Just aaargh.
It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays...
It's also vey late. It is therefore most logical that I will
See you later.
Good night!
You're right. It is late! Eek...I hadn't noticed.
Ten more minutes...
Good night!
that's jest wrong... that's what you get when you live in a socialist workers paradise...
I'm very stupid and probably will get a lecture, but can you tell me what good the brass that guy is selling, is? Can you load it with stuff to make it go bang, since the disclaimer clearly states "no go bang"? What is its purpose, and is it really worth $12, or is that for the humorous listing?
You know how you suggested earlier I boil a pot of water to produce steam and help humidify things? Well, I thought it was a great idea but the steam just seemed to disappate before it got too far. Then I thought of my rice steamer! I can move that close to me, so I can keep an eye on it, and heck, it's designed to produce steam!
It remains to be seen whether this was a stroke of genius or idiocy...
The Rice steamer sounds great. We bought two slow cookers just for this purpose. We fill them up with water, and turn them on for a 10 hr. cycle, leaving the lid off. We just keep filling them up an turning them back on each night. It has helped somewhat, but we've got lots of square footage for those two little slow cookers. In your place, the rice steamer should do just fine!
Hi there... no lecture...
Brass casings do have value. How much that value is depends upon the type of casing it is. It could be pennies each or sizable fractions of a dollar each, depending on what it is, and how unusual or hard to find those cartridges are.
Yes, they can be reloaded with new powder, new bullets and new primers into perfectly useful new cartridges. In fact, when loading your own cartridges the most expensive part of the process is the brass. People that reload their own cartridges will definitely take the time to pick up any spent brass and collect it for reloading.
I have done a great deal of reloading, as has g'nad and I think winmag and osage, and probably plenty of others. Back when I was shooting hundreds of rounds of .357 a week it was worth it. A box of 50 new cartridges of .357 or .45ACP costs about $15 to $20 for name-brand stuff. But it only costs about $3 to $5 to buy the powder, bullets and primers for that same box of 50 if you reload them yourself in old brass.
It's working beautifully so far! I've got myself shut into my room, so even less space needed. Ah, it feels like I can almost breathe.
Thank you! It was a very funny auction, even if I wasn't sure what the product really was.
That said... three bucks a piece for 303 Enfield brass casings does strike me as a little spendy. Sure, its a fairly rare cartridge, but still...
The article is pretty funny though.
Maybe it's worth more in Australia?
Left handed. Left thumb on top.
Dunno what that means. :-)
Given that Australia has banned just about all guns... its probably pretty hard to find brass of any kind.
Glad to hear it. Don't forget to keep using the Vap-o-Rub, as well.
I write left handed. Play tennis left handed. Play baseball right handed. Golf right handed. Shoot right handed (right eye dominant). Hammer and saw with either.
I'm all messed up.
Wow, one forgets how good it feels to breathe properly...
If only I could leave it running all night, but the reservoir needs to be refilled every hour, it seems.
It's also an example of eBay-think, which is closely related to socialist-think.
Ebay has many strange policies, because it wants all items offered for sale to conform to all the weird California laws, even if the item never comes within 10,000 miles of California. No "martial arts" items. No 10+ magazines. Lots of restrictions on knives that are legal in all the other 49 states. And now, severe restrictions on what can be considered "assault weapon parts" like screws.
I probably could not sell my M16A1 upper on eBay today, although I could, and did, a few years ago.
Sounds like maybe there's a buck to be made in a site that caters to the gun trade.
Hmmm...
