Protect Your Pet As You Would Your Children

By

When you get sick, you have insurance to cover any medical problems that may persist. What happens when your pet gets ill? Those veterinary bills can be a heavy burden on the wallet that could end up costing you thousands of dollars that you weren’t expecting to spend. That is why pet insurance should be an option that is taken seriously. How does pet insurance work (more on that on djurförsäkring)? Is it cut in dry? Or is it as difficult to understand as health insurance is?

Here are a couple of ways that pet insurance works and why it could be a great benefit to you and your pet.

 

What Are The Fees?

With pet insurance (just as with health and car insurance) you pay a monthly fee to the insurance company. Roughly, the price you’re paying to the company is between $30 and $70 depending on what the coverage is and what they are willing to provide for your pet. While this may seem pricey, it could be the difference between paying thousands of dollars for surgery and being reimbursed for those sudden out of pocket costs.

 

What Do They Pay

Most companies have a clause that you cannot pick up pet insurance after your pet is already sick. You must pick up insurance before your pet has any emergency needs. They will require a vet appointment to mark down any pre-existing conditions that may be in play before signing up for insurance for your pal.

Once everything is complete and you’ve been paying for your pet insurance for a couple of months, you have full use of any emergency insurance that your pet may need. There is typically an annual cap as to what will be paid out by the insurance company. When you first take your pet for any sort of vet appointment there will be a small portion that you need to pay. This is a deductible, this means that a certain amount must be reached before the insurance takes over and begins paying their portion of the bills for your pet.

Pet insurance companies understand how much your pet means to you and they only want to provide you and your animals with the best treatment options possible. Be sure you familiarize yourself with what the insurance company covers and what they don’t, in the off chance that your pet needs something that is not covered by the insurance. Always make sure that you understand everything in the documentation provided and that you follow by all of the rules set forth by the insurance company. Pet insurance is a great idea for your pet and the best way to not have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket when those medical emergencies pop up and need attention.

Battle of the rifles: AR-10 Or AR-15?

By

Hello and welcome. Guns are, always have been, and always will be a hot topic of discussion. Whether you believe that every law-abiding citizen has the right to own deadly weapons be it for self-defense, hunting, or recreational range firing, or steadfast against their manufacturing and use, the impact that they and their inventors have imprinted upon all of our lives is undeniable.

The M9 Baretta, M16 and M4 assault rifles, M2HB Machine Gun, and the M240 Machine Gun amongst others. There was always a big debate on whether the AR series was more effective than the M series. According to the article on https://adventurefootstep.com/ar-10-vs-ar-15/ many of the avid AR supporters focused on the two main advantages of the weapon: Reliability and larger caliber ammunition.

AR-10

Developed in 1955 at the ArmaLite division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation by Eugene Stoner, the AR-10 assault rifle’s creation was to upgrade the firearms the United States Army by replacing the M1 Garand. The initial launch was far from a success and it wasn’t until 3 decades later that the weapon’s popularity took off when the AR-10B was marketed for the civilian and police use. The AR-10 is the also served as the basis for creating the AR-15 and M16 series assault rifles.

 

Specs

  • Length: 1016mm-1050mm (40-41.3 inches)
  • Barrel Length: 508mm (20 inches)
  • Weight: 3.29-4.31 kg (7.25-9.5 lbs.) w/o magazine or sling
  • Action: Direct Gas Impingement
  • Caliber: 7.62mm
  • Magazine: 20 rounds
  • Rate of Fire: 700 rounds per minute
  • Muzzle Velocity: 845 m/s (2772 ft/s)
  • Effective Firing Range: 600m (656yds)

 

AR-15

Developed in 1956 by Eugene Stoner, Jim Sullivan and Bob Fremont, Colt bought the manufacturing rights from ArmaLite in 1959 making the AR-15 a registered trademark of Colt. Only Colt and Colt licensees may legally manufacture official AR-15 assault rifles. The series of assault rifles is one of the most popular around the world. And while the AR-15 is mainly manufactured and utilized in the United States they are also highly popular in Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and the Ukraine. Modern AR-15’s are highly versatile with many options for caliber, barrel length, upper receivers along with many other features.

Specs

  • Length: 1006mm (39.6 inches)
  • Barrel Length: 508mm (20 inches)
  • Weight: 2.2-3.9 kg (5.5-8.5 lbs.) w/o magazine or sling
  • Action: Direct Gas Impingement
  • Caliber: 5.56mm
  • Magazine: 20 or 30 rounds
  • Rate of Fire: 800 rounds per minute
  • Muzzle Velocity: 975 m/s (3,200 ft/s)
  • Effective Firing Range: 550m (600yds)

The tale of the specs reveal which AR variations excel in what categories. The advantages of the AR-15 are its interchangable parts, light weight, higher rate of fire and round velocity, while the AR-10 has better range and because of a larger round, better stopping power. So as to the question of which one is superior it really depends on the weilder. That being said the AR-15’s interchangeability would seem to give it a slight advantage in the comfort sector. In the end try each weapon out for yourself is the best option to find which one suits you best!

What is a herb grinder and what can you use it for?

By

Did someone just give you a herb grinder and tell you it grinds all kinds of herbs? Are you not sure what you would actually use it for?

 

If this sounds like you, you may be surprised to know a typical herb grinder has several uses beyond just for grinding your marijuana stock.

 

Yes, it grinds your marijuana — The main reason most people have a herb grinder is because it is used to grind their marijuana stash.

 

Many marijuana users do not like trying to cram coarse marijuana into a cigarette paper, or into a pipe, as it then becomes difficult to smoke. That is why they use a herb grinder to make the herb easier to manipulate.

 

Some also like to mix their marijuana into food stuffs like breads, cakes and brownies. This is also much easier to do, and allows it to be mixed more evenly into food, if the marijuana is ground in a herb grinder first.

 

Yes, it can be used to prepare food — Do not be fooled into believing a herb grinder is only for marijuana, however, as it can be used for just about any herb or spice you would use in cooking as well.

 

So much so, some people use a herb grinder every time they make any pizza, Italian dish or meat, fish or chicken dish. You can do the same with the herb grinder you now own.

 

Using your herb grinder for pizzas — One dish many people use their herb grinder for is pizza. After all, there is nothing nicer than a pizza with a bubbling cheese topping and loaded with flavorful herbs and spices.

 

Decide which herbs you want to use on your next pizza, put them in your herb grinder and grind them up into a much finer substance. You can then sprinkle this onto your cheese topping before the pizza goes in the oven. This will allow the cheese to absorbe the herbs easier than if the mixture was more coarse, and thus absorb the herb flavor as well.

 

Using your herb grinder for fish — While some fish is quite tasteless if you do not add herbs to it, with the right ground herb it can be wonderful.

 

Consider grinding herbs like chives, tarragon, basil, bay leaves, dill and parsley onto your next fish dish, and you will not believe how lovely the fish now smells and tastes.

 

Just be sure not to swamp the fish with too many herbs from your herb grinder, and the natural flavor will be beautifully enhanced.

 

Grinding herbs into vegan dishes — Vegans love dishes like vegetable soups, tofu stews, chili, vegan pasta sauces and other vegetable, fruit, bean and grain-based meals.

 

While they are often flavorful in their own right, if you grind some of your favorite herbs into any one of these dishes, the herbs will bring the natural flavors of the food out even more.

 

In other words, it is not just marijuana that can make a custom wholesale grinder useful to own.
