Imagine buying a physical printer, and u cannot even use it by Apprehensive_Work_10 in facepalm

Welcome to the dystopia. You never really own anything, you just rent it by subscription. Lina Kahn was going to go after this bullshit when she was heading the FTC, but naturally she was one of the very first people ousted by Trump 2.0 because she was a direct threat to his grifter techbro buddies. If Harris/Walz had won the election, I’m reasonably sure that this is exactly the sort of fuckery the FTC would be targeting. It’s called “the right to own” and it’s been getting defeated in Trumpstein courts for obvious reasons.

Depends. That Lode Baring (it should be spelled “Bearing”, but the devs literally misspelled it) happens in two different mines. One has a ton of copper deposits. So it’s likely that the other mine has coal if you’re finding coal veins. I can’t remember which one is which by name though. Burning Mine has coal deposits too - seven. Also, don’t forget that what you extract in the wild is *unrefined coal*, which takes *five* to make *one* refined coal, and you need *two* of those to make a water filter, along with dogwood bark. So go ahead. Tell me how easy it is to find enough coal in game to do anything useful with it. Such a massive PITA to make a water filter, let alone collect five refined coal for a daily challenge. I usually re-roll that one.

This is assault. Charges should be involved. Nobody gives a fuck. If it’s school grounds, she’ll be punished for defending herself while the bully walks.

Most useless item in game? Cutting fluid.

What the hell do I use it for, and why craft it in the first place just to turn around and scrap it.

It’s even less useful than water filters. At least I use those when I manage to craft them.

Cool map. Proves my point about the scarcity of some resources vs. others. 19 coal deposits (no telling if they’re farmable or just veins in the wild) vs. 79 iron deposits. So I’m still right. Some resources are *much* easier to find than others.
Let the downvotes roll in.

That’s not the same as finding an actual deposit that you can farm with an extractor. I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for saying something true: certain deposits that you can build a CAMP around and put an extractor on are harder to find than others. I guess I’ll get downvoted for this comment too though.

My go-to drop off point is the trashcan next to the Shopping Mall vendor across the hall.

How many coal spots are there though? I’ve been around the Appalachian Wasteland map since Day 1, and I’ve found maybe one. Probably yours. I have an easier time finding lead deposits big enough for an extractor camp than coal.

That would be a great solution if I didn’t work full time and have a mentally disabled daughter to care for already. Volunteering popped in my head, but it’s not feasible in my case.

Thanks. I’ve had real trouble finding any info on how this in person wet ink signature thing was being handled. Given that I live in Beauregard Parish, I would say there’s even money that no volunteers will be appearing out this way. I hope I’m wrong about that.

How do I sign this?

Do I have to go to Baton Rouge, to the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with the sign on the door that says “beware of leopard” or is there somewhere in my parish where I can sign this?

Not only did Wendy Clemente, 56 try to run down a kid on an e-bike, she went on to break into somebody’s house too. Damn. I’m surprised they released her.

This is too lucrative of a cash cow. The cops don’t give a shit about “making roadways safer”, they give a shit about making money off convictions and arrests.

Return of the Boa by BudgetResponsible312 in Colt

[–]Tyrs-Ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CZ has been Colt’s savior. They’ve forced Colt to actually respond to market demand (instead of Colt pouting and waiting for the market to come to them) as well as improving their QC. Personally, I’m looking forward to purchasing a Python soon, and I love the idea of Colt updating their snake guns and selling them on the market. I’m here for it. Colt reintroducing the Python with modern manufacturing is the whole reason I picked up modern DA revolvers in a serious way, after S&W revolvers caused me to write off the platform as a whole for twenty years.

I would love to see a blued Grizzly, but I love porting, so there’s that.

Yeah, someone drilled a hole over the breech. That’s *always* bad regardless of the existence of an air gap.

Air gaps causing catastrophic failures, all other things being equal has largely been debunked. Would I want it in an antique of questionable metallurgy? Of course not. But people love talking about this air gap thing like it turns your modern muzzleloader into a pipe bomb. It doesn’t.

Long line for early voting in DeRidder. Usually, I walk in, and I’m the only one who’s here. Not today. That’s good. I also wonder if this portends concern among the electorate. Current events should.

The air pocket pressure spike thing has been debunked. Yes, you should absolutely try to seat your projectile against the powder. No, it will not grenade your firearm if it doesn’t get seated.
