Not a fan of the lever action, while it does have a short throw I feel like a pump would be more suitable for me.

Just to explain a bit more, every time I eject a round it take a lot force to do so on the top of my fingers, after about 30 rounds or so I put it down to shoot something else.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the lever properly, unless someone has tips on Lever Actions.. Otherwise please recommend a pump 12 gauge shotgun that's about the same size. I was thinking about a Winchester or an Ithaca.

New cases and information reported in the last 24 hours

• New cases:
  • 18,000 new cases. This is not an approximation, CHO confirmed we have exactly 18,000 *4,320 of these are RAT tests that have been reported to Queensland health by individuals.
    • You can report your positive test here.
    • 36% PCR positivity rate

Important Information From the Press Conference

• As of tomorrow, 5-11 year olds are eligible for vaccination. They can be vaccinated at a GP, pharmacy or vaccination hub.
• 87.67% of Queenslanders are fully vaccinated.
• About 200,000 RATS have been distributed so far.
• The projections are that QLD will reach it's peak in the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb.
• Because of this, the start of the school year for grades 1-10 will be moved to Monday Feb 7th. End of school year for these grades pushed to 16th of December to make up for time lost. The school year for grades Grades 11 and 12 will commence remote learning from Mon 31st Jan.
• Schools will be open for vulnerable children and children of essential workers.
• If you have also had a PCR test as well as a positive RAT, you do not need to report your result via the reporting website.
• While we had 18,000 cases reported, we know for certain there are much more than that.
• This sort of widespread infection is necessary for the virus to become endemic, rather than pandemic. While it is necessary, the next few weeks are definitely going to strain our health care system.
• There are still relatively few people hospitalised at the moment, with 22 people in ICU and 5 vented.
• According to ICU doctors, those in ICU are sicker, relative to previous waves.
• At this stage only 380 in hospital requiring treatment for COVID
• Expecting a substantial increase in hospitalisations starting from a week from now and continuing to rise up until the first week of Feb.
• If you have had your second dose of vaccine >4 months ago, please, please go get your booster. If it's less than 4 months you are likely getting good protection anyway.

Restrictions for Impacted Areas

• Face masks are required in all indoor settings in Queensland.

• There is no limit on gatherings in public outdoor spaces. Gatherings at a private residence are limited to a maximum of 100 people.

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It was September 14th, 1977 when a Waukesha County Sheriff deputy was parked alongside Interstate 94 when a car flew past him. The deputy caught up to the vehicle to pull it over. The driver exited onto Golf Road and attempted to evade the deputy at a high rate of speed. The driver approached the intersection of Golf Road and County Road SS (potentially Prospect Avenue today.)

The driver lost control of his vehicle here and rolled into a wooded area near this intersection. No other vehicles were involved in this incident and the driver appeared to be the only person in the car. The deputy found the vehicle upside down, and found the deceased driver twenty-five feet away. Further investigation found that John Doe's vehicle had been stolen from Gurnee, Illinois, roughly 67 miles southeast of the accident site.

Interesting items found in the vehicle included a Waltham wrist watch, 3 sets of keys, several bags of women's clothes, cash inside a wallet, an envelope with the name Scott written on it containing unidentified pills, and a cigarette lighter with the inscription "To John, love Lauri."

Also in his personal effects were some notes including:

• "Belmot Kedzie 2814 (or 2.814)"

• An ad for Johhny's Mobile Home Sales

• "Employment Office 2860 N. Lincoln No hiring done here"

• "Lincolln" and a circular squiggle

• "Riddell Inc 1151 W . Roscoe"

Other unspecified items supposedly bore the name "John."

