I don't know anything about them, except the small ones usually don't need a permit.
I'm considering picking one up. I'd like it to be as good as I can get for under $300.
TIA

In my right hip. Which means that I desperately need tp find a job that doesn't involve lifting andd carrying heavy objects.....

I believe I may be passing a gall stone... Needless to say I have an upset stomach, and major pain under my right, lowest rib.... What gives me the clue? My EX had a similar experience shortly after I left the army.... Symptoms so similar they are eerie!

So I previously reported that the Keen utility footwear that I purchased sometime late last year, or early this year were causing me problems. Well the problems continue, it seems there is a bar or something in the foot-bed that leaves me feeling like I have wrinkles under my heels.... Needles to say that is unacceptable! I've tried loosening the laces and working any spare fabric that might be under my feet out, but as near as I can tell my socks are not getting wrinkles. Boot off, sock has no wrinkle. Boot on, there is a problem under my heel!

Asstr? Dead? Alive? Honey trap? Who knows? I'd guess that in some ways Asstr represents the old web before google realized that it could rule the world, and that it wanted to do so. There is doing evil by letting evil run rampant, and there is doing evil by trying to control everything that is done and said...

I've been enjoying Variations On a Theme (a story published here) and have to agree with the philosophy that the author puts forward. GOD is good, but in order to be good, GOD must allow men to be evil.... Why? Otherwise there would be no proof that there were good men...

Okay enough of that, just know that the continued disappearance of asstr is in the same vein as Amazon refusing to fill my order for To Think I saw it on Mulberry Street... It is censorship in practice.

Neither place may be healthy, but I think that health and safety have become the newest (though they really aren't that new) in the arsenal of means to control by those who think they know better than me how my life ought to be lived. I take no undue risks, yet at times, I'm sure that having lived my life that way I've missed things... Like airborne school.... Mountain training... Survival training at all, well you get the picture.

So... Censorship didn't start out on my mind, but as you can see it has entered front and center. What bothers me is when large corporations start to act like governments. For to be honest they have less restrictions on them than does the govt of the USA... Not that the govt has paid much attention to the restrictions placed on it lately. Indeed I'd say that the bureaucratic state has come to think of itself much like the Mandarin Caste of China... The Mandarins had more real power than the emperor and exercised it accordingly to the point that everyone ended up a member of a slightly criminal to majorly criminal organization if they weren't inside members of the Mandarin organization.

I.E. The bureaucrats of the USA consider themselves the rulers of the people, rather than the servants of the people. And that is producing bad results.

I've been under the weather some, a bit of the flu I think, but hey, I can't get in to see a doctor, 'cause COVID... So it might be COVID. Not too much worse than a cough, upset stomach and general muscle aches.

Anyway, that has been my week.
