It really is good work. I'm from the year 2029 and I'd like to offer this two cent nickel. It has been up a hobos dumper.

Hah! Nice.

Shooting = happiness.

Go have a range day this coming month, goats.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 12:46:29 ago (+2/-0)

For sure. I desperately need an all-day session. It's been way too long.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:50:47 ago (+2/-0)

Same here. It's been way too long.

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:56:18 ago (+1/-0)

Last range day I had cost $500.
Wasn't even a month ago.
Wish I could afford to go more often.

The price of ammo now is insane. By design of course. Blow through a mag and you're like "Welp, there's a week's groceries".

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 14:12:32 ago (+2/-0)

Reload, reload, reload. A decent starter kit is like $250 and you'll make that back really fast, especially if you're shooting big stuff. I started out with .44 Magnum and reloading cut the cost of shooting down to about 1/4 of retail. Maybe now it's not quite as good, but you should easily save 1/2 your money. And it's fun!

I picked up the Lee Classic Turret kit. Not the best, but it's worked flawlessly for years now. No complaints.

Always wanted to but a new hobby right now is the last thing I need.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 14:55:49 ago (+1/-0)

I get that. I do. I look around the garage I'm sitting in right now and wonder what in Hell I was ever thinking taking up so many 'hobbies'.

But here's the thing! --> It's not a NEW hobby! It's like an adjunct-hobby. Or a hobby-enhancement. AND it saves money. So in one very important way it's a hobby REDUCTION.

And AND in the case of societal collapse, you would then have a way to make new friends and trade for resources.

Reloading is like a win win win win. Just saying.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 27, 2024 01:57:12 ago (+1/-0)

I've had a few of those days myself. It's always a surprise when at the end of the day you tally up the cost. Learn to reload. I taught myself the skill some 30 years ago now and it's served me well. And if you know it and you still spent $500, well then good for you. That's truly a good day.

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 0 points 1 weekApr 27, 2024 17:46:41 ago (+0/-0)

I knew what it would cost, but I had made changes to several of my firearms and I needed some time with them.
Reloading is one more thing on a never-ending list of to-do's.
It is important, no question, but I'm just not able to take on more right now.
Eventually I'll have no choice.

I got out to the wilderness a couple of weeks ago (that land I'm planning on developing in Nevada) and had planned on doing a bunch of shooting. But the guys I went with just ... flaked on the shooting part. So I figure I'll just go myself. I'll bring a whole shitload of guns and make sure they all work correctly. And pistols too. And maybe I'll bring the dog.

shoot commies

Why is this a dead end? Seems to me that this qualifies as "shoot stuff" and "be happy".

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 3 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 12:19:31 ago (+3/-0)

It was late and I was tired. This diagram was actually surprisingly complicated to get set up correctly. Initially I was thinking I didn't have room for anything further, but with a fresh look I see I could expand that. Thanks for calling it out.

Shooting commies certainly does bring happiness.

[ - ] Nosferatjew 3 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 12:37:55 ago (+3/-0)

What software did you use for this?

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 5 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 12:45:36 ago (+5/-0)

It's an online tool called SankeyMATIC.

[ - ] VitaminSieg 3 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:10:37 ago (+3/-0)

This is awesome

Thanks!

"Be a machinist, get put on government list."

You should PM Rotteaux and see how he likes it before you pursue that route.

Heh. Maybe I will.

nerds are glorious sometimes.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 17:24:43 ago (+1/-0)

I'll take that as a compliment, thank you. Ya I guess I'm a nerd. But I do a bunch of cool stuff too.

[ - ] kammmmak 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 14:05:15 ago (+2/-0)

Dude! Sweet! This is a great basis plan for many and most of us.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 14:13:23 ago (+1/-0)

Oh cool! I just sat and thought about the probability of things which would cause me to take action. I'd love more suggestions.

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:53:54 ago (+2/-0)

How do you make this?
I want one.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 2 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:55:14 ago (+2/-0)

It's an online tool called SankeyMATIC. Pretty easy to get the hang of.

