I tell you hwat.

You know you’re a farmer if you’ve ever cleaned yourself with dirt.

A Swedish nut lathe.

I’m currently shooting myself periodically with 5.7 in order to boost my immunity to lethal rounds like 10mm.

Save the brass! Time to take up reloading in case you get mugged a lot.

UT tries to provide a phone OS, which is remarkably harder than porting a desktop distro to ARM and changing the screen size. I’m not sure what the point is of dunking on UT several times here.

GrapheneOS has a sandboxed Google Play that works fine with any banking apps I’ve used. You can also move them to a work profile to segregate them further and still used them.

I just took a 16x9 and hacked the sides off with a sawsall. It doesn’t work now, but I still feel superior.

They’re pretty heavy to go flailing around, especially when they’re flapping their wings trying to hit you. They’re big. But so tasty.

I’ve seen a couple on a few hikes in the Alberta Badlands.

I’ve had over a dozen black bear encounters, and two grizzly. The blacks I’ve just made a lot of noise and looked like more trouble than it’s worth.

The first grizzly I just froze and he lost interest or couldn’t see me (I was downwind) and the second I had my nephew get behind me and keep me between us as he crept away. The bear watched and then went back to grubbing a log, so I slowly moved directly away from him.

I’m still alive so I must be doing something right, besides the part where I don’t backpack where the bears are.

You’ve never picked up a pissed off Canada, I gather. I have, it’s distressingly difficult to finish them off by wringing their necks, not to mention them trying to kill you as you do it.

“Aaaaahhh… the French.”

Keep going, I’m so close…

Tasteless Vegan Pap

That’s pretty funny, actually.

Oh, fuck that noise. Tankies are anyone that figure the Soviets were good for the Eastern Bloc countries, and that China can do no wrong as it oppresses a fifth of the world’s population like they’re expendable slaves. Usually they’re out here telling us how Ukraine should just roll over to Putin and that there’s nothing to see in Xinjiang.

I’m not going to stop using “tankie” to describe these fucks.

I have shot, gutted, skinned, butchered and processed more animals that most people have laid eyes on in their lifetimes. I’ve either raised or hunted nearly every bit of meat I’ve eaten in the last 15 years, and given way more of it away to food banks and needy neighbors than I’ve eaten myself.

But I agree, people should be prepared to kill their own meat, it makes them appreciate it more.

Oh, isn’t it annoying to be reminded of your own misplaced zealotry? I used to be like this about atheism, like 20 years ago. What a smug cunt I was. Not that I stopped being an atheist, just that at one point the smugness hit a singularity and I came out the other side going “what was I thinking? I’m not going to change anyone’s mind, and in the process, being a twat to anyone I disagree with and getting my blood pressure up isn’t doing me any favours.”

And hell yah, eating mostly meat and fat is an amazingly effective way to lose weight and fix a lot of stomach issues. Carbs are evil to the body.

Nope, I’m mainly mocking you and your virtue signalling imperative.
