i have a 3400w dual fuel one for the house and a 500w battery back up in my truck.

theres an estimated 100-120million gun owners in the US. in the last year the FBI recorded nearly 10 million new gun owners, that is 10million people who did their very first background check to buy a gun (and this can include multiple gun sales). that does NOT include those who bought via private sales or built their own from 80% kits or from scratch. there is an estimate of 400-500million firearms in circulation in the US, half of the entire worlds small arms combined.

in this last year you had literally everyone buying guns from all political, racial and class leanings. literally everyone is strapped. the genie is out, pandoras box is open and dogs and cats are living together.

gun control is a moot point and one that can be helped via other means that would make everyones lives easier rather than further pecking away at their constitutional rights.

i own 4 of them. great guns and really fun to shoot. not exactly practical by todays standards, but if its all you got i woudlnt feel under gunned.

I wonder how long it'll take for the right to go nuclear over this.

Worst youre going to get from people is old timers who arnt in the game anymore who are nostalgic. almost no one is hating this decision specifically because Colts QA has went to shit over the last decade and a half and they have refused to change or innovate instead trying to sail by on their name alone with over priced firearms. not to say they still cant make good stuff, but nowadays you can get the exact same thing for 30% less only it doesnt have Colt on the side.

While a part of me is kinda sad that its a not an american maker, CZ in general makes really quality stuff and always has for decades and their 1911 line of pistols (made by also acquired Dan Wesson) are some of the best you can get and could be a match made in heaven.

100% this guy and his guards are gonna get killed in the street. $24mil is a lot of money to be carrying arroun, hell, they could easily get a third of that probably same day at some unscrupulous diamond seller

and itll probably be one of his guards that does it.

there was more training back then and guns wernt treated like they are now. my grandpa used to tell me stories of him and his friends taking their .22's into the woods camping when they were 11 by them selves. most people in rural areas had rifles and shotguns on their gun racks in their trucks and yes gun safety was actually taught at school including having skeet/marksman clubs. along with parents showing there kids firearms at an early age and eliminating doubt and curiosity cutting down on accidents. and yet despite all that issues were relatively minor since guns were wernt treated as either toys or elements that must be hidden allowing that curiosity to get the better of them.

i my self had a bb gun at 7 and a real one at 9.

because its pretty self explanatory why invading the US is impossible...

a traditional invasion would be impossible, but its citizens are just as susceptible to infiltration via propaganda as anywhere else. rotting the system from the inside is how youd beat the US.

nothing, like i did with the last one. gave the first one to my grandparants though.

The lady was talking shit even with a gun in her face

she was talking shit AFTER she got fucking shot too. even when he first fired her imediate reaction was to pull out her phone, not to run for the hills.

I just saw it on r/PublicFreakout. Crazy fucker is shooting at them and they stay there arguing until they get shot.

the fucker doin the shooting is obviously way more down the line on the crazy scale, but it takes a certain lack of marbles to continue to stand there and verbally berate someone holding a gun at you, continue to berate them after they fired at you and then CONTINUE to do so after they actually shot you.

iv never dealt with it personally, but iv seen others who have and all of them amounted to being handed over to a collector and being hounded on the phone for several years before stopping. or you end up paying $5 for life just to shut them up.

their both worth playing tho overall id say it comes down to what you really value more in an rpg. the combat or everything else. both games have fun and fast combat, but DD takes it up to 11 with more classes, more abilities, more customization in terms of party design (if you want to roll with that) and more interesting enemies to fight and its replay-ability is built on those aspects (so NG+ would mean new enemies and bosses while being able to further level character classes). KoA's combat is also fast and fun, but its extremely easy to over level (i dont know if the new version fixed this) making over half the game a cakewake on any difficulty. with that how you actually approach combat doesnt really change much which makes it more repetitive.

as far as everything else for either of them is kinda meh tho KoA has more stuff to do in general.

its one of those "just one more" type games if you are into what its selling. its easy to sit down and feel like youve done something for 10-15minutes or you can be shocked that youve played it for 10 hours in one go.

A musket is not unless you are making it into a pipebomb

not by modern times, but most firearms made through-out history usually started out as military contracts/inventions or some variant of them. stuff like 1911's and bolt action rifles can technically still be considered "military" weapons since they are still used in military service despite their design being over 100 years old.

very nice. enjoy!. the last bolt gun i bought was a ruger alaskan in 300winmag. awesome gun and crazy enough that ammo is less pricey now than .308.

i have a sister?

