A buddy of mine went on a multi day trip and asked me to watch the place and his pets.

He taught me some tarp camping stuff that I haven't had a chance to try..so I decided to make "camp" in his living room with a space heater fireplace and everything

listens to intl radio (radio.garden is amazing)

Doesn't Germany have some spicy high stakes elections of their own right now?

Nobody's gonna like to admit it but this is actually how it's going

We should just track all the boats! Easy!

No prob, added!

If you link the note I can add it

aka information silos

It's a real problem. And the scary part is that if somone told you that most of the info you see everyday was lacking, manipulated or flat out lies, would you believe them or double down?

Scopes are expensive. Good news is if you make a good buy you probably won't have to buy another for a long long time. Vortex is decent for the price.

Get a good scope mount too. The best scope can't perform if the mount isn't solid.

Bipod, sandbags, hunting tripod, something to keep the rifle nice and steady

After a while you'll want to try different types of ammo to see what the rifle shoots best.

But most importantly and most overlooked, all rifles are trash if YOU are trash at long range marksmanship. Read up. Put your rifle parts together correctly and learn as much as you can on and off the range

I think it's part of human nature to try to improve things. If we just said "be happy with what you have" we wouldn't have the very nice things we enjoy today.

But at the same time people are wary of change, and if something works well it is a risk to try to improve things. Older people have been around a long time, so nostalgia and routine is more engrained so they'll be more critical of change even if it works out in the long run.

But no matter how good it gets people can ALWAYS find something to bitch about and some are just insufferable

Deep state is (generally agreed to be) non-elected officials who have the ability to sway govt functions. They can stick around for decades which is a good thing until it's not. Their "power" is more about making things not happen.

The "resist" movement from the first admin could be seen as an example of deep state. If an elected person wants to do something that they have the power to do but the lower levels of govt disagree (ie it isn't in someone else's best interest) suddenly there will be things to stop it from happening or make it so slow, painful and costly that the elected would rather do something else instead.

Errors in paperwork, extra "random" inspections, key people in the process calling sick, insisting on following all procedure step by step no matter what etc.

BBC's "Yes Minister" really nails the concept
