Never. If it’s 9mm, it’s .357 magnum for me! I think semi automatic weapons are for police and military, not self defense.

Some fine day I will buy a turbocharged 993 model Porsche 911 convertible. I will drive canyon roads with some 1990’s music. I will likely be dying of cancer, but enjoy the circumstance all the same. I will feel deserving or entitled to none of this, but will feel grateful that I had the opportunity.

The shrinkage always got me in the early years. Awesome to see the build!

Me too. Plinking with ancillary benefits. 😏

That sounds reasonable to me. The FBI tried to switch to 10mm, but the agents couldn’t shoot it accurately. That doesn’t make it a less effective round, training and suitable hardware is the key. For most defensive situations revolver capacity and power are preferable IMO. 🤘🏻

Those shells aren’t 9mm. Maybe .45 ACP?

I’m glad to hear this, it seems as though I was spared prolonged suffering by a nuclear family implosion early in life. I’ve often thought only if and been riddled with guilt, now, fingers crossed, we’re building the framework for healthy extended family relations out of the ashes. My folks, dead, wouldn’t agree, but their sentiment blew my family to pieces long ago so to hell with them. We’re doing great! It sounds like it happened for you eventually, that’s worth celebrating no matter when it occurs. Curate your family! 💜

Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.

Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.

Amazing! I really enjoyed reading this.

Blackrock uses its enormous holding to leverage the global market, it certainly looks like it plans to use banks as tools to leverage Bitcoin.

BlackRock has revised its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) application to make it easier for Wall Street banks to participate by creating new shares in the fund with cash rather than just crypto. The new in-kind redemption “prepay” model will allow banking giants such as JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs to act as authorized participants for the fund, letting them circumvent restrictions that prevent them from holding Bitcoin or crypto directly on their balance sheets.

Larry Fink and Blackrock are probably as large comparatively to any of the dynastic families from the Industrial Revolution. #Bitcoin

Well I can say this, Apple Jack is dangerous and this is why….methanol is always a fractional presence in all fermented beverages. The antidote for methanol poisoning is roughly, ethanol consumption. With beer and wine, the methanol percentages are low enough relative to water and ethanol to not be a concern, but when you concentrate by removing frozen water it’s a recipe for trouble, at least a headache and maybe blindness and death in large amounts. When distilling it’s imperative to heat above the evaporation temp for methanol, about 150F, maintain for ten minutes, then attach your distilling rig and increase the temperature above the BP for ethanol, roughly 180F. I use lab glass to distill, I’d be happy to offer advice and the small cadre of accumulated wisdom I have from making mistakes. 😁
