Sit back, relax, and enjoy myself.

Unburned tobacco smells lovely. Walk into a cigar shop's humidor to learn what I mean.

Every chapter must come to its natural close. That is what starts the next chapter.

Likely that was her only food source.

Everybody gangster until they lose an Air Pod.

I was a PS gamer since the PS1. Thousands of hours spent over decades.

I switched to PC (linux) late last year and my PS Plus membership lapsed in April of this year. I won't be back.

There is some band overlap, but I am no expert.

I agree with your sentiment, and I am in a similar boat. I dont think stepping away from Reddit / Facebook / Instagram / TikTok is hardcore.

I didn't have eleventy billion updooterinos on Reddit, but I had a fair share. When they made their stand around 2 years ago, I nuked my profile and bailed.

Drywall and wood are wildly different than brick walls in stopping power, and I would absolutely agree that most bullets (even the lead-nosed [or soft] bullets) will go through several layers of gypsum and at least one layer of wood and retain lethality.

One correction: Green tips are different than you describe. They can penetrate low level body armor because of the steel core. They are not soft core. They penetrate low level body armor because the softer lead and copper jacket deform / slough off, and then the steel core continues to move through.

The M855 round was designed to penetrate through vehicles (doors and windows) and still be lethal to unarmored occupants. They just happen to be relatively effective at piercing low level armor as well.

Edit: To go back to my original thought: I still do not believe that these rifles should be leveraged by the police.

 
 

Hello archers! I learned the very basics of archery in my early youth on a very basic fiberglass youth bow. While still very young, I picked up a second hand compound bow.

Somewhere along the lines, life got in the way, and I dropped the sport. In my middle years, I am trying to pick up the sport again. I see posts here about Olympic Recurve and Barebow shooting.

I know that I can simply google or YouTube a quick answer, but I wanted to start a discussion here about the differences between bows and their uses.

For instance, I inherited my stepfather's wooden recurve hunting bow. I have always known that "style" to be a recurve. What makes an Olympic recurve bow different?

 

This song resonates with me.
