I have no interest in harming anyone, ever. But I certainly won’t allow myself to be harmed. So whatever, stomp me with downvotes. I’m as ACAB as the next lefty, but when you grow up in a violent place you recognize certain realities that other people might not.

Certain stupid activities have immediately fatal consequences, that’s life bro. The gun was a replica of a Glock 17, made specifically to look like the genuine article. If someone pointed one at me they’d be well on their way to room temp, and I likely wouldn’t even be charged, because yeah, I would have had every reason to assume I was in imminent danger.

Teach your kids to not be this stupid. A 13 year old in the city shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pellet gun, or any other weapon.

Yeah, but see, if he posts to gaming communities everyone is going to call him out for making a blatant clone of The Long Dark.

Dated a lovely black woman back in my late 20s, she took me to meet her family like a month in, they were all super sweet. Dinner was fried chicken, hominy, mustard and collard greens, slaw and Mac n cheese, her grandmas fried chicken made me forget I ever cared about my grandmas fried chicken. Who the fuck doesn’t love fried chicken? Okay sure, vegans, but other than that?

And seriously I get the whole stereotype being a deep seated bunch of white people fuckery, but like, fuck that, let’s eat.

See my comment above. 450 bushmaster and 350 legend are both cartridges developed the for AR platform that are lower range, lower velocity, larger bore projectiles meant to limit effective range and still have deer stopping energy.

.223 / 5.56 is illegal to deer hunt with in Michigan because it isn’t a reliable caliber for a kill, and is more likely to wound. Your .308 or .30-06 flies way, way farther in the event of a miss, creating a concern of striking unintended targets far past your line of sight. Which is why it’s illegal to hunt with below the lower peninsula rifle line.

It was never illegal to hunt with an AR. Hunting restrictions are based on caliber (5.56x45mm being too small kill a deer reliably) and magazine capacity.

Modern Michigan compliant hunting rifles based on the AR platform have low capacity magazines and utilize straight walled case and larger caliber, higher weight and lower velocity projectiles like .350 legend and .450 bushmaster, resulting in a round that effectively knocks down a deer while having a much shorter effective range (less likely to shoot far beyond its intended target in the event of a miss)

So yeah, a modern AR using a purpose specific medium game cartridge is in fact safer than a bolt action rifle with a faster longer distance round.

Source: lefty gun owner that wants some reasonable and effective gun control measures and is tired of people who know fuck nothing about firearms having uneducated opinions.

I would say that FOSS typically draws a more educated crowd, and right wing rhetoric and propaganda typically target those of lesser education and lower cognitive ability, simply because those people are the most likely hosts for rightoid brain worms. Why do colleges skew heavily left, gee it must be brainwashing /s

The news media manufactures outrage for both ends of the political spectrum. They’ll lead liberals to believe a child dying of disease was curb stomped by 15 year old neo nazis, and they’ll the lead the right to believe kids are going to school in fur suits and shitting in litter boxes.

They just want clicks. Who cares what it does to our country.

Find a dental school in your area. They often offer extremely low rates for simple things like a filling or extraction, just not much by the way of cosmetic work.

All of his various pamphlets, including the NYU one, can be found hyperlinked in the manifesto. It’s definitely him.

Hell yeah, I’ll give it a look. I’ve almost made it a hobby to research the shit out of the most durable and long lasting items I can buy, and things that are capable of being maintained or repaired since I’m kind of a tinkerer. I also buy American or union made whenever it’s an option.

Boy oh boy have I been waiting for the opportunity to plug my favorite can opener. It’s a “turning one” as you call it, from a company called OhSay. American made, and built like a brick shit house, I have no doubts it’ll outlast me. Google it, I think they’re like $15-20

lol. Okay good.

Sorry I assumed you’d get a laugh out of it, wasn’t trying to do any harm.

Well that’s good to know. Still feeling pretty cozy on fedora, even got secure boot on for whatever that’s worth. Likely not much.

Chances are very, very high, that you are not nearly interesting enough to warrant someone utilizing said back door to discover your stash of furry lewds. The primary target for an exploit like this, is either nation state level (industrial/political espionage, tampering with financial markets, etc.) or criminal enterprise level going after high value targets. Trying to dragnet every random whoever to see if they have data worth compromising wouldn’t be much of a money maker.

That said, this is one of the dangers of using a rolling release. I was running endeavourOS and was likely exposed to the back door for a while. I’ve since switched back to Fedora, which was only exposed on its testing branch (rawhide).

Oooooh super fucking cool. I’ve never been around a barge crane. I know guys that ran big crawlers on barges. Barge work is a whole different ball of wax. You have separate capacity charts to factor how much the barge lists when the crane is loaded. Giant brass balls on the guys doing that shit.

Thanks! I love my work. But like one of my old timer buddies says a lot “it’s amazing the kind of sketchy shit you get used to”.

Largest I’ve operated is 500 ton, largest I’ve seen in person was 900. 1000 ton capacity is a lot of crane. That said, a 1000 ton crane can go over in a heartbeat. All it takes is a shock load from a piece dropping as it’s cut, a failure of the rigging, or even the piece rendering out causing the center of gravity of the load to move further from the crane. Any of those things could send it ass over tea kettle killing everyone in its path. Demo is hands down the most dangerous thing you can do with a crane.

For the same reasons, this is why little 24 ton boom trucks flip doing tree trimming work. Cut a limb loose, it shocks the boom, swings away from the crane, and over she goes.

I wish them luck.

/s right? Right?

As someone who lifts very very heavy things for a living, whoever ends up running the cranes involved will remember this demo job as the sketchiest shit they ever did. Even after every cut and lift of the steel has been engineered to death, this will be a painfully slow process, just to keep the involved workers from getting added to the list of casualties.
