    GOP congressman wants to remove 4 dams to save Idaho’s salmon

    A fundamental factor in most of these decisions is Nimby-ism. It's easy to make decisions that won't affect you personally. See nearly every example of ballot box biology and most examples of ballot box climate control.

    GOP congressman wants to remove 4 dams to save Idaho’s salmon

    I can't offer anything of value relating to fish, or water, but I'm pretty familiar with power markets. The link @HighCountryCommando posted does indeed show an analysis indicating that hydropower is "projected" to be much more expensive, but they're rolling in assumptions to make their...

    Coffee at home

    Similar in purpose I suppose, but this doesn't make your teeth fall out.

    Brewing Beer

    Between kids and life I haven't brewed much recently. I always struggled with having 5 gallons of the same beer. Somewhere in there I'd get bored with it and want something different. I also discovered it was killing my sleep quality... I've found it much easier to just go pick up a good sixer...

    Coffee at home

    I had a manual one for a while, it didn't get used nearly as much because I had to get it out, heat some water up, etc. There's something about coffee immediately.

    Free Beer in Idaho Falls, ID

    My relocation for a new job in Idaho Falls finally got approved so we've leaving the greater Denver area and heading west - current ETA is mid March. I'd love to buy some folks in Idaho a beer to get the lay of the land in that region, when I started here in Colorado I went out with some locals...

    Coffee at home

    We've got a system. Everything starts with green beans from Sweet Marias, my roaster started out life as a heavy gauge stainless whirly pop, but over the years I've added a motorized stirrer and augmented the heat with a heat gun. It'll do about a pound at per batch and we go through about two...

    The swamp provides

    Boy those are some pretty birds. We're moving out to the snake river soon and I'm hopeful I can get back into some waterfowl hunting.

    Which one of you bastards . . . .

    Speaking of quality dairy, if you're looking for insight into what makes Tillamook dairy tick you can check out Derrick Josi he is far more entertaining than myself. Then when you're ready to season something Jacobsen Salt is right down the road.

    Which one of you bastards . . . .

    How nice of you to help them out. It's a shame what they have to do to move that stuff.

    6.8 Western

    I wonder about hunters "embracing long range" and it being a problem. Depending on where you're at, just finding a critter at 300+ yards (let alone 500+) can be quite challenging. Then, hitting one at all at that range, in a field position, requires pretty reasonable shooting skills. It's...

    6.8 Western

    For those confused about the polymer ammunition I believe this is what is being referenced: https://www.tvammo.com/ The next generation squad weapon is supposed to be based on a 6.8 mm and there are a few competitors - the other notable is the sig .277 fury.

    The great chukar quandary

    If you don't need the meat - you need the hunt, go hunting. Even if you come back empty handed you got what you came for.

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    Sounds good, I was impressed how different the V8's were between the Toyota, Chevy, Nissan and Ford, I'm sure it's also a function of the transmission and gearing, but I had expected it to feel more similar than they were.

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    Sounds like you're in the right track - I would encourage you to drive all the truck/engine/transmission combos you can. I completed that exercise when I picked up mine and was very surprised how different they all were. I figured I could just do the internet research and they would all be...

    Browning X-bolt w/muzzle break: seeking reviews

    If you've got the 243 for practice, why worry about the recoil? Reason being is that if they're both X-bolts with similar controls and ergonomics than there isn't much different in the technique - so you won't need to practice a bunch with the big cartridge. My intention for my next rifle...

    savage 110 ultralite

    I totally agree, I'm dithering over rifle selection right now but 280AI keeps popping up as the best choice for the do everything round. The wrinkle I'm currently working on I'm planning on doing matching rifles - one in .223 for practice and one in my hunting caliber, but depending on...

    savage 110 ultralite

    Thats the point, of course they would all work, but we could have a multi page argument with calculations, data, anecdotes, and lots of condescending before we come to that conclusion. Jeez man, don't spoil it, Christmas is almost here.

    Busted Axe

    Just grind it slow and keep it cool with water. You could damage the temper if you get it super hot, but as long as you're careful you'll be fine.
