Stay home. How about how they ask on your clearance papers if you're part of a plan to overthrow the government? XD

Fail. Over thought it.

Staying home is antisocial. Don't know how this one would affect 18X but it probably still would be a fail.

I'm so glad the TARPIS isn't a major factor for high school grads. XD

I think it should be. Or parts of it. Lots of kids coasted through it with the goal of living off welfare. And they have succeeded. Tests like that being mandatory, they'd have no chance of living off of other people's tax dollars.

It is mandatory for Army enlistment, just not really considered for high school grads. I forget why. I have no idea how applying for welfare works, however.

I didn't have to take it.
I think it had to do with my GPA however. My district went off of a different scoring system that would confuse other people, so they might have thought I didn't need to. But I have no idea why in reality. Could've just been RS. But they were always asking about my school grades so I think it was a factor.

Or maybe I'm getting the names confused. Cause now I'm thinking of the genetics test.

Standards change all the time, as I'm sure you know. Who knows, man.

And no, it's a personality test, not a genetics test.

There are a few tests with that name. And I've taken so many tests over the years that I've lost track of whats what.

Damn. X3

Stay home. o3o There's all you'll ever need like food and windows to the outdoors.

And yet the army would disagree.

What does the army want you to do? Spy on them and record their activities so they can be caught and punished?

Nah. It's just a question on one of their tests.

If you skip the question are you a non conformist? :3

Fascist army doesn't let you pass go and collect $200.

D: Monopoly hijinks in the army!? Time to get out the game board and train for boot camp.

Don't forget to go to albertsons and mcdonalds.

j-j our Albertsons stores have closed. McDonald's is a 'can don't for sure. :)

Super-size everything for maximum monopoly stickers. Throw the food away. XD

xD Therein lies the American problem that we value little plastic stickers over food. xD

Maybe thats a good thing. Too many americans eat fastfood over what they could make at home.

Ah can't make mah fries at home. The ones in the bag are iffy. *Pouts*

You can make fries at home. Those ones taste really good.

What magic fries are you referring to? o3o

Home made ones. Cut some potatoes and fry them yourself. In a pan. Just so they're crispy. But make sure they're cooked through. Then lightly salt them. That's it!. You can make a simple batter for them too if you want. That's good too. Or go to wingstop and get their fries. XD

Oh! Well, crap. I can do that! :D

Is the pan cast iron or can it be any material?

Whatever pan. It might take a few tries though.

Meh, experiments are the spice of life. We have a lot of whatever pans around, it's just a matter of controlling the heat enough not to get junk burnt on the nonstick coating lol.

You'll need to use oil. Sorry. Fries aren't fries without fat. I might try to make mine with bacon grease next time for added flavor. Will have to go on a long walk after that one though. XD

Holy jamole you are one tough hombre to down bacon grease fries. I would sprinkle bacon bits on the fries as well as a ranch/BBQ sort of southwest sauce for good measure. o3o

Havnt tried it yet. Some day tho...

Lol perhaps. Hopefully you are healthier than I am. ^^

But thats not the 'Merican way.

Being healthy is not American?

OF COURSE. https://img.memesuper.com/d2fe3fe32.....ir_548-390.png

I see no health problems with guns and fries just as long as you know which to eat. x)

But bullets are tasty...

But the lead... How does it digest? D:

Slowly and painfully I'd imagine. I've almost always used steel rounds because they're high velocity. Titanium is a good one too if you like ruining your plates.

Steel core bullets or entirely steel? Seems like it would eat your barrel pretty bad.

Full steel. But I get cheap runnout barrels for practice. I keep my high end stuff off my baby unless she's in a display case.

So... you re-barrel every 600 rounds or so?

400-600 yeah. Back when I used to make a stupid amount of money, I spent a lot to basically buy a bunch specifically for practice. Had to be 8in cause its the smallest my normal goes. They were cheap but ultimately, 20 custom barrels for a dieing caliber for 1500 was really good.

My biggest problem however, is the fact that due to my not having a licence, one of my family members holds onto it for me, and we just go out on his ranch and shoot stuff. But I don't actually have all my parts with me, and its been a long time since I did an inventory, so I'd have to see what I have left.

o3o Whoa! Yeah, that sounds like a good deal.

Watcha gonna do now when you run low on barrels.

Dying caliber.... is it a wildcat round that's sorta custom made?

.454 just isn't too popular. Its common enough but its already low popularity is dieing out. I've even thought of just upping to .50AE but that would mean I'd have to replace my kit. And that's a very expensive gift. Theres also the part where 50AE hurts to shoot.

Could always shoot .45 LC through it. I know what you mean about .454 being rare/un-popular. Probably has to be hand loaded now adays.

.50AE is sorta fun lol. Might go with hot loaded 45-70 revolver instead?

