Looks like its time to switch to linux! 

Moved over to mint recently, once you get over some small hurdles its honestly better imo

>i hope youve enjoyed the latestation, anons. please, keep enjoying it!!
Neither of those Anons. I very much have! Some of the stuff is a little too wonky for me, but most of it I like. You even have a few of some of my favorite songs!

I'd kind of like the radio back too.

>>3825
Yeah, that's cool. The Ham Radio crowd has a lot of smart men in it!

>>3826
I hope it turns out beneficial for you somehow, Anon.

>>3827
I wish I knew whether I should be forcing myself to go to sleep earlier or stay up later.

>>3829
That's easy. As the great man said
>“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
>t. Benjamin Franklin

>tl;dr
Go to bed earlier, Anon. Good luck.

>>3830
That's easy to say but the choice is between trying to sleep after less than 12 hours awake or staying up for 20+. I face the conundrum at least once a week.

>>3831
Yeah, I get it. I suffer from similar circadian rhythm issues. But as someone who used Ben's approach in the past, I can tell you the results are well worth it! Good luck, Anon.

>>3808
I do like it though. Just less. It's obvious why most people like it more. It's a better show.

One thing I prefer about TOS is the original looks of the Klingons and Romulans. They might be less alien in appearance, but  I've always thought the later designs  with the deformed foreheads looked ugly and stupid. As an added bonus, the classic Klingon look makes Reddit types seethe over how "racist" it supposedly is.

>>3814
The original had much better aesthetics than anything else in general.

On S1 EP9 of Enterprise now. I enjoyed the pre-industrial atmosphere on this episode in particular (the previous couple episodes were very solid in general) but the reviews online weren't kind to the writing/plot.

WRONG ANON. There are five lights.

Try again.

Still here, watching anime every weekend together with some anons really helps me keep going.
This has been going for a decade now...
I'm glad that some remain faithful in getting together every week till now, it's kinda funny.

>>3799
Glad you're still here, Anon. Stay strong.

I'm hoping to live to see the UFO phenomenon, idealism or panpsychism, and other "woo" ideas gain acceptance. If society adopts a more accurate ontological roadmap, which I think would entail things along those lines, then maybe a better world will emerge from it. I'd like to see what the future will bring in that regard.

I just noticed that I've already posted previously, but at least this is a more detailed response.

For a long time I didn't have anything to look forward to everyday. Now all I have is church every week.

That's good, Anon! I hope it's a Bible-believing Christian church. Regardless, I'm glad to see you getting around others once a week. Cheers.  :)

Not my experience, my first love turned to scorn and my 2nd, and current burns brighter in different ways. I've connected with her physically better than anyone before. But I myself am still in a bit of shock from the loss of my first relationship, it lasted 6 years and felt like a divorce when it ended, it was longer than my parents own marriage. I want to give my current love what she deserves but a part of me still wants to be alone, I'm not sure I'm ready, so in the meantime I'll just treat her well and do my best to take care of myself. 
I haven't connected with her mentally like I probably should, there's still a part of me that's afraid of getting too close after the last time.

>>3202
Anon, I'm unsure if you've tried this yet so forgive me if it's redundant. But it sounds like you still love her and want to save your marriage if she's willing. Protect yourself first, prepare for having to leave before making this ultimatum to her. But once you're ready you have to, it's not healthy for you, her, or the kids to be dysfunctional for years more. 
When you're ready, if I were you, I would ask her point blank, "What is wrong, why aren't you present with me? Is it something I can help with or change? Is it something you need support with and I can help you change? Is it something I did and need to work on? Is it some combination of any of these reasons? I want to make this work and will put in the work and love you if you still love me, but I won't stick around if you don't want to walk the path of life with me anymore."
She may genuinely just need the shock of reality to jar her from whatever her haze is, and you putting the situation to words might help, or it won't, either way there will be no more uncomfortable silence. Be brave anon, and godspeed!

>>3151 (OP) 
I did a few years back near the end of highschool. First person i cared about more than myself and god was i in love with her. We hung out almost every weekend for about a year and it was some of the most fun i'd had up to that point. Too bad i was a piece of shit in that period of my life and made her hate me. The whole thing made me learn and grow a lot and if i could re-experience it all again i would.

>>3546
>Probably the only one who ever truly has.
Pretty sure that God loves you anon.

>>3151 (OP) 
In terms of romantic love, I've had a few painful crushes that never went anywhere.

Doesn't look real.

I actually feel like there's some truth at the center of the prison planet hypothesis, although I'm not the type who thinks escaping is a lost cause or anything like that.

It was da jooz!

always is

I'm playing Morrowind again lately. This game is fabulous.

20 gauge is absolutely viable, with the right setup.
I think .410 handguns are a bit of a meme. I love my Circuit Judge to death though, and highly recommend it. It is made by Rossi, so there isn't the same concern about Taurus quality control. If you have 800 USD lying around, highly recommend getting one.

Maybe I should just 3D print my own firearms. It's getting to the point where our own infrastructure is sketchy.

Also, there's an unofficial firearms registry already, I don't want to make it easier for them.

Those .410/45 Colt handguns are all rifled for legal compliance and pattern extremely poorly with most loads as a result.  Shot cups do not function correctly when spun and you end up with random pellet flinging.  The Judge etc., are universally worse patterning than any real shotgun while also not having comparable power to decent pistol rounds. Buckshot flies better from these meme guns, but Federal 4 pellet 000 buck is only flinging 210 grains at an optimistic 850 ft/s. That's giving you about 337 lbf of energy.  That's less energy than poor quality 9x19mm ball and it's less than half the energy of a spicy .357 magnum.
