Lindsey Graham warns ‘accountability coming to Biden’ if Trump wins
  • So the state of New York went after Trump and scored 34 convictions? And this is somehow a federal/Presidential matter? Biden couldn't interfere if he wanted to. States rights anyone?

    Y'all libs need to get strapped and stand by. They're ramping up to running trains. Think it can't happen here?

  • Series: What are your tried-and-proven tricks for relaxing/relieving anxiety
  • Walk. Just get up off your ass and walk. It's easy and accessible to nearly everyone. Walk. Move your ass through time and space.

    March like an automaton if you have to, just walk. You can refine techniques later. Just walk. MOVE. Our minds and brains are not wired to sit on a couch.

    Funny how many people say this is how they started to manage their mental health.

  • Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old holding a pellet gun, authorities say
  • Right with ya, until...

    if it were harder for the general public to get guns

    Is there anywhere harder to get a gun? Even pellet guns are illegal in NYC. You can be legal in one state, passing through to another state where you're legal, and NY can take your ass to jail for a gun in the trunk.

    So. More laws might help?

  • Great.
  • I'd love fact checking, but I can't see that working in real-time. Maybe with a backstage team running a banner across the screen?

    In any case, all I wanted was the moderators to force them to stay on topic. No, once your rebuttal is up, shut up and answer the current question. Can't stay on topic? Muted.

    Looking to buy, but I'm clueless.

    I'm wanting something to run around the hood and offroad, mostly in deep sand. An electric version of this: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/coleman-mini-bike-bt200x-g

    What else do I need to be concerned about?

    How do I find owls arounds here? I hear Barred Owls all the time, never seen one.

    Got a couple of acres in a NW Florida swamp. Been hearing Barred Owls for years.

    How do I spot one? And tricks other than sitting still and being quiet? They seem to come pretty close. Can I "bait" them somehow with a box or something they would like to visit?

    Funny story: First night I camped, three were doing their call/response thing. Every time they called, closer, and closer. Freaky sounding, one of the calls sounds almost like a child crying out.

    For some reason, my idiot self thought coyotes were closing in. (Yes, I know well what coyotes sound like.)

    Got a little freaked, grabbed my .410 (tiny shotgun) and decided to take the fight to them, scare 'em off (didn't want them rooting around my site). Again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, promptly got lost.

    Got home, "Hey Google! What do coyotes sound like?" Oh FFS. I am not a clever man.

    Saw a Pileated Woodpecker the other day though! Super cool and way bigger than I thought.

    Tips on carrying a 1911 for a small guy?

    Probably just not feasible, but I have many pistols and the 1911 is what I'm best at. I carry an LCP MAX and some other .380s, but I'm not so hot with those. Also have a slightly larger Ruger 9MM that works great. Just about can't miss with the Colt Government Model.

    I suppose the answer is to practice, practice, practice with the smaller guns?

    Saw this on the table. Been waiting all year for the prism to start working well!

    So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?

    It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power.

    I was a toddler when he was carpet bombing Cambodia, never knew him as anything but "an important person" that was sometimes on the TV. Only learned of his crimes in the past decade.

    How did an in-your-face war criminal retain such influence for so long?

    I'm an old (GenX), straight, white, American guy, but I'm right with you all.

    I might say things that are offensive, because I can't pretend to be in your shoes and might get something wrong. I'm often just trying to understand. Hell, I didn't figure out that gay rights are civil rights, my rights, our rights, until 10+ years ago.

    It's 100% OK if you want to keep this a non-cis space. I get that and won't be butthurt.

    (If shotguns are your jam, I got many more to post! Weirdly, of all the antique and vintage shotguns I have, this cheap-ass Turkish thing runs like a dream.)

    I've got two sewing machines. Where do I even begin to learn?

    Nothing fancy, neither is terribly new or old. Not being able to sew is really holding me back on DIY projects.

    Is there an "Operating a Sewing Machine for Dummies" video or tutorial you like?
