In this scene a white man is waiting on a fence and then two guys in a low rider who are part of a gang come and ask him what he is doing there and he says he is in California for holiday or business and they threaten him with a gun and take his money and phone. Then he goes to a leader of a black gang and asks if they were his...
I got some .22 to play with. It’s wildly underpowered, which is the point I guess. Coming out a pistol, it spreads really fast (see video above). I doubt it would seriously wound a rat at 10’. After some very informal testing, I doubt it would go through 2 layers of sheetrock, and maybe not one. (Depends largely on barrel length.)
Also, anything you would shoot these out of is going to have a rifled barrel. Makes shot (pellets) come out in a pinwheel. I have a 410-gauge derringer I’d dare you to shoot me with from 15’. LOL, I’ve never got a single pellet on a 3’x3’ target at 8’, it’s really that crazy bad. Maybe if there was a snake right at your foot or something? 🤷🏻♂️
And now I see they have .45 rat shot. Thanks OP. I really didn’t need this rabbit hole tonight.
EDIT: Damnit OP. $2 each before shipping, so probably $4 each. Too rich for my blood. Why did you start me on this?!
I say “gracias” all the time. But now I’m wondering…
Went to the local Mexican joint, waiter started talking to my Filipina wife in Spanish. She gamely answered back with a word or two, was obviously confused.
Now I’m scared that people will think I’m mistaking them for Mexican when I toss out a word or two.
Just to fuck with my wife; She was talking to a friend in Tagalog when I walked in the kitchen.
Jesus. Got my house 7-years ago on a Habitat for Humanity mortgage, for which you pay cost. ~85K? Also, no interest on the loan. Also, no property tax.
3-bed/2-bath/80’x200’ lot/1,140sq. ft. living space/$550mo.
Call your local Habitat chapter, go to the next meeting and learn. Keep going with the program if you can. Took my ex-wife and I 14-months, start to finish.
I can’t tell you the qualifications, they change and are different from one area to the next. I can give you some basic answers, at least I’ll try.
blame the immigrants for pursuing rational self-interest as if it were a moral failing, instilling hatred in part of the working class toward other working class people to garner political support for representatives who pay lip service to anti-immigration policy
^ Tip of the spear right there. Gets votes!
But let’s talk real talk. Americans want slaves. I can provide 100 anecdotes, but they all come to the same observation, we want cheap labor. Immigrants provide it and we can’t do without it.
And it’s not just the “evil capitalists”. If a Mexican dude tells me his gang will refloor my living room for $5/hr. per man, I’m all in because I can’t afford to pay “real” labor prices. Either they make some money, or no one gets paid and my carpet is rotting.
OK, one anecdote. My wife is Filipina, not a US citizen. Her education in early childhood education is stunning. I’ve watched countless videos of her private school back home. And I’m screaming, “FFS! Why are we not teaching our children like this?! Why are our teachers not trained like this?!”
She had to quit her job teaching because the airport hotel pays far more. Philippinos are in demand because everyone knows they work hard, don’t bitch and are grateful for what they get. LOL, she was hired on the spot, just for walking in the door and asking.
Meanwhile, I make $80K for sitting and sleeping my ass off working for a software dev, from home.
Don’t know where I’m going with this. Guess when we Americans say we’re a “nation of immigrants”, we really mean, “a nation of immigrants who started as slaves and worked their way up the food chain over a generation or two”.
We just played the anti-immigrant game in Florida. Harsh legislation passed, they ran away, and fuck me, crops are rotting in the fields.
There were a couple of business owners brave enough to say it out loud on video. “Well, yeah, we wanted this legislation, but just to kinda scare 'em. We didn’t think we’d actually lose our workers! Maybe we gotta rethink this whole thing.”
Props to those few self-aware SeaWolves. Some are getting it.
If you want slave labor, you gotta put up with slaves living on the plantation.
My first wife didn’t make her son eat anything he didn’t want, but he had to try it, once. Worked out.
It was sometime around then that I learned, and realized, that kids have different taste buds. They make Oscar Meyer wieners bland on purpose.
My kids? Scrawny little fucks won’t eat anything. At all. I don’t know how they function. It’s like hugging tiny skeletons. But, that was me as a little kid. All the adults frustrated as hell with me.
I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I’m tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative...
There’s a place on the Blackwater River I have marked. So far I’ve traced 7 waterfalls trekking uphill from the water side. But I can hear more in the distance!
