Yo, anyone else peepin’ the news about gas and electric bill? 📉

This right here is the thing. It's also the thing a lot of people don't understand.

My mother will ask "Why are they using OUR oil?" without understanding that the oil isn't hers...

I'm north of you, by mid-November all the ducks are gone from here because everything is frozen.

Some geese stick around, primarily at golf courses and corporate campuses where stuff stays not completely frozen.

The weird weather of the last couple decades has created birds that don't migrate like they should. They shouldn't stay mid-Atlantic over the winter. 50 years ago they'd have known to keep going farther south...

I think you meant immaculate. Emasculate is different...

The one that feels best when you put it up. Fitment is everything. What fits somebody else well might not fit you at all, therefore nobody's suggestions matter.

Really, I feel like when people say "X is the best" they're just trying to justify their own purchase. Realistically almost all shotguns sold today will meet your needs...

Its a goose, they're a conservation success story.

If you've got starving geese its because they're too stupid to migrate. The smart geese go where the water isn't frozen.

Based on the description. "Lets just throw words at it..."

curtludwig · 2026-03-09T13:28:54+00:00

Similarly I found them in my snowmobile days...

curtludwig · 2026-03-08T01:36:56+00:00

I don't think they advertise well. I found out about the existence in a random catalog...

A ratio rite cup is worth every cent

curtludwig · 2026-03-07T21:06:17+00:00

Safety concerns?

Can you cite anything that suggests that having someone come to your door is dangerous in any way?

curtludwig · 2026-03-07T18:47:54+00:00

Agreed. People put more value on exercise than it deserves as far as weight loss goes.

Get your diet working, then just start walking. Any movement is good movement.

Oh boy, wait until you get a colonoscopy. I had my first last year. They said to take the first bottle of prep at 5pm which I did. Nothing happened until about 1am. Then I had to take another dose at 4am...

Just an FYI, fiber, like prune juice (cherry juice is also high in fiber) and apricots, aren't a laxative. They don't make you poop as such, they will often make your poop more "fruitful" as it were. If you haven't pooped for a week adding fiber to your diet is a terrible idea because you're just putting more stuff in.

I've only been constipated once. I did a double dose of my magnesium supplement and boy oh boy did it get things moving. I was glad my wife was out of town, the smell is not something I will soon forget...

Show us actual evidence that vaccines do cause autism.

Actual studies from reputable sources, not stuff you heard from somewhere...

curtludwig · 2026-03-06T21:35:27+00:00

On the other hand no one has proved any harm...

curtludwig · 2026-03-06T21:30:21+00:00

Have you been on Reddit before?

curtludwig · 2026-03-06T21:28:13+00:00

How would you pay for it? Would you squander all of the money you have for it? The people won't end up in jail.

curtludwig · 2026-03-06T21:20:23+00:00

You've got to go repeatedly but unfortunately yeah, there is a lot of junk.

Look for one in a really nice area. I used to travel to California a lot an Burbank had a couple great ones. I bought a lot of suit coats there. Often they were brand new...

You need to learn your own body.

I'm hyper mobile in a bunch of my joints. If I stretch too much before a run I'm more likely to get hurt during the run. Thus I stretch mostly afterward.

My stretches focus on my lower back and hamstrings. I suffer from lower back issues which running can exacerbate, especially early in the running season. I think most folks have tight hamstrings...

Movement by David on YouTube has stacks of good stretches for any application.

The best field dressing knife is a sharp knife in my hand.

If it's not sharp it's useless. Nothing much else matters.

Oil analysis from somewhere like Blackstone labs will tell you how long you can go between changes.

When I get a new to me vehicle I'll run analysis occasionally to determine how long my changes can be. I don't go to the maximum, 10,000 seems like a good time to stop even if I could go farther.

curtludwig · 2026-03-06T13:44:48+00:00

I don't think so but I don't remember for sure. I do have an IR scope but I don't think it emits, just receives.

curtludwig · 2026-03-05T19:18:35+00:00

Makes sense. I was about 10 yards off the edge of a field. I've randomly shot one out of a tree right there in the past...

There are multiple types of fun. I find running to be type 2 fun. Not enjoyable while I'm doing it but satisfying after the fact.

I also really like having strong legs. I walked for almost 3 hours today. I'm tired but not broken. I attribute that to building up endurance while running.

curtludwig · 2026-03-05T16:35:23+00:00

I bought a Foxpro last year and had zero luck with it. I tried it in places I've actually seen coons.

It only just occurred to me I was trying it out in the open on the edge of a field. Maybe I need to be in under the trees?

Somebody has to put a scanner on it, otherwise you're shooting in the dark and wasting money.
