You'll say that until you get your electronics searched and interrogated on your political beliefs while coming back into your own country, or get stopped and threatened with violence for exercising your rights at an illegal checkpoint.

There is a piston assembly that allows it to cycle without pulling the can along with it.

Dead Air Wolfman, it's sized for subgun use so it's pretty big and heavy for a handgun, but I'm also too stubborn to remove the extension piece. In hindsight I might have gone with something rated for standard rifle rounds. I guess I can always get a flash can for that.

The company itself I wouldn't go with again. They shipped the silencer with some shitty political stuff.

I have a large ice chest and a heavily restricted diet due to medical issues and my food banks won't give me fresh produce unless I show proof of residency (they want you to have a refrigerator). The little daily snack pack with oreos and soda they give you otherwise isn't worth the trip.

I've had plenty of encounters with border patrol and typical blues and border patrol is exponentially less professional and more coercive on average.

Coincidentally, a lot of places I'll never contribute to economically.

Believed likely GSD/Belgian Mali. He's the best boy.

Context is irrelevant in my opinion, in the same way that hunger and survival are irrelevant to a dog expressing its prey drive on a plush toy. I also believe we have more agency now than ever; we live in a time when food is abundant, and taking a day or two off might leave you with a smaller paycheck rather than at risk of starving to death. When a job needed to be done thousands of years ago, it was often imperative to the survival of yourself or your community, and not necessarily a matter of choice. Those communities likely also had harsh means of enforcing labor contribution of the able-bodied, consequences exceeding the typical outcome of homelessness that we're familiar with today, which contributed to this evolution. Those who found work itself to be rewarding were much more likely to survive and reproduce, as opposed to those who only found reward in the outcome of work (food, now money).

Browser amnesia. I would have to login every time.

I tried a hand pump while camping and never used it again. The tannins in the water (decayed plant matter secretion) isn't captured by the filter and hit me pretty hard.

I think it's natural to want to want to work and be active. It is a behavior that has been reinforced by evolution since we were hunter/gatherers. But, there are certain tasks that have definitely frustrated me.

I must be getting old.
