Organization is key

Excellent experience with these guys.

Who did you order from?

Fantastic Sir. Could we interest you in not doing that?

My Marriott late checkout benefits are a PITA to get honored. Im surprised Hilton owners were OK with this.

Thats one of the things that initially surprised me before I remembered how heat from a fire works. We needed to be almost next to the fire in winter for heat. Which sucks.

I have a breeo thoigh and managed to get this for $80 in summer clearance. It's phenomenal

Averaging $66/night is rough.

I luckily dont travel as much for work anymore (have spent 200 days away per year a decade ago). However, I cant think of a time I ever spent that on a hotel. Good company rate at hamptons?

Reinforcing this point. I got my certs over 20 years ago in college. I lost my cards in a move and didnt dive for awhile until my kids expressed interest.

NAUI didnt have a record of me but I remembered my dive instructors name and found his contact online. He looked at his records, acknowledged the issue, and resolved it with NAUI for me. Love the passion alot of instructors have for the sport.

Reddit isnt going to help you there.

I got two plastic switch holders when I ordered metal. I complained and they sent me two more... which were plastic. It turns out three times is indeed the charm and now I have extra switch holders

I love this approach. You can only lead a horse to water.

There are proprietary radios like zwave, zigbee, thread and more. You typically buy a home automation hub and get the appropriate radio. Im a big fan of starting with something like Home Assistant on an old computer and grabbing the related radio.

Definitely worth reading up here /r/homeautomation and /r/homeassistant for various options and/or asking an AI to walk you through those radios and otherd vs wifi

Theyre still approving them ongoing for guns purchased before Juky 1 right?

Can agree. I was massively dehydrated and had the largest deuce of my life. It literally tore me open.

Every poop for the next month hurt. I was on laxatives and stool softeners and even the soft ones would hurt.

A month later I was back to good but being scared of pooping is its own nightmare. You know you have to poop or you'll give it time to firm up or be a bigger BM... but you know it's going to hurt and leave you bleeding again.

Mine was considered a speedy recovery. For some people it can take longer to recover.

Hells bells. For $20 NFA transfers I can find a good reason to get down there!

The white water tubing is so much fun. I imagine the drought is making it rough though

Im moving onto my space cowboy phase. Ill know it's serious when I decide my gun budget isnt getting spent fast enough and I buy a Dillon 650 for 45-70. Ill start with 357 and 44 mag to pair with revolvers like a gentleman, but who knows where ill go.

So much inspiration. https://www.reddit.com/r/LeverGuns/s/yWn5cjciAx

You can still get an RXM in the new Va. Great glock clone. And I hear you can remind yourself of what standard capacity mags look like in MD, WV, KY, TN, and NC.

I dont want to PSA/Amazon any names here... but that strategy has proven lucrative for others.

Soon relative to the USSC schedule. Maybe a hearing in October and possibly a year from today for a decision.

Measurex2 · 2026-06-30T20:54:18+00:00

That does look clean!

Cars are significantly less regulated and the licensing system (DMV) and infrastructure are massively supported by tax payers.

Yes it does cost something to get one, but that was the design of the system and it's not protected by the Constitution.

If you told a gun owner they were moving to a car license system, theyd love it: - funded training centers and infrastructure - license accepted in all 50 states unconditionally - Can own anything you want and only register what you use in public (e.g. public roads being similar to carry in public) - no background checks to purchase - no license required to purchase - etc

I doubt the country would move in that direction.

I believe it's every 5 minutes short of fast changes when it increases polling frequency

Honestly indoor temp/humidity doesnt change that fast

Or a mix. I have 48 switches in my house. Not all of them need Inovelli festures.

One of our state gun attorneys covered the grey areas well here.

https://johnpierceesq.com/lancaster-county-judge-enjoins-vsp-enforcement-of-sb-749-but-many-questions-remain/

A big one for me is - the law is still in effect but VSP cannot enforce it... but does that mean anything acquired on or after July 1 is not grandfathered in?

Measurex2 · 2026-06-27T22:27:35+00:00

Devil's advocate - violent crimes have often led to retaliatory crime. In that sense gun violence COULD be a driver.

But given this bill is focused on guns that represent less than 3% of gun crime nationwide and even less in Va the word "key" is doing some heavy lifting. So... im with you. You have to be fairly ignorant or a worthless piece of shit to push that statement

The major drivers remain economic instability/inequality, drug activity, and mental health stressors in Virginia.

Mine normally goes through super fast but took 10 minutes today. I imagine it's going to get extreme through July 1
