      @@Azraiel213a young man can accomplish this with the advice the nuns in school gave us: "God gave you two ears and one mouth so you listen twice as much as you talk".
      People HEAR, but they don't LISTEN. youth have it bad since they live in someone else's world (their parents', etc) and are trying to claim their place inside it. so they show off too much when they should be watching, listening, and learning.
      if you can learn the tool of listening without showing any signs of judgment, strangers will often stop with the BS designed to impress and begin unburdening themselves and telling you what they've done. You can learn through their experiences and then try another solution when you are in their shoes.
      The next tool is to learn not WHAT happened, nor HOW it happened...but WHY. figure out human nature, and you figure out what drives people. you can begin to predict their future reactions to situations that haven't happened yet.
      and yes, it's also good to experience. people see life as a spectator sport. don't buy your way out of problems, don't rely on friends and family...try to solve it yourself. knowledge comes from a book, but it also comes from experience. wisdom is knowing how to apply knowledge, and that usually isn't taught from a book. what worked for the author may not work for you.

      Everyone is trying to sell something. If you can't figure out what they are selling...they're selling you (like signing up for a free raffle--they're selling your contact info). When you can see past the sales pitch, you start figuring out what's really going on. but sometimes people are still too ego-centric to really see what's going on. they want the universe to make sense, to care about right and wrong.

      He was very good in the role and even though his scene was only 5 minutes, it was pivotal for the whole movie.
      Unfortunately, in hollyweird, most action movies and the actors in them, never get recognized, even though these are the movies that make most of the money.
      For at least the last 10 years, super hero type movies are the highest grossing, yet nobody gets an Oscar nomination. In the rare instances that it does happen, the category will be for something like CGI.

    For the longest time, I always wondered why he was touching their palms and suddenly it clicked in my head. Helm is a gunsmith with a legendary knowledge of firearms and weapons training so it would make sense that he's checking their palms for callouses; when he lightly slaps Memphis' hand, he could immediately tell he was a bit green being a junior FBI agent and when Swagger mentioned he met the man in the wheelchair, Helm quickly grabs his palm and digs his fingers into the upper part of his palm. Upon feeling just how calloused and textured it was, he knew right away just how much experience he had and even his rank.
    Fuck, this move gets even better on repeat viewings.

These facts were buried for years by people (apparently Bush haters) in the American intelligence community. This story was broken by a left-wing newspaper, the New York Times.

      to a point, yes. I used to have a coworker raised by a Marine Sniper who went on to become a machinist for the aerospace industry. Poor kid was taught only one way to do everything--perfect. I had to teach him to triage, pick out what tasks needed to simply be done, what had to be perfect (which was very little) when was "perfection the enemy of the good", and that sometimes, "how you got the job done" was less important than, "did you get the result?".
      but there are some good points, like the red book. the gunsmith knows exactly where it is because when he's done with his tools, he puts them back where they belong, not just where it's convenient. i've watched plenty of "shade tree mechanics" waste time looking for the right tool for the job because they just put it down someplace--and often as not give up and then half-ass the job with the wrong tool.

    I still like Shooter as a film. Though I do recommend reading Point of Impact (the book Shooter is based on). It's about 3 hours but worth the listen. It was written and published in the 1990s so there are a few differences. I'd say over all the book makes a lot more sense than the movie just because you get more details that didn't make it to the silver screen.

    RIP Levon Helm I knew the words for most of The Band’s songs before I was in kindergarten
    Virgil Kane is the name
    And I served on the Danville train
    'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
    And tore up the tracks again
    In the winter of '65
    We were hungry, just barely alive
    By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
    It's a time I remember, oh so well
    The night they drove old Dixie down
    And the bells were ringing
    The night they drove old Dixie down
    And the people were singing
    They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"
    Back with my wife in Tennessee
    When one day she called to me
    "Virgil, quick, come see,
    There goes Robert E. Lee!"
    Now, I don't mind chopping wood
    And I don't care if the money's no good
    You take what you need
    And you leave the rest
    But they should never
    Have taken the very best
    The night they drove old Dixie down
    And the bells were ringing
    The night they drove old Dixie down
    And all the people were singing
    They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"
    Like my father before me
    I will work the land
    And like my brother above me
    Who took a rebel stand
    He was just 18, proud and brave
    But a Yankee laid him in his grave
    I swear by the mud below my feet
    You can't raise a Kane back up
    When he's in defeat

    You would do this with a separating plastic sabot these days, not paper. I also don't think paper would prevent the different rifling from engraving the fired bullet. The discarding sabot would. It would be a sub caliber projectile so you'd have to set up your zero and holdovers for that specific round.
    I have recovered fired bullets, reloaded them, and fired them through the same gun. It works fine. The projectile has to be in good shape though.

    Miss Levon… one of the best. Who knew he was a great actor too… true talent. The best always go too soon.

      And he said it with a bit of joy, like he was telling kids a story of how the evil villain in the story was beaten and ran away

    One of the most indepht scenes in a movie ever. Lotta truth exposed in a few minutes. Movies expose alot of the past and the future if you know what to look and listen too.

    I think I'm pretty hard core but I'm lost on the hand slap. Anyone know what that meant? Feeling for callouses to see you work the tool?
