Misc Firearms crew LXX: Hold my beer a SEC. Georgia blew a 20-7 lead

[SpeedCheeser]

Easy to sell. I’d start at $1300 and see what happens.

wait, wat?

[Jesse_l_g]

1000

Sorry on my cell. Not sure why it isn't quoting my replies

[SpeedCheeser]

Quitter!


Not srs.


I don't blame you for getting out. I took a flyer on it . . . hasn't been a great decision but I'll see where it goes. It's almost a comical challenge of wills at this point.

Yeah, I wanted to watch it pull a phoenix, but it's just not making sense anymore. The environment that allowed it to be as high as my average cost was at won't exist for quite a while, and as long as I'm holding and waiting, that's a good chunk of change that isn't working for me in the market where literally everyone is making money. May as well take the loss and stick what's left in something that might be able to make some of that back up until it looks like an attractive play again.

Dual, it's funny that you mentioned the identify theft. My wife told me this morning that her brother just found out his identity was stolen. The tip-off was that he noticed he wasn't getting any mail addressed to him the last week or so. His wife was getting mail, but not him. He checked with the post office and they told him a change of address had been submitted . . . changing his address from Colorado to Georgia. So he immediately called the credit bureaus and found out that credit cards had been opened in his name--with GA billing addresses.

So now he has to get that all cleaned up. The phukking balls on some people. They should make identity theft punishable by death . . . or like mandatory 40 years in prison.

It's amazing how someone can do this. The U.S. has such terrible privacy laws. I would love to opt out of being in any database on Google, credit agencies, marketing and ad agencies, or any other private company making money off of selling my personal information. They can pretty much do that in Europe but our government is for sale and those companies have huge and generous lobbies. It should also be illegal to use your social security number for anything other than collecting social security.

This guy even has to go to the DMV to get a new drivers license with a special code on it so that if he gets stopped by the police, they'll know he is the real guy and not the imposter. The police even want him to sign a release agreeing not to sue if he gets arrested, for stealing his own identity. Times like this I'm glad my credit score is in the sh!tter--nobody wants a piece of that.

ETA: He has LifeLock, called them and they said sorry, we are just a monitoring service. I'm sure there will be lawyers involved but LifeLock has been around long enough to know they aren't responsible for anything. I don't see how this could have happened with a monitoring service watching his credit.

I've only had a card stolen. It was a card I had for emergencies only and wasn't used. A woman in France tried to buy $150 worth of shoes with it lol.

All joking aside, the Bubba'd out SKS isn't worth a whole lot.



*the grip pod makes it more attractive, though.

[Jesse_l_g]

Could I get 1000 for it easy enough?

Fair trade if nothing else?

It's crazy investing right now, as everything is sky high. I feel we are due for some sort of correction. I've been playing penny stocks as of late with little success.

[Farley1324]

I have a sauna for sale on FB and a guy sent me a message asking if I would trade for a firearm.

"It's an ska that I.put a t6 tapco stock and I still have the original stock with a truglo red dot sight a an armed forces green laser sight 2 20rd mags plus the original box mag and all the ammo I have for it I think it's around 200 or so could be more and a forward grip that is also a bipod"

What would this be worth? Would I have a problem reselling it?

No.

[SpeedCheeser]

I could be wrong, but I really thought that SKS were like a $300 rifle. The stock is under $100. And the grip pod and red dot are garbage.

I agree. We definitely feel due for a correction, but I've sort of felt that way for at least a year now while we've done nothing but moved ever upward. And after the tax cut, it feels like it's still full steam ahead. I'm sure it's bound to happen sooner or later, but I have no idea when that might be.

I’ve got to add $5000 ($2500 in each) of my and wife’s Roth IRAs before April. Probably going to put that in the crap money market mutual fund Andrew let it sit making a couple percent and wait for the drop. I still have all of my bi-weekly money going into primarily low cost S&P funds - black rock.

Play stupid games....

Sherman Lackland, 21, was at E’s 24 Hour Cafe in Memphis on Thursday morning when he and two others were playing the “No Lackin Challenge,” according to Fox 19, citing a police affidavit. The game, according to the document, is when “people get into fake arguments” and draw their guns at one another.

But Thursday’s incident ran afoul when Lackland allegedly fired his handgun by accident, shooting his 17-year-old friend in the right side of his head, according to the affidavit. Police said the teen was brought to the hospital in critical condition and was eventually “downgraded to extremely critical.”

[Ikeman83]

The No Lackin Challenge is great. We should encourage idiots to try it.

I've only had a card stolen. It was a card I had for emergencies only and wasn't used. A woman in France tried to buy $150 worth of shoes with it lol.

these fukn thieves i swear man.

but on a positive note, I put in a request to sell all my phillip morris stocks if it hit $110, and it did, so i now have $2700.00 i can put towards my car. i am excite

[RThoe]

A buddy sent me some pics I had never seen before from our deployment. Taken by this stupid ******* retard reporter from the New York Times that was embedded with us for a bit.

This is a MICLIC, which shoots a rocket with a bunch of C4 attached to it, blowing a clear path from IEDs or debris. That's all I know about it since it's an engineer thing, but we had a few of them launch for us.

This particular case we had route clearance come out after we detonated three or four IEDs ourselves and then one go off on an Afghan vehicle.

Just thought they were cool and thought I'd share.









I have a video of one going off somewhere on a hill, but I'd have top dig and upload, not happening lol

[taf1968]

Just got back from my mom & dad's. Mom called me and said she needed me to come over . . . because dad was being "wicky wacky". They only live about 15 mins away, so I got their pretty quick. He was really confused, apparently. He didn't recognize that he was home and didn't recognize "this woman" (his wife) and wanted to go home. I guess he was really mad before I got there and my mom got a little scared.

He recognized me right away and I was able to reassure him that he was home and that this was his wife and got him to sit down and talk/relax. Then got him to get ready for bed and he was pretty much back to normal. Now I need a drink.

It's hard man. I came home for lunch the other day and my dad was just leaving the house. He said he was just going to the Home Depot down the street to get a toilet. 5 hours later he's not home. My brother and sister went to look for him and he's asleep standing up in a random isle no idea where he had been. Brought him home and he's sleeping in the yard refuses to come in.

Every other day occurance here.