The man who came to be known as Delafield John Doe was a white male estimated to be between 17-30 years old. Fast forward to 2015, and John Doe's DNA is finally collected. The medical examiner's office presented the case to the DNA Doe Project. Sometime in 2021, a family member was identified. The DNA match was made with the Joh

Edit to add update: BM's husband has 3 daughter with his ex wife. BM got oldest daughter(11) a cell phone and put the stalking app on it too. Ex wife has returned phone due to app and the phone has been given to my youngest ss10. And before anyone suggests we do the same, just know BM knows no limits and will continually show up to the house crying or some shit to make the kids feel badly and agree to this. If she doesn't have full control, she will manipulate the kids into allowing her to. It's not fair to anyone. When the kids are ready for the battle, we will work it out.

This is just to vent. There's no advice that could be given to deal with this level of crazy.

This afternoon, I left the house to pick up ss12, ss10, and bio son 7 from school and my so was working from home. When I arrived home, my so pulled me aside and said he needed to talk to me away from the kids. We went to our room and he said that while I was out, hcbm called him crying hysterically that she had looked at her tracking app that she has on ss12"s phone and saw that one morning last week while I was driving them to school I reached a speed of 87 mph. My so asked me about it and I said I have no idea. I usually set my cruise control at 73 ( interstate driving) but perhaps I needed to pass someone quickly. Obviously I wasn't trying to endanger anyone. My son was in the car too. He said he understood and figured all of that and that he had my back on their phone call. I'm just completely frustrated. It's like I can't do anything right. I can't even drive the kids to school correctly. It's complete bullshit. And she called my husband? To what, tell on me? Wtf. Like I don't even believe her tears. I don't think she was upset about this. I think she's up to something more sinister. I'm not sure what her endgame is but I'm over her antics. The reason I don't believe she was truly worried is because I think if you really think your kids lives are in danger , you would try to intercept me from picking them up from school. Thanks if you read this far. This is the end of my rant.

Pilot on me!!

So my family took a long overdue road trip to see Mickey Mouse and got some beach time while down there during Xmas break. We opted to use our newly acquired ID.4 RWD Pro S instead of the family minivan. The decision was based on free EA charging (no brainer vs gas price) and surprisingly spacious room (hold 2 adults + 3 kids, two large luggage and a bunch of misc. bags).

Day 1: departure from Cincinnati, OH to Knoxville, TN.

We started with 100% in my garage, about 210 miles later we were at our first EA charging station in Williamsburg, KY. Everything worked great although it was in heavy downpour. Got 125 kw immediately, which later I learnt is not that common, lol. Dined in at a nearby pancake place, I think the name is Humble House or something. 40 minutes later we hit the road again with 87%. ID.4 handled the heavy rain and curvy TN mountain road with ease.

Day 2: Knoxville, TN to Atlanta, GA

We stopped by the famous Ooltewah EA station, it is 1 mile from the future VW plant so this is supposed to be their "flagship". Horrible experience, almost all chargers would not give "fast charging" despite we were less than 20%. A lot of trial and re-park, the best they can do was about 65 kw. There was an EA engineer onsite trying to fix a truly broken down charger. He is friendly but not spilling anything. During my charging there, about 5 ID.4 came and go. We have to walk across several high traffic streets to eat at a Burger King.

Day 3: Atlanta, GA

We visited some old friends in Atlanta, and were surprised with how many EA stations existing around town. Being from Ohio, I already get used to 1 EA station per 1 big city (C, C & C). Many of the stations in Atlanta don't have 350 kw charger, despite EA app says so. We stopped by a location near my friend's house. I think it was somewhere on the east side of I285 near a Publix, half of the chargers are broken, but the ones working worked great at 125 KW.

Day 4 Gainesville, FL

Stop by my alma mater to see my nephew graduation. The only EA station in Gator Country was packed with ID.4s, and they only have 4 chargers with parking spaces designed for cars no bigger than Leaf. We managed to get one spot, but the charger worked very slow (~30 kw). All chargers were giving out free charging, I guess due to issues.

