Did you see any Bort license plates at the gift shop?
Flechettes are an option but yeah, its imperfect.
You can fit a choke and longer barrel with higher caliber pellets to improve the range.
I went the same route, it was significantly less expensive to get a nicer custom ring made by a local jewler I knew, to my spec/design then to get a commodity one from a store.
Welcome to The Jungle originally by Upton Sinclair, now a live experience brought to you by the SCOTUS' lack of ethics.
The answer is it depends on a lot of things, my answer comes from my current financial situation which is stable but not anything crazy.
If I have been working a lot and have money to use, I value my free time at ~2-3x my equivalent hourly wage. If the task is something I enjoy and I have time, I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else. If it is something messy, something I don't want to do, or something I am bad at or might screw up, that is a problem that money can solve.
It shouldn't be controversial to say this but humans deserve free time, we should have leisure and hobbies. You should not have to constantly fight/work to survive. We as a species are past that point and it is sad that society has not figured that out. Instead society chooses to keep the status quo where some people have to work 60-80hrs a week to exist.
No, I don't have the answer on how to change that.
I trust the Texas Legislature even less than the average Texas voter. This seems like a way to intensify the radicalness of the pool that goes to Washington but admittedly, I am not familiar enough with this kind of system to have an informed opinion on it.
Fun fact, when our trash Govt leaves, it is effectively litter removal. Its the one positive they do for the state, going away.
Can confirm, we had power during Harvey and the two major freezes, but lost power today. First time being without power for more than an hour in 7ish years of being in our current house.
55 seconds is life
I make decent money and live in Texas. My wife is currently pregnant and the state's policies on maternal care during pregnancy scares the shit out of me. In the case of a medical emergency money doesn't buy time.
The education policies being pushed by the state government are also terrible and private schools are not really any better in that regard. We could homeschool but I am not interested in that for my child.
The general rhetoric demonizing and taking the basic human rights of immigrants, LGBT, and other marginalized communities is also really hard to hear.
Several mass shootings as schools and public places with no interest in taking any kind of preventative actions is disgusting.
The property taxes have become a significant burden on our housing price with no sign of that changing anytime soon.
The state government is opernly corrupt and hostile to anyone who is not a Republican and quietly hostile to the Republicans who aren't high income, powerful, or political donors. Look at our power grid and the states actions after the freeze.
Money can't buy your way out if any of these. We stay because our families live nearby and we want our kids to grow up around them. If I could convince them to move with us, I would leave in a second despite living here for the last 30 years.
Is there a way to disable it on mobile? I have not seen anything yet.
