Timmy, I'm crushed that you gave me a "like" and then removed it. You fickle, fickle man.

tried changing it to a laugh then when I refreshed it wasn't there and I'm lazy.

I appriciate your effort both to score me a blade and curb my enthusiasm.

considering the circumstances it's better that you didnt score anything for me.

I'm pretty enthusiastic about how I see the world outside of my own experiences.

Thanks

In for one in the recommended natural micarta.

Edit by Nate: standard basic natural micarta or the VIP natural micarta that I recommended? They're both natural. I think I recommended the VIP. It's a pretty nice material, I really like it. But for all practical considerations, the standard natural is pretty much just as functional and it is a cost savings.

We call it VIP because that stands for Vintage International Paper. The company name is International Paper, they're the ones that bought the micarta process from Westinghouse. It's confusing though because this is not paper micarta, International Paper is the manufacturer name. And so we call it VIP.

Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist , ^ friend of mine. Standard basic natural micarta unbuffed. He already emailed Jo.
 
BTW; yes, I’m pedantic.

CPK has Sales, and Pre-orders.

There is no Pre-sale. Pre-sale, is when everyone is waiting at their computers and phones, right before 3pm Eastern Time.

Back in my auto racing days, the similar one that bugged me, was detonation, and pre-ignition.

There’s no pre-detonation.
Detonation = the fuel air combo explodes violently under heat and compression instead of normal combustion with a standard wavefront. It’s much more violent, and can break piston lands and rings.

Pre-ignition is when the fuel air mixture ignites before the spark from the spark plug is supposed to ignite it (usually from carbon buildup that retains a glowing ember). It’s like waaaaay advanced ignition timing, and this one bends connecting rods and breaks crankshafts, as the result is that the expanding gases are pushing down on the piston far too early in the cycle, as the piston is still rising on the compression stroke.

There is no such thing as pre-detonation. That would be the time before detonation occurs.

I wouldn't classify this as "politics".

The term "conspiracy theory" is a thought-terminating cliche.

At any rate, I won't continue on about it.

Well, you did posit that there's a shadowy group controlling the weather to grab land. If that's not a literal conspiracy theory I'm not sure what is... Maybe try presenting some proof next time if you take offense at people labeling your belief as such.
