Today more than ever I want to take the speakers these fuckers who blast their music for the whole warehouse to hear use and spike them into the concrete floor I really can't stand that they're allowed to play the music that loudly some days I mean even on a good day it's a mild annoyance but on days like this it's outright obnoxious
Getting my deposit and ~$170 in interest tomorrow pogged landlady was not pleased to hear I'd spoken to lawyers on the matter, but I just told her if she's wholly against it, I'll just drag her to court over it
Now I just gotta keep an eye on my bank account, and start SHIT if she ends up rescinding on that shit Legally speaking I'm on such firm ground I'd confidently spend any amount on lawyers knowing she'd have to cover that when she inevitably loses, but I don't *want to* have to get the law involved here
I mean honestly a small part of me was KINDA hoping she'd refuse so I could take her to fucking court It's a bother, but I was absolutely fucking gonna
You don't cheat me out of $170 when I know they're mine, and it'd be pretty satisfying to drag her in front of a fucking court
Sure but it'd be really satisfying to sue her ass for something that's absolutely, without question, my fucking right Like, there's a 0% chance she'd win that case I already won it before telling her

yeah you should just like destroy her leave her unable to walk if you're gonna get back at her you gotta go all the way 💪
>>969501 Eh Knowing her new tenant paid in 50% more for their deposit, I'm probably just gonna figure out who they are and let them know about the delay interest shit, too, so in a year they can charge her like $220 or some shit
you should definitely break her legs why would you take someone to court when you think about it like that's literally utilizing a corrupt system that is authoritatively dictating aspects of your life just like your landlord so break their legs

it's reality On this particular issue, it's wholly black and white, inscribed in the law
We're talking about giant snakes that are like 3+ meters long. Some people hunt them with shotguns, yeah, but I'd rather with a rifle because shotguns are gay.
if i go hunt pythons it'll be without ton and pan though and besides if you get hurt in lots of parts of the everglades there's no getting you to the hospital unless it's a broken bone or something venomous snake bites? you're gonna be way too far from a hospital although if that happened to one of us i could treat it and we'd probably be fine
killing something in self defense is never illegal
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>969561 He'll suck the venom out. >>969570 Where did you hear that? Also it's not like venomous snakes are the size of bbebears and roar when they attack, its more of a step on snek, get bit situation. So you won't have time to kill it.
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
if you kill more than one dangerous animal they're gonna realize it's not self defense especially in a national park full of endangered animals
I'm working under the assumption you'd either carry it for defense OR for legal hunting here I don't think going out for the sake of killing endangered species is Cool and Good, because I'm not a fucking lunatic
>>969585 Correct. Carrying a shotgun on a hike is going to cause you a lot of trouble. If you're hiking to somewhere to camp for a few days or to go hunting, you might bring one, but that's totally different.
>>969594 We're going to, depending on the weather. Might be closer to 40 but we don't know yet.
>>969595 Do they even have venomous snakes where you live? This isn't a video game, you don't have to kill them. Snakes will leave you alone.
ToN
have you considered going around the snake
S C
I think we've got one venomous snake here, but biting a Norwegian hiking in the woods is gonna be hard cause we put stuff in our boots because of badgers
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
dying of heat stroke on a 40c hike seems more dangerous than either a snake or meeting another hiker who is equipped with a shotgun
I hike in 40c every week and have been for like a month. If you know how to do it, it's not really a problem at all. Heat stroke is easily avoidable if you know how!
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>969595 You aren't gonna see the snake before it bites you unless you go out of your way to bite it. Err Out of your way to fuck with it.
Whatever you carry EDC is fine for a hike. You don't need more than that. Even a .22 is good for a hike depending on where you are. In a place with bears, you'll probably bring a .45 but where we're hiking, a .22 is way more than enough.
I'd still probably carry a shotgun when hiking in the US anyway though I've seen true crime and those other shows, I know what's up, you guys have some fucked shit going ong
!PAN/yhxnGc
>>969597 can't do it snek bloc kpath you need the shotgun HM
>>969624 If you have a shotgun. I don't own a shotgun and probably won't ever. So you wouldn't be able to borrow one from me. Whereas you could maybe borrow a handgun from me if you could show me you could handle one safely.
>>969626 The other trails, if we run into gators, we can go around them without too much trouble. So it shouldn't be a problem. If I thought we might run into them and it would be unsafe, I'd absolutely bring a gun.