Don't like revolvers. Bleed is bad. And yes, all the ammo I have is hand pressed. But I buy the mats so it cuts down on the cost. I could get over the counter stuff if I looked hard enough, but it's just as pricy and I like my brass stuffed as high as it can be with powder. Once again, high velocity is my thing.

D: Sacrilege! Take that back! :V

Wait, what? What mats do you need? Too many hot loads will reduce the service life of your weapon with the increased stress on the frame, right?

No. I wont. #Sorrynotsorry. #Bleedisbad

Depends on what bullets I want my buddy to make me. I just get what he needs and he does the rest. My break apart bullet needs elmer's glue. XD Its basicly a 3d puzzle bullet that breaks apart when it leaves the barrel, but the bullet is designed to counter spin so it doesn't do what shotguns do with a rifled barrel. Plus the cone is tiny. 150m and 20/23 pieces hit the target. If I'm using a long barrel. The glue melts when the powder burns and the velocity causes a break appart. Combine that with a holo point and the force makes all the little bits move around more. Maximum evil for maximum damage. Then there's MT rounds... We only made those, using them would be evil.

Oh awesome! 3D puzzle piece bullets seem like something The Riddler would make lol, but the results are real world. :)

Sounds like you two are good scientists. :3

MT as in....Thermite or something?

Maximum Trauma. It's a category of very inhumane ammunition such as toxin capsule rounds. We made some very crazy rounds to see if we could make an entrance wound as big as an exit wound. I've never seen gel so deformed. We've agreed to not make those.

D: Holy Crap

Yeah. And to think that there are some that are legal... <.<
I have my hatred of people, but if I find myself in another life or death scenario, I'd chose to at least not be cruel.

180 grn ballistic silvertip bullet performs pretty strongly like what you described at rifle velocities. Entry wound permanent cavity like a baseball.... Exit wound permanent cavity like a softball over the space of about 10 inches. It was probably a lucky strike, but it looked super nasty. Custom loads can do some interesting stuff.

I guess they are legal as a matter of people wishing to inflict maximum pain on each other before death?

I can't see someone suffering long who had a baseball sized hole through their organs unless it was a gut or liver shot.

But silver tips don't explode. API will definitely cause damage for sure, but lithium will literally explode in your body.

They make 180grn silver tips? Seems really small for AP.

The fragmentation leaves what looks like jellied meat. Ya may not explode, but they will be lifting your enemy off the sidewalk with a scrub brush and some dish soap instead of a stretcher.

It's one of the larger offerings in .30 Cal bullets I think. It's more AD (anti-deer) than AP, but I guess it works on all living meat with a thinner hide.

That lithium sounds nasty. I guess it reacts with the water in the body?

Ah yes. That sounds familiar actually.

.30 Like a full power rifle or intermediate?

Good guess. Yes it does. Its volatile enough to react with gel too. Made a 9mm do the work of a .50AE. So naturally we tried that one too. .50AE lithium will turn the curbs into no parking zones for sure.

This has gotten really morbid... I don't mind morbid but it's odd talking about it with you.

*eyes sparkle* Is there any other cartridge in Texas except for full power?
In this case it was a .308 casing with a custom load of powder and pretty much factory similar bullet. Probably pushed the 180 grn at STD velocity as we don't like hot loads on our thin barrels.

Anyhoo yah, it's gotten rather dark. We could always talk about something more... agreeable?

Like getting better barrels maybe? Hot loads are best loads.

Don't take out of context... <///<

*0* Oh noo! I see what you mean! xD

Hmmmm..... Idk where I would even go to get a new barrel. Ed Shilen?

Try amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Personalized.....Whiskey+barrel

Whoa! That's pretty dang awesome! I have seen those in houses, but it always looked like non-functional decoration. o3o

Also, I understood what you meant, but it's more fun to play dumb. ^^

I know you knew. That's why I sent you an amazon link for a whisky barrel. XD

Did you know I... just so happen to have a half bottle of Tennessee whiskey that would go perfect with that barrel? o3o

Lol no. How would I know that?

You might have those powers. Heck, I dunno. xD

I think this is my super power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tugO4azfHcI

You have sad hoses? That would be kind of interesting.

I am sad hoses.

My friends and I were talking about 'the worst superpower ever' We decided that the ability to teleport wherever, but never where you want, and not always when you want.

i.e. Walking to your car from the store and then suddenly being on the lip of an nearly active volcano, and then wishing to be anywhere 'but here', and being teleported 40m away. You will eventually get home, but it'd be the most annoying superpower of all time.

That would be pretty awful. I can imagine being in highschool and accidentally teleporting in on something horrendously awkward.

What about the superpower to have eternally moist armpits no matter how much deoderant you apply? xD

Oh. Wow. That sounds worse now that I think about it. You'd have to wash your bedding daily.

xD Yeah. That and you would go through shirts like crazy. Armpit stains would be a normal thing

Sexy...

D:

It was sarcasm. I swear. :I

What a coincidence, I swear too!

Also, yeah I caught your sarcasm but decided to be a butt and ignore it lol.

