100% Penguin Free Cafe

Usa City, Oita Prefecture, Japan
(wait that's a city?)
called "Usa's Machu Picchu"
I don't know what Japan's Tittycaca is
by wasabitool on Instagram

Dis me, every seven days.

Monkey peeling an egg. He is much, much better at it than I am. When I peel an egg I wind up with a yolk with some chunky bits of egg sticking out.

Cub cuddle.

This parrot is doing an impression of Captain Kirk in a fistfight.

I don't think this mom is pretending, I think she zoned out and really did not see the baby panther sneaking up on her. That pogo-jump looks legit to me.

Jilted!

Flying squirrels taking off.

Guardian-Dog smarter, not harder.

Three-way marmot standoff.

This is basically The Prestige reenacted in 25 seconds.

If you need a smile.. 😊

21 Piglets! Years ago I saw a Brazilian music artist perform a concert, he's a bit avant garde. He played multiple instruments very well. A bunch of percussion, piano, guitar. So he starts singing in Portugese and he is holding a shoebox while he sings. Then he opens the shoebox and pulls out a couple of piglets and squeezes them and they squeal. It was a piglet interlude.
Everyone around me acts like they'd seen it before...

I would say their elections are as real as our elections are which is to say they are mostly spectral in nature.

But that is besides the point, Hamas are leaders of the Palestinians in Gaza.

What is being attempted here is simply a Judo move and PsyOp.

114 The grisly stabbing death of synagogue president and political strategist Samantha Woll was not a hate crime, Detroit Police announced Monday at a press conference.

"We believe that there are no other groups or anyone else at risk in regard to this particular incident," Detroit Chief of Police James E. White told reporters.

Gotta let a cigar butt cool, before it goes into the can, or gets "field stripped" to be but loose leaf to decay as "organic" as nature intends.

I'll normally let 'em chill down against the frame of my chair, give 'em a couple mintues and then toss 'em or tear 'em down. This one "went walkabout", and I couldn't find it anywhere near. I do hope someone did the Samaritan, and sent it to the Great Cigar Bin. Amen and Amen. (red-band, Manny Lopez, El Cubano Cigars. If found, I'll plead Guilty as Charged!)

But a Dr. Pepper can in a tree. That's not benign neglect. That's callous disregard for the property and hosts. Someone's Moron Card is gonna get downgraded to "Dust".

I'm looking for advice. My son I shoot together so I want to make a long gun purchase that will be fun. I'd love to learn long range shooting.

I live in NYC and the closest range is 50 yards max. I think there are longer ranges in NJ and PA that we could use as opportunity presents itself.

Anyways, can we learn to shoot on a 50 yard? Can we learn and practice skill that will translate?

If the answer is yes, my next question would be purchase related.

I complained and he refunded my money immediately! I took a week or so and took the top cover off and discovered it was due to shipping handling, and there really would have been nothing anybody could have done, it was just one of those things. So we talked and he reposted a sale on ebay for USD$25 less than what I paid. The cassette player is essentially new, 1984-ish. I had the best experience with this seller.

With a 50 yd. maximum, I'd advise a CZ-457 Lux, .22LR, 25" barrel. Equip it with an aftermarket aperature (peep) rear sight, a sling, and y'all get REALLY GOOD at all of your rifle basics, using those Iron Sights and Proper Shooting Basics (including Prone, Sitting, Kneeling and Offhand {standing} positions.)

It's a reasonably priced High Quality Rifle, possessed of INCREDIBLE accuracy, and will challenge you to shoot it to the best of IT'S ability. ($450/$500ish, varies)

Don't top it with scope, for at least two years. Y'all MASTER the Iron Sights. Become Riflemen, not just mere "shooters."

There is no such thing as stopping power outside of warfare. .45 ACP is King of the hill for that. My go-to is a 4-part descent: Avoid, Retreat, Deter, and Engage.
It's shocking how many people can't retreat. They get on a path and then can't get off it. I see fracases all the time and do not intervene, in my Ghetto it's likely both are at fault. See a fight? Avoid it. Retreat from it. If it follows you, deter it. If it insists, engage it.

196 Anyways, can we learn to shoot on a 50 yard? Can we learn and practice skill that will translate?

Yes. The basics are the basics. The main skill needed for longer ranges is reading the wind and can be learned as the opportunity to shoot at longer ranges are available.

198 I hear that LenNeal and exercise that in practice.

But there's a lot of very fun hobbies that are challenging, and the reason I've taken to shooting is largely because of the power.

A power I hope with all my heart and soul never to have cause to employ.

But I've gotten into 2A (and living NYC you have to be super motivated) because I fear that there is non negligible probability that I may one day have to be useful to my community and other good people along those lines.

And living in NYC (and also a family man with a budget I need to make these purchase count along multiple axis.)

201 The 452 "American" was driving me crazy here about 15 years ago. One of my charges was about to get His First Rifle, and I wanted in the worst way for him to have something competitive for precision target shooting. The 452 had a hooded front sight that looks like an "Olympic," but it's not. I talked to the factory's competition shop about making the change, and they sheepishly admitted that the front is sweated on and is very hard to convert. Other than that, it is a very fine rifle indeed. I could not figure out why they didn't want it considered as a precision rifle.