well of course I don't hav e afucking shotgun

>>969634 People say they're safe all the time and then they hurt themselves or other people. Before I let someone use a gun, they have to prove it to me. I'm very careful about this stuff.
ToN
>>969627 I appreciate your level of planning and care, really. It makes sense that you'd be able to keep me calm.
S C
I know how to handle a fucking gun, I'm not an imbecile
>>969641 i dont think i could hack the head off a gator with any of the availble knives kirara would have i assume anyway maybe he has some real big ones
Like if an impulsive like, panic reaction sets in, it's a lot easier to pull a handgun, and it's not visible until you pull it out, so I'm worried I'd do something I'd regret
You gotta be a straight shooter! But more than being good with a gun you gotta show me you can use it safely.
I was at the range a few weeks ago and some dude kept fucking muzzling me until I threatened him and he got kicked out. There are a lot of people like that who accidentally muzzle people.
People usually muzzle when they're dropping their mag or loading their mag. But you also don't want to aim at the ground in certain places because you can be muzzling your feet or other people's feet. It depends on the range, but usually you want it facing straight up when moving it to the bench and stuff.
>>969665 have you considered muzzle flare from firing gun
ToN
fl*shlight
!PAN/yhxnGc
>>969664 straight up works too i guess in my head i was thinking of the ranges that are like uh stalls? i guess
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah at the stalls you generally want it pointed up or down range
but this old dude kept fuckin muzzlign me when he was loading and i kept saying "please dont muzzle me" and he kept doing it because he doesnt know safety until i said "if you muzzle me one more time im going to take that as a threat" and the RSO kicked them out
I will never have financial stability I've given up on that long ago I'm just waiting for a major boon to coincide with when going to the US would be good
i'm not sure if pan and ton are totally rainproofed but ive got ponchos for us and waterproof bags although that storm will be be long gone when we go it'll just dump a lot of water before we get there even so it'll probably rain while we're hiking at least once

I did finally get a kind of result from the building contractors They came in and installed a new thermostat, and about as I expected, it didn't work There's something broken more broadly with my unit's air system than just the thermostat My suspicions are something might've went when my unit first started flooding because of my faulty shower While the first A/C problems I was having started before I first noticed water leaking into my unit, the A/C system is located pretty much right next to my shower/bathtub So any water leaking out could have reached the system before it reached the parts of the unit where I saw and felt it under the flooring

Florida heard that in like twenty years half the state will be under water and figured "Nothing to lose if we're all dead before that"!
On the other hand climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers probably occupy most if not the same Venn diagram space so maybe this joke doesn't really work

>>970113 I've been seeing quite a few jokes/complaints about the idea of a new Covid vaccine shot every year, but really What do people think the yearly flu shot is? Why is the general flu so little of a concern for most people? Because when flus get serious, dutiful people get their yearly shots until strain proliferation becomes inconsequential and the most of us can go back to being unconcerned by the whole affair Covid's the worst in recent history and it sucks and it sucks even more that there's a large chunk of the population who insist on being idiots about it, but it's still essentially just a flu We can stamp it back to irrelevance as long as were dutiful
Of course they are. I've got mine right here. Says my name, DOB, the pharmacy I got jabbed at, the jab brand I got, and the two dates I got them. It also has my vaxx's serial number on it.
The conspiracy is that they're relevant. They're only used when you're getting your second vaccine. Nobody has ever asked for my card, nobody needs it.
S C
I sure as shit don't have a vaxx card, but I'm only 50% through the process I guess Maybe I'll get one, but probably we don't even have those things here
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