Swearing is caring!

Good. ಠ_ಠ

So is cutting people off in traffic, but no one seems to get it. D: I do my best.

è3é Yeaaaaah.

Do you happen to wear long socks? Just a random question.

Other drivers exist for the sole purpose of being inconvenienced by my *needs.

... Yes.

Lol! You sound like a BMW driver from Houston. Most of them drive like that. xD

So if you are missing a pair of socks, I might have borrowed one. o3o

No. I like toyotas because they can't die. BMWs are poorly made and very dangerous.

I knew my good boot socks were missing. Those were 11 bucks! So comfy tho.

juj Could it be that we drive the same car brand? *claps for joy*

Booottt socksssss. I have a few of those if you need extra. I would send the ones in the best condition. I have boots for work, so the socks wear down kinda fast. Some are Gold Toe socks, so they are super comfy.

1998 Rav 4 3 door moddel. Small enough to pick up and move with a friend if you have to.

Mine are for deployments. Last really long. You should see about getting those, I've been looking for them for a while now. When I find the right ones I'll point you in the right direction.

Ah, awesome! I remember that model. It's really swoopy. I have a .... 2011 Camry. It hauls a lot and the back seats fold in toward the front seat so it fits a lot in it.

Oh! Yes, with the army. I imagine my local military command post surplus store may have some. They sound like miracle socks. :3 I would appreciate the direction as my Gold Toe socks are slowly wearing thin. The do still feel like pillows for the feet though compared to the old everyday socks.

Camrys are so nice. If I had to have a sedan that just might be the one. Tho the lexas models are pretty sweet too...

They're nice and thick so they're even cushiony when they get worn down. Very soft too. Almost velvety smooth. Unlike hairy grabby fruit of the loom socks.

:3 Yeah. I think mine started using oil at 30k miles, but even then it's a great car.

o3o What is this magic!? I wonder how they hold together so well? Velvety smooth sounds blissful.

Yes, you can get an oil eater camry. I recommend oil stabilizer and 5 gallons of shell 91. The gas will clean out your motor and the stabilizer will double the oil life and keep it from overheating and it even helps with cleaning oil too.

They are. I think these are the ones. https://www.thorlo.com/socks/mcb/404

Shell 91.... Hadn't ever heard of it, but I bet Amazon has some! Thanks for the recommendation. o3o The motor runs okay for 32k original miles. I tried to overheat this thing once, buy the temperature never climbs above midrange. Oil stabilizer is a short term thing I will look into. My oil is synthetic and lasts 10k miles, so idk how much longer it could stick around. I am used to conventional oil with 3k between oil changes.

I bookmarked the socks! Dear Santa..... I need your help foo o3o

Shell 91 is gasoline. As in Shell. 91 is their premium fuel. XD Dig under the couch and scrounge up 15 bucks for a few gallons of that and it'll clean out your motor and make it run smoothly. Oil stabilizer can double your oil life. Tripple if your car sips oil. Its best used on new oil of course but it can do a lot for old too.

Lol.

Oh! I was told anything in the Camry's 4 cylinder beyond 87 octane could be hazardous to the engine. Might put a gallon or two in the 15 gallon tank though just to try it out. I'm about 3k away from an oil change, so the next time I'm under the car I'll remember to try oil stabilizer. I think the oil will look less burnt?

Yeah no. Camry motors are not go cart motors. Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. I was told the same thing once and now it's all I use. Its probably the only reason my car still runs in the first place.

I'm close to an oil change myself. I'll have to look. It'll probably darken still but it adds a bunch of binders and regulating chemicals to help with the burning yes.

Lol! I see. It was hard to understand why the low octane gas was all it could handle. I was thinking, is it built cheaply?

Binders and regulating chemicals. It's High School all over again! :U
See what I did there? *wriggles eyebrows*

I suppose adding a turbo should help with the burning too as long as I re-map the injectors.

Nah. The octane just gives it more oxigen so it burns cleanly and powerfully.

Nope. Didn't take chemistry.

All I know about turbos is that the Padin had 4 and that the Hercules motor is so big it has jet turbos. Installing them is a world I'm not in yet.

Ah. But the cleaner the burn the hotter it gets right?

j-j Chu make me sad lol. You'd think with all the drugs in Cali they'd make chemistry mandatory so that at least people won't die from lack of knowing how to prepare the stuff.

D: Holy smokes. I heard of a quad turbo Audi, but you'd think that's too much compression. Jet turbos as in jet turbines? Like an Auxiliary Power Unit was needed to run the Hercules engine?

I'm not sure after that. Yes?

Nope. We have a thread somewhere about californian education.

Nope. Its that big. It can tow tanks. Plural.

O.O I can't tell whether to be amazed or terrified about any of the above

Let the wonder fill you, let your fear take over. Be amazed and terrified. The best of both worlds! :D

:D: horrified happy emoji here we come! It's like college all over again!

YAY!
