I make my own black powder for shooting.

2 KNO3 + S + 3 C

Stump remover, sulfur, charcoal. Few bucks to make a kilo.

Yes, they were stand-ins for a fictional Eastern European/Russian country.

You would love a director named Tarantino. Guy named Jackson often stars in his films. Check him out!

Was that an honest question or rhetorical? :)

Again, with TWO meanings.

And that can be taken TWO different ways!

ISMO does this with "shit".

So thankful English is my first language. What a damned nightmare of a lexicon.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -James D. Nicoll

LOL WUT!? Never been anywhere that redneck and I live in the panhandle. Wonders never cease.

Reading how Rocky eats in Project Hail Mary got me thinking on that! I wonder if aliens would find our eating disgusting or if it's the most common way to get energy. Pretty much every life form on Earth chews food with their face then shoves it down.

You now know how to instantly relieve a leg cramp, right?

Mine does, redneck town, but it's all hunting style rifles and shotguns, nothing tacticool. I won't buy from big corpo, too big a pain. I just use guns.com for the most part.

What?! I've lived in gun happy states almost my whole life and have never seen guns sold in grocery stores. Walmart might be considered weird, but everywhere else is a sports store and a dedicated gun shop.

It can be habit forming. Hope this changes someone's life, it did mine.

Same! Got a wicked pair of boots and a new vest from the thrift yesterday. Cut my hair in the mirror, got decked out and my wife's eye popped. Even my 12-yo was looking at me, uh, funny. Don't think she knew daddy could dress like that! (She lives with her mom far away. Mostly sees me dressed up in "hiking with a shotgun" chic, not "metrosexual" chic.)

Anyway, I dress up for silly things just because it makes me feel good. Hell, I'll use any excuse to wear one of my tuxes.

Off to see Superman in that same outfit!

If she was actually that pretty, I'd get him marrying her.

Holy shit! Not only is that real, I now know what was in my garden last month!

Y'all drink Thames water? That's frightening.

Taxing medicine and food is fucking obscene. At least Florida gets that much right.

They cost $2,000 (in 2025 $) when they released in 1982. Sounds like a deal to me!

Well, it's true. The nicer you look the easier life is. Having said that, I've known very few people who were maxed out. Just about every one of us could be more attractive.

My wife is close, but she could lose her fashion-statement lower braces. (Apparently it's a Filipino thing. 🤷🏻) I'm afraid to say anything. Think I should?
