    Calling all geeks! Printer acting up

    I have an Epson 2700 eco-tank that’s about five years old. The counter says it’s run about 3500 sheets. It’s starting to do this thing where it stopped in the middle of a job, spits out a blank sheet of paper, and locks up. It’s also cutting the top off of many pages when I print. There doesn’t...

    Anybody recognize the make of this bullet?

    Just bought three boxes of these from midway. Factory seconds .284“ - 150 grain plastic tipped boat tail. It’s the one with the dark green tip. They look a little bit like TGK‘s. Posed next to a 150 gr ELD-X for comparison. Just wondering what bullet I should use for load data to build a...

    Pigeon with leg bands.. What to do?

    I found this guy lying next to my driveway. Appears to be an every day pigeon. Believe it was killed by a Cooper’s hawk. That’s pretty common in my neighborhood. I was going to throw it in the trash, then I saw these bands on its leg. Anybody know what they mean or if I should do anything about...

    You guys Who work in the petroleum distillation industry…I have a can laying around doing nothing. Is it exactly the same as Coleman fuel? Or does it have some strange additives that will gunk up my orifices. I’m thinking about using it in an MSR dragonfly.

    Katadyn Vario Filter cartridge – did I ruin it?

    I’ve been using the Katahdin Verio filter pump for years and I really like it. Occasionally I take the whole thing apart and soak it in a kind of heavy Clorox solution. Say 2 tablespoons per gallon. Including the ceramic filter and pleated filter. I didn’t realize that the pleated filter is...

    Restoring 15 year old trex decking

    I need to redo my deck. I came into about 1000 sq ft of “old school” trex decking 1.5” x 5.5”. For free. It’s sat in the sun and snow up at Lake Tahoe for about 15 years and the surface is now about like 200 grit sandpaper with some sparkly stuff that I think is probably a fiberglass binder...

    General effects of 1-11 barrel twist on pressure and velocity

    I’m relatively new to reloading. It’s my understanding that most 30 cal Tikka barrels have a 1-11 twist and I’m pretty sure that’s true for mine. In contrast to “standard“ for 30-06 at 1-10 twist. I’ve loaded a few different powders and bullets to find what my T3x in 30-06 might like, and...
