is it “genetic”? I’d say YES. The gene involved is a Rebel Gene ... a Strong Need to NOT be Oppressed ... both the Males and Females were “Gifted by God” with the Unwillingness to Bend to the Yoke. Not to mention that there were Laws written here ... and Actually Remained on the Books until the 1960’s that REQUIRED Gun Ownership.

Trump’s first 4 years is the Beginning of the Beginning of reclaiming Our Nation back. I said it wasn’t going to be easy ... I said Trump would likely get little done ... I was wrong. Thankfully despite all the crap he’s had to wade through, he’s managed to get a lot done.

Hey! The Authorities in Minneapolis apparently had no problem with his Record. On the other hand, Floyd was a 6’3” 225 pound “Bouncer” on MethAmphetamine and Fentanyl (not a particularly rational mix) which often creates a violent reaction. He Resisted Arrest ... refusing to get into the squad car ... he spoke frequently and loudly ... pretty loud for a guy who couldn’t breathe ... the autopsy showed No Indication of Asphyxiation or Strangulation ... though it did reveal Heart Disease and Hypertension (I’m sure that the MethAmphetamine was just the “Heart Medication” he was taking) His death was Bad and it was probably exacerbated by his treatment by that Officer but there were 3 guys holding him down ... why do you think it took 3 guys?

I’ve had girlfriends of every Color, Creed and Culture (except Muslim) and found that they are remarkably all the same ... except in the way they “see” themselves ... American Women seem to have the WORST Self Image. The phrase that “Birds of a Feather, Flock Together” is a perfect example of Natural Racism ... I don’t think that “Racism” is the Real Problem ...

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 10, 2020:

@Serg97 Okay ... so I did some quick history research and research research on the .40. One of the primary aspects of the .40 seems to be capacity and better knockdown than the 9 and higher velocity than the .45 and it tends to make up for the lack of performance of “standard” quality brass. I wasn’t a fan of the 9 particularly but I find that as a single stack its light, slim and small ... in fact almost too small for my hand but it provides the performance I expect to need and its more accurate at a longer range than the .45 Let me say that I honestly don’t intend to get into shootouts requiring more than 2-3 rounds so an 8 clip loaded to 6 is my standard for a 9. The .45 is a much better knockdown but a bit much for wandering around with ... I also don’t intend to get into extended firefights with it so again, a single stack either is enough or I’m screwed ... but I tend to hit what I target so... As to brass ... my home and carry loads are only high quality bonded rounds ... target stuff I’m into performance as far as firing, clearing, cleanliness and accuracy but its not the stuff I leave in it. If someone gave me a .40 and I got to spend the time with it to get comfortable with it I might develop a different opinion but ... feeding the units I have with fairly regular practice time is costly enough

Does it feel as if the US is experiencing some sort of political coup?

I feel like the US was reaching a political coup when the Republicans straight up blocked impeachment witnesses, and when they let the president attack US citizens.

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 9, 2020:

@JacksonNought LOL ... You saw “facts” ... pages and months of “facts” ... as presented by the DIMWITS. The most interesting thing I saw was that the deeper the DIMWITS Dug, the more they began to expose Their Own “Skeletons” ... All their “digging” did was open up that communal grave a bit bigger ... I’m waiting for them to jump in. Interestingly so far after ALL Their Bullshit and MILLIONS of Dollars and EVERY Biased Dimwit and Bimbo they could produce, they managed to produce NOTHING. Not One SINGLE Anything.

Personal preference is for the series b vaccine and for severe outbreaks have series g12 sub type buck as a primary. My duty partner prefers model 308 as a primary

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 9, 2020:

@Jarnhann Okay ... yeah, the first time I read your response I thought it was 12G (“buck” ) but it didn’t really fit in a conversation about “carry weapons” so I had to think all it could mean was a variant of a Mauser. As long gun for short range defense I have a 12Ga 870SM hanging on the wall by my door but I’d really rather not use it in the house because the cleanup and repair would be too much of a chore. I’ve a couple other long guns as well though they’re actually more about hunting than “defense”. The 12Ga is kind of dual purpose because it goes out hunting as well and hopefully thats all it will ever be called upon to do ... where I live it is unlikely I’ll have to turn it on a person ... a bear is quite a bit more likely. A .50 ... well, that’s a pretty brutal piece ... I spent some time with a friend’s and it was impressive maybe but I can’t really see it as a “go to” for much of anything ... its too big to conceal and its hard to keep it on target and its awful heavy for “whipping it around” ... or even lugging around for that matter and yeah, the brass is a bit out there. If I could afford ... and afford to feed ... a .50, I would love to own a Barrett M82 ... kind of my dream ideal of a “Long Gun” ... for hunting ... of course

