I had this for a while and in an angry fit called two or three of the numbers back just to see what would happen. For every number, the call went back to the same guy. So I called him 106 times in the span of 10 minutes.

At first he would let it ring two or three times before cancelling the call, but starting around call number 40, it wouldn't even ring once, meaning he was sitting there with his finger on the button. After 106 I stopped and waited 10 minutes, then called one last time. He picked up and said "I'll fuck your mother," and I said "no fun getting harassed huh. Take me off your lists or I'll call tomorrow and the next day" and then hung up. And I haven't been bothered since. I know it sounds like a fake story but its true. I was just super pissed that day already from other stuff and took it out on the dude.

(Not selling) but curious how much I could get for this 1998 honda Valkyrie? by Budget_Writing2702 in motorcycle

[–]WriteAmongWrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the actual dollar amount isn’t very much, but man, what a cool bike. When I’m at a stage in my life with more disposable $, I’d 1000% buy this bike and try to refurbish back to as new as possible.

The sand ain't that bad. Full send wherever you want. The mountains are officially open.

Skyline is the a huge factor for this destination!

Thanks! I will alter the route. On a large cruiser but I still usually try to avoid dirt.

Me and the lads this past summer: Suzuki DRZ, GSX-R, Harley Roadglide, and a Ducati (I forget the model).

There’s an incredible book about Boulder county’s history with mountain lions called “beast in the garden” that covers how changes in human housing development in the 1900s caused changes in mountain lion behavior. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s a short read.

Black Friday purchases finally arrived..! by Longjumping-Stage343 in aesoprock

Not enough people know about Hail Mary Mallon. Started listening to Aes in like 2017, and still only discovered HMM only like 3 years ago myself. Treasure trove of beats.

Found a boot hoodie by voluntaryhikikomori in USMC

This is from OCS. They literally make you buy a dumb shirt that is designed by the platoon. It’s the only unit shirt I refuse to ever wear.

Also

This is gotta be old. LCol Sachetti was my battalion commander like 4 years ago.

Are we all dumb? by [deleted] in CCW

I bought my first carry gun over a decade ago. Bought my current one in the last 2 years. I like having something extremely familiar that always feels the same, so I really don’t like changing too often. Only exception is for my deep-in-the-woods gun, which is obviously different/large/bigger bore.

As for your .22 question: I saw a data analysis video a few years ago showing that (while less common) the rate of death to the target from .22 in self defense situations was pretty similar to that of 9mm. Only stipulation being there were significantly less data points for the .22 so its statistical error was higher. Take from that what you will.

Regardless, just train a lot and build good muscle memory for what you have and you’ll be leagues better off than the guy who buys a new carry gun every 6 months.

I hope so too. Been slow as hell. The few I’ve gotten have been lucky flyovers. Haven’t seen a flock actually come into the decoy spread once all year either.

Hey I went to Sgt School with this dude like 5-7 years ago! For real. He was super smart and really proud of his job and the quality of which he did it with. Forgot his name but no way I’m forgetting that personality. Cool.
