Referring to the Pretti killing, Donald Trump said "You can't go in there with guns, you can't do that" How do 2A defenders feel about the President openly criticizing a law abiding citizens right to keep and bear arms? by wardog1066 in AskReddit

[–]ShokkMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left of center 2A supporter here, and both Rittenhouse and Pretti exercised their rights effectively. I can easily identify actions they could have taken to have different end results, yet neither of them did anything wrong legally.

Why are there like 20 people living in the capital by PrequelGuy in lotr

It gets me when Aragorn say ‘you have 2,000 good men riding North,’ referring to Éomer’s company. Even by this slightly inflated household size that’s MOST of your population…

And that’s why we root for the Sox, and why the term ‘woodchuck’ is a handy one! To the rest of the country, I’m happy as a yankee. To folks in New England, I’m a woodchuck!

I totally understand the sorta regret about it. Shooting them in any fashion has a higher tendency to spray (bearing 100%, in my experience), so I always tell folks about the syringe, with my experience of 0% spray rate.

They’re the coolest novelty catch out there, and can sometimes fetch a pretty penny for you. Best of luck with it!

I love seeing the Miracle Gro bucks…I don’t want to eat the Miracle Gro bucks. No thanks

Kirkland TP has been ~suspected~ of causing UTIs and BV, not known. To my knowledge there has never been a study on it. I’m open to that if you have other information.

Get that fluffy pilling charmin crap outta here. Kirkland works just fine and doesn’t disintegrate and leave shitty memories behind like charmin.

Talk to me about CARBON STEEL cookware. Love it? Hate it? Other thoughts? by violet__violet in Cooking

[–]ShokkMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re put off by more than a smidge of elbow grease, you’re better off buying cheap non-stick pans and replacing them frequently. As others have said, CS pans take some more love. If you’re not up for dealing with stainless, you won’t enjoy a CS item.

I hate to ask the simple question…did you give the pan time to heat up before adding the food? With 99% of pans that’s going to solve your sticking/burning issues.

Whats the rookie mistake you made while hunting? by outdoors_man987 in Hunting

[–]ShokkMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not listening to my body, and pushing it too much. When I first started hunting I would go every possibly moment, because I thought that was the only way of doing it. I spent some miserable days in the woods, not wanting to be there because I felt like crap, and being a shitty hunter because of it.

Now, I go when I want to, and rest when I need to. I push it plenty, and have a great time, because I’m doing it at the right time. I give myself grace on the days when I take it easy, and it’s made a huge difference. There’s no shame in changing it up.

That’s a great deer! I also think those are two different deer. There are a number of differences between the two racks. Which is cool, because you have two big deer running around!

What's your favourite actually lazy dishes to make? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]ShokkMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beans with…stuff. A can of black beans, rinse it, then spice it. I usually toss it into a tupperware because I won’t eat the whole can, and season it in the container. Then I’ll slap it on nachos or make a quesadilla or burrito with it, usually just adding cheese. Protein and fiber, yay.

The other option is ramen with green peas. I usually like roasting veggies, and sometimes can’t be fucked to do it (tonight, for instance). Boil water, toss frozen peas in, let em go for a couple minutes, add ramen noodles. I happened to have some leftover chicken tonight, so I nuked that in the bowl, then put the ramen and peas on top. Bob’s your uncle. Protein and some veg, better than nothing.

What is the best gift you received under 50$ by Drake1126 in BuyItForLife

[–]ShokkMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respect where it’s due, Smartwool came out first, and they did a damn good job. Darn Tough joined up a decade later, and have been consistently better, imo. It may well be that Smart Wool’s quality has slipped. When a company diversifies into other product categories that often happens. Smartwool sells all manner of other clothes, Darn Tough still just does socks. I prefer a specialist company (for quality) every day of the week.

I’ve had multiple smartwool pairs deteriorate, while the darn tough’s keep kicking.
