I can't believe how civil people are being in this thread: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/131413-Social-experiment
I was going to post IBTL, but it doesn't look like it's headed that way (surprisingly)

Fucking 19 year old shit head who thinks he knows it all while living rent free in my house......
I just picked up a new action spring for my PredatAR. Turns out that when you put a suppressor on a 16" .308 AR, it MAY then be over gassed.
the new spring is about 230# heavier. Seriously, its heavy. I think I'm gonna have to start doing 'gun-ups'!

I know that would mean taking time out from video games and skyping with friends while playing, but part time seasonal work at Elitch's isn't going to cut it.Quote:

Damn Dave that sucks! My niece is 21 and just got her license and is working at water world....wtf is wrong with these kids? I was moved out at 17 and working ft. I always had at least pt since I was 13, lawns and misc chores since I was about 6-7.
My half day today was 5am until 645pm.Quote:

I don't own a pellet gun and can't just start shooting guns in my neighborhood... So I grabbed an old $10 slingshot from my survival bag and gave it a try. First shot missed and I don't know by how much. Second shot blew off its front leg. It ran away on three legs and stopped in the middle of my grass. I walked up to it with the intention of killing it, but somehow I missed twice from 4 ft away and I was out of pellets, so I went and grabbed a rock about 3/4inch in diameter and that sure did the trick... it was definitely dead after the rock from point blank. Upon inspection, the little steel pellet tore its front leg completely off about halfway up, so I'm pretty sure a hit to the head or vitals would have killed it pretty quickly.
I'm such a Neandertal.
Pictures, or it didn't happen. :what:Quote:

Ha! I already shoveled it into a construction dumpster down the street. I should have thrown it into my neighbor's window well... I've seen them "rescuing" bunnies from their window wells 2 times now and then "releasing them into the wild" (my yard). My neighbors are kinda weird.. Their son is going to grow up to be a pussy.Quote:

I don't really know my neighbors and I don't want them calling the police or panicking because they heard a gunshot at 10pm. I plan on staying in this neighborhood for a while and the last thing I want is pissed off neighbors. Also, it's illegal to discharge a firearm within the city limits and/or within x feet from a road, and/or within x feet from a house, etc. I'd like to keep it on the DL.Quote:

Well, someone mentioned cops in the thread, so I went ahead and put in my "IBTL" in.Quote:

Expect multiple offers for $5-15K over asking. However some of them are going to want you to, grade the driveway, repaint the closet (MIL hates earth tones) trust me it's happened. You're selling it AS IS, outside of any legit repairs needed, like septic etc.
Having the house sparsely furnished during open house / realtor visits helps. Move any firearms / safe in to the garage, with a cover over it. Better yet, see if you can score a refrigerator box to put over it.
HB,
The visual of you going primal on that rabbit is funny.
I dispatch them with a Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper .22 and no one is the wiser.
On the move out thread, I was gone mid way through senior year. Once I turned 18, as promised by 'rents, I was calling the shots.
Worked as a lad to afford a car and some pocket money. REAL lucky I've never really been unemployed.
Got a few rabbits near my house that I know I can't do anything to. I'd love to use even a pellet gun to keep them from chewing my yard and my wife's flowers in the front, plus I'd have some good stew. But I have some nosy neighbors that wouldn't hesitate to turn me in.Quote:

His biggest problem is that at 19 he still thinks food service and retail are jobs that are below him. Yet, I was 12 when I first worked a summer de-tasseling corn back in Michigan, each year from 12-15. Then, I worked at Rotten Ronnie's (MC D's) from 16-18 until I joined the Army. His mom worked Taco Bell in high school until joining the Navy. We both have college degrees and decent jobs, not sure what he's waiting for. [Shake]
He's apparently waiting for someone to hand it to him.
Spot on. Beat me to it.Quote:

I knew several people in college who were partying and failing their classes left and right about to be kicked out. Then they attended graduation for someone they knew and bam, became extremely motivated to finish.
Then again, some people just are just complacent with what they have and don't care. I couldn't wait to get out of food service (Starbucks) fast enough when I was in my final year of school (had to quit because was taking 22+ credits each semester).
