one of the most annoying things about the VA is that they send me mail, but they send the exact same piece of mail to my aunt's house.

i have called to try to remedy this, but nothing ever changes so i just kind of gave up trying. at least my aunt is cool about it. they send maybe two or three pieces of mail a month.

speaking of mail, i'm hype as gently caress to be getting my kindle on thursday.

Kindles own so hard. Not only do I read faster on them, it's less book clutter taking up space.

Pretty sure that's just the MILES laser, which fits with the background looking like some lovely temp Bs at a training center.

Oh look lol I didn't recognize it, assumed it was an IR laser of some kind.

A rough clone of that M4 shouldn't be that much, maybe $1500 tops if you piece it together yourself. Depends on how close you want the parts exactly.

I see CompM4 CCOs go for $475ish used on the regular. You could put together an upper and lower from PSA for cheaper as well. Just gotta get a premium or CHF upper, not the bottom of the barrel ones.

My workplace finally got my desk/cubicle area set up. I had them set everything so that it would be a standing desk all the time. I really like standing desks. This is probably the lamest work related thing I've ever been excited about. Now I can actually settle in!

I haven't fired a S&W AR, but they have a street rep for being a decent starter gun. If I wanted a basic starter gun I'd probably spring an extra couple hundred for a Colt 6920 or something like that, but I am also very much an overboard gear queer so take that for what it's worth :shepicide:

I'd stay away from anything under the Cerberus umbrella, that mainly being Remington and Bushmaster. They cut QC a bunch. DPMS is terrible as well. My first contracting company issued those, and we had several new guns blow bolt lugs within the first few hundred rounds. Not sure regarding Windham. You probably won't go wrong with a S&W. (Again I haven't ever fired one, so take that FWIW.)

That said, it's unenforced by most of the sheriffs in the state. The local gun store here in town openly sells >15rd mags as "rebuild kits" and has ever since the ban hit.

My hombre, if you're throwing your back out doing deadlifts stop doing deadlifts or drop the weight SIGNIFICANTLY so you can focus on form. Your back should not be engaging to that point whatsoever.

Clench that rear end like the green weenie is trying to invade, deep belly breath, squeeze the lats like you're trying to crush oranges under your armpits and hinge at the HIPS.

Yeah I stopped. Having that happen twice in a year was enough for me. No other exercise I do has that kind of risk or injury potential.

I've been doing kettlebell swings to work that area in the meantime. What other lower back exercises are there that aren't as risky?

If you're packing yourself, just make sure you use appropriately sized boxes for what you're moving.

The only thing I hated more than those couches that fold out into beds and pianos were people that packed a bunch of books into very large boxes.

Also those plastic tote things suck for moving. Can't stack many on top of one another and they don't move well on a dolly.

If that makes sense.

It does, yes. It's not some CGI extravaganza of NYC being destroyed and superpowers and witty quips flying everywhere. It's not some silly origin story where the same parental figures die that we've seen die numerous times already either. I think this is the first comic book movie that was about ending.

Pacific Rim was the culmination of every piece of media I consumed prior to finishing high school. The best part was that I saw it in theaters and had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what the movie was going to be about. Hadn't seen a trailer, read a plot summary, anything other than vaguely knowing it was about giant robots.

Let me tell you, going in blind was an experience.

I was doing some off trail land nav last month to make a shortcut and somehow ended up on private property, which I didn't think anything of until I saw a run down house through the trees, surrounded by old construction vehicles. It was like a cross between slasher movies and Mad Max.

Had to creep around it MGS style so as not to be detected. Probably wouldn't have gone over well since I had Waldo out and slung. Ended up not being a shortcut due to the time it took to be sneaky.
