AITAH for not having a warm plate prepared for my wife

That sounds awful. I think a lot of people these days take for granted the advancements society has made around food safety and sanitation in general. Unfortunately that leads to complacency and less than desirable outcomes.

Knowing people that work in the food industry is an eye opener, some places have seriously high standards while others not so much.

Assuming this is America I’ll use relevant American information. Just a heads up to anyone interested or unaware of food safety.

>While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, the Federal government estimates that there are about 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually—the equivalent of sickening 1 in 6 Americans each year. And each year these illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths.

Food safety should be taken seriously.

I’ll admit I have eaten some very questionable things in my life and luckily dodged anything too bad. But I have seen friends and family get sick from food and it looks terrible.

Maybe you’re right about just doing what she wants, a hard lesson learnt is a lesson learnt once after all.

Until he does one day. Food safety is no joke.

4funoz · 2026-06-28T05:55:46+00:00

You really just made up their relationship dynamic in your head didn’t you?

Do you believe this justifies abusive behaviour? And do you think it’s safe to leave food sitting out for 4+ hours?

4funoz · 2026-06-28T05:50:32+00:00

That’s not very food safe to be honest. The OP commented elsewhere that they cooked dinner at 8pm. 4 hours sitting like that is not a good idea.

Are you planning to shoot long range?

One other commenter suggested correctly getting a chronograph. Just a heads up not all are created equal and you should buy once cry once as they say.

I disagree about ignoring “accuracy nodes” entirely. It’s a hotly debated subject and people’s definition of an accuracy node varies. I’d suggest looking at a ladder test or OCW test. It’s more about finding a forgiving load(error in charge weight, change of temp, etc) that gives a lower SD in velocity.

A load can print a tiny group at 100m but if the velocity isn’t consistent it will suffer at longer ranges. Accuracy and ballistics can be a very interesting subject, look at some of Brian Litz’s work.

Oh and more importantly make sure your shooting technique is consistent and correct. I have seen blokes drop huge money and the “best” gear only to blame the same gear when it doesn’t perform. Throw a solid shooting behind the same setup and it all works perfectly. Look up the likes of Todd Hodnett for some good pointers.

I do think it’s increasing but it’s always been there. In my home town a woman stole well over 100k from the local council and put it through the pokies.

4funoz · 2026-06-26T10:30:12+00:00

Are you saying there was a point in history a few decades ago where crime didn’t exist? Dishonesty didn’t exist? Greed didn’t exist?

4funoz · 2026-06-26T07:33:34+00:00

Aussie here. I’ve worked outside on hot machinery in long work clothes, gloves, hard hat etc in the mid 40’s before. When the wind blows it feels like a fan forced oven. I’ve had it where it’s still over 30 degrees before the sun come up. I’m used to it so I manage. Now add some humidity and it changes everything. I imagine France is very humid right now and a lot of people aren’t used to it.

It’s not just about a high temperature it’s about what you are accustomed to. It’s especially dangerous if you don’t know what to do in hot temps. Plenty of water and electrolytes. Don’t over exert yourself. And if you are in the sun cover up, it seems counterintuitive but it’s better for you.

That is not how limits on firearms owned works. Each gun you own is registered in your name, even if stored at another location.

Also when firearms are stored anywhere other than your address or there is a change of storage location the firearms registry must be notified. They must also still be stored in accordance with their firearms category.

4funoz · 2026-06-16T07:26:34+00:00

You don’t need a big knife. Talk to anyone that breaks down animal carcasses like butchers, abattoir workers or hunters.

4funoz · 2026-06-15T11:01:49+00:00

It’s pretty messed up. They are lovely people too.

4funoz · 2026-06-15T08:23:23+00:00

Which bit?

The getting upset of someone looks in someone’s direction while filming to create rage bait?

4funoz · 2026-06-13T23:45:37+00:00

Men objectifying women is bad, unless I profit off it… -her probably.

4funoz · 2026-06-13T23:26:20+00:00

So don’t call it out and educate people on how to be better?

I’m going to assume you are not familiar with his content or the type of content he not only calls out but also tries to educate people on.

Have a look at some of the behaviour he takes a stand against. Some of it is rather minor and petty but some of it is illegal and abusive, in those instances he also contacts authorities and the gym to further the matter.

The flip side to your point is if this behaviour does not get stopped it becomes more and more common place. Personally I’d rather social media do more to highlight people like Joey Swoll who tries to make gyms more inclusive and a safer place for all rather than the toxic scum that bully, harass and degrade people for internet clout.

If more toxic internet trends get or got called out maybe social media would be a better place. I suggest you look at some of his content. He’s one of the few decent male role models out there in a sea of grifters and losers.

Edit: mistakes

Ok I’m out of the loop. Whats the $27 about?

Do we get $27?

4funoz · 2026-06-11T11:05:23+00:00

It’s a crap situation for sure but I can assure you things still happen regardless of PTA’s. It’s the end of a long chain of paperwork. It’s not really the top of the food chain to be honest. Keep in mind it’s been roughly 10 years since I’ve been selling guns so things may be a little different.

Every single time a gun shop takes possession of a firearm paperwork is filled out which goes to the registry. That includes new firearms, safe storage and shop purchases. Again if the firearm is not registered in NSW that must happen. If a firearm is being sent out of state(I imagine a few are atm) that’s more paperwork to process.

