Probably the collapse, at this rate.

The 180's drum mag can carry about 180 rounds of .22lr, so if you held the trigger down you'd dump the mag in around 5 seconds.

Composer here, I could grab quite a lot! There are multiple shops in a 2.5 hour drive-radius from me that sell used instruments and audio equipment for dirt cheap. I bagged a $700 audio interface for $100 - just a single hunge! I could probably start an Elephant 6-grade recording setup with a thousand.

Nope. None of the jobs I've worked ever offered it, and I never had the budget for it. All my medical costs have been covered out of pocket.

When I broke and dislocated my arm a few years ago, four months' worth of hospital visits drained my bank account, over $2,000 gone. It was also draining hundreds from my brother's account, and then the week before Christmas I got hit with a bill for over three thousand dollars to cover the rest of the services rendered, due Christmas eve.

The services that were rendered included having my arm eyeballed by a doctor a few times, two xrays, and that's it. Nothing for the pain ("Just mix ibuprofen and Tylenol"), nothing to rehabilitate the strength I lost in that arm, just some dick in a coat poking my arm and charging me hundreds for the opportunity.

Had I not gone to the hospital, I wouldn't have been left penniless. Combine that with my severe anxiety disorder and now I feel fight-or-flight fear responses any time I have to spend more than $100 on something.

Oh yeah, then a few months after that a friend of mine elsewhere in the country fell ill. He didn't think it was major enough to warrant hospital fees, especially since he was uninsured and made little money. About a week later his condition suddenly went critical, and the next evening his sister informed me that he was dead in the hospital. Leukemia. I'd still be talking to him if it weren't for the American wealthcare system.

And Kitboga's on the left.

A lot of the metros look copy and pasted; whole hallways, rooms, so it gets a little confusing.

Anti-woke go broke.

Oh I loved that one as a kid. Any time I install an NES emulator on a device Archon is the first game I add to it.

 

As in, channels where the presenter is laid back, calming, and the content is slower paced and chill. My go two examples are LGR for retro computer stuff, and Hainbach for experimental tape music.

 

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!
