  • War. War never changes.

  • Deep south born and raised, it's changed in the last twenty years, but guns used to be a fun tool. Most people owned long guns with much fewer handguns. Guns were for hunting, varmint management, and plinking. City folk don't really get it. Shotgun in the corner of the living room is normal.

    I have an acquaintance from West Virginia that is similar. They're also a non-binary, super queer, sexually sadistic top. We met in the BDSM community.

  • Trump administration starts to panic over rapidly rising oil costs

  • $4.99 for 100ea on Etsy, showing as a 'hot' item and bestseller. I doubt we'll see them in the quantities we saw the Biden stickers but it's pretty funny.

  • Trepanning is back, baby! NSFL warning. Dude has his friends help him dremel a hole in his skull so he can like totally open his third eye or release the demon chakras or whatever.

    Can't find it, but there was an interview where someone talked about poking their meninges with a metal rod and having a 'spiritual experience' or something. Also, bong rips feeling bubbly in the skull hole.

  • You dirty rat. You put that under the spoiler tag to sucker me into looking at that unholy thing.

    I should not have clicked. It could have been something nice like tubgirl or goatse.

  • It's an old saying, longer version I know is:

    "Saddest thing in the world is a cat scratching at the window because it used to be an inside cat."

  • The meaning of life?

  • After a foray into consulting and plant management, I'm back in the shop working with my hands and programming. My favorite part of the trade is teaching kids. (Enough grey in my beard that anyone under 30 is a kid). I could make more money doing other things but I don't need the stress.

    I hope I'm able to work until I die, even if I 'retire'. I've begun learning Blender and mixing it with CAD so that I can do sculpture.

    I love the smell of black cutting oil.

  • Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI:

  • Skinner's glare of disdain would have flayed the flesh from his bones. It would have been a Monster of the Week episode. Mulder would actually help with the coverup and chalk it up to a one time involuntary psychic event. Scully would have cocked her head, pursed her lips, squinted, and said, "hmph."

  • Lead shot for waterfowl hunting has been banned in the US for a few decades. It's still used for upland bird hunting. I think it's still frequently used illegally for waterfowl.

    Not an expert, but have a decent layman's understanding. Could totally be wrong about the next part:

    It's my understanding that lead contamination of wild animals through hunting primarily occurs due to various sizes of bird shot. The greater surface area allows a much higher level of contamination. It also forms lead dust in the shell from friction and when fired. It's also easier for animals to eat it. Rifle rounds and slugs are fairly inert as the larger size prevents most consumption and less absorption when it is consumed.

  • My guess is that migratory waterfowl eat lead shot when 'grazing' the bottom of wetlands. This bio-concentrates the lead in eagles when they prey on ducks and such.

  • ICE agents keep accidentally shooting themselves

    Jump

  • Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I've heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.

  • Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president
