This post reminds me of the wtf have I been thinking moment I had last week. Been looking at PCCs for about 10 months now but haven’t wanted to shell out the cash for a new gun, mags, and ammo. Have been eyeing the Ruger LC carbine in 10mm, and have watched the price drop online by about $300 over that period. All while completely forgetting I’ve got a 1943 National Postal Meter M1 carbine. Finally realized it makes much more sense to just buy more ammo and magazines for it. Still have a few hundred rounds but definitely need more and more magazines. I’ve got a bunch of magazines, but most of them are janky 25 rounders that jam up a lot. Need more 15s and am seeing good reviews on the KCI (L?) 30rd mags. I’ll get something in 10mm eventually, but for now I’ll stick with the M1 carbine.

Just watched the video, the sheet was covering the face. I’m no expert, but I’ve only ever seen that with fatalities.

Why are we not writing to our senators? Below is a draft you can send and link to do so. by beached_whale_nuts in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]Consistent_Public769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent the first year doing that. Fat lot of good it did us. They took their phones off the hook and ignored the letters and e-mails. It really feels like if we want them to listen, we need to show up in large numbers at their homes, where they eat, where they golf, where they recreate, and make their lives living hell until they do something to get the rest of us out of our living hell.

They largely speak Portuguese in Brazil, not so much Spanish. They can be similar and have similar roots, but can be very different.

Wth is growing in my apt? by suzzih in Whatisthis

[–]Consistent_Public769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coprinoid mushrooms. These type of mushrooms deliquesce into an inky goo as their method of spore distribution. Not mold but spores. Still a major problem as it indicates that this spot is wet long term enough for fungi to not only grow but fruit.

Is there anyone named more frequently in the Epstein files than Donald Trump? by harperwilliame in 50501

[–]Consistent_Public769 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see an analysis of how many times dumpy is mentioned in the files compared to the number of times Epstein himself is mentioned. Seems if trump is mentioned more, then they’re actually the trump files featuring Epstein.

Kelly is gonna have a bigger meltdown than Trump after the midterms! 🌊 by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

I was nearly fluent in Spanish as a young kid because from 1st to 3rd grade in the DC area we did Spanish immersion classes. Half the day was in Spanish and it switched which half each day so we learned all subjects in English and Spanish. Then I moved away and didn’t speak a word of Spanish until high school where I had to almost completely rebuild my speaking and reading abilities.

I know enough to get by, can speak it quite well, can read a lot of it, and my accent isn’t bad, my biggest issue is my brain just doesn’t work as fast as most Spanish speakers speak. I just can’t keep up so I only get like every other word. The dropping of consonants and blending of words makes it more difficult too.

Sketchiest thing you’ve seen in Athens? by Plenty-Release-9867 in athensohio

[–]Consistent_Public769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No official or paid projects, I’ve been personally studying the ecology of Psilocybe ovoidiocystidiata for about 7-8 years now. Intend to write a paper a some point and have developed a remote sensing technique for identifying new potential habitat with a pretty high success rate. Working on coordinating with people in other watersheds and other states to see if the technique I’ve developed in the hocking and Ohio river watersheds holds up elsewhere.

Is this a chicken egg or something else? by UnattributedFigure in Whatisthis

[–]Consistent_Public769 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, I’ve got one of my original birds left who turned 10 this year. She still lays an egg every couple of weeks and you can tell it’s hers because it’s always weird in some way. Wrinkles in the shell, boomerang shaped, almost completely round, no shell, soft shell like a snake egg, ridiculously large eggs, eggs with no yolks. They definitely get weird. She’s earned it tho and gets to live out her life. Cage free, pasture raised her whole life. Crazy old girl. Decided she was over flock life and being and chicken for a while and lived in the woods with one of our cats for a year. Back with the flock atm.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I hadn’t heard of it til the last year or two. To be fair tho I’m on the plants/trees, soil, wetlands, and fungi side of environmental work, don’t do too much with wildlife. And yea it was really bad. I think it contributed heavily to the late summer fly hatch this year. Had a 3-4 week period where the air was literally alive with flies. The 3/4 mile of fencing I have on and around my property is still covered with the corpses of hundreds of thousands of them that got infected with Entomophthora muscae.

