There is a piston assembly that allows it to cycle without pulling the can along with it.

Dead Air Wolfman, it’s sized for subgun use so it’s pretty big and heavy for a handgun, but I’m also too stubborn to remove the extension piece. In hindsight I might have gone with something rated for standard rifle rounds. I guess I can always get a flash can for that.

The company itself I wouldn’t go with again. They shipped the silencer with some shitty political stuff.

I have a large ice chest and a heavily restricted diet due to medical issues and my food banks won’t give me fresh produce unless I show proof of residency (they want you to have a refrigerator). The little daily snack pack with oreos and soda they give you otherwise isn’t worth the trip.

I’ve had plenty of encounters with border patrol and typical blues and border patrol is exponentially less professional and more coercive on average.

Coincidentally, a lot of places I’ll never contribute to economically.

Believed likely GSD/Belgian Mali. He’s the best boy.

Context is irrelevant in my opinion, in the same way that hunger and survival are irrelevant to a dog expressing its prey drive on a plush toy. I also believe we have more agency now than ever; we live in a time when food is abundant, and taking a day or two off might leave you with a smaller paycheck rather than at risk of starving to death. When a job needed to be done thousands of years ago, it was often imperative to the survival of yourself or your community, and not necessarily a matter of choice. Those communities likely also had harsh means of enforcing labor contribution of the able-bodied, consequences exceeding the typical outcome of homelessness that we’re familiar with today, which contributed to this evolution. Those who found work itself to be rewarding were much more likely to survive and reproduce, as opposed to those who only found reward in the outcome of work (food, now money).

Browser amnesia. I would have to login every time.

I tried a hand pump while camping and never used it again. The tannins in the water (decayed plant matter secretion) isn’t captured by the filter and hit me pretty hard.

I think it’s natural to want to want to work and be active. It is a behavior that has been reinforced by evolution since we were hunter/gatherers. But, there are certain tasks that have definitely frustrated me.

I must be getting old.

I’m sure a lot of military software, in contrast, is acquired from private companies that retain IP rights. Likely legal exceptions aside.

We are starting a homestead and getting away from all the fuss.

You are correct about how our skin has these natural defenses that are much more sophisticated than most people are aware of, but semi-regular hygiene is still important to clear off the debris left behind by this ecosystem, as has been known for some thousands of years. Once every couple days to a week is ideal for most people depending on factors such as humidity and personal biology.

Exposure to “everyday contagions” can greatly strengthen the immune system without making us sick as well, but not always, and the behavior of primates and young children eating their little green nose warriors is actually believed to have evolved for this benefit. Exposure has become more of an issue as civilization has grown in size though, and contagious diseases are being spread simultaneously from multiple points in the global population with more opportunities to find their way into that circle.

If you have a lifestyle that involves regular contact with other people, you may want to be washing your hands frequently.

They should hold onto the lottery ticket and borrow against its value.

Sorry, what?

You don’t. I head back to Reddit personals for that.

Microblog… I just don’t care about other people that much. Specific topics are more engaging and interesting.

In no sane world would a civilian get off claiming self-defense for doing the same thing. AG is a depraved licker of boots and has given the green light for law enforcement to commit acts of violence like this against civilians in the future.

Politicians and corporations will be able to pay and use these bots to influence users on policy and politics like they would with advertisements. They’re cutting out the shadowy troll farm and PR firm middlemen.
