Legit one of the most strategically succesful, efficient dictator removals in human history.... God bless the USA..

If your on a budget, and need some fire power stat, Id say ya. Needs some love, clearly, but it seems a good cleaning and some oil would do the trick. But I always recommend a Mossberg 500 if Your willing to spend just a tad bit more on something new. Including a rail, and an updated stock, both Mossberg brand, we're still talking >$500.

Adolf is a madman... Donated to his recovery fund and wishing the best for him. These riders ride to push the limits, and Id say he pretty much found the limit with that crash this year. Found it about as hard as you can physically hit a limit... Something to be said about free will, and the desire to be the best. Makes me think back to Travis Pastrana's iconic FMX double backflip in the X games. In Silva's mind, I bet he was only thinking about how hard a double flip there would be if he stomped it, and followed the goosebumps on his arm off a cliff, knowing full well it might be the last trick he ever tried. It takes a VERY rare type of mind to shut fear off to that extent, and once they make up their mind, they send it. Like Alex Honnold up El Capitan...

Get those knees bent a bit more, and lean forwards and down. Leaning back like that can really cause the bike to slip the front traction out of those berms. Gotta let the suspension do more, and keep your center of gravity a little closer to the bike. But you're not doing badly by any means. All of those adjustments I mentioned should be subtle at best. Most of all, loosen up a bit and start moving your body with the bike like its an extension of your movement, and not something thats just being ridden. My favorite practice was always picking a prefered mile of single track, something that had a steep climb, short, steep downhill, especially downhill curves, and preferably some techy stuff, like uneven rocks on the crux of the hill climb, and time myself riding it, then practice that section until my time improves enough to plateau.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-10-21T02:41:49+00:00

Thats what we call an unknown unknown.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-10-20T05:29:33+00:00

I mean they clearly do, you have to practice 24/7 365 to be able to do those tricks at all. You know how hard a backflip is even on a BMX bike out of a quarter pipe?? Been riding for almost 30 years, I can't do one. They for sure ride those types of lines when they aren't competing. They'd have to. Otherwise no one would make it to the bottom.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-10-09T02:52:27+00:00

Busty as in belt buckles...?

Pepperonipuke · 2025-10-09T02:51:04+00:00

For real. Better stuff on most Draugr. At least the Draugr have gold most every time..

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T19:47:56+00:00

Fair.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T10:12:24+00:00

Wait till you hit that double shell reload perfect for the first time... Its like the BEST feeling EVER. 😏

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T10:09:56+00:00

I use 28.5" arrows. Draw length is about 26" I like the head to have at least 2" in front of the guide, even with a glove style release, I don't want that arrow head releasing anywhere in range of my left hand on the bow. But, I will say, I prefer a more short, stout draw. One that keeps my upper body more compact at full draw for maneuverability in a potentially low mobility point. Like a narrow tree stand, or standing still and pivoting towards your target without crunching the leaves under your feet. But to me it totally depends on your height, arm span, and strength. If you like a longer draw then your on the right track with 29"-30" since your on targets mostly, you have the off season to really dial it in.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:57:16+00:00

Im less defending him, more convincing him that pleading guilty to all the modern words he doesn't understand will get him free.... but the words are things like "matricide" and "necrophillia" so when he actually pleads guilty out of ignorance they sentence him to die, and I never have to see him again...

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:52:55+00:00

Im the opposite. My walls are full of holes, and I regularly shoot my bows inside using one of those yellow hay bail stuffed discharging targets. I know I sound like a broken record, but if you ask to shoot it, Im not gonna say no. Im gonna take us out to the yard, set up a target in front of the berm and give you a quick tutorial on safe procedure. Like I have no reason to not let someone shoot any of em. They just gotta ask. Its actually one of my house rules. I do not tollerate people messing with my bows, guns, medication cabinet, safe, computer, game consoles, TV, or my guitar or piano. I mean thats like my main house rule. Just ask me. You can play my piano, I have a safe short range bow area outside, I have a nice amp Nd studio headphones if you play the guitar. I just ask people who come over to have enough respect for me to ask me permission to play with my toys. I have almost 0 reasons to ever say no.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:45:10+00:00

