I bought a used Cypres last year, it was 7 years old, needed new batteries and the 4 year check (was used for 4 years then removed for 3). I sent it in for the 4 year and new batteries. Now, according to SSK, I need to send it in for an 8 year check even though it was just checked last year...WTF? So my question is, do I have to send it in? Is there a BSR I am violating if I don't? The damn thing only has 4 years left (after which I am going to buy a Vigil). Apprecite any relevant info. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

IQ of 111, but really I think the map is too small to be a fair knowledge test, especially the islands. Sad thingis I have been to a lot of the places and knew where they and I would still be off my hundreds of km due to the map being so damn small... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Not to defend UPS (I think they suck as well), but it happens very easily. I work at the Fedex world hub in Memphis, and trust me, when you are loading 4 or 5 trucks at the same time it is very easy to scan a package for truck A and have it end up in truck B or C... Having said that, I personally have never once had a good result from UPS, plus their customer service is shit. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Sarcasm? I live her because I was born here by luck. However, I would move if born in a state with gun/NFA laws like CA, IL, MA, MO, or NY. The second amendment says the RIGHT to keep AND BEAR arms SHALL NOT be infringed. What part of SHALL NOT do they not understand??? As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

I would rather have my gun and not need it than need it and not have it...in fact I would greatly perfer to NEVER have to use it, but it's there if I do. Illinois in general is an extremely restrictive state regarding gun laws. They ban citizens from owning silencers, machineguns and AOWs, basically no NFA items are allowed. I'm happy to be in Tennessee where we have a state law requiring CLEO to sign any NFA paperwork that is presented to them as long as the citizen can legally own the item. I recently took my NFA paperwork for a silencer to the CLEO and was in and out in about 15 minutes... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Never had to pull with intent fortunately, but I did have to show it once to diffuse a situation that was about to get really bad. It never left the holster but still did the job as a drunken redneck with a club was convinced he had picked the wrong target that night... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Can't tell for sure from the photo but it looks like a Leopard Gecko. They are from Pakistan, they eat crickets and mealworms. They need a bottom tank heatpad on one side of their enclosure so they can thermoregulate, a hidespot, and fresh water in a shallow dish. You should feed it once a week. A good indicater that the gecko needs to be fed more often is the tail - the tail should be fat (its tail is kinda like a camel's hump in that it stores nutrients to be used in case there is a dry spell on food). A thin tail indicates malnourishment. Put up a better picture and I can probably tell you what species it is (I need to see the markings and the skin texture to tell for sure). Edit to add do NOT use a heatrock, use an undertank heat pad. Geckos will sit on heatrocks and burn themselves (really thats a concern with all reptiles - I would never use a heatrock with any of my animals). As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

The normal weight limit for a tandem is 220 - 245 pounds. I have never met an instructor willing to take a 300 lb passenger. YMMV. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

The shitty movie was called The 13th Warrior...Michael Crichtons novel was (originally) titled Eaters of the Dead, an excellent reimagining of Beowulf. The new movie Beowulf I saw in 3D and I thought it sucked. And I am a huge fan of Robert Zmeckis AND Neil Gaimon, but they really dropped the ball with this piece of shit...

Come on now guys...as for wheres the willy, just watch Silence of the Lambs again for a complete visual reference (tuck and stuff). As for picking up girls in Thailand, the hot tip is to look for the adams apple Been to Thailand 5 times and never picked up a Katooey (ladyboy for the Thai-speaking impaired...)

Not sure in Farsi, but the Dari word for cat is peshak (Dari and Farsi are very close languages, Farsi is spoken in Iran and Dari in Afghanistan). As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

If the snake is CB there is no need to take it to a vet unless there is some kind of problem. Ideally you would want a vet that has studied herpetology (or is a herpetologist) so be sure to ask. When receiving your new snake, check that the eyes are clear and glossy, the scales are glossy, no bumps/sores (although bumps are not a total concern as they can be caused by unshed skin building up), nothing oozing from the cloaca, and no mites. Wait 24 to 48 hours before attempting to offer food - this gives the animal time to de-stress and get familiar with its new environment. And just FYI, ball pythons are pretty notorious for going off food for long periods of time, so if it refuses to eat for a while, that is fairly normal. It really doesnt get to be an issue until the animal begins to drop weight (I had one ball that ate like a pig and then one day stopped eating, didnt eat for 8 months and then started up again).

Get off the tourist path and check out some places in Eastern Europe - The Balkans, Albania, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia and Azerbaijan...They are considerably cheaper to travel in. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Be sure its captive born (CB). Many wild caught (WC) balls will refuse mice as food because they imprint on a small African rodent. Also, WCs tend to be loaded with gut parasites, mites and ticks. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

I vote drag bars for 2 reasons - I like them better than ape hangers for looks and comfort, and ape hangers are illegal in several states - drive that thing in my state (TN) with hangers and thats a pretty hefty ticket (over $100) As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Happened to me with an out of date 360, called the number and they agreed to fix it despite it being out of warantee. Doesnt cost you a penny, just a hassle and a wait. Personally I thought it was really stand up of Microsoft to do what they are doing in regards to the 360 problem. They could have just said fuck you, you paid your money and took your chances.

Jump 62 was my first hybrid, a 3 way. The other belly flyer had 28 jumps, the hanger had over 2000. Worked out great, even the hanger said he wished we had video it worked out so well. Top speed of 181 MPH and spinning so fast we almost lost our grips. We broke at 5000' and were under canopy by 3000' (or I was at any rate)

Tell Me How Michael Moore is Wrong, How He Lied.
crotalus01 replied to Gato's topic in Speakers Corner
Okay, i cant currently be assed with reading this entire thread but I will give exactly one (1) instance on MM lying. In Roger and Me he claims that he was never able to confront Roger except at the famous stockholder meeting he was ejected from, when in fact Roger gave him a sit down (albeit short) interview. From what I can recall, most of MMs bullshit is not really lying, its manipulating, which all documentarians do to some degree, but there ARE instances of outright baldface LIES, one of which I just sited.

Just as Christianity was not a culture that wanted to live with other cultures in the 12th through 14th centuries. The Crusades were not exactly an exercise in religious tolerance were they? Just playing devils advocate.... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...
