See the Turtle! Ain’t he keen!

Can we get The Black Sun while we’re at it?

It’s damned hard for a shotgun to end up useless. I restore old shotguns, have one from most decades starting in the 1890s. No matter how beat they were when they showed up, they worked just fine.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can’t go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can’t jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

If you’re American, you should pull the ejection seat lever.

Until very recently, Dubai was a desert wasteland with a few Bedouin roaming about. I’m not sure what I would expect for history or tradition.

The end of The Waltons.

“Goodnight John Boy.”

"How active you are in middle-age determines how active you will be able to be in old age. And that applies to any given decade of one’s life.

Meanwhile, on Lemmy, we got people whining about sore backs and knees once they turn 30.

Learned to throw my little cast net! Had it for years, never used it. The trick was watching videos on how to throw small nets. Don’t have a fishing license, no idea what I’ll do with this skill.

Y’all realize this is a bubble, right? I almost feel sorry for these investors, gonna have their ass handed to them in the coming decade.

We already have wild pigs.

Alien. Maybe my only 10 out of 10 movie, and not my favorite!

We’ve all seen it so many times it loses it’s luster. Wife had never seen it so I sat with her in the dark and watched it for the first time in decades. Jesus. She was about to tear through the couch cushion in stress. I knew what was going to happen and couldn’t peel my eyes off the TV.

Producing quality LEDs is a hella process. Producing shit LEDs is cheap.

There are several layers (7?) and a crack of a micron or three will suck the life out of it. Add to that shitty controllers and we get shitty LEDs. But they’re cheap!

I’ve got a couple of red LEDs that were made for the original IBM PC. They still work flawlessly.

“Look at you! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic, if you didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothing!”

I, uh…

Mostly agreed, but this is naive.

who are old, out of shape, delusional about their abilities

I’ll spare you all the anecdotes, but I’ve been around these people and most of them are no joke. They’re neither fat nor lazy nor stupid nor untrained. You only see the fat slobs in their Amazon gear because that’s who we like to make fun of.

Housing the homeless has been shown to work for a good percentage of folks. But no one wants to talk about where they are to go. And keep in mind, housing has to be in a city to provide job opportunities, access to counseling and social workers. Also, what about the ones for whom temp housing doesn’t/can’t lift them to their feet?

The ugly truth is that many (most?) are addicted to drugs or alcohol and/or suffer mental illnesses that often include antisocial behaviors. You want those types of people roaming your neighborhood? If you say you’re fine with that, you’re either lying or have never spent time around the homeless.

Worked downtown for 7-years and they were a constant hassle. One guy was pestering my wife and I told him to fuck off, about got jumped but his buddies didn’t look interested in backing him. Another guy wanted to fight me at lunch one day, in the middle of a huge crowd, because I told him, sorry, I don’t carry cash. On two occasions, same night, two guys got upset when I wouldn’t give them money and followed my wife and I through the French Quarter.

Aside from potential violence, they trash everywhere they go. At my last job, another downtown, the office was surrounded by liquor bottles and filth. And yes, there was more than one dumpster, like the one they slept next to.

Anecdotally, I knew two guys who had a clean place to stay and just said fuck it, living with people is too much pressure, rather live on the streets. What about people like them?

Feel sorry for them all you want, I do, but we have to figure out where to put this housing. One upbeat note, if you can call it that, many of today’s homeless are victims of our housing prices. Those are exactly the sort who just need a leg up and for whom free housing would work best.

Agreed. This is most likely just some people being doofy.

Blindsight and Echopraxia.

MS is not going to jack with Excel. It’s the one reason they sell so much Office, and arguably the only reason the product still exists.

How is it played? 3rd person?
