  • I don’t think nicotine is overplayed, I think that is a sliding scale on how it affects you.

    To be fair, I feel exactly like you. I quit smoking a couple of years ago. It was never the nicotine for me. It was the breaks, the ritual, and something to do with my hands. The more anxiety I felt, the more ritual I’d use. So if I just wanted a break I’d light up and smoke. But if shit went down I’d light up with a match and be very deliberate with my inhaling and breathing.

    I still miss it. I wish I had something half as calming to replace it. But I still think a lot of folks have a serious issue with physical addiction to nicotine.









  • Gamer uncle here. Depending on my mood I’m either a wise and thoughtful teacher helping the younger generation learn the ins and outs of games (some of which they shouldn’t play, but I’m also firework uncle so I’m not always safe), or I’m “I will knock you off Rainbow Road as I lap you” uncle. I’m also older brother and treated my younger siblings exactly the same way 30 years ago.

    When we all get together the kids are on their own because the adults are too busy playing four player couch games. Their gamer grandpa still plays battle for wesnoth with me periodically, but otherwise he plays a bass fishing game.








  • It’s that in black. That Colt is going to feel much better, though.

    Northeast Texas. I’ve got a buddy up there with some land and we have to go clear them out a couple of times a year. They tear up everything. He lost a dog to them a few years ago and now we go out there like clockwork instead of waiting for them to get closer to the house.


  • I have a Hi-Point .45 pistol and that pretty accurately describes it (the weight is fine but the balance is weird and makes it feel terrible).

    I use it as a close range backup when I’m hog hunting. I’ve only had to use it once and it worked just fine. It literally saved me from being at least maimed and possibly dead but I still hate it. And I’ll keep using it until it stops working, which may be the apocalypse.
