You sure you don't mean the "Copper Washed" stuff? Maybe I've never seen golden Bear in the wild? It would fool me!!
Not how it should be, but how it is...sage advice.
Sometimes people (all of us) let our normalcy bias take over and expect people who are narcissists, sociopaths/psychopaths, have mental health issues, dark triad folks, to act "normally." Not going to happen. We cannot control them and what can get us in trouble is expecting we can and they will respond rationally. These can quickly turn into dangerous situations.
I think the decimal point may have shifted over a few places because at $200 a pound, I'm rich!!!
Yeah, me too!I think the decimal point may have shifted over a few places because at $200 a pound, I'm rich!!!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!???
Wise advice in many areas of life. I have teenagers with licenses and wheels, and I tell them the same thing about driving. Someone cuts you off or does something otherwise aggressive, rude, or stupid? Get out of their way and let them go. Never react or get into it with some stranger on the road. Stay away from crazy.
The fight we won't win is in court. Considering that people who are collecting spent brass should be fully aware that they are approaching armed individuals (it IS a shooting range), they are probably armed as well. Even shooting someone who is armed, I'm sure in Oregon, will at best lose you your guns and probably land you in prison. My thoughts are, not only would I avoid engaging them and leave, but I'd probably find somewhere else to shoot. Sounds like these people are there at least as often as they're not there and I'd rather not put myself through having to deal with them. It seems like they have no trouble provoking people but shining lights on them, staring at them and generally just making them uneasy. It seems like they're trying to get a reaction, probably a negative one. Sounds like some hillbillies with loose screws if you asked me.
Or internet "pranksters", which should be a hanging offense in any jurisdiction...
Well usually people pranking people on the internet are trying to get views/likes and then turn that into a way of making money. I wonder if they think that's actually a viable way of getting paid.
I wasn't talking about your misspelling (brass vs. bras), although that's funny, too.
Dammit.
I'd be standing next to people about 3 ft to the right and a 1-2ft back with a bucket catching them things in the air for that price! .... and also for you know...environmental purposes and stuff...
This. Appearing civil and even friendly towards sketchy people has helped me to avoid worse encounters more than once. That's just an obvious tactic in an escalation of force as far as I am concerned.... least lethal, least likely to provoke an unwanted response, and least likely to involve law enforcement. I said hello to the van people the same way I would have said hello to any of you even though internally my response was NOT the same. They were polite to us and left us alone, even though they lurked until we left and made us quite uncomfortable by being there.
Comparing that price to another one posted earlier I think the correct price might be $1.95/lb
Yeah, I knew Mike was off by a factor of 100, but I just had to give him shiit for it. Cuz, yunno... just cuz...
Bidenomics saves you money because you won't be able to afford a car, a dishwasher, to turn on the heat/AC, or replace your water heater, your ceiling fans or your gas stove. They are only doing it for your benefit. I just wonder who is the person in the WH who pull on his puppet strings.Yeah, I knew Mike was off by a factor of 100, but I just had to give him shiit for it. Cuz, yunno... just cuz...
The last time I turned in spent brass up here was a coupla years ago, and I got only $1.76/pound back then.
Seems like everything is more expensive these days. Geez, I wonder why, what with Bidenomics saving us money every day...
Ditto this....
Cool heads prevail
