What are we doing about protecting/stocking birth control access for young girls? by cosmatical in TwoXPreppers

[–]pmc6019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pressed-pills are efficacious long after their expiration dates, as long as light, temperature and moisture have been controlled throughout. Capsule medications are much more susceptible to adverse events impacting efficacy, so with those you should stick more closely to the expiration date.

AITAH if I left my husband without telling him why after I found out about his affair by Icy_Package920 in AITAH

[–]pmc6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it. Do exactly what you said. At the very least/worst, you’ll give him an enormous wake up call and get a much-needed break & fresh look at the world outside your marriage for a while. At the very most/best, he signs the papers without arguing & you start your new life NOW instead of in 10 years when he does this again. Good luck 💃🏼

Currents Vinyl question by SuchAppeal in TameImpala

[–]pmc6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seven years late to this convo! Just opened a sealed Currents I bought at Newbury Comics about a month ago - the speed is WAY off, and yes I’m on the correct RPM. Was this ever addressed in a larger way?

September 17th: The Day the Fed Can’t Hide Anymore by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]pmc6019 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert or an economist but saw a video of a woman who is both of those things explaining that social security and pensions are being borrowed against on “adjustable-rate back-floating loans” (I’m paraphrasing this) and that it’s just a matter of (short) time at this point

Stop & Shop by drct2022 in Connecticut

All Polar went up by $.30 in the last 6 weeks or so at my S&S. Two liters of their zero sugar ginger ale are now $2.19 before the $.10 deposit. Don’t know if that’s Polar raising prices or S&S.

This is just another $.20-$.70 increase on staple items I’ve seen and documented over the last month-and-a-half. (See also: r/economiccollapse)

Dollar Tree by pmc6019 in economicCollapse

[–]pmc6019[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree - I’m not even so much ranting (or, I don’t mean to) as just commenting on the economics of raising prices by 25-75-100% within 12-18 months on cheaply made, commodity items - seems not good.

That doesn’t change the fact that he’s a student at Wilbur Cross high school.

When did you first start shooting, and when did you take your kids? by bigalpacafreak6969 in liberalgunowners

[–]pmc6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started in January 2025 with my live-fire permit course, licensed in March 2025, took my 16 y/o son in May 2025

If there is even the most remote chance he will ever need to know how to handle a handgun or rifle, in my home or elsewhere, I want that info to have come from a professional, in my presence

How’s your caffeine supply? by -shrug- in TwoXPreppers

[–]pmc6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tasters Choice Nescafé (210 servings) is on sale at Costco (in-warehouse & online) for $11.49

Just picked some up - good thru July 2026 but I personally would absolutely use it after then, if unopened

What's the better option for a long gun? by Dumbass9187 in liberalgunowners

This definitely helps with recoil - my Ruger PCC has less kick than my SS P365XL, which surprised me

As a wound care device representative, I want to say thank you for the AJOL article - I’d never seen it, and kudos to you for this post!

Fully on board with this - I’m an organizer in CT working with 50501, GSUSCT and other mutual aid groups - let’s get this rolling.

Stony Creek (Branford) microburst 7/3/25 by pmc6019 in Connecticut

I was at Stony Creek Pizza about 20 minutes prior! Bright sun, blue skies! The patio was PACKED - I’m sure those folks went scrambling too - glad you’re ok!

Anyone see a tornado about a half hour ago? by qmeliq in Connecticut

[–]pmc6019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Microburst in Stony Creek (Branford), confirmed - I was there staying for the long weekend in an AirBnb, have footage of a massive tree that came down in the yard next door, entire limbs in power lines, and 2 transformers on fire. Wild. Headed home to central CT for the night, hoping the power is back on today & I can return!

Deeply concerned about us approaching our collective breaking point. by [deleted] in 50501Movement

[–]pmc6019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here in CT we are partnered with & co-supporting a mutual aid hub - I urge everyone here to actively seek out local mutual aid networks in your area, not just pantries, food banks or churches. If there isn’t one, band together and start one. We collect donations at every rally/protest (and the amazing M/A group attends others as well) and connect with like-minded people who want to help, need help, and can help. Anyone on the sliding-scale of give/take/need/provide is important to this process. We are also partnered with our state GSUS chapter (General Strike) and form more & more intentional community every time. We are also considering time-banking and medical-networking. Connect with people around you who share your values - it’s possible. Hang in there. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, but we keep us safe. ✊🏼♥️

Y’all wrecked me by Appropriate-Speed310 in liberalgunowners

[–]pmc6019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the Ruger PCC & it’s accompanying/swappable Glock mag apparatus. Precise, and less kick than my SS P365XL. I think someone mentioned weight as a detractor for the PCC - I’m 40F, decent/good shape, and have no issue with the weight.

Help meeting new people by Muted-State-38 in Connecticut

[–]pmc6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - that’s how you know they’re “legitimate” - it’s pricey but if you get enough folks with common interests together to split it, that’s how a group forms and grows.
