    Whatever puts joy in your eyes.

    Maybe you see them more beautiful because the racial mixing here is very low. Bulgarian women rarely marry outside. Bulgarian men probably marry outside more. Like, I know a Bulgarian guy that married an Indian from South America, some Native to Peru. How's that for an interracial marriage. And Turks are mixed with Arabs, that's why they are dark. Romanian women are pretty similar to Bulgarian since we share a lot of DNA strings, a hell of a lot, and a common dressing style, et cetera. Greeks are also similar, but they are too darker. They're south, sun hits them more. It's a "sun thing" with them mostly.

    Miss Crocodile Bulgaria has eight hundred plastic surgeries and she's still a Croc. Too bad I don't have a Croc emoticon. That would've been posted in her honor.

    It's not emblematic for Europe, that is for sure. The Old West was in only one place. Australia's Outback was somewhat similar but NEVER in that scale. Low population, Australia. And different core values. And surely no Colt, no Smith & Wesson and no ol Jamie Bowie.

    P.S. emblamatic < emblematic

    Take care.
    Thanks.

    * North America was not settled by naked immigrants.
    * Ferrari has more horsepower than any American Ford ... Mustang or otherwise.
    * American weapons are made to kill people ..... not free them.

    The world's fastest production vehicle 0-60mph time is ... you got it right. The Dodge DEMON. Factory stock Dodge that is. Quarter-mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. And there's even a faster Demon, the HPE1000. For comparison, The latest ultracars from McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari can manage ‘only’ 9.8 seconds lol.

    Here's a snippet for your Ferrari: Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the world's fastest quarter-mile production car, has an 840-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine. Zero to sixty in 2 seconds. That's a bike killa, my friend. No Ferrari can match that animal.

    Bite the dust, Ferrari.

    And no, American guns are actually saving lives.

    Don't forget CZ in Czech Republic and SIG in Germany though.

    CZ is a joke. The quality and specs of the CZs are lower than the HS Croatia for example (HD is sold in the US as Springfield XD). I shot a few CZs, held them in my hand, went with H&K USP.

    Now there's double stacked 1911s chambered in .45 and better in 10mm Auto. That's a friken hand cannon. The the quality is top notch. I'll think twice about the H&K USP if I have a DS 1911 on the table.

    SIGs newer models are a joke. Can't compare.

    I love my CZ 97B double stacked 45ACP.

    I count on it every day with my life in my job.

    How do you cope with that super small slide release?

    In professional training you are taught not to touch the slide release.

    You are taught to aggressively grab the slide and pull it back like a man and then let it go.

    And by the way, know what I like on the USPs and P30s? The mag release in embedded into the trigger guard. You can't accidentally release the mag. If you fall down, or if you're fighting, if your gun is pushed toward your body, the mag can drop out, with most pistols. That's what I like on the H&Ks. SIGs and 1911s and other pistols don't have that. Walther PPS incorporated it, which was a smart decision.

    Not a man's thing. A bad and inefficient thing.

    1. Adrenaline. You can forget to simply release the slide, and walk it forward. Then a round is gonna jam.
    2. Overall movement required. You have to release your hand from the weapon, grip the slide and pull it rear, and get a new grip. This is a lot of movement.

    When using the slide release, you also have the advantage of requiring only one hand to utilize while staying almost on target.

    In the supermarket no, at home always. I never went to a house were the eggs are stocked outside of the fridge, excepted in some farms where they have tons of eggs and fresh places like cellar.

    I was that way for a while. I'm still not a big fan of scrambled eggs. My personal favorite is over easy, meaning fried on both side, but the yolk left runny. I'm not the biggest fan of soft boiled eggs, but love hard-boiled eggs.

    Our eggs are always in the fridge - until we eat them.

    Have to in the US unless you raise chickens. The cleaning process in the industrial agriculture system strips the protective coating off eggs in America. I theory you can paint melted butter on them to extend their shelf-life but that would cost you as much as the eggs.

    This thread got dragged up from the basement!

    I’ve wondered why we don’t have to refrigerate eggs when we get them from friends with chickens. They definitely taste better.

    I raise my own chickens and collect eggs regularly. I just rinse. If you wash them you have to refrigerate them. They also last longer without washing them.