203 I took The Kid to the range last night and she was upset that she barely got 12 rounds on the paper at 15 feet. .38 Special, she has small hands, cocking the hammer with the left hand and pressing the trigger with her right. Also, left eye dominant and right-handed.
I told her, the important thing is, I need to know you will pull the trigger on a human being. I need to know that. If you genuinely can't? That gun is a liability to you. I need to know you will say, Fuck off, BLAM. Accuracy is then so secondary it's not even worth talking about.
The willingness to shoot, is far more important than accuracy practice.

Posted by: LenNeal knows Detroit at October 23, 2023 09:31 PM (/BBNv)

204 Related tothat 50 yd range.

When the Army used the M-16A2 they used a miniture target at 10 yds (?) to zero. When zeroed at 10, because bullet trajectory was still going up, and some point it start going back down... zero at ten was also zero at 300.

There is a lot about this on the net with several variations including cartridge one is going to zero.

The M-16A2 had the classic carry handle and tall post front sight. So that was certainly also considered in the 10 / 300 zero. Different rifle, different cal, different target it would not work so nicely.

208 I went north out of Nashville and went up through Kentucky, up to Ohio, and straight east to jersey. Stayed over for the night in bowling green, and had a nice day time drive through Kentucky with a cloudless sky. Huge difference it made in the drive. Rt81 can kiss my ass.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 23, 2023 09:19 PM (9YBut)

Entering Cincinnati from Kentucky, that first 15 miles going north is the biggest pain in the ass.

It’s bad enough that I’ve gone up the west side of the Mississippi and into Indianapolis, then across to Columbus, just to avoid that traffic.

But yeah, it’s a long ass drive home …

209 RI Red, thank you for the recommendation. What you suggest as far as barrel length.

The other expert recommendation given here that I've bookmarked mentioned 25 inch. I'm not seeing the ruger in that length though in my dealer's inventory.

Is it basically the longer the better?

If you have transportation and the time, join the ANJPRC Cherry Ridge range. https://www.anjrpc.org/

It has everything you need to learn to shoot. Pistol, rifle (100-200-300 yard ranges), .22 range, shotgun....

It's about 90 minutes from midtown, but it can be a full day affair, with lots of shooting. It's a great range.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at October 23, 2023 09:34 PM (3Gtis)

213 CBD, next time you’re up, we’ll start at the lower range with a .22 or two at 50. I guaran dam tee you that you’ll be hitting aspirin regularly.
And then, it translates into hits on the upper range.

214 The pic is of one of the villages near Oita. The city proper is small but it looks like a normal Japanese city. No bullet train, though.

Reminds me of a book about an American couple that moved to a small village after living in a Japanese city for a few years. The village was a nightmare for them; the villagers disliked outsiders and hated their neighbors even more. Rural life isn't always the idyllic thing people imagine.

217 ..naftali

In NYC, I'd stick with the Bolt Action rifles. The semi-auto Ruger 10/22 is a GREAT rifle, but New Yawk and semi-auto are mutually contradictory terms. Even if legal now, they're a keyboard away from changing that.

Start with the CZ-457, and later, add a Centerfire, bolt action rifle, suited for both long range target shooting *and* hunting. 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win. are both splended choices, with both having many ammo choices on the market.

By time you work through the .22 LR skills and buy the Centerfire... feel free to "scope" the .22, also. That'll keep both concurrent on the same practice-tracks.

Ruger 10-22 comes standard with a 16, 18 inch or 20” barrel, I seem to recall. Perfect for .22.

Target 22s seem to work best at 16”. At least for me.

If I were going to buy another competition .22, I’d buy a CZ. Many of my competitors shoot them and do very well.
But as an all round rifle I’d go with the 10-22. Given that NYC sucks, the answer is to move.

228 RI Red. For learning with Iron Sights, the 25" tube offers the Sight Radius.

Plus, NYC +/- Semi-Auto.

Plus, a desire to learn Long Range Riflery. With *very* limited selection and battery, I'd go Boltie, all the way.

My CZ 452 Lux is a Minute of Golf Ball rifle at 125 yards, with factory irons. It might BE more accurate than that, but I wasn't, at least "that day".

233 The Winchester 75 with the Lyman sights is good for 200+ yards easily. Not much punch at that range but you can drop it in. 40 grain usual velocity is predicable. Sameness is better than otherwise. The Target RWS is good for 200 yards.

I'm cool with that.
She was upset she didn't get tighter groups at what 15 feet with .38 Special hollow-points and then was a little upset when I tried to explain accuracy is not the main point in self-defense. It's not a trainable business, get into it nobody really knows what they will do.

You'll be gratified to know that the local news/talk radio (AM 740) here in Houston, gave homage and coverage of the Beirut terrorist attack, from morning til' now, and I'm sure till they cycle the day's news to "tomorrow."

They especially compared it's Iranian origins to what we're seeing now in Gaza, et. al.
