I have a vague memory of some Van Damme film from the 90s where he starts adding stuff to his pistol until it looks not quite as bad as the image above then he uses it as a sniper rifle or something. I'm probably misremembering since the 90s were like 10 years ago by now.

Glocks don't have a traditional safety, they have what they call the safe action system or whatever. The only part you can see is the little outtie on the trigger.

Congrats! Goodbye to your check, ammo prices are crazy. I have a local range that I like that's less than 5 minutes away but I haven't been in a while because of the cost of ammo

The All Things Political Topic - We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
Not at all the point but I find it very interesting that they still see themselves as moderate or independent when they'll go along with pretty much anything their party does. As to the bigger picture, is there even anything that we can do? I mean, I'm not sure a pro-choice Republican makes out of the primaries in a red state despite Republicans generally being for some access to abortion and we don't vote directly on issues above the state level.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Morbius and Vemon 2: The Venoming. Morbius was as bad or worse as I've heard and I dunno if boring is the right word but I just could be bothered. Let There Be Carnage was also not a good movie but it was fun and I really enjoyed it. Just try not to think about it too much because it's almost as stupid as Morbius. Almost.

The New Cinema and Movie Thread
The AvP movies are my favorite of the Alien movies but my least favorite of the Predator movies.. though let me qualify that by saying I haven't seen them all, Alien or Predator.

Wife has the vid again. I think she caught it travelling to Estonia on Sunday because I'm still negative.

Feedback on Estonia
We got very little snow recently and the temps haven't been as cold either but after living in both NY and CO, I much prefer the dry cold to the wet cold.

Feedback on Estonia
Tallinn is nice, I've been a few times. I thought about moving a long time ago but it's too cold during the cold months

But it's not lying if you don't admit that you lied!

Ukraine Conflict - "History never looks like history when you are living through it."
In-laws in Russia are definitely feeling the pain. One of my wife's cousins wants to flee the country because of poor economic prospects, not wanting to raise his kids in such a hateful environment, and being afraid of being locked up for not being on board with the war.

Same We've had fireworks going off in our neighborhood all week long and probably for a few days more despite the fact that they're illegal. I really hate these fireworks because they drive my dogs crazy, keep us up at night, and make my PTSD itch. Firework shows don't bother me at all because I know to expect it but the random pops and booms going off in random directions gets to me more often than I'd like to admit.

Food Thread - Obsidian Gormand's Edition
Grilled wings, corn, sausage, and peppers. Followed that up with a watermelon, not grilled. For my wings I've started using Nando's because the citrus in it really elevates the flavor over most hot sauces.

That's not exactly true. In many places work is not voluntary and they can be punished for not working. It's part of what the prisoner strikes were about a few years back. I was mainly speaking historically though.

That's a wide brush to paint with but okay It's an important loophole because what do you think came next after they said no more chattel slavery but you can use prisoners as slaves

No, prisoners can still be slaves. We only limited it.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Pilot Week
Dr Strangé - The weirdest episode of Grey's Anatomy that I've ever seen. I laughed at the Raimi-ness of it but it was not good but I didn't mind it, other than the stupidity of it all. Wife hated it and actually thought it was scary.
