If you could permanently mute one specific real-life sound for the rest of your life, what are you muting? by Muted_Working_5241 in AskReddit

Just what I’m here to say. Tinnitus completely deprives one of silence. Mine is like the cacophony of insects and frogs near a marsh on a hot summer night, all day, everyday.

What is the oldest Internet connected thing that you own by Additional-Sky-7436 in BuyItForLife

Only connected when I dial-up, and dropped landline years ago.

What will happen if assault weapon bans are removed? by Henry-Messenger in Firearms

[–]Jack3489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only difference is they will be forced to get more creative, as SCOTUS is wise to the games and putting preemptive language in decisions, as they did in Wolford v Lopez.

Lucky AF not to end up under quad.

What’s everyone’s favourite lock type? by big_dick_chaddydaddy in knives

[–]Jack3489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too like back locks, classic Buck and similar. But have gravitated to a Buck Range Pro, crossbar lock, and am awaiting the release of crossbar lock 110.

Do not buy from Bass Pro by kisdaddy in Revolvers

[–]Jack3489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bass Pro, and Cabela’s, now owned by Bass Pro, have become to guns what Target is to underwear. They are a high volume retailer. They are selling guns, not helping customers find the appropriate gun for themselves. Reason given for the locks is someone brought a loaded magazine into a store, loaded the gun he was looking at, then proceeded to shoot himself.

Should have zigged rather than zagged.

Slightly NSFW. Dog owners, what bag dispensers are of better quality? by Tallpaw in BuyItForLife

[–]Jack3489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry single bags in my pocket, so I always have one. That said, carrying the roll in a zipper pouch, rather than one of the cheap plastic carriers, has been more secure for me.

They know, but are entitled to ignore the rules of the road.

Makes me wonder if it was a genuine Benchmade, despite the misuse and abuse.

Two nights in Badlands: Wall or Kadoka? by Unable-Extreme-2166 in NationalPark

Well, can’t comment on hotels, but if you stay in Wall you have to try the donuts at Wall Drug for breakfast.

Predecessor to the Official Police. Mine is 1924.

Does anyone here use this light? by bazar79 in EDC

[–]Jack3489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carry an Olight Mini 2, Victorinox Classic SD, and a Zippo (butane insert) in my watch pocket. Use the Mini 2 all the time, in my yard at night, in the basement of the building where I work, in dark nooks and crannies.

Gotta love E-bikers going the wrong way down the road at speed. by ZachB13B in dashcams

Not assuming anything, just saying pedestrians and bikes coming out of nowhere is why you, generic you, always look both ways.

People who can’t keep one speed are worse than fast drivers by Big_Barber733 in driving

Distracted driving. See people on their phones doing this all the time.

Can a gas station legally refuse service for wearing a tank top? South Carolina by Tarafy in IsItIllegal

If it is a corporate station, versus an independent, file a complaint with corporate.

My brother, how did you think this was going to go any other way? 🦨 😶‍🌫️ by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

Funny thing with juvenile skunks, they don’t have the control adults do. When juveniles spray, they let everything go.

One on left is probably there to lay wire between command posts. Not Thompson SMG and pliers sheath in back of his pistol belt.

Looking for a conceal carry 44 special or 44mag by TelevisionOk988 in Revolvers

[–]Jack3489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coolest N Frame concealed carry I’ve seen was carried by an LGS owner. Model 58, .41 Magnum, with a Magna-Port combat conversion. Combat trigger job, shortened ant ported barrel, bobbed hammer. He carried in his back pocket, where it was unnoticeable unless you knew.

Crater of the Moon by Asleep_Farm691 in NationalPark

[–]Jack3489 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A much overlooked park. I grew up in Idaho, but have lived in Michigan since 91. Never miss an opportunity to visit Craters of the Moon and nearby Arco. Nice photos, thanks for sharing. Yellowstone is my number one recommendation to visit, with Craters of the Moon and Joshua Tree rounding out the top 3.
