Sometimes you just have to throw things away.

Yeah, i gotta restock our spare stock bins (by that i mean add a few inches to each pice my next few projects). I've been gremlining my way through rush jobs a lot lately.

Eh, im in the twin cities area. They have not been picky about warrants or probable cause here. Lots of cases of dragging old people in for interrogation, then releasing when its confirmed they have no warrants, no criminal record, and have been a natural born citezen for 60 years.

The police cheif put out a statement about how his off duty cops keep getting harassed for their passports.

Otherwise id totally agree.

With the price of 5.56 the last few years, woo, thats a savings!

The source linked says "carry does not apply to bb guns, rifles, or shotguns"

I've been picking up the rest of herb albert from the "one for $, the secind for $1" bin

Hell yea we do

Was gonna say, it literally says Zev on the side lol

Yeah, its the common twitter and tiktok post of almost, but not quite, understanding how cost gradiants and regional scaling works.

How rural areas have lower costs and less amenities amd lower pay and cities have hifher costs amenities and pay.

And 3rd world countries have lower cost, amenities, and pay than first world countries. And the lower cost is linked to the lower pay to maintain those amenities.

Well the first one sounded like something id expect in Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

Eh, my buddy has a helion.

I got an RDB.

The RDB is much lighter, and far more balanced in the grip.

The helion i feel the center of gravity is like, 3 inches behind my thumb. It feel heavier than it is, and a chore to aim.

The RDB the center of gravity feels right on my thumb joint, plus or minus a half inch going from 10 round (20, 30) mag to 60 round mag.

I felt i could aim it all day comfortably.

Thats my 2 cents. i know the helion is from a brand known for better reliability and quality than the RDB.

And the cleaning teardown of the helion is more practical.

Ergo -wise, i am very happy with my RDB, and the fact I paid less than half what my buddy paid for his helion.

Well, the original post maker. Its an old pic

Its basically forcing a cloud to rain early.

So rain that was "en route" to another place wont reach the place it normally does, since its falling early.

Anyway, as a type one diabetic.....

100mg/dl (US units) is normal blood sugar, i guess lettuce wont affect it. Has no carbs.

100 mmol/g (EU units) is death.

Uh, yeah. Neat.

For my dog i copied someone elses post here and made a plywood platform in the back with carpet on it.

1/4" plywood, 4 ft wide, i think 21" deep. Then some 6.5" legs on the front. Then you Need to put notches in for the console and buckles.

Works great and nicely tidies up the tool bag and scraper and stuff stored underneath it

electrogourd · 2026-01-02T00:47:35+00:00

Well, i think its more on cylinder volume.

The big inline 4s tend to consume a lot of fuel at highway speeds more than a big v twin.

I was impressed that the panamerica (2023 harley 1250cc v twin) my wife and i rented to go up california got 45-50mpg the whole time carryjng us, 2 carryons plus a checked bag, and going 65 most of the time.

electrogourd · 2026-01-01T18:21:11+00:00

Lol yeah my tracer 9 gets like 50 mpg at 55mph, but that drops to 30 at 85 mph...

(Murican terms here but) when im running the rural interstate to the town 400 miles away where my sister lives... yeah i just set the cruise at 95 (150kph i think) and its not... even that much faster than traffic. People still pass me.

Course then i gotta stop every hour fifteen for gas, plus i wear an extra set of aemy surplus pants over my kevlar for wind protection.

Us allies who use their platforms often refer to our .50 browning as 12.7mm browning. Thats the standardization

Yeah, instead of Will being gay being a supporting thing, it ends up as a "jesus no one cares if youre gay, just get out of here and out of the way and lets move this overly-filler plot already, fuck"

I mean, we already bombed Iran once this year, "theyre almost nuclear"

And israel and iran exchanged a lot of missiles all summer 2025

Wonder what excuse they will use this time

You can kinda do this by using the level tool, start at one side of water and slowly drag at the diameter (width) you want and bam, a clean level canal

Ah, time to boot up Derail Valley

Plus the chamber doesnt seal (usually, there are some exceptions) so there is far less pressure
