If there is a box to check for a 12.7mm or M2 mount this may be worth it.

primer fired rounds
Watched a Banana Ballistics video about those. Seems like if you hit the rat in the eye he would just loose an eye. They were quiet though.
I can confirm that a CO2 powered semi auto .177 air rifle won't kill a 1 lb wood rat out right. They will die from internal injury later if you hit a soft spot though.

They have needed 2mil every election year since 1995 to get that done.
Also, is a C5 still best bang for buck for a performance car? 25-30 year old gm problems not withstanding.

There is no way to exit a low car and look cool.

Saw Jaws when I was 10 or so and to this day I don't swim in water I can't see the bottom of.

Probably because he was tired of listening to every person on Essen Lane bitch because they switched from community.
I talked to a couple guys who were in the jet with JB when he went ballistic on a phone call. They said that jet was never so small and their laptop never more important.
Like said before a bunch of folks have probably worked for Shaw and heard the stories.

This is not a bad one. Pulse ox works kind of sketchy but it's fine overall. I got a refurb about 3 yrs ago. Got a fenix 6 mainly for golf and realized it's terrible for that. Watch works well though.

I wear what gives me a chance to get out of the thing if it goes sideways. Jeans, closed toe shoe, long sleeve t. Folks in flip flops and pajamas weird me out.

Wasn't the LSU jet in Lubbock? Probably getting a copy of the venue contract so they have an idea of how many seedless grapes and diet Cokes to have on hand.
He will probably make them all government backed like a student loan and the prices will triple.

How would that compare to a power wall battery system? $80k worth of battery?

2008 or so I would visit food trucks when they were close to the office. This in BR. All of them were $12-$14 range. More than fast food place. Now a fast food place is $12 so I guess it's relative.

This is the root problem. A mid QB could be adequate. When you have 6 up there and a 3 man rush puts pressure on the QB that's not a QB problem.

Land? Continental divide. 10 or 11k?
At sea level? Made a rookie mistake and doubled up edibles on an Alaska cruise. That and trying to drink all the gin on the boat was a bad combo.

I think the real problem there is Tesla wasn't at those EV car meetings. That regime thinks the greater percentage of folks bought a Tesla because there wasn't a big 3 option available. They don't realize that Tesla has support and updates and is the better mouse trap in the EV world. Especially if you want to go somewhere other than around town.

I wouldn't assume the ER is in network even if the hospital is. That's what's really BS about it.
I'm not mad at this. Just make sure the videos are in landscape for the aisle takeovers.

What happens legally in this instance if the homeowner starts shooting?
No warrant, wrong house, entering unlawfully, at night.
The cops shoot you, and they hope you die, then they control the narrative that they ID'd themselves BEFORE hitting the door and entering the home. You fired at known law enforcement. No body cam footage would be available. You become a nut job citizen because who shoots at cops?
If I was a cop I would serve a no knock warrant.
Edit: this should be wouldn't serve a no knock warrant.