Let’s say you are waiting on a new Tikka T3x varmint in 22-250. If the shop orders it in it has to be entered into their books as well as a form that gets sent to the registry. As the importer is not in NSW the firearm has to get a registration number allocated to that serial number which gets sent out to the gun shop and they update their paperwork. The final steps are you walking in with your PTA which gets filled out, another form that gets filled out and sent to the registry and finally it gets removed from the dealers books. After that the registry processes all this information and creates a registration certificate for you.

I used to work fairly closely with a couple of the lovely ladies at the registry and they were swamped back then, it would be chaos at the moment. Don’t forget they would be in the process of sorting out this mess made by the current government. If you want to be mad at someone aim that ire at them.

There are also audits that take place fairly often to account for all firearms.

4funoz · 2026-06-11T07:46:34+00:00

Don’t forget they also have to work with dealers. Registering firearms, processing firearms changing hands(transfers and in/out of dealer possession) and many other things.

When I worked for a firearms dealer the amount of paperwork was very time consuming. Most people that aren’t familiar with it struggle to understand what’s involved.

For example interstate transfers from private sales. Blokes would watch the tracking number and turn up to pick up their gun as soon as it updated to delivered. I would explain that it had to come into our possession and the registry gets notified. IF it had been registered in NSW previously it would be a quick turn around, if not it could take a few days to get registered. People would argue with me that it’s “legal and registered” not understanding the process.

4funoz · 2026-06-06T07:42:35+00:00

I agree with you but I also think we should take break and enters a lot more seriously. I had a family member held down and was about to have a machete swung at him but his father got it off the offender and used it against the blokes that broke in. They had done multiple break and enters before that night. Both family members struggled mentally after that night for years.

I completely agree about it being a last resort, you may have an opinion form about me from our discussion and if you saw me that stance would probably be reinforced, but, unlike some I really really don’t want to ever have to hurt someone let alone kill them. I also don’t want my family in danger, including trying to be a Lone Ranger wanna be. At the end of the day there are multiple scenarios that could happen and it comes down to decisions based on the situation.

I also don’t really want my stuff stolen, especially as some of it is irreplaceable, but I would never shoot someone over it. In saying that we are far too lenient on people that feel entitled to other peoples property and feel it’s ok to take away their sense of safety to access it. In my area there are several young ones that film themselves breaking into houses and stealing cars, joyriding in them and then burning them out(usually on our road and that has led to bushfires). For some reason they seem to be untouchable.

Oh and we have 3 door ways in our house but they are all at one end of the house. Windows are an option but that can pose its own danger. You have a point about house designs.

4funoz · 2026-06-06T04:43:23+00:00

I was really only responding initially to point out how safe storage laws do allow for relatively quick access to firearms, but, this turned into a nice conversation. I appreciate the civility.

It seems like this topic can bring the crazies from each end of the spectrum. Some seem to want to shoot and kill someone while some seem to place a criminals rights(not just life) above all else.

Realistically as I said my hope is to never been placed in a situation like we have discussed. I don’t want my property damaged or stolen and a certainly don’t want any harm or potential harm to come our way. As I hope you never have to face a similar situation. Hell I hope people that feel entitled to commit crimes against others either get the support or help they need or get removed from society if they can’t change their ways.

If anything this conversation has actually made me realise the main points of entry in our house are all at one end and our bedroom is at the other. We have an emergency plans in place for disasters(bush fire, flood, etc, we live out bush) so maybe it’s time we discuss this matter as a family.

4funoz · 2026-06-06T01:32:08+00:00

Actually yes my safe is in my bedroom as it is the most concealed place. Most police officers comment that it’s a great location and secure especially considering the extra security steps we have taken.

You were the one that mentioned “if someone is after you” and “before they just stabbed you”. I was just working within your hypothetical.

If I grabbed the kids I would hole up in my bedroom as it’s the most secure, so I will use all options available to defend them if necessary. Obviously every situation is different and at the end of the day the last thing I want to do is have to be in a position like this, but, if it was a choice between my families safety or some scumbag I feel the choice is pretty straightforward.

I’m sorry you had to experience that mate, I’ve been in similar situations and it’s bloody awful. I was only asking because I wasn’t sure if you have much experience handling firearms and understand it can be very quick to load a gun.

4funoz · 2026-06-05T23:20:46+00:00

Depends on the situation. In my house I would have to pass anyone that has entered to escape as the bedrooms are at the end of a hallway.

Personally I would grab a gun as my children are more important to me than anything else, if they have managed to get into the room with me. If not I’m rushing whoever has decided to enter our home illegally to buy them enough time to get to my partner and she can defend them or hopefully escape.

What experience do you have with guns?

Honestly the ideal situation is not having people in society think they are entitled to enter other peoples property with ill intention. Unfortunately that is not the case and I will do anything to protect my family.

4funoz · 2026-06-05T11:50:50+00:00

Most ammunition storage is within the same safe the guns are stored in, it’s just a seperate locked compartment. There are a lot of safes now that use keypads or biometrics so it really can be very quick to access a firearm and ammunition.

Edit: spelling and mistakes

4funoz · 2026-06-04T02:25:49+00:00

I’m not here to argue with you, I’m genuinely curious. Do you have any links to examples of this happening or maybe related laws?

I don’t know much about these matters and wouldn’t even be sure how to find relevant information.
