won't be posting this on IG: zombie apocalypse home defense.
eh.
POF P415 Edge - 5.56 AR-15, 30 round magazine.
POF (Patriots Ordinance Factory - lol) makes very high end stuff. Gun enthusiasts consider them Ferrari-level gun making. I think they were the first company to bring the gas-piston system (ie ak47) to ar-15's. Guy who owns the company (trumper fuck) comes from the aerospace industry and makes incredibly reliable/durable weapons. ie, in meltdown tests (non-stop firing thousands of rounds), their stuff holds up far better than most. Couldn't even find a video if it failing. Most stuff catches on fire and/or melts eventually, and stops shooting. POF owner has some incredible videos breaking down the internals of the guns they make - the difference maker for me on which rifle to choose.
still need to get some stuff for it: mounted flashlight, good sights.
also need to get a suppressor. in the unfortunate event that I ever have to use it (or any other gun), don't want to blow my dog's eardrums out (legit concern eh). that's a legit FBI background check, takes months to get. legal in FL as long as you pass that check.
got it a few weeks ago. took 3 weeks to ship just cause of all of the crazy shit going down.
was wondering how i'd "feel" with a rifle like this in the house. feel even better than expected. crazy.
america is fucking dangerous. :/

« on: March 28, 2020, 05:25:01 pm »solid harvest this week. might not need to tap into my frozen store-bought ones.
goal is to eventually grow enough so that i could survive entirely on my own farming (other than buying rice/pasta/orange juice/bananas). eventually i need banana growth. i have like 8 banana plants but going to take a year for them to produce bananas. fuuu*k.
when i get my land, i need a steady stream of:
- peppers
- tomatoes
- oranges
- grape fruit
- bananas
- avocados (this one not likely for a long time)
- peas/beans
then just buy rice/pasta etc.
these banana peppers have been a very pleasant surprise, they really produce!

« on: March 27, 2020, 01:36:24 am »The logo on my verve Fitness SSB is definitely on the wrong side compared to the photos of others and on Verve's site...
I emailed them, and they asked me to send some pics, and they said they have no issues sending me a new pad, but I think it's just a matter of taking the cover off and flipping it around.
I had to do a bit of WD40 cleaning on the bar, but overall pretty nice
I was only able to do a couple of light sets with 60kg x 8 today, as I can't squat heavy again till next Tuesday... next session will be sub-maximal explosive sets with 80-90kg x 7-5 or so, and today was supposed to be a rest day/upper body, but I just had to try it out
Initial impressions are that it is better balanced than the Iron Edge bar, there seems to be slightly less camber.
The Iron Edge handles are slightly more angled forward.
The pad is much firmer so it doesn't wobbly around on my back when moving/walking, unlike the iron Edge SSB.
The smooth chromed bar is way easier to rotate on the J hooks to get onto the pads vs the rough powder coating on the IE SSB, and won't rough up the J hook surface.
I find you also can't place the bar as far down the back as the Iron Edge one, I pretty much have to butt the pad against my neck or else the bar will try and roll back - I think due to the larger pad, so it's probably still sitting in the same location, and more secure with neck and back contact.
I put 2x 1kg micro loading plates on the inside as the bar weighs 28kg (I weighed it) to make loading easier
bar is nice.
man u r looking alot lighter.
good stuff !

absolutely love this google lens app.
been wondering what some of this stuff was for a while.. most of this is just naturally growing in my back yard, except for the "fire on the mountain" plant. I picked that from a forrest. it died for months, then somehow re-emerged and has spread to several different pots, unreal. it's one of my favorite non-edible plants.
will take some better photos. these are just the google lens screenshots so i can remember what stuff is called.
this thing smells very edible, it's so odd.. smells oregeno-ish. grew through rocks, out of nowhere.
this is related to sunflowers apparently. started growing in several pots with other plants, again out of nowhere.
this thing is actually pretty big.. but it's starting to fall over. grew through rocks, out of nowhere.
this was growing in my uncut grass, in one spot. it looked so cool that i dug it up and put it in a pot.
my naturally growing everglades tomatoes. have 4 big bushes now. grew through the rocks. there's a definite theme here.
this weird thing grew, out of nowhere, in a cup i was trying to propagate a bougainvillea in. boog didn't make it, but this thing sprouted up, so i eventually put it in a pot.
i tried some of the black berries, not too tasty. apparently the green ones are toxic. grew through the rocks.. there's like 10 of these growing. too bad i can't really eat them. i mean maybe i could but it's not that tasty.. soo..
bunch of these have popped up through the rocks. looks cool early on, then starts looking shabby. letting them grow for a bit.
a more recent one.. through the rocks, like usual. really looks like that marvel-of-peru.. would be nuts if it starts growing flowers like that.
plants are fu*king nuts.
gn!
