The end is here

I'm low on my 5.56 and 9mm ammo, need to restock.
I do my best to keep 2500 rounds of 9mm and .45. I keep 2000 of 12 gauge from #8 thro 00. I’m positive I have 10k + in .22. I just bought 2 AK’s in 5.56 but have no ammo yet. I try to keep at least 5 guns that will shoot each caliber round. I have more than I can keep track of at times. The last time I did an inventory list for insurance purposes the agent looked at me like I was some kind of militia freak.

My brother told his local fire chief that if his house ever caught fire to run like hell and get behind something solid 😂!

  • As if the coronavirus plague isn’t terrifying enough, the Earth will cross paths with a planet-destroying asteroid this Saturday.
  • It’s larger than the tallest building on Earth, and big enough to trigger a major impact event, nuclear winter, and mass extinctions.
  • NASA has officially classified the planet killer as a “Potentially Hazardous Asteroid” (PHA). It will miss by just 0.038 astronomical units.
In a recent poll, a majority of New Hampshire Democrats said they’d rather a meteor extinguish all human life on Earth than Donald Trump win reelection. Just 36% of Democrats held their nose and picked Trump over the end of humanity.
The other 64% said bring on the meteor!

Well, the Giant Meteor 2020 crowd could get their wish.
As if the worsening coronavirus pandemic isn’t terrifying enough, NASA says a giant, “potentially hazardous asteroid” will cross within 0.038 astronomical units of Earth.
The asteroid has a diameter of 3,250 feet. That’s bigger than the tallest building on Earth – the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It will cross Earth’s path this Saturday at 6:05 am EST.
The giant space object is simply named “163373 (2002 PZ39).” It’s what astronomers call an “Apollo” asteroid. These are asteroids with a path that crosses Earth’s orbit.

I’d like to convey Little 8’s size to the wife in astronomical units because it will sound more impressive. Could you please convert one inch to astronomical units? I can easily do the remaining math myself.

Thanks in advance.

My Wife gave me this Henry .45 long for Xmas, sweet and very accurate rifle. I shot close to 1000 rounds with it since.

Definition of astronomical unit. For general reference, we can say that one astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the Earth and our sun. An AU is approximately 93 million miles (150 million km). It’s approximately 8 light-minutes.

More exactly, one astronomical unit (AU) = 92,955,807 miles (149,597,871 km).

so you're saying Bernie and Joe are one AU from reality? :LOL:

I restrict my calibers to .357 mag, .308, and .22- it's easier to have lots of three and keep the inventory simple. I'm with you on .22s- have LOADS of them on hand and have four rifles and a revolver in .22 caliber.
