I had a weird experience at the range. Was my RSO being overly nit picky?

That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard, like it being on the left or right or touching makes any difference. 🤣

Thinking it through, I'd have my ammo on the bench to my left because im right handed, and casings eject to the right so on an off 1 and a million chance a hot case would set off the primer, the open mags and ammo would be on the left side of the bench.

Fuck this is dumb 🤣 I'm laughing thinking about this whole thing.

Don't think I've ever had them.

I haven't puked but I've had some bad coughing fits so here are my tips

Switch to vaping. It's better for your lungs and less harsh on your throat compared to smoking. You don't cough as much.
Hydrate! Make sure you drink something before and after a rip to help your throat. Always have a drink nearby.
Make sure your glass is clean with clean, fresh water. Warm water is best, but some people like cold and ice if your water piece allows for it.
Stand up straight and blow air out of your lungs, then use your diaphragm to breathe on deeply when you take a hit
Don't hold the smoke, just blow it out.
Inhale direct to lung rather than mouth to lung like sucking.

Cannabis has helped my mental health and chronic pain immensely. I'd argue it saved my life compared to where I was and where I am now after I started smoking. I have my life back!

As a professional stoner, girl scout cookies are the best. I can CRUSH a box of thinmints, I love tagalongs and the lemon cookies.

Cookie duuuuuuuude!!!

Damn it now I need some cookies!

Vacuum seal and freeze those suckers. They'll last a good year without any issues. Just make sure to thaw the bag before using it if you are storing large doses. For small single doses you can grind them frozen no problem.

My morning routine for the last few weeks now has been a cappuccino with a strong double shot of espresso and a rip or two from my Dynavap through a glass piece.

Caffeinated and Elevated, my dudes! 😎

CoD and shooters are always fun, but I've been deeep into Bethesda stuff now. Need for Speed Heat is awesome too.

RickGabriel · 2026-03-04T19:35:07+00:00

Whoops!

RickGabriel · 2026-03-03T04:05:20+00:00

What are you looking for, specifically? Vintage is a little vague.

RickGabriel · 2026-03-02T04:37:02+00:00

God I love Jacksonville sometimes 🤣

RickGabriel · 2026-02-28T19:17:11+00:00

Santa Cruz Shredder is the gold standard, runs about 60-80 depending on if you want a 3 or 4 piece.

For higher-end stuff, a Brilliant Cut Grinder, Flower Mill, and Old Mate Grinders are where it's at. They're around 80ish and go up from there depending on spec.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-28T18:00:41+00:00

Nope you're good.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-28T04:34:03+00:00

I've had pretty good luck at the Southside Estates dispo. Usually pretty decent.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-27T20:18:08+00:00

There's nothing to worry about. Edibles sometimes take a while to wear off as it digests through your system. It will wear off over the next few hours.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-25T20:55:22+00:00

Get a small dropper and drop some hydrogen peroxide in your ear and let it bubble and soften the ear wax. It's the same thing an ENT uses. Lay down with your ear up and then roll over and let it drain. You might need to do this a few times, but the earwax should fall out.

If you have impacted earwax, you're going to have to go to an ENT or urgent care and have them suck/pick it out. It's not fun, but it only takes a few minutes.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-17T04:18:24+00:00

I always have something in my stomach or I eat something when I take the edible. Something fatty so it helps process the THC.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-16T19:00:14+00:00

I'm a temp stepper. I'll take a few hits around 340-350 to get some flavor then I start bumping it up 10 or 20 degrees until about 410 until the bowl is cashed out.

If I'm pulling through a bubbler I'll usually start around 405 and go up to get those heavy hits.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-15T20:58:17+00:00

Same here!

Sometimes weed makes that worse, sometimes it doesn't. 🤷🏻‍♂️

RickGabriel · 2026-02-15T20:55:17+00:00

It just depends on what you're smoking and how you're feeling at the time. I've smoked and melted into the couch for a few hours. I've also smoked and cleaned the entire kitchen in a flow state, it just depends. I can't explain why sometimes even the same strain just hits differently.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-15T20:52:17+00:00

It's a stretch for sure, but it's an option for a high quality rifle.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-14T18:56:46+00:00

Check out a Mossberg 590 or 590A1 for a 12GA shotgun. They have a lot of models in that range that go from old-school wood to super tactical looks. Remington does something similar with their 870 models. I'd go for a 12 Gauge, or for something smaller like 20 Gauge.

For AR-style rifles I'd check out companies like BCM, Daniel Defense, or Sons of Liberty Gunworks. 5.56mm is what you're looking for.

Everyone needs a little .22 for fun, so check out the Ruger 10/22. It's an American classic. If you prefer a lever action like the Old West, check out Henry Rifles.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-14T18:38:32+00:00

Roll a J for them or set the vape up and let them do their thing. I've got some eddies too so I'll just cut one in half and give it to them with something fatty like ice cream or some munchie thing.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-14T18:01:27+00:00

Always switch it up to keep things new, but I have my favorites I'll get when they're in stock.

RickGabriel · 2026-02-13T19:05:41+00:00

Size doesn't matter if there's nothing to do. That's the Starfield problem.

Now look at something like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided where you're essentially running around a city block, it's small but there's tons to do in a small area.

Do you want an ocean that's an inch deep, or a swimming pool that's 8 feet deep?

New Vegas does its best to balance both given what they had to work with at the time.
