[00:00:05] <Runaway1956> In Boston?
[00:00:41] <Ethanol-fueled> It was like that episode of Futurama where everybody meets their evil twin. There is a scene where Farnsworth and his evil twin keep turning a bolt in complementary opposite directions, before one of them says, "Well, that was pointless!"
[00:01:15] <Runaway1956> No, that was Oliver North, not Farnsworth.
[00:01:23] <Ethanol-fueled> Except if it were real-live the Jews would be controlling both Farnsworths. Also, the Farnsworths were America's military, in that case.

[00:02:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Runaway, if I did, I'm sure they would be prickly and incompetent.
[00:03:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Not to mention traitors.
[00:03:04] <Runaway1956> First one I met was sweet and cuddly.
[00:03:41] <Ethanol-fueled> First one I met had a dick under her skirt.
[00:03:48] <Ethanol-fueled> And raised Baptist.
[00:04:07] <Runaway1956> This one was a good Catholic girl . . .
[00:04:09] <Ethanol-fueled> AN upbringing like that would explain a lot about why they fuck up everything they touch.
[00:04:50] <Ethanol-fueled> The brainwashing with those types happens decades before they consider a career in intelligence.

[10:25:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> c0lo, gun safety training should be part of the base middle school curriculum
[10:26:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> lola++
[10:26:04] <Bender> karma - lola: 1
[10:26:29] <c0lo> TMB, yes, I hear it already is, from primary schools even.
[10:30:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> unfortunately, no. i owned a shotgun and hunted in grade school. i had a bb gun at 6. and since i was a kid it's become illegal for kids to own guns or buy ammo.
[10:30:41] <c0lo> Oh, come on, TMB.
[10:30:45] <c0lo> =w Active shooter training
[10:30:46] <systemd> Active shooter training (sometimes termed active shooter response training or active shooter preparation) addresses the threat of an active shooter by - https://en.wikipedia.org
[10:30:50] <c0lo> (grin)
[10:31:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> teach someone responsibility young and it tends to serve them well through the stupid teenage years.
[10:32:15] <c0lo> Oooopsie, what? Ah, those ruskies https://www.axios.com
[10:32:16] <systemd> ^ 03Argentina's president tests positive for COVID after vaccination
[10:32:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> fer instance, i was raised with a gun in hand and my friend out in SC never got to touch one, so of course i'm the one who ends up with a scar on my arm that new years eve
[10:34:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm just glad he grabbed the defective shell that all the pellets had fallen out of, i only got high-speed plastic to the arm and powder burns when i stepped out of the shitter instead of dead.
[10:36:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i assume he thought it wasn't a real shell since he could see the lack of pellets in it and from the "oh shit oh shit oh shit" after it went off
[10:37:12] <c0lo> TMB, what better responsibility lesson than chopping down an osage orange, make a bow to shoot squirrels and getting your arm blackened from the string?

[10:37:31] <systemd> https://youtube.com - Why The Bow String Hits Your Arm | Bowhunt 101 (03:46; 10,105 views; 👍224 👎1)
[10:37:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, yeah, i'm absolutely in favor of teaching motherfuckers basic gun safety even if they never touch a gun. i've got reason to be.
[10:39:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, while i like osage orange, i don't particularly care for hunting, specially with a bow, anymore. i got old n lazy n it's a whole lot of work, unlike fishing which often involves naps.
[10:39:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> naps++
[10:39:25] <Bender> karma - naps: 126
[10:40:14] <c0lo> TMB, context: 'teach someone responsibility young'
[10:40:25] <c0lo> BB guns are for wimps.
[10:41:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> c0lo, six-year-olds are wimps
[10:42:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> airsoft, now those are fun for any age. specially for home defense.
[10:42:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can get a full auto one and spray the complete hell out of someone who needs it. and it's going to hurt like nine kinds of hell. and it's not going to kill anyone.
[10:43:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i say "you" but they banned em down there last year.
[10:43:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> so plural, general you not plural, specific you
[10:47:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> like with ours, each individual plastic pellet feels about like a bee sting, maybe a wasp. and it fires around ten per second.
[10:47:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> ruin someone's entire day in half a dozen seconds and not go to jail for it.
[10:50:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, just as a point of reference above, i'm very much not in favor of killing off all the bugs. fish eat bugs.
[10:51:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i make mead out of honey from the bees, even if the ones in the church wall had to get their asses killed to death.
[10:51:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> there are plenty of good places for bees to be bees but where i live does not be one of them.
[10:52:27] <c0lo> "ruin someone's entire day in half a dozen seconds" do it with a single paint ball.
[10:53:22] <c0lo> "even if the ones in the church wall had to get their asses killed to death." Booo!
[10:54:00] <c0lo> Should've called an apiarist - half a day to get all relocated.
[10:55:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> did. it was the second batch that moved in the next spring that got the killing to death.
[10:56:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> followed by tearing the whole bloody wall off, scrubbing everything with bleach water, and putting the wall panels back up but leaving a temporary hole for mothballs

[10:57:23] <c0lo> I reckon you'd arrange for a new hive every quarter.
[10:57:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> apparently new colonies like saving some work and reusing empty hives
[10:58:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell, i wouldn't mind a hive or two in them little boxy bee hives. i object to them coming in the house though.

[11:02:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> watching it at the moment. so far she's failed to mention that relocating them is pointless if you can't get the queen as well.
[11:03:08] <c0lo> She'll get to the queen alright.
[11:03:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. she did but didn't mention the importance.
[11:04:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> hive dies without a queen and the queen will either die without a hive or build a new one right where you got rid of the old one if she has enough workers left.
