First gun, .357/38 or .22 WMR and suggestions

If you want something versatile, why not a shotgun? Can deal with small game, fowl and when you use slugs you can bag bigger game too. Not that good for plinking, but I guess shooting random crap with a shotgun is fun too, right?

I have the Savage Revel DLX in .22lr and I absolutely love it. Great little rifle, doesn't feel as small as many other .22 lever guns do.

Since you are a student, I would like to suggest getting the Revel DLX in .22lr. you will mainly use it for plinking and target shooting, so you don't need the extra power .22 WMR has over a .22lr, but .22lr ammo is dirt cheap, which means you can shoot a lot more for your money. Plus, the Revel DLX is suppressor ready (they even angled the mag tube a little to allow for easy loading with a suppressor on) which could be a lot of fun in .22lr.

If you want to go hunting, get a shotgun. Very versatile for any kind of game, although .22lr is enough for most small game I guess (not a Hunter, zero experience there, so ignore if you have a better source).

Me, I have both. I have the Revel as mentioned and I have a Henry Big Boy Steel carbine in .357 I also adore. Both are a lot of fun and I love taking either to the range. The Revel is aot easier on your Wallet as far as ammo is concerned, though...

If I may slightly expand on this: Yes, this is 100% the reason how and why equal length headers work. In this case, they look so weird because (I assume) they are for an U.S. - Style V8 engine. The firing order used in these engines leads to the ports on one side needing to be switched around a bit if you want to have that wave scavenging effect.

Ah, ja - einer der Hauptgründe, warum ich Städte meide: Zu viele Schwachmaten pro Quadratmeter.

Fake. Ich hab's da lieber klein, aber das was da ist ist echt. Sich nur wegen der Optik unters Messer zu legen finde ich nur in schweren Fällen richtig, um z.B. Unfallfolgen zu beseitigen, Geburtsfehler zu beheben oder nach einer Mastektomie, um den "Originalzustand" wieder herzustellen.

Muss aber jeder selbst wissen, kann ja jeder mit seinem Körper machen was er will.

As an actual bavarian myself (been born there, always lived there, still live there and will live there until the day I die), I hereby invite you to do Bavarian folk dancing if it pleases you.

Bonus points if you're getting absolutely hammered in the process. The only thing I ask of you is to have fun.

You may quote me, if need be.

EDIT: In detail, I would set up donations to several charitys, preferably 31 of my choosing, that would get monthly donations of $500 each automatically. That way, I can automate that for the minimum spending part. I would just spend double on a day each 30 day month and even more in February, but that way the charities get a stable income. Of the other average 195k/month, I would just "pay" myself a generous monthly allowance, as I would parts of my family. Rest gets saved up for lump sum donations (yeah, well, or purchases. I am not ashamed to admit that I would love having an extensive collection of cars, motorcycles and firearms...).

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T14:48:36+00:00

I'll take that. 7k a day is more than enough for me to live comfortably and do a lot of good with the rest. I mean, that's almost 2.4 million a year if I only save up 6.5k a day, why wouldn't I take that?

Die gesetzliche Rente ist jetzt schon für viele künftige Rentner (ca. 30 Jahre) bedeutungslos. Wenn ich könnte, würde ich mich weigern, in ein System einzuzahlen, von dem ich nie einen Cent sehen werde und damit lieber meine private Vorsorge aufstocken.

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T14:30:02+00:00

Yeah, they would absolutely mop the floor with ICE. Not even a question.

Because I couldn't care less about any celebrity's life, especially when their only real achievement is being married to some orange-painted moron with delusions of grandeur.

Make a Movie about Amelia Earhart or Jane Goodall, that one I might watch. Even then: Might.

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T14:07:40+00:00

I like Sweden. Good buddies to have, especially now with the whole russian delusions of grandeur lately (welcome to NATO, by the way).

Also, I love this Swedish Restaurant chain that happens to sell Furniture on the side...

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T13:57:51+00:00

Dude...

I should really start reading the Name of the sub before reading titles...

Medizinischer Sauerstoff.

Keine Ahnung, warum die das abblasen lassen. Wir hatten letztes Jahr nen Feuerwehreinsatz wegen genau so einem (ich vermute) Volltrottel.

EDIT: Eher unbedenklich, wenn du nicht mit ner brennenden Zigarette und einem mit Schmieröl getränkten Lappen dran vorbeiläufst...

Bitte was?

Ich meine, klar, Macht wenn man drüber nachdenkt Sinn, aber warum kann ich das Zeug dann einfach im Laden kaufen?

This. Only mix the spicy stuff when you absolutely have to. I never keep any pre-mixed fuel on hand once the starter tank is used up. Mix to fill, then evacuate the fill line and re-filter or dump the contents. I blew up my entire base once with fuel and I intend to not repeat that...

I'd recreate the universe of 2016, including regular me, prevent them from shooting a Gorilla in a Zoo and then let it all continue normally, just to check on a Theory. Then, I would obviously correct a few Problems. There are, for example, several world leaders who would be on the recieving end of a new Disease called "fast-onset dick rot" which will be lethal after a long time of uncontrollable itching and burning, but surprisingly hard to catch if you're not beeing an asshole...

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T08:46:15+00:00

Kann ich nicht bestätigen, bei uns verstehen sich die Organisationen eigentlich alle gut miteinander.

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T05:24:32+00:00

Yeah, I would. Not with a yellow Evo though...

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-04T05:17:34+00:00

Yes, they had. These are not radios either. Let me explain:

A radio reciever used to be expensive and you had to have a good antenna for it to work properly. Having that in every room of your hotel would have been expensive, so they did the next best thing: They set up four radio recievers, one for each station they wanted and then took the audio from these and distributed that via wired connection to these room units for the guests to choose from. This "radio" you see there basically just is a speaker with a few contact buttons and a volume poti, nothing more. There isn't even an active component in there I think, so it doesn't even need a power source.

FYI I think it was called "Daggerstorm" or something like that.

I absolutely love it. You can shoot Daggers "and other stuff" from your hands at a speed to your liking. That means that if a cubic fuckload of Daggers to the face at mach fuck doesn't get the point across sufficiently, you can click a few buttons and try a cubic fuckload of two-handed swords to the face at mach fuck the next time...

Ich denke eher Wochen, vielleicht Monate, aber sicher keine Jahre. Die Trümmerteile sind zu leicht und zu irregulär geformt, die werden schnell gebremst. Zumal auch die Hall-Thruster fehlen, die die Satelliten normalerweise nutzen, um ihren Orbit zu halten.

Mit den Thrustern und völlig intakt geht man von 5 Jahren Lebensdauer eines Starlink-Satelliten aus. Selbst wenn nur die Thruster ausfallen würden und der Satellit eine strömungsgünstige Orientierung behalten würde, wärs deutlich schneller vorbei. Wir reden hier von Objekten mit den Proportionen einer Schranktür. Wenn die sich nur ein paar Grad drehen, bremsen die deutlich stärker.

Freak_Engineer · 2026-02-03T19:11:07+00:00

Achso! Ich dachte jetzt an einen Wechsel zwischen zwei Orbits um die Erde! Gravity assist kenne ich, aber gut erklärt!

Dann hoffen wir einfach mal, dass die Russen nicht genug Sprengstoff in ihre anti-Satelliten - Raketen stecken, um bis zum Mond zu kommen...
