'Sup?

Oh and to quote one Wilhuff Tarkin:

"I maintain that the effectiveness of the Star Destroyer stems from not only its massive firepower, but from its
size. When [mouthbreathing right brainers] look at a Star Destroyer and then compare it to the craft which might be mustered to attack it, they have a tendency to dismiss such a notion as suicidal rather than approach the problem tactically."

Meanie!

Starting tomorrow, I am a janitor at the elementary school where my wife works. I haven't had full time work since July.

That's random. At least there won't be any stress.

Update: HR once again screwed up and just tossed my application in the trash, again. After the position closed in early Dec, my buddy told me that engineering said "nobody applied". I emailed the manager and he said he'd look into it. A little later I saw the position reposted, but that my application was still in.

The manager contacted me to say they got my app straightened out but that they were going to wait till early January to review the applicants because everyone was on vacation, but that he was excited that I applied.

Two days ago I got a call from the manager. He said I have been selected and they're working with HR to get me an offer. Sounds good, but I've already been here once...

Second try is a charm?

pretty soon i'll be able to add 'machinegun instructor' to my resume, getting trained on them and running a couple shoots now

so far i'm still enjoying being a gun store wagie

Elementary/middle school it turns out. The boxes in the stalls of the girls' bathrooms were taped over and had little printed signs saying to dispose of female hygiene products in the trash cans instead. I was told to take them don't since we don't have liners for them. Well, whatever cocksucker taped over the boxes didn't fucking empty them first.
OPchan... Like putrid death.

Neat!

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'”

― Martin Luther King Jr. to a group of students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia on October 26, 1967.

The touchscreen is a huge 17-inches in size, as Tesla ramps up its digital touchpoints and tries to stay ahead of the likes of Ford, which this week confirmed a suspiciously familiar 15in screen for its new Mustang Mach-E electric car.

The Tesla Cybertruck electric pick-up loaded up a Tesla ATV, but no information was given about that.

> Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive 250-mile range, 6.5sec 0-60mph $39,900

For truck money, that's pretty reasonable. A half ton Ford or Chevy is in the same ballpark.

Also, it's fucking huge compared to the F150!

Automotive side glass is tempered, like in this video. That acted more like laminated windshield glass.

I'm mostly curious about how they managed to get it past regulations, from my understanding all cars nowadays are bland and uggo soapbars because of pedestrian crash safety ratings, but the Tesla truck looks like a sword on wheels.

>I expect at least 30 days of strict Victorian styled mourning
??
Sorry about your wife getting injured in a car crash and please don't take this the wrong way, but have you flipped your lid? Do people in the 21st Century still do that whole "wear black mourning clothes and veils" for displaying shows of grief? And if it's "strict" Victorian-style mourning, then it's for two years for widows. But I recommend you do not emulate the ludicrous mourning or funeral practices of the Victorians. Queen Victoria (granddaughter of mad King George III and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld) married her cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840, where their children married into royal and noble families across the continent, spreading hemophilia in European royalty. After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning, wearing black funeral clothes and avoided public appearances. She drove herself nuts with that dour stuff!

Victorian Mourning Etiquette:
Widows were expected to wear full mourning for two years. Everyone else presumably suffered less – for children mourning parents or vice versa the period of time was one year, for grandparents and siblings six months, for aunts and uncles two months, for great uncles and aunts six weeks, for first cousins four weeks. https://www.tchevalier.com/fallingangels/bckgrnd/mourning/

Fuck... I often joke, my wife can do a lot with $400,000. But being the one with the chronic incurable auto-immune disease, she's likely to die first (albeit still decades from now). Honestly not something I've given much thought to either.
I hope your missus has a speedy recovery.

>>113192
Damn man. Best wishes for the wife.

> I was caught with my pants down, and I was useless (although I realize that even if my cool had been kept, the EMTs would have still wanted me out of their way).

It's ok to lose your shit sometimes. I'm a bawling mess at funerals. I cried when I took my cat to get put down.

Try to stay busy and keep helping the wife. Lay off any alcohol. Going down the path of "what if's" will drive you nuts, so if you feel your mind going that way, watch some youtube fail videos or something.

At least she's okay. That's all that matters. I would absolutely 100% lose my shit dude.

My wife is the only thing in the world that's truly important to me anymore. People say that they couldn't live without their spouse, but I LITERALLY could not live without her and would go off the deep end.

I've got a big boy deployment coming that I need to have a proper will hashed out for. I don't really trust the automatic "wife gets everything" response I got from one of the post law guys.

SCA is the common one, but MS is the other likely option, one of those is a bit scarier than the other.

If it's SCA there is a really promising possibility of treatment with CRISPR in the relatively near future.

I think I remember he was on some dumbshit about trying to convince them it was stupid, which in itself was a fucking stupid idea.

Anyone used these things?
Fun to fire or range toy oddity?

One of my range buddies had a AK pistol in 7.62x39 with a muzzle brake on it. Holy ballsack was that thing loud. The brake would blast stuff off tables.

No recoil. Fun as hell to shoot. Completely useless.

Looks awkward, impractical, even ugly.

yeah I'm not too enthused about this development

Yep, shit sucks. Every political cycle whoever is in office fucks it up so bad the other side wins the next time.

I'm dealing with California bullshit now. Most of my rifles are disassembled until I can make them "featureless" and gasoline is 2 bux a gallon more than the east coast.

GOP fucked this one up. 27 uncontested districts. Even worse, was one of them was a known pedophile. Should have been an easy win, but noooo.

Eyeballying storage in WV just in case.

I moved to VA not too long ago. Similar deal to OP. Wife got into grad school in the area and fortunately I found it relatively easy to find comparable work. Similar exposure to the college campus and well-to-do environment too but I'm keen to remember that it's a large state and it's major metropolitan areas that typically lean left are few. I don't advocate for either mainstream political party because bipartisanship is a false dichotomy only subscribed to by non-thinkers. I think the Republican-leaning constituents were lulled into a false sense of security by who occupies the White House and the party responsible for preventing that laziness failed to do so.

I've already started looking at investing in more magazines since that always seems to be a "feature" the gun control movement likes to target. I may look to increase my ammunition stock too since there's so much talk of limiting those purchases or making them restricted to FFLs. I may look to invest in more stripped (or 80%) AR lowers to make builds easier in the future without breaking the bank now, but that also assumes uppers don't become controlled. That said, I think I have my bases for AR uppers covered for any possible barrel length and popular caliber but investing in more is a relatively simple way of flexing more capability out of one gun that doesn't show up on "gun purchase" statistics.
