Don't worry, I'm alive. Sorry was dealing with some PC issues (fuck win11)

I'd kind of like the radio back too.

He's getting old now, so I do my best to help him. We all love him.

>>3738
Please give him a headpat and a scritch behind the ears for me!  :D

Will do.

This was on the island of Saint Croix. 

Nah, none of them were anywhere from a place like this. We're contractors, so we travel around a bit, but I doubt any of them had seen anything like that in their lives. 

At least, not all of them.

my condolences anons. I find that having another cat helps with grieving and moving on. Just don't think of the new one as replacement, but a new member of the family.

>>3099 (OP) 
my younger cat died around may, i got them to give my first one company, it was hard to see them go, but the first one is still there and I need to be there too.

I have to take this moment to tell everyone, please anons if you have a kitty and you notice any strange change in behavior, even if it minor, even if it's kitty becoming more grumble-some, or if you notice them walking a bit funny, PLEASE take then to the vet immediately. Because when whatever manifests, it's going to be too late and it'll happen to quick for you to do anything about it.

More passed on yitty yat photos. A tribute to my sister. She lived into her 20s in the early 2020s until a few years ago. She kept me sane at so many moments and was my best friend, miss you girl.

>>3742
Thanks for sharing these, Anon. She was a pretty kot.

Why the Kalishnakov hate, Anon? Do you not like the cartridge (I wouldn't know why), or did you fall for the lego gun meme? Not trying to hate on the AR, just guessing that is your sacred cow.

If I could do it all over, I absolutey would have gone .410 for a general property/garden gun. I did the 12 and 20 guage thing and it was just too much gun for what I needed them for. I did look into the Bond Arms derringers but probably would have been better served with a long gun. The Taurus Judge was pretty nuts too but way too clunky to justify.

>>3693
>Property/Garden gun
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.

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

My combination of choice for hosting is this:
>12oz glass
>Add 5 or so ice cubes
>Add 1 1/2 or 2 shots of Jim Beam peach whiskey
>Fill with Arizona Arnold Palmer 1/2 and 1/2
>Stir well
It's such a smooth drink you have to be careful not to overdo it, especially if you serve out of a punch bowl or pitcher

not a drinker but recently had a sip of hot wine (no idea what wine, it was red) and quite liked it. Might experiment with heating drinks. Wish I had someone to drink with.

Same, but a hot toddy or warm brandy can be very comfy in the wintertime.

bottom shelf cask tawny/port, cheaper than water, decent percentage (20% - 35%), decent amount (2+ litres)
otherwise i drink gin & vermoth at a 1:1 ratio, and a baker's dozen olives for good measure

Usually rum and coke like OP or some variation or combo like it (Whiskey, Lemonade). I usually have it along with strong cider, I can get it fairly cheap where I am, good to get drunk with.
I've not had a drink in all of November, really looking forward to my next drink tbh.

What rock have you been living under? I need it.
But to answer your question, the Enemy has done a great job of dumbing down the populace through a combination of making people too exhausted to think, and then supplying the slop they consume (because it doesn't require them to think.
It's the same reason why a guy who never works might read The Republic, while the working joe chooses to watch Family Guy.
