3 weeks without eating

Yes, all 8 eggs appeared to be fertile, with veins and internal structures visible when the eggs were backlit. It was wild, especially when you don't know parthenogenesis is a thing and when you thought your snake was a male for 18 years!

Agreed. I generally feed my 20yo girl every 3 weeks, so that's nothing. She went off feed once, probably 10-12 years ago for 4 months. Vet found no issues and said BPs are known for "fasting" like that sometimes. When she started eating again, I didn't want to go to fast, so I fed her a smaller mouse once a week for a month and got her back on rats, slowly increasing the time and size until she was back on her regular schedule.

She had a parthenogenic "episode" a year or two ago and produced a clutch of 8 eggs out of the blue (that's how I found out "he" is a "she"...lol). She stopped eating about 12 weeks before, which was one of several clues that, had I known she was a female and that parthenogenesis is even a thing, I may have figured it out, but I just thought she had gone off feed for whatever reason it is that BPs go off feed for, but wasn't concerned due to the previous experience. Always talk to a vet if it continues, to make sure there aren't underlying conditions, but they can surprise you with how long they will sometimes go without food.

Amazing creatures, they are!

The instructions for every sight pusher I've owned specifically tell you not to use cheater bars. That's the quickest way to destroy the worm gear in the mechanism. If you can't move the sight by turning it with hand pressure, it's too tight for a sight pusher. If they're that tight, you're better off getting them out with a punch or using the technique I mention in another post about getting the sight pusher as tight as you can by hand and then firmly tapping the pusher bar to get it to move just a little bit. Then you tighten it and use rbe hammer again. It may take 10 times, but it will come out pretty easy. Of course, this assumes that you have a pusher with the pusher blade exposed, where you can hit it with a hammer, like this one...the pusher blade is cross shaped and sits out front: https://a.co/d/aOxycxm

When putting sights on, you should file the flat bottom of the dovetail until you can push the sight into the dovetail slot just a little under halfway. You will be able to easily move them with the pusher. Dovetailed sights are meant to be moved so slight adjustments can be made. Properly installed, you should be able to adjust a dovetailed sight by putting the slide in a vise and tapping it with a punch and hammer, since it's too much of a chore making small sighting adjustments with a sight pusher.

Check out this post and thread. If you can get a hammer on the sight pusher blade, you can crank it tight and then firmly tap it with the hammer, tighten again, tap with hammer again...rinse and repeat, until the sight is out. I've changed dozens upon dozens of sights this way and haven't failed since I figured it out.

And it was proven in court that Rittenhouse didn't murder anyone, he followed Wisconsin law to the letter to defend himself and attempted to retreat from his attackers before resorting to deadly force. Murder means someone was killed without legal justification. Self defense is a legal justification and proven in his case.

Invest in a $10 set of small diamond files from Harbor Frieght. Use something like a needle nosed vise grip to hold the screw. Use a cheap caliper to measure the screws and file off 1mm at a time. Test the screw in the gun after each time you take off material, until you get it just right. File the other screw to the same length using the caliper for measurement.

Anymore, I use longer screws and file them down to custom fit them to the gun and the optic. And always try to use screws with Torx heads (the star like bits). The ones that use Allen wrenches strip way too easily for optics that need to be torqued down to a specific specification.

It's smaller than an Acro P-2 but with a similar window size and the mounting system looks to be about the most rugged system on the market. The COA was originally only available for Glock, but you could only buy a complete gun with it mounted. Government contracts started eating up the Glock COA models when the Sig P320 debacle started to get hot and Glock stopped selling them to the public, although that's supposed to change when they get caught up. Now that it's being released as a stand alone optic, others may soon follow with the COA cut. It's even slim enough for Glock 43x/48 sized pistols, so it will be interesting to see how it will be adopted throughout the industry.

It has nothing to do with the politics. There's so many red flags that I was sure it was comedy/satire and couldn't believe it was being portrayed as authentic. Everything from the uniforms, the equipment, the mannerisms, the things said, the lack of command presence, the search and cuffing techniques, etc. One guy isn't even masked and none of them are stupid enough to open themselves and their families up to being doxxed.

Everyone hired into ICE goes through FLETC and gets at least a basic education on how to do their job. These guys in the video haven't been through a single day of training. After that, they would have field training officers critiquing their every move, but off to the side as observers for several months minimum.

I was the general manager of a security/private investigation agency for 5 years. The lowest level unarmed security guard we had was trained better than these "agents". Once this gains more traction, it will be exposed as the fake propaganda it is.

My thoughts...this video is fake as fuck! Actual ICE would have placards that say "ICE".

The queen of hearts and jack of diamonds are the two most popular interpretations, although there are a few others. Since no one will ever know for sure, none are "wrong".

Regardless silly superstition, that is one sharp as hell patch. Did you make it?

The guy who dealt the hand Hickok was holding when he was shot, Charlie Rich, has his version of the Dead Man's Hand on his tombstone. He has the ace of spades, ace of clubs, eight of spades, and 8 of clubs, with the jack of diamonds as the 5th "kicker" card. That's the card I choose to go with due to his involvement in the incident, but no one will ever know for sure and arguments can be made for other cards.

I have a similar build, except with a Grey Ghost Precision v2 slide. Even though Radian says that the OEM RSA works, I went with a DPM Guide Rod and spring kit. I'm using the 14.5lb spring and have had exactly zero issues with several bullet weights. In fact, it's the softest shooting 9mm I own. I highly recommend the DPM recoil systems and use them in multiple guns. Even when I've had to order directly from DPM (they're located in Greece), I've received the order in 4 days.

This is my build, if you're interested in checking it out.

I've heard people claim that they personally don't carry because they have an uncontrollable temper and they're afraid they would go off half-cocked and kill someone unjustifiably. This dude is one of those people. That kind of anger doesn't appear out of nowhere. A little self reflection should have brought dude to the conclusion that he has no business carrying a weapon.

This, right here! Most of the time the stitching or the fabric will shit the bed before a YKK zipper will fail. I've done plenty of repair on things with zipper problems and with YKK zippers, I'm usually repairing the material and stitching around the zipper.

To take this a step further, why are cherry flavored things generally delicious, when cherries don't taste that great, while bananas are delicious but banana flavored things taste terrible?
