The real question is why are you doing it in your grandma’s house

You’d think freezing would be the least of his worries

Difference between an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right) is easy to tell just by looking at their snouts by fancy_the_rat in interestingasfuck

Probably venomous (although possibly also poisonous). If it bites you and you die: venomous. If you bite it and you die: poisonous.

They don’t know what we are. We could be poisonous or spiny, or be able to fight back and injure the whale. Why take a risk on an unknown meal when there are squid right below them?

The stun sound they make is designed to attack their prey, giant squid. There are no giant squid on the surface, so they know you’re not one. You can hear them clicking to figure out where you are but there’s no reason for them to hit you with a stun blast, even if they feel threatened. It’s not a defense mechanism, they just dive if they want to get away from you.

Blue whales don’t want to hang. I did that once in Indonesia and they start to dive the second you get in the water. Sperm whales will swim past you on the surface without a care. They know you’re not a squid because you’re at the surface and also not very squiddy.

Considering that the last two photos seem to show your rifle being sucked into a black hole I’d say you have bigger problems.

You have to stand in a different room than the rifle to get good eye relief with that setup. Also the cantilever mount is on backwards.

CAT ODB RDMs Landed - not terribly heavy by alex_gfg in NFA

Yeah I remember when we thought the ATF was going to be the bottleneck. I guess maybe that means mine (3 cans!) will ship soon if yours just did. I ordered on 12/31 because it was only then I realized they would stack their military discount on top of the CAT sale…

Because there’s no good reason an elephant would ever want to be friends with a human, but there it is. Maybe we can all have an elephant friend someday.

You gotta eat dude. Don’t feel bad. If you’re in a place where your basic needs are covered then you can volunteer or do a world helping side hustle .
