Great idea for a thread!
I always stress that guns are tools and, like any tool, you need the right tool for the job.
For example:
If this is the job:
This is the wrong screwdriver:
You need the right tool for the job. So when it comes to guns, what do you want to do?
Hunt? What sort of game? Pests? Small game? Large game? Birds? Are you hunting for food or pest elimination?
Home defense?
Concealed carry?
These are all vastly different categories and have different positives and negatives.
If Woodsy Owl and Smokey Bear teamed up, they would be unstoppable.
There was a quickplay where someone figured out how to beat the game in something crazy like 10 or 12 minutes.
What the column has you do is disable Gemini access in Mail, but it is still on for search.
I did all that ages ago and re-confirmed, it’s still all disabled…
But Gemini persists:
Throwing sod in a back yard. I’ll never do that again.
Who doesn’t enjoy wood furniture? 😉
I specifically wanted a brass scope and it was either that or something that wasn’t really functional. 😞
I mean, .44 mag is .44 mag, but it also weighs almost 6 pounds.
I’m not PERSONALLY a fan of FDE, but the contrast looks good and the build looks solid!
I’m a wood and brass kind of guy. 😉
.45-70 Government
.44 Magnum
Only her hairdresser knows for sure!
I had to call THREE hospitals to get a CT scan in a reasonable amount of time. First one said “April” and I was like “No.”
2nd one said 2/18 which is better, but still 29 days out and I don’t want to sit and ruminate on the diagnosis that long.
3rd one? 1 week. 1/27! I think that’s about as good as I can get.
After book 4 I’d read, at a minimum, Insomnia and Hearts in Atlantis. Insomnia came out in the (FIVE YEAR!) gap between 3 and 4. Hearts in Atlantis shortly after 4.
But the Stand is never a bad choice!
Fair warning, I didn’t think books 5-7 were as good as the first four. He stops doing the flashbacks to young Roland and there are gaps in that story now.
The Pedant in the Kitchen by Julian Barnes.
I heard his last book (or what he claims is his last book) “Departure(s)” is out today and looked up what other stuff he’s done, this one caught my eye being a very snarky collection of essays about cooking and cookbook authors.
Oh boy, you are in for a RIDE. How far into it are you?
Beyond the 8 books of the Dark Tower proper, there are a BUNCH of books that touch that part of the King Universe. Eyes of the Dragon, It, Insomnia, Desperation and the Regulators, Rose Madder, Hearts in Atlantis, The Talisman (indirectly), Black House (Talisman sequel, directly connects it together), The Stand, The Shining, Salem’s Lot. Fairy Tale is similar enough, but not directly related.
There’s a 3rd Talisman book coming this year as well.
“Left on read” - She gets his messages but does not read them. His icon on Discord probably has a [328] next to it.
Listen to this song with the transcript open:
Do you think Greenland would accept America’s for profit healthcare system? 😉
I have 2 shotguns, a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge, and a Henry .410.
A lot of people will tell you a .410 isn’t as useful, but it all depends on what you load it with. 😉
For example, I’m set up with these:
Each trigger pull sends a slug and 2 ball bearings. So a gun that holds 5+1 rounds actually has 18 projectiles in it.
OTOH - The Shockwave goes “CLICK-CLACK!” and the sound alone could make an intruder shit themselves. Super satisfying on your end, super scary on the other end.