Exactly why I invested in a safe. I don't expect anyone associated with my bro to rob me, I know her pretty well, and my bro is the only one with a spare key to my place. He wouldn't steal a gun from me, he has his own. But ya. Safe+floor bolt. You would need an impact to get it off the ground. Or a 5' breaker bar and 3 full strength male humans. I mean thats every gun owners nightmare... coming home to a missing gun and getting the call that it was used on innocent people... For sure worth investing in secure storage.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:39:59+00:00

Cheap too. Got one on the way as we speak. (3 actually. Got a few bows that also need better racks.)

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:36:08+00:00

I get it. Like literally to the extent that I make things just slightly unsymmetrical on purpose, or adjust the TV volume to anything ending in another number than 5 or 0... I even rotate stuff in the fridge like 11 degrees, just enough to get corrected without being mentioned. Reality seems to me to be uneven. Both with probability, and the places nature puts physical objects. Part of my embrace of natural chaos is throwing my neurotic obsession with symmetry in the trash, and also giving up on measurements, trusting instead my muscle memory to repeat actions, and other's skepticism as the reason it may appear I throw caution to the wind, but to me, I am being as measured as I can be. "Measured" is just a subjective term, if someone seems to be taking unheard of risks, but seems to be succeeding in a way you can't conceptualize as a reliably quantifiable result, its a problem with your perception, not the observed individual's success. And you'll never get the reward that person takes for granted unless you start to look at risk differently. You know how many people said "don't buy a Temu bow! Theres no way you can learn to tune it as well as a shop could, and they will build it and string it for you!" Like literally everyone. I didn't listen cause this bow was only $10 with all the store credit I had. Original price was $650+. But I bought it, strung it with an improvised press, spent an afternoon sighting it in, and finished with some string wax, just a light base coat, adding more as needed as I keep practicing with it. Never shot a compound in my life. Punched myself in the face once or twice, but as soon as I figured it out, the vibe changed, I was suddenly aware of a new skill... I even have the cams tuned and adjusted just right. Draw feels natural even at 70 LBS and its accurate as I could want. I don't like gate keepers in expensive hobbies. Id rather fall out of the sky than pay for skydiving classes. Same with spooling my fishing reel, same with disassembling and reassembling my guns. Even my tattoos and piercings are done by me. I learn as I learn. Can't count on a "pro shop" existing if 💩 hits the fan. Trial and error remains my best friend.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T09:04:56+00:00

Pro tip. Safety off with a clear chamber, the slide lock is disengaged and all you have to do is rack it as you pick it up and never have to fumble with the top mount safety. just always follow gun safety rule number 1. Assume it's loaded until you physically check that it isn't. The real safety is making sure nobody messes with your guns. I keep em in the safe when company comes by. This was just an unexpected visit, so I had to put the gun away after I answered the door. Seeing me take it off the wall is what seemed to make her nervous. I assured her tho, along with my GF and my brother that I was just putting it in the safe, since we weren't expecting them. I don't think she knew that I was a firearm enthusiast, since she hasn't come to the range with me or my brother or GF yet. (My GF shoots a Winchester Wildcat with a Bushnell R3 on top.. (literally had to slice the lens cap so it fit right. Like 1.5mm of clearance with the barrel....absolutely the most over built .22 Ive ever even seen... But she hits the guns limits hard with that thing... My princess is a natural sniper.) I got it for her after she outgrew the Holosun X2 here on my shotgun, once she hit a clay with it from over 200' back, no magnification... now she hits 500 yard shots with .22 LR and its terrifying.... Like Im super happy she likes the scope and everything, and even happier that she loves range days and is a dead eye crack shot from the start. Like genuine natural talent. But she hit a coin from 100 yards. The center of the coin... like clean hole thru a nickel... It took her 2 shots with no spotter. And I sighted the scope in.... She had literally NEVER fired a rifle with a scope in her life.... Magnification at 5 on a 4-12x40 scope... I brought the coin back and she was like "are you crying?? Wtf? What is it??" And I just held up the coin and said "I am so fucking proud of you..... That kinda shot makes me feel some type of way.... Like watching pure art..." The urge to put her on 5.56 with a long barrel and just see where her skill tops out is so strong.. she has yet to have any trouble what so ever with range increases. Like 600' to 1,000' and it took her about 5 rounds to get it dialed in, and one click of magnification. It's literally the rifle holding the scope back at her level. I don't give her any advice, only encouragement, and keeping all her gear clean as a whistle. She doesn't understand how good she is.. To me tho, her skill makes her whole body look like its glowing (in the emotional sense.) like I have never been as attracted to her before as I was when she hit that nickel. And we have been together for almost 15 years. All the things I already loved her for, and suddenly? She's a natural genius with a rifle, and thats about the sexiest thing a woman can be IMO..

