Went to a pet store, saw a cocker spaniel puppy. Intrusive thoughts kicked in egging me to take the puppy and that no one will stop me. Resisted my intrusive thoughts. Still puppy-less.

The congressman from Montana has been watching too much Yellowstone. Thinks he is Kevin Costner.
That thing over his US House of Reps pin is the emblem of the Navy Seals so I guess Iâll give him a pass on wearing that stupid hat inside

Zinke has always acted like that. The altitude must all mess with their minds up there in Montana.

Itâs the whole west. I routinely see people in business suits wearing cowboy hats here. The same people have a pistol on their hip at the grocery store.

Oh I was referring to the fact that he is an out-of-touch borderline Libertarian moron who tried to pull such stunts as bringing back leaded hunting bullets and trying to systematically undermine several national monuments.

Isnât lead only banned if youâre shooting water fowl? Maybe each state has different mostly unenforceable laws, but in IL Iâm not aware of any other restrictions.

Without launching into a gun debate, I just want to state my displeasure for any law outlawing something youâre likely to have many of and maybe not even know where they all are and makes their possession immediately criminal. Magazines are cheap, have not been regulated (anyone can buy them) and anyone whoâs owned guns for more than a couple years probably has a bunch of them laying around in places they donât even remember. You gotta give people 30 days to turn them in or destroy them or whatever. You also should acknowledge that an old girlfriend of a gun owner might have one somewhere in her house and 1) have no idea itâs there and 2) couldnât reasonably be expected to know this law is changing. It be a shame if she had TWO of them and ended up with a felony bust.

Iâd say Montana has different laws (I am not American remember? I just like the environment) but it doesnât matter what you shoot you probably shouldnât be using bullets filled with lead at all given it is hazardous to the hunter and the environment.

Iâve said before that I donât really like it when IOI use their socials to post thinly-veiled corporate recruitment marketing material. I understand why they do it, but personally as a Hitman fan who follows their social feeds for info and fun nuggets about the games themselves, I couldnât care less if the Barcelona studio hosted an especially homely bake sale or the Malmo team had a great afternoon white-water rafting etc.
With all that said, Iâm really glad they published a lovely little piece on Jacob Mikkelsenâs 20 years at the company today. Heâs been with IOI for the same length of time that Iâve been into the franchise and as well as work on my early faves of Contracts and Blood Money, he has made a massive contribution to the WoA era (which is the absolute peak of the series IMO) by being Track Lead for Paris and Game Director for H2.
A real legend at IOI and Iâm grateful for two decades of him helping to shape my favourite game series.

I got a really nice and unexpected gift from @badeaguard just yesterday. My baller used to have the standard Pacmayr medallions in the grips, NOT ANYMORE!!! It required I do a little bit of work, but I think the results are just fantastic. Thanks again Alex! I hope the results are up to your standards. Cheers to you in the new year.
You can still see a little bit of the gorilla glue that was needed to help keep them from wiggling back and forth. That will be cut away once itâs all perfectly dry, I just didnât want to wait 48 hours to share.

Geometry exam⌠Slept for only 3 hours and left a part unread, yet got a full mark. All the late night studyings worked I guess.
Proving obvious shit was tortures though.

Not exactly ânewâ, but a current status⌠In my other house thatâs one yard over (after my father passed away in 2021) back on Dec. 22nd we had below 0 (F) temperature drop. I had the faucets in my house and the other dripping. Apparently they werenât dripping enough since they both froze up. Come the week after where it got up to the mid 40âs. I get my water back in my (main) house⌠But nothing in the other. My first fear is that a pipe busted. Then I notice the breaker for the well is tripped! I touch the thing to switch it back on. It takes some degree of force, but the moment I touched it it started arcing inside the breaker box. So I switched it completely off. God forbid I should have that house burn down!
A few days later I take it upon myself to crawl underneath this (much larger) house that has a brick and mortar foundation. Towards the back where you enter youâve got a little over 2 feet (from the ground to the floor boards). As you go towards the front of the house it gets much narrower. I suppose I was too 
to go that far in, but none of the pipes towards the back were broken, and Iâd expect them to bust before the others.
So Iâm going to have to call an electrician⌠Or find out why the breaker for my well was tripped and is now arcing inside the breaker box. Did the well burn out from pumping too much water due to a busted pipe I never found?
Itâs besides the point, but the floors on that âfront endâ are warped. So some foundation work or repair will definitely have to be done at some point. And Iâll have to have running water in that house. My dadâs dog stays up there⌠I tried to coax him to come down to my house/yard once, but I guess my dad had him too well trained to not leave.
Given that weâre supposed to have wave after wave of storms coming through over the month(?) I suppose now would be the opportune time to clean out 4 large barrels I have up there to collect all this rain water we should be getting. That could make up for whateverâs wrong with the well.

I wonder if thereâll be a surprise video or update (info) or something? 
Or it could just be a random post, this one saying to take it easy at work.

IOI, at least on twitter, frequently makes posts of the âmondays, they are awfulâ variety. I donât think itâs saying anything.
I do expect something this week (at least a ânext week a video/trailer/articleâ annoucement), though. If unrelated. Since we will be two weeks to Freelance (and WoA).

Just saw a documentary by BBC Persian about the PS752 flight shot down, which mostly consisted of interviews with the families of the victims.
I canât stop crying.

I had no doubts you like it. Now find some one to engrave them and you are all set. They look very good on a real Hardballer. I am very happy you are enjoying them 
I also have some news. I got a medical positive evaluation for my future weapons permit 
This Saturday Iâm going in another place where they will give me some papers that I have to go somewhere and pay. After that a one evening course, in some other day a final exam and then I can legally buy and own firearms.
Once I have it I will see how good Iâm with money and based on that my first weapon will be a Colt 1911 series 70 or a PPK like in the James Bond movies.

man I finally got my tablet out in front of me, ready to continue some long lost art, while having the Golden Globes on in the background for awards or winners I donât particularly care about, but I just ended up watching the whole dang show, because I guess there were quite a few great winners and speeches there (and quite a few categories I had a few interests in)
And my tablet wasnât plugged in, so itâs low battery and I gotta let it charge downstairs⌠
Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan winning actor awards for EEAAO gives me immense, immense joy.
Barry not winning anything tonight I think is due to it being in the Comedy/Musical category.
It mightâve started with a lot more comedy, and there may still be brief moments of levity in the show, but I found this last season to be really scary. Definitely shifted into the Drama territory IMO.
(I say this, but my favourite subplot of an episode was of random people (and a few main characters) ending up in this massive line for a bakery, only for each of them to emotion-dump their problems onto the cashier at the end, who gives everyone advice. Also showing why the line is so long and slow lmao)
