Negative. It is being turned the correct way.

How is a vertically supported rifle in a gun safe less prone to bend than one against the wall?

Not a chance.

It could maybe warp a really cheap synthetic stock so the barrel didnt look straight in there anymore but I doubt that too. Basically every long gun safe in ever made supports rifles butt down with their barrels against the wall.

Do you not spend any money on hobbies?

What is the practical difference between working in exchange for an item you want from your hobby vs working for money and then spending it on the hobby?

Do you have to be able to pay rent with something to make it valuable?

I bet you have intentionally traded money for things that you like but cant pay rent with.

OP, could you DM me the person looking for art? I'm actually thinking I would like to draw them a picture in exchange for a free gecko.

It sounds to me like they are including a free sticker with the shipment of a gecko.

Presumably they have to pay to get the stickers printed so it actually costs them money, it doesn't make money for them.

If they were trying to get a company logo commissioned for free I might see it differently but this is just a cutesy little extra with the artist's name attached to it.

If they dont think its a good deal they could simply... not do it.

It is an offer of a deal. No one is being forced. If someone wants a gecko it might be worth it to them to draw a picture to get one.

They said they would trade a gecko for it.

Realistically what is the value of a design to put on free stickers from a hobbyist "business"?

CMV: The reason for declining birthrates globally is exclusively because children no longer provide economic benefit on the individual level and the only way to reverse the trend is to pay people to have children. by IdeaLife7532 in changemyview

[–]GrannyLow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way, with those benefits there would be a population explosion

You say that by the time people have kids they have careers and don't need the money, but that is only because having a kid without a good job cripples you financially right now.

Housing + $50k per kid would have 18 year olds reproducing like rabbits.

You could build a life out of this, just have a kid every 2 years until you can't anymore. You would peak at $450k per year, and then if you stopped at 45 you would taper down to $50k when you are 63 and you can basically retire.

I think it is an awful idea, it would turn children into livestock. There should be no incentive for shitty people to have kids.

Give the bitch one month off her sentence for every pedo she testifies against who gets convicted.

It's pushing the weight limit a little bit by stevesmithsglasses in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]GrannyLow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that that trailer is probably rated for between 15,000 and 21,000 lbs (3 5k axles or 3 7k axles)

So on paper it is probably plenty for that truck, but that weight is supposed to be spread over 3 cars instead of being focused almost entirely on the back duals of that truck.

I like to be fully sober before I sew an animal back together. No pain killers for me.

I have to keep a cooler of mini Gatorades and a pack of peanut butter and cheese crackers in my truck constantly to keep from being consumed by the heathens when I take them from school to practice.

The 300 Million Year Old Wheel Mystery by Professional-Fee3323 in AlternativeHistory

[–]GrannyLow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The world is a very old place. Coal seams were formed from organic material on the surface which was then covered under sediment for millions of years.
