When Jobs died, the creative innovation side of the company went away.

Their product is secure no doubt and better than Microsoft. But they’re going to be making aesthetic changes going forward.

Everything they do upgrades the cameras on the phone currently. It’s very obvious that they want to become a production company that makes its own cameras.

Jeebus is the f’ing dude. Never lead me astray. He’s never lied to me.

Good ol’ Houston. The city with the Chinese embassy in it that was shredding all the documents it could when COVID happened. That’s the most unique thing about Houston.

I would call this an objective loss for EBR. Glad I moved.

How? Jindal did this hole patching move with state offices before he got wide eyed at a presidential run. It didn’t make anything better.

Now voters try to prevent this on a smaller level and it’s just a worse situation?

I don’t see how taking money from a well run system to a poorly managed system helps a current problem. At least this way a government department that is run like a private business actually has to be held accountable as such. Local government workers will find a new job and survive. The responses that act like the sky is falling is just emotional manipulation so they don’t have to change anything. they clearly have been spending outside of their means for sometime.

The EBR mayor is the parish president in EBR. Any mayor should replace the offices roles that are not elected each time they have a new mayor. The dems are much better at this and the R’s don’t do this effectively. Political hold-overs don’t hold a purpose to a new admin.

I feel sorry for Sid.

I don’t. He’s a football coach that ran for office under the summation that he was a good leader. He’s not creative and not as honest as he thought. THRIVE is a shining example of that.

He could’ve forced city leaders to go back to the drawing board instead of using emotional manipulation. A good leader does what’s right, not what’s easy.

we would hold the majority in every parish-wide election for the new parish government. Be careful what you wish for.

They wouldn’t all vote the same way each time. You had folks in NBR voting against THRIVE because they wanted NBR to be revitalized. Doesn’t seem like that’s in the plans anytime soon.

The responses that I saw to this was that NBR citizens want their side of town revitalized first.

To add another layer to those desires is that all real estate in this city is ridiculously overvalued by property owners and not maintained. That’s not gonna change overnight and slightly in a decade at best. The city isn’t worth what it’s marketed for. But we’ll keep hearing emotional manipulative statements and veiled threats of be careful what you wish for.

We’re not gonna tax our way out of this problem. The sooner folks realize that, we’ll be able to get going in the right direction and find a system that’s separated for less corruption and actually serves its constituents.

Get to work city officials, the lazy arse way to solve the problems was stopped.

The m1a is a bit more cumbersome for hunting. The marlin would likely be easier to tote around. If you plan to shoot more than 200 yards often, the M1A might be better suited caliber-wise.

I’m a big baw so that shouldn’t be an issue. But the distance you bring up is exactly why I wanted to reach out to y’all. Seems like it’s a situational ask and solution either way.

quote:

An M1A with a scope is a very big and heavy rig. Difficult to make into a very accurate rifle. Scope mounts are complicated and expensive. It’s a battle rifle, made to be reliable and durable enough to bayonet and beat people to death. Its a .308 so obviously will work well for big game.

---

My buddy lives in Idaho, and I figured that the M1A would be better for Elk hunting. I figured since the M1A can shoot 7.62 with a soft top and a .308 that I had more discretion in round choice for what I was going after in Idaho. Cheaper to go up there and hunt with him on BLM land than trying to setup a lease situation here.

quote:

Marlins make fine hunting rifles. They aren't going anywhere in the immediate future. Quite expensive for what they are but if its what you like, itll be easier to hunt with than an M1A.

I agree and love lever actions, I want both of these rifles at some point but am just looking for advice on which to grab this Black Friday.

I was leaning on a .357 or .44 caliber for the lever action but I think I will lean toward the 45-70 and 30-30 instead.

Held on to the hood of a gals car and took a steamer in the parking lot after smashing her in the cargo bay.