Day 5 Orlando, FL

We tried charging station at Florida Mall in Orlando. Two spots were ICE'd by muscles cars. The one we tried was charging slow at 50 kw. I also helped a new ID.4 owner in t

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

Hi! I had all this in my head, so I felt like writing it all down and also sharing it here, because I think it is quite interesting. For a while now, I have been very interested in past lives and have gone down a rabbit hole myself. A pretty deep one. I have 3 main lives before this one. I may have more, but they are more blurry and not very detailed. This has changed the way I look at life, because literally, these past life memories have made me feel like I have lived for over 100 years more than I actually have. The most unbelieveable part is that, because it feels nuts, when you think of your life like that and the lives even connect to each other, which helps gluing it all into one big timeline. I got this all from past life regressions, music (big thing!) and just sounds and sometimes just kind of knowing it, if you know what I mean? Everything came to me very naturally. There are real emotions involved in this and sometimes I feel them whenever I think about some of the things. It's crazy. Now let's get to the story, shall we!

Life 1:

I was born in 1882 in England. I was living in a pretty big family with many siblings. The presence or thought of my then mom and dad felt quite cold. I think me and my siblings were bonding though. I remember some things from being a kid back then. I remember our wooden house. It was by a street, surrounded by forest on the sides and back, with a backyard. There were mostly fields everywhere, where you would look at. I remember my bedroom very faintly. I remember playing with my siblings on the yard with something as very small kids. I remember going to the giant looking forest and I loved it. I think in the late 1880s, I went to school. I remember the look of the school. There was a negative atmosphere. The teacher radiated negative energy and I think she was more harsh than teachers today. There was a town nearby and I liked to visit it as a kid, I feel. Basically that is what I remember from my childhood. the 1890s are a bit blurry. I became a teen and I had some friends that I would go to the town with. I started to work at some point as a teen. I remember working as a cleaner at a bar and I remember that the man there was friendly and I remember us laughing. In my current life, I had always been interested in ships and just life onboard them. Turned out, in this life I was a seaman. In 1901, I started to work at a ship that was possibly HMS Prince George. There are bunch of pictures in my head of living in a sh

New cases and information reported in the last 24 hours

• New cases:
  • +10,332 new locally acquired cases
  • 1 new death
    • This is the death reported on the Gold Coast last week, which the coroner has now ruled as COVID related.

Important Information From the Press Conference

• If you have a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), you should assume you have COVID and isolate.
  • Don't Get a confirmatory PCR test
  • Don't Call an ambulance simply because you have a positive COVID test
  • Don't Present to the emergency department simply because you have a positive COVID test.
  • Don't Present to the emergency department for a COVID test if you do not require hospital treatment.
  • Do seek treatment if you have serious symptoms.
  • You do not need to notify Queensland health at this stage
• The only people who should be lining up for a PCR test are those that are symptomatic and have not been able to access a RAT, or have a day 6 testing requirement and are unable to access a RAT. All other people should be staying away from testing lines.
• The death reported was on the 27th of December last year. The death of a man in his 80s from the Gold Coast has been confirmed as COVID related by the coroner.
• Vaccination rates are now 90.85% first dose and 87.03% second dose.
• Testing will not be required before patients present to hospital.
• National return to school framework will be decided very soon - before start of school year.
• International arrivals who are quarantining at home are now able to do their test as a RAT instead.
• The 10,332 new cases are a gross underestimate of the true number because of the difficulty in accessing PCR testing.
• That we are not seeing a major escalation in ICU admissions is a cause for cautious hope.
• The number of patients in hospital wards - intermediate illness, is increasing steadily. This is expected to increase very substantially in the coming weeks.
• This epidemic is looking very different than the previous strains. We are likely to see a higher proportion of ward patients as opposed to critical care patients.
• The sheer number of patients that are going to get infected in the coming weeks are going to result in a very large amount of patients requiring ward level treatment.
• The bulk of positive patients so far have been young people in their 20's and 30's as this is the most socially mobile group. This is also the fittest and healthiest portion
