I continue to find myself surprised by my aim. Today I shot a long gun for the first time and even though my stance was probably awful my spread was tight.

In case anyone was in the market to buy a Ruger mini-14, be warned they beat themselves up to the point of buffer breakage in 1 000 rounds give or take.

@scribus do you know if SKS rifles are OK? I imagine not because of the bayonet, and I know Yugoslav modells aren’t because of the grenade launcher apparatus
-
@awl Grenade launcher model is a very definite no-no, but I'm not finding anything about the bayonet; it's actually looking like a "maybe" that hinges on whether or not the magazine is detachable
-
@scribus I either think of the Russian or Yugo carbines explicitly when thinking or hearing of the SKS, which all had internal magazines

I could swear on my life 40 was spelled fourty and not forty. I have known English for the majority of my life and for some reason I Mandela-effected myself into believing that it was written with a *u*. It made more sense because of the *u* in fo*u*r. Without the *u* it looks like an adjective to the word "fort", like "Your forty house is well-secured against a horde of zombies."

@awl The way we spell "forty" is stupid. Like it's "Four" and "Fourteen" so it really should be "fourteen"
-
@elli It's really so common and obvious that we could probably stand to officially change it, I mean it's not like Webster's is making the rules, nothing but convention and mental inertia behind it
-
@elli no we don’t let foreigners dictate how we spell words. English is to never change ever.

@pandaexpress Around that long yeah, glad to hear it came around for you in the end.
I've been pretty well all around. 2017 was kind of a mess but other than that, there have been a lot more upsides than downsides. Some losses sure, but death is unavoidable, all that is within my control ticks under my rythm and that's all that matters to say life is good.
Made a lot of friends, got new certifications and a different job, dropped my ex and had a lot of fun these last 8 years. All I can possibly complain of right now is that the stock market is not as good as I'd wish lol.Emily likes this. -
@pandaexpress much the same. Purpose in life does wonders for a person.

Also don't buy a tank like the last guy in this site who got 5 million did.

The backpack I'm using for over 15 years is still holding well enough but I feel like I've grown out of it. It was fine for a good while but my use-case has shifted dramatically. Nowadays I use it for holding all my bike stuff and for some emergency storage whenever my shopped items don't fit in my bags. The stuff I have in my backpack right now gets more in the way lately because the items are oddly shaped for the compartments they are. A poncho, umbrella, small first-aid kit, repair tools, hand pump, tote bags, paper tissues, N95-masks, pens. I wish I could sew one myself.

@awl I use my backpack almost exclusively when I use my bike. So my needs are pretty much the same all the time. On good weather days I don't need to carry an umbrella or poncho but they will be definitely not there when I actually need them if I don't have it always packed. I hope I don't overpack. I was once thinking about carrying a set of new chain and hoses but these might be overkill as I would need more time to fix that than to push the bike back home.
-
@awl I just have good ol' ordinary rim brakes that are attached to a bowden tube. Also my hub gearing brakes when backpedaling.

12 hour work days effed me up. I'll probably sleep through the whole weekend.

@awl Envy, lol. They were supposedly vivible from about an hour away from my house, but I didn't trust that I would be the only one making the drive, kinda expected a horde of headlights to drown it out :-/
-
@scribus yeah you’re far enough down south people would lose their banana over it. I had seen them off the north shore last two years living in the car.
-

@nerthos road trip road trip roadtriP ROAD TRIIPPP!!!I
-
@nerthos i've been since msay, but i will go to france again in the end of november, for the last time finally
-
@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

it is kind of a long shot, but are any of you nerds good with that Julia programing language?

@mushi A friend of mine uses Julia for his work. Personally I don't like it very much as it reminds me of Matlab and I dislike Matlab very much. Cannot help you there

So, i'm in my PhD now, i got a cotutelle scholarship with the university of Lorraine, in france (i speak nearly nothing of french tho, so my first time going to france qas a hell of an adventure.

I say, considering USA's COVID response, we should start a nationwide campaign informing people of the dangers of putting their junk in a blender (or vice versa), just to see what happens

@awl yeah, I liked it overall (and most of the themes in season 6 hit extremely close for me) but it's probably the weakest season since the first
-
I’m beginning to consider the idea that maybe I have coronavirus but all it’s doing to me is giving me a cold. It’s been around 6-10 days since I was possibly exposed to it by an elderly customer who maybe got it in Arlington (never did figure out who it was and if they were even in the store), and I’ve been dealing with cold symptoms for a few days now. No fever yet, though, and my cough was exceptionally minor and is gone today. Hopefully if that’s the case I didn’t get anyone sick, I was careful to make sure I was sanitizing everything in my cough radius just in case.

@mrmattimation I thought the same until I had a fevre this morning. So now I’m self-quarantining.
