That’s the plan, basically. 1000 of 5.56, another 1000 of 9mm, but an absolutely stupid amount of .22LR for the Glock 44.

Shit’s cheap, and fun to shoot, so I might as well just buy a truckfull of it.

Finally found time to take the AR-15 to the range and work with the instructor I’ve been using for the handguns.

Aaaaand while handguns are nice and all, this thing is the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time.

Of course I now have to scramble and decide how much ammo to buy before tariffs screw that up making this super costly (most of the cheap but not shit ammo is from SK, BR, and CZ, and even US-based stuff is made with materials from not-here).

But on the bright side, I finally got myself properly medicated, and holy shit is that fucking amazing. I’ve known I’ve had ADHD my whole life, but due the lovely bonus of also being bipolar and having a really really awful reaction to any sort of stimulant (even something mild like caffiene) it’s always just kinda not been treated and ignored.

Yeah well, current pdoc wrote a script for guanfacine and it’s like my whole brain suddenly just decided to make sense and behave itself. Stopped shit like leg twitches, and biting my nails, and running through crowds dodging people instead of walking a normal pace.

Also started finishing projects, being able to go to the store without a list and not forgetting a bunch of stuff, and generally just being a normal person.

…so I can get all the Pussy in Bio in one place now?

I have an endless amount of respect for ANYONE that’s willing to swallow their pride and do shit like this when it’s in the interests of other people, their country, or whatever.

Takes an actual good human to go ‘fuck it, this guy is a complete piece of shit but I’m going to make nice because it’s what I need to do for others’.

Can’t imagine Musk or Trump or JD doing that, ever.

“I don’t like cold war relics!” declares man currently sucking on Vladimir Putin’s dick.

It’s an internet liberal problem. They’ll go along with the groupthink, but not a one of them will be willing to lead the group because being wrong is punished more harshly than just doing nothing is.

So, you get endless debates about the rightness of doing something, vs people just doing it.

The WaPo was establishment propaganda even before JeffyB bought them, so really all that’s happening now is that he’s saying the quiet part out loud.

The implication seems like, “we all talk to each other and if you lie to me you lose all of your accounts”.

Well uh, yes, in some cases, that’s exactly the correct interpretation.

A lot of tracker admins DO talk to each other, because this is a fairly small world, and yeah, nobody wants a shithead around so they’ll definitely let other people know who their shitheads are so they can be handled before they become a problem.

Nothing inherently wrong with that, imo.

Ah HP printer drivers, my favorite form of self-inflicted malware.

My favorite HP sucks story happened many a year ago. The boss’s shitty HP multi-function POS died, and we got him a nice Brother instead, and then went to uninstall the drivers.

Somehow, and the reason for this is totally unknown to anyone other than HP engineers, the driver ‘uninstaller’ decided that today’s hilarity would be that it was going to uninstall… everything.

After about 15 minutes of the drive churning away I got concerned, rebooted it, and found that nearly 75% of everything on it had been deleted by the uninstaller.

No fucking idea, but that was a fun thing to explain and then fix.

There is no bubble says man floating in midair encased in a bubble.

I’m curious: how are they ending up in Canada?

The article clearly kinda half-speculates that it’s because anyone can walk to a store and buy a gun if they pass the NICS check, which is effectively true, but then… US citizens are smuggling them? Canadian citizens are taking possession as it was a straw purchase? They’re growing wings and migrating north?

nothing of value will be lost

I’d argue the opposite: there’s actually a lot of stuff out there that’s actually interesting: old-school lets-players who’d have done actual informative playthroughs of games. It’s kind of a dying art, but it’s also exactly the kind of content that’s going to get purged by this kind of action.

It’s interesting to spend, say, 10 hours watching some guy play Sierra games and actually talk through shit about the game and whatnot, and it’d be a shame to have that vanish.

But not entirely unexpected since that’s not profitable content in the way that the current morons babbling about bullshit reaction videos, totally-not-camgirls totally not showing their tits, and whatever other brainrot nonsense most of twitch is. (Also alt-right propaganda, but eh.)

Mismatch is trying to kill her brothers, who are tolerating it much like any brother anywhere tolerates their little sister being a pain.

Uh, question: how could a sensor on a wind turbine track submarines?

I’m not entirely sure but aren’t wind turbines generally up in the air, and submarines deep under water?

It’s a slightly more performant GPU with a worse CPU than a Z1. (Zen3 vs Zen4, 680M vs 740M)

But we’re talking very slightly better GPU performance, so calling it essentially equivalent for gaming is probably perfectly reasonable.

Except, of course, you can find the Z1 Ally for $250 at BestBuy damn near any day of the week, soooooo uh, yeah that pricing huh.

No joke.

I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t really play anything anymore because of it.

You go ‘boy I’d like to see what new games are coming soon’ and you immediately land in a cesspool of people throwing a fit that there’s a black guy, or a trans girl, or a white chick that doesn’t make their little peepee hard, as well as any other awful sexist, racist, ableist swill you can possibly imagine all over every inch of anything that remotely looks like gaming media or discussion forums.

I just kind of have quit looking, and just playing old games for the 2nd or 3rd time, despite the fact I would happily have bought anything that seems remotely fun a couple of years ago because I don’t want to subject myself to those morons, end up playing games with them, or like, having anyone confuse me as being one of them as you said.

No no, you don’t understand!

He’s one of the good billionaires!

(/s for some of you, and for others perhaps you should reconsider why you feel the need to defend a billionaire, regardless of your opinion on video game platforms)

Now now, they’re not just inconsiderate assholes and leeches.

They’re inconsiderate nazi oligarch assholes and leeches.

But I was assured it would be the equivalent of a 4090! Surely someone with an ugly jacket wouldn’t lie about their products?

(/s, etc.)
