I’m trying to track down a frozen food I remember eating around 2014–2016.
It was sold at Grocery Outlet in Pennsylvania and was a single-serve frozen item, individually wrapped, similar to a frozen burrito or Hot Pocket.
What I remember:
About 5–6 inches long

Oval/oblong shape

Frozen and microwaveable

Had a nice loafy, soft white-bread exterior — not a pastry, pita, or tortilla

The bread completely enclosed the filling

Filling was minced/ground meat + cheese

I think “Polish” or something Polish/Eastern European was in the name or on the packaging

It was more substantial/loaf-like than a Hot Pocket

I’ve been trying to find this for years and haven’t had any luck. It may have been a discontinued product or a closeout item that Grocery Outlet carried.

Does anyone remember this product or know what it was called? Even a photo of the old packaging or a possible brand would be incredibly helpful!

We must be getting close! I have an email acknowledgement that says “Please refrain from contacting us about the status of your application before August 30, 2026.”

Any updates from USDA employees?

I’m 27 years old making $106,000/year.

Current investments:
Employer 401(a): 14.2% (pretax) (~$15k/year)
Roth IRA: $7,500/year (max)
Brokerage: $9,600/year

Total invested: ~$32k/year (~30% of gross income)

Current investment breakdown:
Pretax (employer 401(a)): ~47%
Roth: ~23%
Brokerage: ~30%

I want to add another $500/month ($6,000/year).

Should I put it into:
Pretax 403(b)
Roth 403(b)
Brokerage

Would you prioritize increasing pretax contributions, Roth contributions, or taxable brokerage at this income level?

Trying to decide between three Vortex setups and could use some opinions from people who have looked through them side-by-side.

Option 1:

• Vortex Viper HD 3000 rangefinder
• Vortex Viper HD 12x50 binoculars
• Total: $820

Option 2:

• Vortex Ranger HD 3000 10x42 LRF binoculars
• Total: $600

Option 3:

• Vortex Fury HD 5000 LRF binoculars
• Total: $850

My main use is hunting and glassing in Utah. The thing that keeps pulling me toward the Viper setup is the 12x50 magnification. I like the idea of having dedicated binoculars and a separate rangefinder, and 12x seems like it would be a noticeable advantage for picking apart hillsides.

What I'm struggling with is whether the Viper HD glass is enough better than the Ranger HD or Fury HD LRF binoculars to justify carrying two devices and spending more money.

Appreciate any firsthand experience.

I’m looking for alternatives to the Revic EXO MOA Extreme Sight for my Christensen Evoke Hunter .308. I really like the concept of a precision-adjustable peep sight that mounts to a Picatinny rail, but the price is hard for me to justify.

My rifle already has a Picatinny rail, and I’d prefer to avoid permanent modifications if possible. I’m interested in a traditional hunting-style peep/aperture sight setup rather than AR-style flip-up sights.

A few questions:

What are the best alternatives to the Revic EXO?

Are there any quality Picatinny-mounted peep sights that offer good adjustability?

Has anyone found a good front sight solution for a sporter-weight barrel without drilling and tapping?

My goal is a durable hunting setup that can make accurate shots farther than typical iron-sight distances without spending Revic money.

I’d appreciate any recommendations, photos, or examples of similar bolt-action builds.

I have a factory Tikka T1x MTR 20” .22LR and want to add an ARCA rail for bipod use.

Looking at the Area 419 ARCALOCK kits and debating between the 12” and 14” rail kits. However, I am not sure if that is too long.

Any tips?

I found a black Geissele Super Duty Mod116 inch Complete Upper $1,189 brand new. Good deal or no?

I already run a 10mm pistol for backcountry carry (hiking / woods / “worst case scenario” gun).

I’m debating whether it actually makes sense to add a Springfield XD-M Elite 4.5” in 9mm for EDC, or if I should just simplify things and stick with one platform/caliber.

My thinking:

10mm = dedicated backcountry / woods gun

9mm = lighter recoil, cheaper ammo, higher capacity → better for EDC and training. (I have a lot of 10mm ammo so will train with both)

But part of me is wondering if I should just:

stay with one caliber and buy lighter / weaker 10mm loads for EDC, instead of splitting into 9mm + 10mm

So basically:

Do you guys run both 9mm and 10mm versions of the same platform, or is that redundant?

Or would you just stick with 10mm and tune ammo down for general use?

Curious what people who actually shoot both have settled on.
