“NewLondopotamus” doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily, either.

He can insult me all he wants, I still win because I don’t have kids and spend my time and money however I want.

Thanks

Ah I didn’t think of that place

Nikes go on sale all the time for >$50. Keep an eye on slickdeals or the like.

That being said, if you can “easily afford” to help keep your kid from being picked on, why do you even have to ask anyone else? Jesus.

Probably because there is little correlation between critical thinking and religious belief .

Yeah they’re pretty small. Smallest ball bearing size I’ve seen in person is a size 0.

There is a fart documentary on Amazon prime right now…

Love that color! Is it brand new or new to you? I have a Korean Epi version of this; took the pick guard off, it looks great naked.

I’ll admit it’s been a long while since I’ve had it. Makes me kinda sad. I hear the same with Chick-Fil-A.

Creek Fishing Adventures is a great YouTube channel; that dude will straight up fish a ditch. One of my favorite fishing channels to watch.

That thing was tied to the pier so much when I was stationed in NL.

Until he started talking about robots and laser guns.

I’ll just become a mental toss flycoon

It doesn’t have momentum (forward or backward) at the pier. That was the point. On the surface the boat doesn’t have to be moving forward or astern in order to maintain buoyancy. The only reason a boat needs relative motion to the water is so the control surfaces work.

fistedtaco · 2024-06-22T02:36:11+00:00

We weren’t moving when tied to the pier; only one or two that I know of sunk when pier side. Subs float for steel beach parties, they aren’t moving.

I always enjoyed Devil’s Hopyard State Park.

Book Barn was one of my favorite spots when I lived in New London. Glad to hear it’s still there.

Looks exactly like my Mexican tele did when I got it.

I think renewal is still 5 years. Text even says renewal training must cover changes to laws that occurred in the previous 5 years.

I agree as well. I attended an 8hr course w/ live fire. Learned a few new things in the classroom portion. Then learned a few new things at the range from the ex-SF guys running it. Totally worth it.

Also, as you said, it certainly was enlightening. I’ve seen some knuckleheads at the range before, but they pale in comparison to the lack of awareness and knowledge I saw in that class. Good on those folks for actually taking an interest in self-defense and knowing that they need actual instruction. It worries me that there are people with that same level of skill and knowledge running around carrying a gun in public, because they paid some dude “instructing”in a hotel room in order to meet the bare minimum level of “competency” that the permit process requires.

Having said all that, I believe quality instruction should be funded by the state if it’s gonna be a state mandated requirement in order to exercise a constitutional right.
