nice! What's do you use each notebook for?

Yeah I like the look, like something you'd see on a spaceship

Nukes. We know they have them and missiles to deliver them. Any situation where a wildcard like North Korea uses nukes in any offensive capacity is terrifying. "Nuclear War: A Scenario" is a great modern book on how things could go to hell if one single North Korean nuclear missile is launched towards the United States.

Artillery. In any case of open war on North Korea anyone within artillery range of the NK border will be bombarded with heavy shelling. Even if it lasted for just an hour or two before the batteries were eliminated the civilian casualties and destruction would be like a large natural disaster. Now imagine if chemical shells were added to the mix, because they have those too.

China has the most leverage to help North Korea on a humanitarian and diplomatic level without risking war, so if it could be done the best chance is through them.

"tactical" was (and still is) the "gamer" for all kinds of outdoor related gear

It's supposed to suggest that it's simple and rugged, like how gaming stuff is supposed to be about peak performance. So tactical stuff gets a black or brown coat of paint and gaming stuff gets RGB lighting

With an AI image lol

Well shit, I would if I could. Not touristy shit but like a nice quiet spot, a fire and a drink in my hand

I agree! The 2nd amendment isn't for the right or left. It is for EVERYONE, some people just chose to ignore it because they could. It's easy to make fun of open carry gun nuts and paranoid preppers, but you know maybe a government that is unwilling/unable to help you isn't so far fetched after all

Anyone can buy similar stuff, train at a range every month or so to get proficient (dry fire is fine too if you don't have a range), read a few military manuals your tax money paid for. Being a responsible gun owner may sound daunting but it's not.

Then work on physical fitness a bit, enough to take a 5+ mile hike without dying. Learn some first aid too because everyone should be able to deal with a gunshot wound anyway.

In the end you can't assume that your political opponents to take risks for you

True and say what you want about American wars, they don't take territory for themselves. Russia on the other hand

Ukraine was invaded, twice, with Russia as the aggressor. That isn't Ukraine's fault and they have every right to kick Russian ass as long as it takes for Russia to pull out or negotiate. Both will be politically painful so the war goes on.

And if you're in a shooting war with Russia, who better to ask for weapons than the US? Even old outdated US equipment was designed to take on Soviet equipment so yeah you want them as friends to give your nation a fighting chance and prove to Russia and the international community that they won't be pushovers.

And look at NATO. They are bumping defense GDP to 5%. Finland, Poland, Estonia and others are withdrawing from agreements that forbid the placement of anti-personnel mines. Even if this war ends tomorrow, nobody seems to think Russia will be satisfied for long

"checkmate atheists!"

Calling someone's AR military grade is a pretty good insult!

20 miles one way is going to be a rough commute to start. I agree with other comments about riding for fun to get the setup right for you and build endurance

I don't know if this is feasible for you but maybe get a bike rack and drive part way, park somewhere public and ride the rest of the way in?
