Timmah!

Lol, it's a 'meat tenderizer'.

Hmm... took less than 15 minutes for the background check to clear when I stopped by Academy Sports to buy it. They were the only place in a ~50 mile radius to have one. Been stopping by every other day for the better part of 3 weeks & expected the same "Check back in a couple days" answer. This time he took 3 steps to his left, picked it up from amongst 3 boxes leaning against the wall by their storage room door & set it on the counter. Said they just got it in this morning. Paid $379 + tax. I noticed online that they were selling over a short period last November for $279. 35% markup in 5 months seems kinda steep, but I've seen 'em going for $450 in other places when you can find one. Kinda surprising considering they've been out for over 3 years now. Anyway, I worked 97 hours last week, so I decided to reward myself. ?

Finally getting around to building my buddies some vertical space to claim as their own. I'm thinking about 10-15 shelves that will allow them to move around the apartment from above-ground. Gonna put a couple bedding boxes in some corners. I was going to buy some, but the price is downright ridiculous. Like ~$400 for maybe ~$75 dollars worth of materials. Just went to Lowes & Home Depot, bought some particle board for about $40, had them cut it to size; then bought a roll of remnant carpet for ~$10 with which to cover it. The brackets are only a couple bucks a piece & support 80 pounds.

Lol, you've got a good memory. Currently in-between homes as I get my new place built; living for a year in an apartment building.

Before I posted, I knew someone would say something about using it in-game. =D No real need for it where I currently live: In an apartment building with video security, magnetic locks that read the time of, & trigger video recording of anyone entering the building. From what I've heard, there's also 5 Leo's living here. I know for a fact at least one does, as he has a reserved spot in front of the building with a sign saying you'll get towed if you park there. After I get my home built & move; then it will feel more of a necessity. Plus I will get to test fire it from my back yard. =D

Happy birthday, buddy.

There is no apostrophe in a simple plural.

See what I did there?

Here's one: Maybe instead of Covid19 virus... it was Corvid19... blahahahha..haha..ha....ha.

The title momentarily upset me, until I saw that it was in "jokes" forum. BTW, those aren't crows in the picture. Too small.

There's jerks in real-life... there's jerks on gaming servers... Just tell 'em to fuck off... ignore them.... doesn't mean you need to take your ball & go home. The way I see it: If you value the friendships you've made over the course of a decade, you wouldn't let some random handful of knuckleheads send you packin'. Put on your big-boy pants & try a different server.

It's called the Magnetosphere.

=(

Lol. Here is a study done of viruses found in Apes & monkeys hunted for bushmeat in Africa: it is highly concerning, considering the sheer number of viruses circulating in the ape & monkey populations in Africa. How humans acquired the ape precursors of HIV-1 groups M, N, O, and P is not known; however, based on the biology of these viruses, transmission must have occurred through cutaneous or mucous membrane exposure to infected ape blood and/or body fluids. Such exposures occur most commonly in the context of bushmeat hunting (Peeters et al. 2002). Whatever the circumstances, it seems clear that human–ape encounters in west central Africa have resulted in four independent cross-species transmission events. Molecular clock analyses have dated the onset of the group M and O epidemics to the beginning of the twentieth century..." Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3234451/ That means the Aids virus was transmitted to humans as far back as the early 1900's. Makes you wonder what other nasty viruses have already made the leap to people & are currently circulating in the populations in those areas if HIV had circulated for 70 years over there before becoming a pandemic.

Welcome Twinkiestorm!

Omg, how could I have forgotten: ...Nuh-uuuhhhh!!

=D

....or HIV/Aids.

If certain cultures would quit draggin' shit outta the jungle & trying to eat it, the last 3 epidemics wouldn't have happened... or Ebola. for that matter.

You sayin' you run-over people every day?
