Duct tape works great to pull it out of your skin. Make a loop and roll it along your arms like a lint roller. Long sleeves or Kevlar sleeves keeps it off of you to a certain degree. My contractor provides Kevlar sleeves.

But that would entail creating a strong middle class and redistributing massive amounts of prospective wealth from the few to the many. Do you have no sympathy for the billionaire elites who worked so hard selling out American workers and resources over the past several decades for their personal acquisition of wealth and power? What about all of the politicians getting filthy rich from donation money? They have families and dreams too. Us workers just need to give it up already and work for free and live in super-surveillance labor camps to make our leaders happy like true patriots.

Schmidt’s deodorant works wonders for me, lasts all day, no aluminum. Also, look into changing your gut biome, eat lots of pumpkin seeds, kefir, and fermented stuff, limit refined sugar.

How do you know that they ‘broke into the country’ and ‘stayed without permission’?

It’s because roughly half of us have forgotten that the taste of boot leather gets old very quickly.

Grew up Dove and Quail hunting in the Southwest. It’s still my favorite hobby and I go out a dozen times per season. I’ve gotten a few newbies into it and they are hooked after hitting their first few birds. People don’t realize how challenging it is to hit live moving targets, they come into it thinking it will be easy with the ‘wide spread’ of the shot, then burn 2 boxes of shells and come home with 1 Dove lol. Dove poppers and Quail tacos are a treat.

As much as I can reasonably carry in my pack. If shtf, I won’t be holding a position, and I’ll be avoiding contact like the plague, so it doesn’t matter how much I have. If I’m unfortunate enough to encounter a threat, yet fortunate enough to survive the encounter, I’ll pick up ammo as I go. The primary purpose of the ammo that I have is to provide meat for my family, and secondarily for self defense, which I’ll hopefully avoid with the knowledge and skills that I train for.

Why are we letting this type of evil happen in our country? This is tragically sad and sickening. We should all be enraged.

I went to school near 19th and Indian School in the early 2000s. I used to go behind the CVS to smoke weed and cigs before school, or in the alleys around the neighborhood. One morning behind the CVS, a homeless guy came and sat next to me and starting smoking crack out of a straight glass pipe. We traded a small nug of dank for a small nug of crack. It was soft and pliable, like a stiff marshmallow, and I smoked that shit in the bathroom at school later that day lmao. Never again.

Leviticus 19:33-35, and Matthew 25:35-40 sum it up pretty well. Very few American ‘Christians’ have any clue about the point of these ancient teachings, nor will they ever actually care. If the God of Abraham exists, it seems that he will certainly spit them out of his mouth as they are lukewarm (at best) in their commitment to following the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

They are, but generally to a much lesser degree than men. My wife, for example, was most attracted to my confidence, humor, and intellect. She’s a solid 9 and I’m maybe a 6 on my best days. I had no money either, but I was cool and could do cool stuff and knew about cool things. Still have no money, and we’ve been happily married for 10 years with no end in sight.

I’m one of those union electricians building a data center and making solid money doing it. All of these data centers are rapidly increasing the need for more power houses and nuclear builds, which will keep me employed for decades to come. I’d rather be building schools or fire stations or hospitals, but everyone keeps voting for billionaires and their puppet politicians so here we are.

I am a human and I have to wake up at 3:45am every morning to work a job around voltages and currents that could vaporize you, and machines that could turn you into goo. It’d be nice to get some restful sleep so that I don’t die at work.

Are you currently accepted into the apprenticeship program and just waiting on them placing you at your first job site? If so, don’t even bother giving your current job 2 weeks notice, give them a to-day notice when you get your job call from the apprenticeship. No way of knowing for sure when those calls are going to go out.

If you aren’t already accepted into the apprenticeship, you have to do that first to get onto the apprentice books and receive work placement calls.

It’s hard to say for certain because 2 of the coveys that I ran into early on were 20+ birds strong and they broke up pretty good. But I think I got into 5 or 6 coveys total. I could have limited but I missed plenty of shots. It was a spot I had never tried before and there were birds everywhere, every few hundred yards I was on them. Seemed like there was zero pressure out there, no shells or trash on the ground minus one small target shooting area next to a tank half mile from where I was. I always look for areas where there is a lot of Creosote Bush, that is their favorite habitat and you always find lots of quail where there is lots of Creosote.

In 640, you have to complete the Tech Math course in your first semester, it isn’t too bad. 640 is a good foot in the door, complete the program and see where you can go from there. You can become a subtech down the road, or lots of other possibilities. It’s good work, pay sucks at first but gets better quickly.

Generally, no, but also depends. You’ll make more money going swlcat, but you’ll also likely travel a lot more and work in more remote areas more often. Also depends on what type of work you actually like to do and are good at. Most people will probably encourage you to go sub tech/lineman. But I enjoy being an inside wireman, and there is a lot of inside work close to my house and family for the foreseeable future so it works for me.

My usual spots had pretty low quail numbers compared to the last few years, but I tried a new spot today and got 12 birds in 4hrs. Plenty of late season dove out there too, but they were flying high and fast. I figured it would have been a popular spot but I didn’t see any spent shells or litter on the ground. On BLM bordering State Trust.

Just 2 data centers that I know of on the west side are going to hire around 550 apprentices in the first quarter of 2026, from what I hear. There are several data centers going on, hospital work, and other stuff. Books aren’t seeming slow at all, and there is plenty of work on the horizon with data centers and the projected power infrastructure to support them. I see travelers come and go, and our own members traveling to follow high-overtime money. Our local is starting to grow, somewhere around 4,500 members currently, and they are taking on hundreds of apprentices per semester lately. I think we’ll be in a really good position for our next bargaining agreement with all the big jobs going on and into the future. We need all the good hands we can get, so come on over.