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 9, 2020:

G12 ... as in a Mauser Type Frame? .308 ... Either of these is a bit too ... esoteric ... for carry purposes as far as I’m concerned. The .308 isn’t actually a “pistol” usually as much as a rifle round. Ive fired a Mauser in the past ... the round was lighter but I didn’t care for the balance as it was too front heavy.

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 9, 2020:

I was never big on .40 but then, it really took quite awhile to get cozy with a 9. My first was a .38 snub that my Mom passed down to me at 12 ... it couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn but at 12 it was impressive. My first love was an M1911.45 that belonged to my father’s friend ... after I got off the ground from getting smacked between the eyes by the recoil at 13. M1911 .45 is still one of my favorites.

@MosheBenIssac Thanks ... that report seems to uphold the premise that this was NOT asphyxiation or strangulation. My guess is the adrenaline pumping on top of the Fentanyl and MethAmphetamine coupled with the “Fight or Flight” reaction caused the guy”s heart to give out. A couple points that I have made repeatedly are; We have no footage leading up to the take down. It took FOUR men to restrain him as he was obviously resisting arrest The guy worked as a “Bouncer” ...Being that he was 6’3” and about 228 he was no “Harmless Child” The footage we DO see may look bad but I’m not sure I support the contention that the officers acted incorrectly. Even given that the guy stopped struggling does not mean that he wasn’t waiting the chance to reengage ...

There are so many threads to George Floyd's story. I read at stories he was a gentle man, that he helped out at his church, that he urged young men to avoid violence. I've also read he had a long, violent police record and that he was arrested after passing counterfeit money. Maybe the ...

And This ... “According to statement of probable cause filed with the Fourth District Court, the autopsy performed on George Floyd on Tuesday indicates “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” The statement goes on to note: Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.” How does that impact the conversation?

There’s this funny thing about “coincidences”... Since 9-11 and before We ... as a Nation ... were circling the drain ... Socially, Politically, Culturally ... then came “the Messiah” (aka Obama ... the shitheel) and ... He damn near put the cap on the process BUT he was SO Obvious and SO Outfront with his bullshit ... he WOKE the Sleeping Conservatives ... the Drowsing Patriots ... he STARTLED the Mind Numbed Thinkers. I Believe that Obama was supposed to be the NWO’s “Crowning Achievement” (Look at ALL the “Non Scandals” and INEPT “Leadership” he provided). I Believe that HE was supposed to be the “Trump Card” but ... he turned out to simply be a Joker in the Deck. Oddly enough the US Citizenry actually FOUND a “TRUMP” Card ... How more aptly named could the guy be? Look at ALL the Bullcrap that has happened since He arrived ... Yes ... tell me its all a “Conspiracy Theory” ... tell me that I must simply be “BORED” ... EVERY “Puzzle” is a collection of seemingly unrelated parts ... UNTIL you start putting the pieces together.

Before “SLUG” there was a lot of that. Mostly I simply skip those. If the poster has nothing to say about whatever they’re giving a link to, I have to assume they have no opinion. I griped about that several times but ... I find, by skipping them altogether, I don’t “feed” their nonsense. SLUG has simply been more of the same with the addition of what seems to be largely the “Special Ed” kids of Intelligent Conversation. SLUG.com is a ... sister site? ... set up by the same people that cross feeds into IDW. IDW was looking for somewhat more traffic but ... I’m not impressed by the folks showing up.

Well, while your first two sentences seem to be “True”, the concept of “Free” is relative isn’t it? If Someone Hands You $100,000 and You DON’T Ever have to Pay It Back ... its “Free” to You. Just like this sudden surge of “Free Money” is to the recipients ... THEY DON’T HAVE to PAY IT BACK soooo ... its “FREE” ... to THEM. Just like a Looter who Steals a Big New Flat Screen, if They DON’T GET CAUGHT (or, at least PROSECUTED) ... its “FREE” ... to THEM
