The only reason I have a great credit score is because I opened a credit line at 18, and have a house, which I was only able up get because, when we got married, our parents and family helped raise 10k instead of having a large wedding. Add our 20k in savings that we were only able to get because we lived with my parents, and we were able to put a down payment on the house. Thanks to crazy house prices, we look well off. On paper.

We have less than 1k in savings, so any surprise bill or breakdown might have us having to take a loan. I’ve been learning how to fix and repair everything we own. Basically me, every time something breaks. I spent the last 6 months doing maintenance on our 2 vehicles. Transmission filters, brakes, radiator coolant, diff oil, etc. I realized I’ve become my grandpa who drove a 35 year old POS, but kept it running well.

I seriously don’t know how us regular ppl are supposed to better our lives when everything is predatory and something as simple a credit score fucks you.

We should name the opposite of midas touch as trump touch. Everything he touches turns to shits.

I saw a YouTube vid on 3d printing guys building glock based guns. Anything that actually took pressure (barrel, springs, extractors, etc) were store bought metal parts.

I remember when the news talked about ghost guns that they’d always bring up this CNC machine that would build AR lowers, the part that is legally “the gun”. I’m pretty sure it was the ghost gunner.

I read into it and got on forums. There was a poster who bought the machine and, because of legal reasons, had to get his friends to come push the start button so that they were making their own guns and not the poster making guns for others. Apparently, he got visited by the ATF, but basically got told he’s walking a fine line.

I can make my own ghost gun with a hand drill and a template you can buy online. a motivated person will always be able to find a way to do things, but its actually easier to just find someone to sell you a cheap illegal gun if you’re gonna commit a crime than to go through the whole trouble of building one yourself.

Did everybody forget about the STADIUM PAL! It’s a solved issue

its added to so many meds that ppl don’t realize they’ve taken 1200mg from like a cough suppressant and a separate decongestant.

We gonna go back to BBS with pixel titties