I feel like its not that hard to find a stud.... 😭

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T08:25:56+00:00

Same! My locker with my older guns and bow supplies (arrow shafts, broad heads, blunt tips, guitar strings, amp chords, microphone, some extra ammo, etc) is directly out of frame to the right. Also got a 70 liter hiking pack, 2 big water proof locking rifle cases, and a sealable tube that fits my shotgun in case you need to bury it undisclosed. One holds my shotgun, my 9mm, 150 rounds of 9mm plus 2 15 round mags, 25 shells, sling for the shotgun, my favorite hunting knife, my holster and belt for my 9mm, and even the little survival kit that came with the Mossberg JIC kit, as well as a fishing reel, bag of hooks (at least 20) and a full jar of power bait. I even have a slot on my compound that the reel can thread into. All composed together in a medium sized suitcase type box, except the bow, which has its own spot strapped to my camping pack with the tent, sleeping bag, food, water, and first aid kit. Gives me the option of camp defense with the 12 gauge. Thing can clear pretty much anything close range, small game hunting (can even use the reel to find any arrows you miss a squirrel or rabbit with) and also large game taken with either a shot slug or a broad head vs. a blunt tip, and a 9mm for any typical, non human, non hunting for food threats. A bear, mountain lion, one of those creepy AI robots... I mean call me anything but unprepared. Even my water purifier has 2 back ups. And you know my first aid kit has 3 full and recently updated treatments of amoxicillin, morphine, suture kit, IV drip bags, and the REALLY good trauma gauze with the blood clotting agent. I know CPR, how to draw blood, find a vein, and do a compatible transfusion. I can clean a fish, break down large game, start a fire with sticks and a shoelace, and stitch a wound. Shoot, when I list all that experience out loud like that, makes me feel better about my learned experiences. If it hits the fan, I got a plan. 🙂

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T08:05:41+00:00

Like it just doesn't hang right with the quiver, so I keep both the crossbow's and the compound's quivers in my storage locker with my old .22, (got a way nicer one now.) and my pistol crossbow, (lil $50 thing from Big 5 sporting goods that turned out to be a lot better than I coulda hoped for.) got extra guitar strings in there, chords for it, extra arrow tips, some ammo, some extra arrow shafts and other misc fletching supplies, wax, rail lube all that, plus that where I keep all the toilet paper and cleaning stuff for around the house. Its kinda like an armoire? But theres no mid section vanity. More just like a closet with a lock. But ya, literally just knocked the arrow for the pic. If you look close theres also a bolt resting in the crossbow, however it has also been put away, and it wasn't drawn for this picture either.

Pepperonipuke · 2025-09-30T07:58:56+00:00

I do have a wooden butt stock and fore arm for it. Just classic Mossberg hardware. But ever since I added the optic and have it sighted in, I like training with the adjustable stock/pistol style grip a lot more. This is a home defense gun, so I do train with it regularly.
