A typical Colt AR-15 is several hundred dollars more than most of the other manufacturers. Not to mention that the military is in the process of moving off the AR platform and to a different round than the 5.56. If anything this is Colt setting themselves up for the new platform and more profitable contracts.

Normally I agree with you on just about everything but your comment “...and one other guy who managed to rise higher in the field of “electrical”” sounds pretty classist. I work in IT and make a lot of money, a buddy of mine is an electrician that makes an easy 50k a year more than me. Not everyone had the desire to…
I would say the problem is more that employers dont want to allow employees to work from home. I work in IT and 90% of what I do is cloud based I only need to VPN in when I access SAP directly which I am sure could be changed so I can access it without the VPN but our security team is fanatical about SAP being locked…
Funny when I was a kid and we lived in our car it was called being homeless white trash not van life.
Sadly I have worked for companies like that in the past. I am pretty lucky we are a F300 company and while there are a few things I wish were different overall its a pretty great place to work. I had been here 7 weeks as a contractor when my wife passed away unexpectedly they told me to take as much time off as I…
If he is making $45 an hour including the 401k as the director I doubt the salary for IT is going to be worth a damn. Counting my companies 401k (6%) I am within about $2.00 an hour and my boss just told me that my annual raise should be better than last years (4.5%)
I am salary, there are weeks I work 70 - 80 hours (granted few and far between but when I do they suck) but also have weeks where its so quiet I may be at the office for 45 hours but only working 10 or 15. Plus on the long weeks usually take a day or two off as comp time the next week.

A friend drove one for about 10 years acceleration was measured with a sundial. He had paid $1500 in 1991 IRC, got rear-ended by a dump truck in 1995 that barely dented the bumper and trunk lid. The insurance company gave him almost $3500 and he drove the car for at…
2 quick stories about 70's cars:
I didnt have time to look this up before another worthless meeting but here is a small article on the SEALs and Patilla Airfield.
I dont know about a yacht but they were tasked with taking out his private plane and securing that airstrip. Turned out to be a fucking mess, several SEALs killed or wounded before it was secure.
Hopefully!
Dec 1989 C141 to Panama, full battle rattle, rucksack, rifle and 60mm mortar on my lap and knee of the guy across from me between my legs. I managed to fit 3 cassettes and three extra sets of batteries in my ass pack. To this day I cant listen to Whitesnake Slip of the Tongue, Hanio Rocks Self Destruction Blues and…
I was doing some slow speeding parking lot maneuvering right after I bought my geezer glide and caught bump wrong in the middle of a U-turn at about 15 mph. I was in jeans and a riding jacket, I had road rash on my shoulder, elbows and all along my calf and even a spot on my hip. I don’t think my helmet hit the…
I own a 2015 RAM EcoDiesel that has had the fix and it has fucked my truck’s drivability to the point that as soon as FCA sends me my check I am selling it. I would have never bought it had I known the BS they were pulling but this is pretty much assuring I will never own another FCA vehicle.
So all the other Demon’s just gained 25k in value....I wonder how many of them have been totaled?
I have am a veteran with a CIB etc. I have been burying friends and fellow soldiers since 1990 get the fuck out of here with that shit. I am not a liberal unless you think the fact that I am for everyone being treated equally. Personally I cant stand Kaepernick and think he was over rated as a QB. That being said you…
In a year or so I will be looking for a used 15 - 17 C7 and already struggling with deciding between the auto and a manual. Really want a manual but have a left knee that is going to need a replacement long before I buy a different Vette (fuck the VA btw) not to mention that the auto is faster than the manual makes…
I have instituted a no politics at family dinner’s policy because even though we are all pretty much on the same page, because there are enough differences in a few areas that its not worth the arguments.