i think i'll watch the emperor's new groove
Anno
>>970131 I'll let you in on a secret You've likely had a vaccine card most your whole life
I have a medical record, yes, but I do not have a discrete vaccine card If one exists, it's a healtcare record in a database somewhere, not something I possess personally
Anno
It's the same thing, you hairsplitting gremlin The only difference is the physical existence
Yeah and having a SSN is the same thing as having a passport After all, one is just a physical object
Anno
That's not true, since there isn't a physical appearance or place of residence directly tied to an SSN A passport also has a different functional purpose from an SSN, where as your vaccination records hold the same purpose as a physical vaccination card, to provide evidence of vaccination against specific serious diseases
medical records don't serve as evidence, they serve as information Those aren't the same
they're not there to prove to your doctor that you've taken the fucking vaccine, they're there to let your doctor know what vaccines you've had and shit
Medical records serve as evidence and information. I've had to show my medical records to employers, to schools, etc. to be allowed to be enrolled or be employed or contracted.
Well I was speaking more of places like parts of Africa where diseases like cholera are not yet functionally eradicated But there are parts of the States where diseases like that are reemerging so I guess you're not too incorrect
I guess all of that stuff is just handled behind the scenes here, at least with school
Anno
Since you've likely got a good, bureaucratic health service over there, it's probable that all this has a routine in place Regular checkups you have as an infant and young child get you most of your necessary vaccines, and then you might've had one or two "vaccine days" in school which got you the remaining ones
And since the healthcare system is a part of the government, it's easy for other government-run systems or other institutions to access your records
You might have to sign a permission request for some Independent organizations to check your vaccine records, but that information is available, as if you had a card you could hand over to prove it
I checked it out, in Florida, you need measles, hep b, and meningococcal vaccinations to go to college. Although with measles, if you have an immunity without a vaccine, you can get away with that.
Anno
Hep B was what I got in ... middle school, I think I don't remember what school I got it in, but I remember the procedure. I'm pretty sure measles and meningococcal are a part of the post-birth check ups pretty much any infant gets here
At least for vaccines I guess it's easy, but it's more complicated for some other stuff, apparently I should know, I'm getting rediagnosed with a chronic conditon in about half a month
Anno
Vaccines are generally what people care about the most, since they're what prevent you from being a contagion risk Other medical proof is much more niche in comparison
Anno
Homeward bound soon I don't think it's likely that the contractors have looked into my broken AC today but I was told that the thermostat was working earlier today Hopefully it's kept working throughout the day
!C0.PerkELE
>>970130 Hope it stays that way, tho news says "no", atleast in eurozone
Anno
Oh boo hoo, so you have to carry a card for like six months telling people you're vaccinated What a fucking ordeal
Yeah, like, you already carry around 2+ cards anyway. Most people carry 3. I carry, I dunno, five? Since I need my health insurance card and stuff too.
Like that's why I thought it wasn't real Cause there isn't a single person complaining about them that has a vaxx card Because they're complaining due to being a fucking unhinged lunatic, and such a card would mean they can't provide it
know, vaccination cards are still more a localized project Partially at least because at least in North America, healthcare is managed more on a provincial/state level than national Like even in Canada, while the federal government wants to push for them, they need to work with the provincial health systems to make it work And it just happens that most of the regions where they're rolling out, usually have a cultural majority of people who won't throw a shitfit over them

i dont know how araki is gonna wrap up part 8 with one more chapter
Anno
I've been seeing a lot of chatter about Jojolion and how the ending has been, at least in /a/'s standards, rough But I don't look at the details because I don't want the actual plot And /a/ can be pretty lousy at grading quality
It's been... sudden. The final boss kind of came out of nowhere and then when they were defeated, a bunch of weird things happened that I don't understand, and then the epilogue hit and it takes place like 200 years before the story. I'm open to the idea that Araki can stick the landing with the final chapter but it's been kind of rocky.

CHA is by far my highest stat. After all, I'm super lazy and most of what I do is make snide comments. I don't follow standards of professionalism, and I break rules all the time. I can get away with just about anything.
Well, my WIS is high too but my CHA is higher. Even competent people can't get away with anything.
I mean, I told a client that I would kill them before they could hurt me if they tried anything. That's not something you can get away with just by being competent.

I guess it's more appropriate to say the kinds of games I enjoy tend to not be suited to VR, if they even have it Skyrim in VR would be fun, but I dunno how much longer I*m gonna be playing that before I get bored
I'm really enjoying the shooters in VR. I don't like shooters so much without it, but VR makes them really fun. Probably because you actually have to line up your sights and stuff like that.

Re-watching of Rebuild 1 and 2 was nice Probably a good thing too I more or less remembered the way 1 went but I'd totally forgotten how 2.22 went Especially towards the end But that might also be that I watched 2.02 or whatever the previous release of it went And all the stuff I didn't recognize came in one of the later releases
I got through 1.01 and 2.22 last night the whole tetralogy is on Amazon Prime, so I put the two of them on while I was doing other stuff I might stick to watching on my PC for 3.0 and definitely 3.0+1.0
