    As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

    Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.

    Something tells me this guy didn’t pay the tax stamp and give the government his exact address and fingerprints when he acquired that suppressor.

    Especially because from the video it doesn’t look like he’s ever shot that suppressed pistol before, or he’d have fixed it to actually cycle the gun properly. Having your gun jam on every shot is not exactly ideal when you’re planning something like this, and it sure sounds like he planned everything else decently well.

    Likely the suppressor was homemade and probably not test fired due to the risk of getting caught. That means this guy likely lives in an urban or suburban area where people are likely to report the sound of muffled gunshots. That only leaves most of the country as suspects.

    Amazing how something in the news happens and people suddenly have never seen extremely common fashion choices before.

    I have pretty much this exact coat, except it’s in blue, not tan. The hood is made out of cotton instead of the heavier denim/canvas the coat is made from.

    I’ve owned several coats exactly like it over the years, I think all of mine were made by Levi, but I’m sure plenty of other manufacturers make similar styled jackets as the contrasting fabrics look nice and a thinner hood is more flattering.

    Look at his collar in the photos, there’s no shadow or layer where the hood would go under the jacket like it would were he wearing a hoodie under a jacket.




  • I’ve always managed with pliers and a flathead screwdriver.

    I have to take at least one of them off every couple of months because my wife shops at big box stores a lot and most of the employees around here don’t really give a shit.

    They’re meant to be hard to remove in a store. If you find them on your merchandise while at your own home, it’s not exactly hard to get them off.

    They think not masturbating will give them anything from higher testosterone, better focus, or to a higher IQ.

    They think masturbation makes you weaker in every way.

    This is of course patently false, and all basically rises from an old athlete myth that sex during training will reduce your progress. Which these dorks then took to an extreme by saying any ejaculation will reduce progress in physical and mental training. Because we all know that the key to success is stored in the balls.



  • To orbit the moon, a space craft needs to move at about 1.5 km/s, or 3300 miles per hour.

    So any landing starts with you going at 1.5 km/s and needs to end at the moons surface when you reach about 0 meters per second.

    If anything goes wrong with your engines while you slow down, you smack into the moon at either near orbital speeds, or at fighter jet speeds. The window for having an engine failure and being slow enough to survive is so narrow that it might as well not exist.

    That’s why Apollo used pressure fed, self igniting engines. As long as 2 valves opened, you had an engine. And Apollo landers had a totally separate ascent engine that worked exactly the same way, so if the landing engine failed, they could just drop the landing stage and return to orbit at practically any time during the descent. They even had a whole procedure of what to do if the ascent engine didn’t light when they were supposed to leave. Everything from jump starting the engine like a car with a dead battery, to physically getting access to the valves and manually opening them.

    I hate the current plan for Artemis. I hate that in 55 years, we’ve only managed to make shit more complicated. The current plan is for a vehicle with no abort capability to ignite its 3 turbo pumped, liquid methane fueled engines at least 4 times to get from low earth orbit to the moons surface, with days between ignitions.

    A capability that has never been shown to work or even exist in any capacity. Turbo pumps are finally machined pieces of engineering that need to behave exactly right, or they turn a rocket into either a bomb, or a giant tube that can’t move. And the current plan for Artemis calls for these finely crafted pieces of machinery to be subjected to the harsh environment of both space where they’ll sit for at least a week, and multiple ignitions, where they’re subjected to ridiculous temperatures and pressures.

    Absolutely ridiculous. We never left an astronaut on the moon in the 60s and 70s, but by god are they trying to open the first graveyard on the moon these days.




  • Some of y’all aren’t training your dogs on food aggression and anxiety and it shows.

    Play with your dog’s food while it eats, don’t take it away, but move the bowl around and stick your fingers in the food. Get them used to you fucking with their food, and show them that nothing bad happens when their food gets touched. Especially if you have little kids or have little kids that come to your home with friends and family, your dog should be trained not to get anxious or aggressive about food. I’ve seen a lot of kids get scared by dogs because the dog is very defensive about food, but 5 minutes of training a day will knock that right out of them.




  • My best friend buys a new chefs knife every month at the dollar store

    Ihe was throwing them away, but now he gives them to me. I’ve shown him how sharp I can get them and how long they last with the edge I put on them, but he does not want to learn or just give them to me to sharpen every few months.

    I now sell his sharpened throw aways to friends and family for 5 bucks a pop.