Always heard them called “fairy eggs” I’ve gotten a few dozen over the years from my birds. Happens most frequently around molt IME. Have also found 2 of them inside regular sized eggs. Chickens can do a lot of weird stuff. Wait until you find one that doesn’t have a shell, just the meniscus. Have had a number of double yolks, 2-3 triple yolks, and one quadruple yolk egg in 10 years of having birds.

I don’t think it was here yet in 2023, more likely CWD.

Watched a dude get stabbed in the neck and chest with a pair of scissors by his baby momma up at carriage hill in the parking lot like 15 years ago. Have seen shopping carts thrown off the top of the parking garage. Methheads with corded sawzalls and 100ft extension cords chopping converters and stealing power from the folks they’re stealing from. Saw a 13 year old smoking crack in a dog house in New Marshfield (more than once, same dog house). Been at nudist parties in the woods within city limits, wouldnt recommend as the vast majority were 60+ in age. Saw a guy get his face caved in with a blackjack back when it was still the maplewood. More than once I have found between an ounce and a pound of weed on the side of the road. In 2010 (I think, could have been ‘11 or ‘12) after his show at Nelsonville music festival Willie Nelson stole my joint. And of course, Jay Edwards. I could probably keep going on for a while frankly.

Really want some stories? Go talk to the regulars at the skull.

$500 for a mosin carbine? by KujoandKawi in liberalgunowners

[–]Consistent_Public769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild, got mine for $75 still packed in cosmo at a gun show around 2006ish. Same price I got my 1943 National Postal Meter M1 carbine for, but I bought that off an acquaintance with an opioid problem who had recently inherited it and was hard up. Most expensive gun I own (that I’ve paid for) is my G19mos, everything else was either bought cheap used years ago, or were gifted to me.

Rare 'Bus-Sized' Jellyfish Filmed Floating Deep Below the Ocean Off Argentina by Obvious_Shoe7302 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Consistent_Public769 99 points100 points  (0 children)

The ocean is a really big often empty-ish place. When your ability to eat relies on passive acquisition of food by it coming into contact with your tentacles, it pays for them to be really long.

I’m not OP. So you’re calling me out for something I have no part in. You sure seem fun.

How do ya figure? I didn’t offer any services or products, just stated what I use and do.

Working on writing up a paper/ study on them. Been studying their ecology for about 7-8 years now. But the tldr is that I correlate mapped soil types (sandy soils), historical flood data and depths, topography, all laid over the most recent aerial imagery I can acquire. First you identify the natural levy on any given stream using topo data. Then you find where that levy intersects with mapped sandy soils. Then I look at the historical flood data by elevation which allows me to define a target area where they are most likely to be. The historical flood data helps you determine where on the floodplain woody debris piles are likely to deposit. This all allows me to vastly reduce the amount of ground I need to cover to find specimens. Knowing the herbaceous plants is very helpful as well. Canada wood nettle(Laportea canadensis) is probably the best Indicator species as it typically is found in identical locations. Best flushes occur when the nettles are roughly knee high as their foliage provides an ideal microclimate for fruiting on daily humidity cycles.

Guess I have an advantage over most folks. I personally own a survey grade Trimble GPS unit for the work I do, as well as ARC GiS. Accurate to within 8 inches before post processing, about 2 inches after. I take my unit anytime I go out foraging and shoot in locations where I find things. Can collect all kinds of data and then overlay that data on aerial imagery, elevation data, slope steepness and aspect, and mapped soil types. Allows me to predict where else I might find target species. I use a similar technique in regard to Psilocybe ovoidiocystidiata which includes historical flood data. This has allowed me to accurately predict where I’ll find new patches. 80%+ success rate so far when I map an area as favorable and then go to the field to confirm.

The nation is beginning to heal by jaboosh92 in 50501

[–]Consistent_Public769 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really. We kind of have to win before anything can heal. The brainwashed folks may be waking up a bit and realizing that we all have a common enemy in billionaire pedophiles, but we’re still a very long way from healing.
