Cowboy, Hippy, Sad Man. Yep, that's me. @antisocialpennsylvanian - Tumblr Blog

The US government blocked a bill providing 14 days of paid sick leave for employees due to coronavirus.

Want to know the reason for blocking it? It would put a strain on employers. The capitalist class will always prioritize their well-being over their less wealthy fellow humans, and this is yet another example.

Profit-motivated approaches to health crises treat human life as part of a cost-benefit analysis, and capitalism is the new divine right of kings: Some people, due to their supposed rightful social status, deserve to live above all others.

My brain during sane hours of the day: “I have a good job with benefits, a stable social network with supportive friends and family, and I’m a nerd who thrives on advanced technology. Also, I dislike the taste of fish.”

My brain on Tumblr at 3:30am: “Y’know, abandoning all technology and leaving civilization behind looks like a lot of fun! And I could teach the kids how to build a fish trap!”

A metal one lets you heat the water right in the container. A plastic one is cheaper but you have to heat the water then pour it in.

A single pellet of #0 lead buckshot is about .310 diameter and 40 grains, identical to a .22 bullet but with a much larger frontal area.

Some handloaders use them with a very light powder charge and some polyester filler for the empty space. It’s about as powerful as a .22, but it won’t fly nearly as far due to the lower ballistic coefficient. That makes it safer to shoot upwards at targets in trees, for example.

A few round-ball .30-30 cartridges allow you to shoot at targets of opportunity, not just big game. A normal deer bullet would vaporize a rabbit, but a single small lead pellet won’t even damage the meat.

It’s back again so I’ll add more. On the Canoeing, “Indian” stroke is brilliant if hunting from a canoe, as the paddle never leaves the water so it is far quieter. It’s labeled as underwater stroke in this photo:

Also if you have a two person canoe but only one person in it, turn the canoe around (bow becomes stern, stern becomes bow) and sit on what was the bow seat facing what was the stern seat, this puts you closer to the center of the canoe giving you greater power and control.

You can also kneel down and Keel the canoe over slightly to one side to give it a small area of drag in the water.