This bugs me more than anything. Battlefield gets it much better than games like Call of Duty

Insurgency had an amazing shotgun. could still hit stuff 75-100m away with buckshot (tho might have taken several shots to kill someone).

its not even a bad game, just kind of a mess in terms of assembly.

id buy'em

hug her and throw it in the pile.

if they get a good bite in you it can cause serious infection almost all of the time (due to certain germs in their teeth...or something like that).

nothing. just like i did with the $600.

worked since i was 14 (34 now) and i have no credit record. never had a credit card and iv paid outright for nearly everything iv owned including my degree.

if youre in it for the combat then expect good times. if youre in it for the other aspects then expect varying degrees of mediocre to decent.

get a few essential mods like autoloot and auto apply monster oils. no weight limit as well if you want to. all 3 of those things in this game specifically quickly become an extreme annoyance, ones i dont think youll want to content with for 100+ hours. a few other quality of life ones like increased monster loot, all quest objectives on map and always full xp can really help the over all experience as well. maybe the fast travel one too, but in general theres enough travel points to where i didnt find that one too annoying.

RE2>DD>ACO

and i havnt played Cuphead.

if you want the story, then all of them but Blacklist. if you want the gameplay then Chaos Theory for pure stealth, Blacklist for more freeform "modern" gameplay. both do what they are trying to do very well.

good place to be if you wanted to just fuck off from everything.

XCOM 1 and MGS5 will give you literally hundreds of hours of gameplay. the mods for xcom also turn it into an almost completely new game increasing the hours even more. you can also mod mgs5 on pc to take care of some of its more annoying aspects which really helps its progression.

if you want more quality per hour then south park is a really fun time for the 12 or so hours it lasts. not much replay value there, but its one of the more consistently entertaining games iv ever played.

Iv used instacart for about 6 months now during this shitty period and i cant say anything really negative about them. have to order a decent amount to waive the fee and their website/app doesnt cover everything in the stores, but outside of that i cant really complain. theyve always gotten what i ordered, the poeple iv dealt with are fairly nice and communicative and seem to be flexible with order times. price mark ups are also reasonable.

i tried using shipt for a month, but was less than satisfied. 4 deliveries, 2 of them dropped off at the wrong address and one other the driver started to have an attitude when they couldnt find my house at first. and theyre more expensive per month. i like their website and selection options more though.

when i first started driving in michigan mine was over $400/mo. non-michiganders are spoiled.

ehhh maybe. its an alright game, but it IS extremely short (4-5hours), they make it more linear and kinda piss on nemesis' design compared to the original. there maybe another run through worth of extras but thats about it. if youve played and enjoyed the original and/or Remake 2 id keep expectations in check.

honestly i miss that level of snowfall. where im at now weve probably gotten 12 inches total across the last 3 years. used to get tons of feet.

1200 in checking
~9k in savings
20k in emergency fund
~5k in physical metals (and maybe ~60-70k in other physical "investment" assets)
~600k in various retirement accounts
~260k in stocks and bonds

Im 34. started saving when i was 14. feeling OK.

3 shouldnt be anywhere near 2 or NV.

Metal Gear has always been its own unique thing so wouldnt expect anywhere near that level of storytelling nor the quirky stuff you tend to find in those games. the only real comparison is a few open gameplay designs and some mechanics here and there.

that said DX1's story is quite good as is HR to a less degree. MD's side storys are great, but the game ended up being rushed and its main story suffers because of that. IW..we dont talk about.

the series in general excels at player choice in how it approaches level designs and choices you make based on your character build. even by todays standards the original still pisses on a lot of games out now in those regards and HR and MD do an admirable job in keeping up.

fuck that santa
and fuck the nra

just give the kid a nerf gun.

seasons 1 and 2 are really good. 3 is ok. 4 has some really good moments, but overall is mediocre. you can take or leave 5. stay away from the rest.

all witcher games were pretty buggy on release.

yay, time for a mall santa to poison the minds of the youth.

yes, but sure as hell not the popular stuff.

its pretty damn mediocre. im also still amazed at how many jokes it threw out in its run time that fell flat. like 4/100 were pretty funny and almost all of those were involving hemsworth.

i dont really like my landlord as a person, but at the same time they fix was needs to be fixed and leave me alone so i cant complain too much. tho im sure it helps that i keep things quiet and have never missed a payment.

cause she is :)

not oppossed to taking it, but it sure as hell wont be the first iterations of it.

2 by a wide margin

lol. try living in michigan.

two. a cheap ass $10 casio i wear regularly and a nice citizen i have stashed away for end times.

or i should say 5. two that are mine and 3 that dont work any more than my grandfather passed down to me.
