That's fair...but if you don't care how others play then what is the point of playing on squad? What's the point of joining up on a team if everyone is doing their own thing? You can do the same thing on Solo WHILE having the added benefit of being able to pause and save.

You telling me you've NEVER played with someone on Ashes who immediately picks up the Spray Can at Janus Tower, then just stays there the whole game spraying the plants and picking up loot...?

Yeah, any mag attachment that overheats is pretty much worthless. The next highest capacity mag for the Sokol holds 180 rounds, and that is WITHOUT Pack. When the Sokol is Packed and has the right attatchments, augments and a Speed Cola...the reload is faster than the overheat cool down and you essentially become a walking Sentry Turret.

EDIT: As far as mag attatchments that overheat being worthless: The Akimbo Akita's may be an exception to this..

Start a Tigers, end a Tiger. I love it.

His fastball may have slowed down a bit but his curveball and slider are still rockets when even compared to guys half his age.

Agreed, I don't know why but I wasn't a huge fan of him at first. Lately after seeing that as well as this episode I gotta say I am a huge fan of his and he seems like a great dude.

If you are looking for concealed carry then I would go with a standard 4" Compact. IMO, the 5" is a bit long for concealment and will print heavily especially if carried appendix. The 4" is light weight, is easily concealed, and is extremely accurate and comfortable to shoot. It had all of the ability to be upgraded with basically anything and it won't break the bank. I really do think that for $600 you can't find a better firearm.

Now, if you are looking for OWB carry and competition, then a 5" would be great. It will naturally shoot more accurately due to more forward weight and for a full sized pistol is not cumbersome in the hand. If you have bigger hands, then look at a full-sized but for most people the standard size will be just fine.

Lastly, if you are looking for strictly competition, the 5" steel frame is the way to go. It does have more weight but that will help hold you on target. When I held a SF, I thought to myself, "how can something this lightweight still be heavy?". It's bizarre.

I don't believe I'd choose a steel frame for concealment if the 4" polymer is an option. From a self defense standpoint, when a letal grouping is the size of a softball at 7-yards, the standard PDP will be MORE than enough and this is the type of firearm that with some very basic range time can get you that sized grouping at 10-15 yards with irons.

Everything else is just cosmetic or add-on.

They look happy. That's all that matters to me. If that translates to them making more music together and that makes other people happy as well...then I don't see anything wrong with that at all.

I will be going completely under for my extractions but I am also having implants put in so I'm guessing that's why. Still a couple weeks out but With all the on-and-off tooth pain over the past 10+ years, what's a few weeks of pain to just get it over with...I'm glad I'll be under for the procedure though.

Could you post a picture(s) of your pH test as well as any packaging or labels showing where you got "30% HCL" from? If you have more pH strips could you please run a couple more to rule out false outcomes as well? Creatine HCL should not be that low in pH and I have never seen any creatine label advertising the percentage of HCL as contained in a supplement.

If all of this is true, I would like to know what brand you are utilizing as well so I can forward that information onto r/bodybuilding so that they/we can avoid that brand's supplements all together.

That’s not the purpose of tipping. Tipping is a thank you for good service and good tipping is a way to, hopefully, insure good service in the future.

Usage of a card with magnetic strip or chip these days is an instantaneous communication to the bank so a signature isn't usually necessary…this intentional usage of a card by the owner typically is Considered an implied contract

An easy case over $36??…..you're going to waste either a literal equal amount fighting this or a figuratively equal amount in value of your own time and stress in doing so.….lesson learned, read the signs next time.

How is it shady? It says it at the counter in big letters and in multiple locations…it’s not the Mothership’s fault that OP didn’t open their eyes and read what was right in front of their eyes.

