It's the programmers not auto correct. I worked in IBM's labs in the "Natural Computing Center" and back in the 90's we had handwriting and speech recognition down 100% flawless. The speech reco was so good it had a spell checker with a "forward looking context lexicon" which was infallible...

Now they spend that time shoving video ads in your face and you have reserve seats online, no more first come first served. I stopped going to the movies years ago.

Bob, not many things can choke me up but your post did. I pray it gets better for you with time.

Dolby noise reduction!

I won't even follow a link to something so absurd. Other links I don't follow: Parachutes that fail to deploy fully, rock climbers in distress, snow jumping fails, white water rapid kayak accidents, dopes that hit mean dogs, motorcycle tricksters... Y'all get the picture :)

Way back I had a SBH with the squared trigger guard and like it a lot. Today my only Ruger with one is not by any stretch a hard kicking BH "Palomino" in .357.

It's a small world for sure! While living in New York, I joined the U.S Navy and at boot camp there was a guy in my company who was my best friend's brother! It was very cool going through boot with someone I knew well. I lived in upstate New York is a place named Woodland Valley 6+ miles...

Always action open. Not only there but shooting skeet or trap. The shooters on the line didn't like my BPS (bottom eject) shotgun because despite the forearm being in the rearward position they couldn't SEE it open and empty.

Ruger is in business to make money and floating limited interest design balloons that may lose money is unwise. OTOH, Ruger making special runs seems to be profitable for them and the distributors while giving us revolvers that may scratch an itch that a stock Ruger may not. I place some extra...

To quote an old Simon & Garfunkle song "I get the news I need on the weather report" so my phone and PC only have weather station links. I get OTA TV and thankfully I still can and do skip the news stations completely. The vicious personal attacks from both left and right sides (even on some...

Tonight we watched "Ghost" with Patrick Swaze and Whoopie Goldberg and in the subtitles in the last scene Whoopie says "Thank (@@@)" Who is responsible for cutting out the name of God in broadcast movie subtitles? His name has become offensive? To whom? I don't care what or even if you...

Set at 40? Anyway, most don't come back because after smoking 100 straight at American skeet they get maybe 6 of 25 and leave. Funny FITASC, 5 stand and sporting clays folks do pretty well initially, no surprise there. I shot it poorly at first (I think I got less than 5) but like other...

Dang, the strut is a pretty strong part and I'm wondering how it could have been bent? An escape the Ruger's assembly line? Maybe someone forcing the hammer back on a high / poorly seated cartridge?

Samantha Barrios wrote: "Law enforcement now won't be able to identify a criminal from someone who has gone through a background check and training to carry a gun in public" That is utter nonsense. If police stop someone for PC (probable cause) they HAVE A RADIO to check them. If there's no...

Frighteningly Intense Tough Ass Sporting Clays? No, 5 stand was humbling enough for me :)
