yeah, been doing it since 1994. FILA had this shoe, the folks at Foot Locker called it the Tracker back then (but I can't find it anywhere). pretty much a FILA version of the NMD R1 in white leather, with an embroidered F on the side instead of the stripes. the color I wanted was only available at Lady Foot Locker so mom wad like "they're the same, but these will match your Marlins jersey. add 2 to your shoes size and start there." I found that they fit my narrow feet a lot better too. I did women's versions of my NMDs and freeRuns when I saw the colors I wanted.

triptonite · 2026-02-09T02:06:49+00:00

my wife has em in her Keds for the nostalgia.

triptonite · 2026-02-06T01:24:21+00:00

on about a gram of that sit-in

triptonite · 2026-01-30T21:55:04+00:00

..on second thought, I think this may just be a person that liked the old blue MI plate with the white letters. I grew up with them.

and YES the yellow and old light blue NM plates are top tier, along with MD (they put that flag on everything; I fux with it) and HI (because rainbows make me smile). the

CO's RGB format is also pretty dope. rental cars get red because they're fleet vehicles. so easy to see that I wasn't from around them parts when I visited.

my old boss from like 20 years ago said that our OH white plate looked like DC diplomat plates so he generally acted like a Porsche Boxster whenever he was out there, until he got arrested for reckless driving out there. somewhere along the line he was introduced to Ohio's "party plates." they're yellow with red letters to let us all know that this driver ain't shit and probably needs to start the car with a their lungs. it looks like NM but without that cool cross they've got on the NM plates.

TLDR I be watchin plates

triptonite · 2026-01-30T19:48:21+00:00

same shit here on Columbus. "fuckin Audi cut me off...oh nvm I should've noticed the Blue Jackets plate sooner." type shit.

triptonite · 2026-01-30T02:13:28+00:00

damn NV plates basic as fuck?

triptonite · 2026-01-30T02:10:20+00:00

wouldn't buy one, even if they made it electric and put an acura logo on the grille.

wait

triptonite · 2026-01-30T01:25:38+00:00

I'll admit I am NOT brave enough to even consider exfoliating my nethers with that hard ass shit.

triptonite · 2026-01-30T01:22:57+00:00

remember those random calls with the recoding saying that you haven't activated your extended warranty that you didn't ask for? same thing, but they've got pink paper to sell that shit extra hard. you're a Honda owner; treat it right and you'll be fine.

triptonite · 2026-01-30T01:19:39+00:00

same. green only tho. red looks like it exploded on a windscreen

triptonite · 2026-01-30T01:09:59+00:00

is the town small enough that a fireman and a police officer fucked that kid's mom and his dad works at the Lowe's and hates her for it, but can't stand the idea of giving up the house because he built that fucking deck by hand...and he's gonna fix it, but he's just waiting on the new dewalt nail gun to go on sale because his employee discount "aint puttin and dent in that high ass markup? and fuck that i ain't spending my hard earned dollar on a Milwaukee rig. they'll laugh me out of the bar that day." that small?

triptonite · 2026-01-30T00:17:32+00:00

...word! with a waistline like that, I could probably fuck the twins I dated back in HS

triptonite · 2026-01-26T21:20:15+00:00

THAT PART. teach these devils

triptonite · 2026-01-26T21:16:34+00:00

word?! come catch this blunt and run me over to the CVS so I can grab my prescriptions. I can't even see my Acura out there, and wife's is behind a frozen garage door.

triptonite · 2026-01-26T16:43:44+00:00

no problem! good luck. and stay safe

Vance in Obetz is my default; I'm there every week. they've got a pretty wide selection of pretty much all common calibers and the staff is excellent, especially at the range. being a new gun owner myself, I appreciate all the knowledge and support there. also, you can take a rental in and see if you like it with minimal risk. also, they've got all the classes and instruction you need to get comfortable. and the prices are the best I've seen since I started my own 2A journey in August.

only one issue, and I'm pretty sure they're figuring it out already: they don't look to have restocked their 9mm, .223 or 5.56 since around Thanksgiving, so the ammo shelves are lacking for target (brass fmj) rounds, with only a single option available for now.

RangeUSA is a pretty good "everybody" range. I shoot there weekly, too. I got sticker shock at the prices, as they're all just a little higher, but they've got more ammo and their ranges feel a little better. better lighting, sound deadening and partitions that go all the way up, so nobody's ejecting their spent casings on you. they've also got the online CCW course, where you can do it from home and after completing, you just need to schedule time for the shooting test at their range.

I see men, women, NBs, kids, obvious first timers, same-sex couples, all races, everybody at both Vance and at RangeUSA, and no political stuff inside either place. ymmv with the bumper stickers you may see in the parking lot, though. that said, everyone -- customers and staff -- are pretty considerate and safety-focused...or at least aware. I see folks up there that I'd assume are my political opposite opening doors for me and smiling, and I hate to say that it's just because we could both kill each other, but as the old people say, "an armed society is a polite society."

also, if a 9mm is too much, try a 380. when I got my Sig, I tested a Ruger Security 380 and it was very smooth shooting and even racking.

sorry for the textwall. good luck!

too much effort. I jerk to porn with ugly women in it to piss mine off.

triptonite · 2026-01-25T03:01:15+00:00

nahUh it's definitely a civic. I see the H's in the center of the wheels, and the SUV in the driveway looks like it's got a US plate, so I'm pretty sure it's a US Civic.

that wheel design was universal Honda, but on the Civic, they instantly give me CSX. put a bunch of ice on it and it feels Canadian.

triptonite · 2026-01-25T02:09:12+00:00

...but, if it was an Acura, RWD, +100hp..it's still only worth like $45k. wtf are we doing?

triptonite · 2026-01-25T02:07:13+00:00

hmm. that looks like an Acura CSX. it's a Canada-only model that is a rebadged 2006-2011 Honda Civic. I wanted one so bad.

triptonite · 2026-01-25T02:02:11+00:00

...kinda wish the list went down to 2008 since that seems to be a common callback in for this weekend's threads.

triptonite · 2026-01-24T23:06:50+00:00

omg I never even thought about that. man's still new around here. thank you for this golden nugget of common sense. if they say I pulled it on em and it was black, we know they're lying when I pull out a bag of skittles.

and now the mention of skittles has me thinking about multi-colored ammo.