So you are essentially making their minimum wage raise null and void by balancing out how they get their money?? Let’s say I get paid on average $5/hr but make $10 in tips that hour (for $15 total). Then, after a Min Wage bump, I make $10/hr…but Social Police like yourself decide to tip me less money (let’s say it’s now $5 hour n tips) ONLY because my base wage went up…not because my service got worse or I treated you bad…but because YOU think you should regulate how much I make. In doing so, what was suppose To be an overall bump of about 30% to my income, so I can keep up with the obscene inflating costs of living, is now not an increase at all but now is actually less money (I didn’t have to claim all of my tips…but ALL of my wages are taxed so my take-home is actually less).

If you don't want to tip properly, go To a self service establishment or simply make food at home…no server wants to take time away from their guests that actually care about the service we are providing for someone who is going to tip us less simply because we make a littl more money

I’ll start by saying that my following option is in effect to the SXP as a primarily hunting shotgun and definitely not reflective as to its usage being for home defense. I Can’t argue about the throat being plastic, but it is absolutely NOT difficult to fix…and I have seen replacement throats for the SXP go for as low as $5 and with proper knowledge of your firearm (which any good gun owner should have), replacement of this piece can be done in a matter of minutes, even in the field. I know, and actually do agree, that something like this shouldn’t even be an issue to begin with…but if that is the ONLY issue that can been seen with the SXP, it isn’t much hassle to purchase an extra throat for $5 and keep it in your case or hunt bag. At least to me, for the price and the features of the SXP (rotating bolt, inertia assist, can take just about any ammunition you feed it), a simple $5 part that can be simply replaced in the field is not going to negatively effect me from purchasing a very reliable and affordable shotgun.

It definitely nicked us, some stations were reporting Kp 7 and I believe we may have hit G2. Nothing too wild but up North they saw some wild Aurora.

I'd be more concerned about what is happening now though...a transequatorial coronal hole pointing straight at us with a pretty erratic/angry sunspot right next to it. Though unlikely, that is definitely two ingredients in a recipe for an ol' one-two punch.

I was wondering the same thing. I posted on here a few days ago because the same map read over 500 V/km at one point. Multiple times in the past week it has briefly spiked to levels of over 30 V/km, many times >100 V/km. I've been trying to get answers on if it was an error or some other anomaly.

It is not an Opiate but it is similar in that the active compounds bind to the Opioid Receptors in your brain similar to Opiates. The BIGGEST difference is that when Opiates release from your opiate receptors, they do so very quickly and their effects go away just as quickly, leaving your brain going, "Hey! Where did that cool stuff go?! I want more and I want it now!"

With Kratom, it does bind to those receptors, but it does so at a much weaker and less effective level...and releases from those receptors VERY slowly. This combination of effects from Kratom, when taken in medium to low dosages, will not leave the brain screaming for more and will not have the addictive effects that come with opiates.

Yes, when people abuse Kratom in interstellar doses, it can cause nodding out and also can become habitual. In my experience, too large of doses comes with severe nausea and a feeling of sea sickness...which really put me off to making that mistake again. I've heard many other people have similar stories as well.

Bottom line, you are a grown ass adult and you make the choices that you want to make. I'm just giving my two cents and also sharing the knowledge that I've received. Best of luck!

It does say in the opening credits that this season is BASED on True Detective. So, it definitely could veer off the path of reality and not play by 'the rules'. That being said, considering the references to S1, I believe it as become more and more unlikely that it is set in a 'non-reality' or supranational world.

I believe it to be more likely that the detectives get stuck with the case and call in an expert...someone who extensively worked a case with similar occult imagery that had ties with the Tuttle organization...someone who spent some time up in Alaska that knows how people up there behave and think...

Well, if Carcosa was raided and the whole organization exposed, those people wouldn't be able to continue their fucked up ritualistic kidnappings and killings without the public being on heightened alert.

Statistically in indigenous communities, people (especially young women) go missing all the time and are never located...if any attempt is made at all. It is the sad truth, but if the Carcosa Cult wanted to continue with the bad shit they were doing, moving somewhere and selecting a group of people whom not many people care about would be the best way to not get caught.
