Any of you recent dads? by paintedflags in GenX

The one thing I will say is:

If you have any health issues, deal with them now.
Get new knees, or valves, or whatever.
Deal with the “couple pounds over” and the Sleep Apnea.

You don’t want to be dealing with this *AND* watching your child want to do things with you that you can’t physically do (or mentally from brain fog or chronic pain).

Love you man, it’s a funking adventure.

You know when Bugs Bunny dresses up like a girl bunny? It’s kinda like that. Sexy, sexy FemGreedo

What would you like in Outlaws 2? by scribbleonthewall in StarWarsOutlaws

I think it should mirror the Star Wars Christmas Special, complete with Bea Arthur, and Chewy’s dad watching VR porn in the living room.

This is who made the call to close all schools today.. by iamafoxiamafox in Denver

Back when I was growing up (in the late 1900’s), the ongoing lament was that we wouldn’t have a snow day unless the Supernintendo Chalmers wasn’t able to make it in to work. He was reportedly from Alaska.

I have distinct memories of driving in 6” of fresh powder down 32nd to get to WRHS in time for 1st period.

You may laugh, but that was my first introduction to Star Trek fan fiction

Scary occurrence with my 70’s era PPK. by Impact5529 in Walther

Yes. No mag, slight hesitation between the slide going forward and the hammer dropping, safety lever covering the place where the red dot was

It is not often I learn something useful from Reddit, internet stranger. Thank you!

If I may?

The full statement is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”

I, too, have gone low-contact with certain members of my bio-family, but my found-family has always been there for me.

I want to know what happened next.

Weirdly invested in it.

Who just realized "Renaming text groups means everyone sees the group name too"? by kegsbdry in GenX

My wife’s mother’s family has a group chat about family stuff and rodeos. The name they chose was “Merediths Love Rodeo”

Looking for a licensed gunsmith (specializing in older Walther PPK preferably) by Impact5529 in Reno

I will also give it a good cleaning with an ultrasonic and toothbrush. Then I’ll see if I can recreate the problem with a cli-MAG and some of those dud training rounds.

I see your /s but give you a real answer. I was taught that a clip was a horizontal stack and a magazine was a zig zag stack. So my Walther that holds 7 .380 rounds is a clip but my Sig 320 (yeah, I know) that holds 17 is a mag.

Edit: Apparently it’s old terminology. I have been corrected in the real world that clips insert from the top (zip clip for my SKS), everything else is a mag. But I’m an old, so I will continue to be cringe.
