Looks like the talks of the ‘Framework Agreement’ to merge with the PGA Tour have all but died.

Ontario is in California.
I have TS//SCI//SAP clearance and visit PNT about once a month for meetings.
I’m still required to have an escort to even watch me take a piss.
Why should the media be exempted?

That’ll buff right out.
Yup.
About a decade or so ago, the major OEMs like Doyo, Daiwa, and Shimano thought it would be a good idea to move low-to-mid tier reel manufacturing to China.
Now China has everything thing they need to copy parts, manufacturing, etc. to sell ‘decent enough’ copies on Temu or AliBaba.

Im a member at Reunion. Day in/day out, it’s in the best all around shape in the area.
Course is pretty boring though except a few holes and practice area/driving range is pretty meh.
I like Annandale’s layout the best but that course gets in pretty bad shape several times during the year. But when it’s in primo shape, easily my favorite.
CCJ has amazing greens and best practice area/driving range, but extremely boring layout.

When I switched from private to federal, a longtime Navy veteran at my private place of employment told me two things:
1) Get your clearance as high as possible
2) Get as close to the warfighter as possible
Those two things have always kept me safe during all the shenanigans. Currently, still working on 2 year funding but will more than likely have to keep working once that runs out.

So 0.08% of their owners net worth.
How will they ever survive the next 8,000 years.

re: Ryder Cup - Day 3 Results EU 14 - US who cares. Europe retains the cup

So many times I’ve watched an awful US performance in a Ryder cup. I often walk away thinking that’s the worst performance I’ll ever see by a US team. Somehow, they get worse.
LRASM’s main weakness is range. Which is what the follow on program, HALO, was supposed to address.
We would prefer our standoff distance to be much longer than what LRASM requires.

Well of course... now it all make sense.
Another poster said hypersonics.
I responded to that post with my reasoning as to why I would be surprised if it was hypersonics related because most of those programs either went to another contractor, got cancelled, or were many years into development already.
I then ended the post with what I thought the announcement was about instead of hypersonics.
They lost HACM. HALO was cancelled. ARRW isn’t a go again for sure yet. LRHW isn’t worth a teaser vid at this point. And LRASM, while being shoved down the throat at $10M per, isn’t hypersonic.
My guess is it’s either X59, some low speed expendable, or the CCA thing being pushed by AF.

Hell, heavy compressible clothing - typically worn in extreme cold - can cause less-than-firm shouldering of the weapon and interfere with an inertia-driven system. That's a very common culprit.
I hear this a lot but have personally never experienced it. Layers of clothing and such actually helps inertia actions because rearward movement of the gun is what compresses the spring in the bolt. You can watch guys shoot Benellis upside down over their heads and they work fine. It’s putting inertia actions against a stiff surface, like a wall, that causes them to not cycle.

Moisture in the action, particularly when it starts to freeze up, slows down the action. It slows down any action, but Benellis don't have the same margin for error
This problem is 100% solved by switching to dry lubes.

I grab a Benelli 90% of the time. I grab something else when it's super cold.
No hate from me here. With two young kids, I don’t grab hardly anything anymore, unfortunately. But there was a time when I was a high volume registered NSCA shooter, wing shooter, and just generally more pleasant to be around altogether. I got well into the 100s of thousands of rounds and I put them through all the B guns, Z guns, and even a Guerini. None are perfect, some are better than others.

I’d love to hear the explanation of how cold weather knocks a bolt out of battery that isn’t viscous/friction related…
re: In the market for a new waterfowl shotgun. What do you like?
Posted by CFDoc on 9/14/25 at 8:44 pm to Longhorn Actual
Benelli click is when the bolt slightly rotates out of battery.
It can happen at any temperature.
If it’s happening to you in cold weather, it’s probably because you are cleaning the gun with a thick oil that gets gummy in cold temps.
Use a dry lube like hornady and temperature is pretty much irrelevant. The gun will shoot every time.

This.
I’m sitting in a 2016 Tundra with 250k miles. All I’ve changed is the oil every 5k miles.
It seems like every person I know with a new truck has been dealing with engine, transmission, electrical, etc issues that shouldn’t happen in new vehicles.
Now I’m coming up on the 10 year, I need a new truck, itch and I honestly don’t want a single thing the manufacturers have to offer.
