I wish they had kept X-2s combat system for the rest of the franchise... A winning formula, yet they kept pushing action rpg instead of turn-based.

He was opening and closing the store. His boss denied him the pay raise he deserved, so he gave her the middle finger during the middle of a crowded shift and walked out. Within the hour he had a job at A&W getting paid more.

Thats 100% true and is really the crippling part: not seeing how much all this will cost at the end of the road. And it comes on so fast. Im sorry for your loss =(

It might be less than that, but like $200-300 still. They want an ultrasound too but that can be prolonged after the Xray I guess. My usual vet is booked for the next 3 weeks, and my only option are emergency care centers.

Fortunately the problem doesnt seem to be his kidney, they ran a blood test for it and he's actually healthy on that department, surprisingly.

Fortunately we got a new puppy back in March, several years after my last pup passed. This new pup is even better than the last dog. Don't get me wrong, our original Shih' Tzu was a sweetheart, but this new one always greets me when I go to my parents house, is always looking for attention, and has this funny habit of having to be between my legs if I sit on the floor.

It's a hard thing to go through. My shih'tzu had to be put down shortly after his 17th birthday. Sweetheart of a dog, but it went down fast. He stopped eating and lost a lot of weight in the last month. As hard as it is to say it, you've had your cat for 14 long years and made lots of great memories with him. And I know from personal experience that while it might be hard to have to put down the pet, its a better option at this point in his life, than if he was 4-5 years old; as unfortunately even after getting the procedures finished, you don't know what the solution will cost.

The increase in accuracy is worth it. Using your body to help brace the gun also helps accuracy. I think thats why attachable stocks for hand guns is a thing

yep. I think I'm more fine with home owners owning rifles/shotguns than pistols. Less chances for fuck ups, as those things aren't exactly light. I remember holding my grandfathers old military rifle back when I was 9 or 10 and it weighed a good 10-15 lbs.

Honestly I've seen people shoot. Rifles are easier to be accurate with. As much as I love handguns their only advantage is easier to carry around imo

Rifles also require you to use both hands and sometimes your body to brace the gun.

That's what gun safes are for. You got smaller ones for individual guns and big ones for bigger/more guns. Had a family memeber start having suicidal thoughts once. Passcode on the safe got changed right away.

A lot of states do have laws about leaving guns laying around the house unsecured where a minor could get them at the very least. One of those kinda laws though that aint gonna get enforced until after something happens though

I know that Japan has very interesting gun laws. Not something that would work in America mind you, but interesting nonetheless. In Japan they force you to keep ammo and the gun in separate safes, you also have to have a very thorough mental health evaluation and it takes a long time to actually get a gun, which is why so few actually have one. Handguns are outright banned. Only air rifles and shotguns are allowed; and if you die, your relatives must hand in your firearms.

The problem, at least in some cases is that it isn't the gun owner that causes the mass shootings. It's someone who might be related to the gun owner. As in the typical case of school shooters.

I don't know how the gun laws work in America, but I would imagine it should play similar to getting your red cross first aid training up here in Canada. Renewed every few years with some sort of course that you need to pass. That could include a psych test, thorough background review, etc. It won't get guns off the streets, but it would reduce careless users. Hell, maybe you already do that. I don't know.

I talked to a local pharmacy who gave me my second shot yesterday.

2 - its custom painted which is tedious work.

You think its ridiculous because you aren't aware the time that goes into each figurine. Hobby figures for D&D can take a couple days to paint properly, now scale that to something that is 13 inches and hand crafted. Could easily take a couple weeks, so they charge appropriately.
