“Shoveling sand against an incoming tide” reminds me of being assigned to moat dredging duty by my nieces, building sandcastles on a tropical beach . Great sport, but of course futile.
Great mental image on this January evening surrounded by so much snow here in Canada’s North
My punctuation peeve = .25-‘06 or .30-‘06 ‘06 is obviously a contraction of 1906, Also , as a corrolary, why isn’t .270 Win known as .270-‘03, and similarly .280 Rem as .28-‘03 ?? Now that's getting deep right there. Yup, Piled Higher and Deeper. ;-) Rem 700 KS, 6.5-280 AI w/ 2-10 x 50 FFP Illum. What could be simpler ? Confusion comes from parsing out the Zoom range ( 2x - 10x = 5x ) Cheers Um, no - it's -8x No, 338rules is right. 10 divided by 2 is 5, not 8. The base magnification is 2x and the zoom factor is 5X, which takes the base magnification of 2X to the max of 10X. An 8X zoom would take a 2X to 16X.

I have a hot water heater. Except for when it was new, the water in it is always hot. It just makes the, mixed with cool water, hotter. Some of these will get me, But then I remember, Being far from perfect, I make mistakes also. So you heat hot water again? The water runs around 140F. When you run hot water, it's replaced by cool. But the water mixes somewhat as it runs in, so it's still warm/hot. The element brings it up to the 140 set point. So, yeah. I've got "hot" water, and it makes it hotter. We are arguing semantics, so we can split the hair however it suits our boat floats.😉

The hyphen in the Zoom ratio denotes a range of magnifications : HiX / LoX = ZoomRatio Interestingly, Exit pupil diameter = Objective Lens Diameter / Selected Magnification So from our example scope 2 - 10 X 50 , the Objective lens diameter is 50 mm, And at 2X Exit Pupil. = 50 / 2 = 25 mm. ; at 10 X Exit Pupil = 50 / 10 = 5 mm Clear as Mud

We were doing Algebra, dude. 2x minus 10x is negative 8x. You were too busy trying to prove me wrong that you failed to see the Alebra class taking place. Pay attention! 😉

It just pulls cold water into a completely empty friggin tank and heats it!

With two teenage daughters, I’d invest in an inline on-demand heater on the warm/hot water outlet line of the hot water tank.
Run the tank a little cooler for economy, and charge the girls by the minute of hot water consumption !
Let me know how it works out, I have 2 teen boys . ;-)

I can see I hit a nerve with some of y'all. The truth sometimes burns strong, doesn't it. Here is an unfortunate truth. Those on this site that attempt to emulate the resident bag of dicks, but don’t even do a very good job of it, are sad and unfortunate people. There are far better examples in life than the ones they are following.

triggernosis: I think the sounds of your own wheels has made you crazy! In deference to you, or in spite of you, I will continue to express scope descriptions as I have for more than half a century now (as do most knowledgeable gun types I know) thusly = Leupold 6.5x20, 3x9, 2x7, 4x12 etc etc etc! Sheesh. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

So you go right ahead with your spiteful ignorance. 😉