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 13:56:41 ago (+1/-0)

Thanks.

'Move to Tenn - reconnect with long lost cousin - build extended family - live happy and relaxed'. Umm, define happy and relaxed without derivatives of bat shit crazy, dysgenic tardy ass offspring, dumb as rocks or permanent alcohol stupor induced drunken haze. lmao.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 23:01:15 ago (+1/-0)

No seriously. We learned, after my dear Aunt passed away in 2018 (Mom's sister), that my dear sweet Aunt had a son! Sadly she gave him up for adoption way back in like 1968 or whatever. We learned it because the guy found out through the original adopting doctor's office (who were also my Mom's OBGYN) who she was. Ethics and laws aside, the cat was out of the bag and he wrote to her. We're guessing she was terribly ashamed and she never answered him. Well, being the upstanding guy I am, I took it upon myself to contact him. And he's really cool! He had a different life than I did (or he would have had he grown up around here), but he's built a beautiful family and a good life and he's actually a lot like me.

So, ya. Tennessee has challenges with crazy and defective people, but I can say with certainty that my long lost cousin isn't one of them. I'd totally like to connect with him more. And if we moved out there, I expect we'd be very happy and relaxed compared to how we currently live.

Ok, you got me then man, i completely misread that. Lol.
Anyways, congrats well done.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 27, 2024 01:59:51 ago (+1/-0)

Thank you. I do appreciate that.

TIL Data Wrangler is a career.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 21:22:01 ago (+0/-0)

Goes by a lot of names. 'Data Architect' 'Analytics Architect' 'Data Engineer' Lots of baloney words to describe what I do. Basically it's mashing together and presenting tons of data in creative useful ways. Makes pretty good money for the effort required.

[ - ] Clubberlang 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 21:56:33 ago (+1/-0)

Mashing, baloney, wrangler...

Sounds.....uhhhh....ummmmm...........job.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 22:08:34 ago (+0/-0)

Heh ya. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a real job.

[ - ] iSnark 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 20:37:13 ago (+1/-0)

I miss the old days when disgruntled reclusive old men did this with pushpin & and yarn on entire walls... ;-)

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 21:23:08 ago (+1/-0)

That would actually be really cool. If I had the wall space I might entertain that idea. Would be extra cool to use the yarn to make the lines different thicknesses. But ya. I get what you're saying.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 17:30:35 ago (+1/-0)

Just go with the flow, eh?

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 18:22:52 ago (+0/-0)

Yes and no. It was really an exercise in analyzing possibilities and assigning probabilities and then putting it in a visual format.

[ - ] o0shad0o 1 point 1 weekApr 26, 2024 15:22:21 ago (+1/-0)

Well fuck. I ran to the desert.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 17:22:38 ago (+0/-0)

Ordinarily I think this would be a good choice. I love the desert. However, we're talking ALIENS here. So it seems like the desert might not be the best place to find refuge. Maybe you know something I don't know.

yo this is gold!

Dude thanks. Really. Your comment means a lot. Hope your day has been a good one.

Happiness is not a destination, its the journey.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 17:24:12 ago (+0/-0)

I've been around for a good number of years now and I have to partially disagree with you on this. You can for sure have a good journey and a shitty destination and that can make a really big difference. My journey has been pretty rough and I'm trying to find a good destination so I can finally relax and be happy.

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 -1 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 18:54:06 ago (+0/-1)

With that attitude, you will never achieve happiness. Enjoy putting it off till your dead.

[ - ] SocksOnCats [op] 0 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 21:24:12 ago (+0/-0)

Everyone sees life differently based on different origins and experiences. You should be more tolerant of other views. Sounds a bit like you're unhappy unless others agree with you.

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 -1 points 1 weekApr 26, 2024 22:15:32 ago (+0/-1)

Tolerance is for faggots. Your opinion means shit to me.
