They have a reputation for jamming and generally being poo poo, which is the last thing you want for personal defense. A .38 revolver is the gun equivalent of a Hilux; you can neglect and abuse it but it'll probably be OK. A compact Glock in 9mm is also highly recommended due to reliability.

If you want something a little bigger I think the CZ-75 compact is pretty popular.

I've never shot one but I've played with a Kel-Tec in a store and they just feel mighty cheesy compared to a "proper" gun.

Don't get a Hi-Point either.

Thanks man, I figured the .38 was my best option as far as dependability goes. Haven't shot the kel tec in awhile but when I do it always jams, gently caress that poo poo, I thought it was the rounds I was shooting but if it's a problem with them I should probably just get rid of it because it's no good to me then. I'm gonna look into a Glock, and I've been meaning to get a shot gun for home as well so it looks like a trip to the gun store soon :)

The only annoying part is he literally reverses INTO a bush to poo poo in it, so you can't clean it up.

I know that feeling. Sort of. My pug likes to poo poo on things. He likes to climb up on rocks and small bushes and do his business. Cleaning up the rocks isn't a big deal but the bushes are a pain in the rear end.

Catholicism: When Even The Other Christians Hate You, You're Doing Something Wrong

gently caress, where did you hear/experience that? 'Cuz I'm (nominally) Catholic, and that was never a thing. I've got friends of every stripe, and a fair number are kids of friends of my parents, who have been practicing Catholics their entire lives. I tend to find that Catholics in my world are the most tolerant of major Christian branches. I think you're thinking of Baptists.
Doesn't stop some folks from being assholes, but the religion has nothing to do with it. They're just assholes.

e: f,b, lots. And I like Francis as well. We've need that guy for a while.


I had a Craigslist transaction that did not end in murder, mine or his, today. My wife lightly ran into our aluminum 16' garage door years ago, and it's been slowly flexing itself to death since then. I've crutched it along by bracing it at the bend points as they come up, but it was time to replace the poor thing Somehow, miraculaously, 4 16' garage door panels appeared on Craigslist only 45 minutes away, for $50! Insulated, even.
Emailed the guy via Craigslist, and he responded in a timely fashion. First shock. Second was that they were still available, and that he was available to show them today. Got a phone number, call it - it was correct, chatted with the dude, who seemed to be reasonable, and got an address, which seemed to be correct. Hitched up the trailer, cut some 2x4s to use in making a rack for the door panels (I stacked them, and then stood them vertically on the trailer's gunwales, with 2x4s screwed to the trailer walls to sandwich them. Strapped all that down with straps to prevent forward and rearward motion. Worked well) and headed out to Ponder, TX.
The panels were as described, we loaded them, strapped everything down, I paid him, thanked him, and headed home. No murder, no flakiness. I'm flabbergasted. I'm sure my Craigslist number will come up eventually...

Will do! No idea what time we'll be doing the Rainier thing, but I'll likely shoot you a text tomorrow afternoonish.

The author is super happy about the screenplay, and agreed with all of their changes, so I can't hate too much.

I know someone up thread specifically mentioned the canvas, he admitted himself that he was fine with it cause that was one thing in the book he just hand waved into existence cause he didn't know of anything really to use. So he just invented a material to keep the book going.

That was probably me, and it was mainly because it was replaced by clear sheet plastic and duct tape, used to hold in 1 ATM over a 8' diameter hole. Must be some bitching duct tape.

Went drift karting yesterday with a bunch of dickheads from our little car club. Many MANY spins, 360s, crashes, several broken steering assemblies and multiple popped tyres happened. There were 20 something of us split into 4 groups, each group had 4 sessions each and we were there for about 5 hours spending time going sideways.

Karts are just normal karts but the right rear tyre had plastic piping over it to lessen grip which actually worked really well... Top way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Sadly the best part of the track is up the other end, a series of lovely linking turns where you could spend half the lap drifting from corner to corner but there's nowhere to spectate or get video from :(

Thanks for the offer, but I had a look at the UK site and doesn't look like they do.
It doesn't matter much anyway, it was just speculation on my part that I just had a feeling it would be the case, and hosed up because it was true. I think anything they sell, if it's australian, the scum are going to snap it up. Oh well, good thing I'm going to teach him to like lots of euro, US and Japanese cars instead anyway.

I want to say it's because people who listen to metal and people who make metal (and all the associated subgenres before you start :v: ) are all manchildren who are resistant to change. Thus nothing evolves.

Note this is only a tongue in cheek observation before anyone flips out and goes apeshit.

This is definitely true in some part. I was a post-teen mess when I went through the "gently caress it all" music phase that supplanted my general angst-y teenage years. I was lucky enough to have the Dead Kennedys and The Cure to drive me through high school.

You get to a point, though, where you either realize that you are bigger than your problems, or you go down a silly path of self-destruction that, by definition, hurts nobody but yourself.

Of all the angry music, though, this is one song that I genuinely find to be a fanstastic downer draped upon ridiculously happy music:
