Agree. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. They’ve been pleading with folks for the last 5 years to kill more deer and I think this season is running below 75% of normal.

I’d take advantage of it but it would cut into my habitat work season.

Currently have lead 8V batteries, still holding out hope I can breathe some life into them. Working on that tonight. Been fooling around with them, thinking they’re 6V the whole time, so my unsuccessful attempts at reviving them was in error to begin with. Trying again now.

Do you have a recommended brand?
If I’m king, I allow it, but it counts as 2 toward your bag limit, unless a youth, over 65, or disabled. Not quite as chicken shite as letting your trail camera kill em.
I’m sure you’re a fine fella, but I would support a law that punishes this kind of activity if it were possible to enforce such a thing.

48V golf cart battery replacement

I am brand new to this world, and I’m fairly sure the cart I was gifted has bad batteries. Talking to some acquaintances, the LiTime seems to be what most are using. Their website is a little clunky, though. What do I need to buy? What do I need to avoid?

You need to focus on a forest management plan first. In the meantime, figure out where you have fertile soil and topography conducive to growing a crop. Hire the dozer an excavator to clear.

Easy. Would you, as a Wyoming resident, seek out and purchase a rental home in BR? Of course not. Sell it.

That’s what I was thinking. Regardless of whether cost basis or current value is the convention for calculating “yield,” you could make a better dividend in lots of other places with a claimed lower “yield.”

Is that the right way to look at divi yield? The shares are worth some amount of money today, and the yield on that $ is less than about 3%. You could cash out and make a higher yield on those dollars elsewhere. Sure, based on 2020 share price, the yield is a higher %, but that’s not the current value.

They know what they got. ;)

I know them personally but have never done business with them. Seems when there are lease or membership availabilities it’s the land’s fault and not the owner’s.

Weyerhaeuser probably hasn’t owned a piece of logging equipment in 30 years.
Not to the OP specifically…

Here’s the conundrum: if you own any stock, even thru an ETF or mutual fund, of one of these companies run by fat cat exec, you are part of the problem.

Own one share of VTI? Don’t complain.

Edit
30% off the last 2 new trucks I bought. I doubt that’s happening again.
This. Bullet weight, muzzle velocity doesn’t matter. The barrel’s harmonics dictate change in POI. Shooting even the same bullet at a higher velocity won’t necessarily make it impact higher. It’s all about the individual barrel, pressure, and harmonics… and BC.

Are you asking if the switch has power? Yes, it does.

Router, switch question

Posted by turkish on 1/10/26 at 1:16 pm
I am exceedingly ignorant to this, so bear with me.

I have a TP Link SG1005P switch connected to an ATT router. The switch is not providing any connectivity to device plugged into it via Ethernet. Looking in the network menu of my MacBook when connected to the switch, it says that it’s connected to Ethernet but has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.

When I plug the Ethernet cable straight from the router to my MacBook, it connects and seems to work correctly.

I’ve dealt with issues with this switch for a long time, abandoned it, and have just started trying to troubleshoot. Is this a switch problem? A router setting problem? Tia. I have another non-PoE switch that seems to work OK when I connect it in place of the 1005P.

re: Benelli or Beretta?

Posted by turkish on 1/9/26 at 8:44 am to
I have both. If you want a lifetime shotgun, Benelli. If you want to use it until the stock starts dissolving and then have no parts available to fix it, Beretta. Benelli will stand behind their product. Beretta will not. With that said Beretta’s mechanics are fantastic — their furniture is a liability.

I know of a couple near Vicksburg that tried it for awhile. They couldn’t keep up with the doe quota, so they’ve gone back to rifles.
