Flechettes are an option but yeah, its imperfect.

You can fit a choke and longer barrel with higher caliber pellets to improve the range.

The answer is it depends on a lot of things, my answer comes from my current financial situation which is stable but not anything crazy.

If I have been working a lot and have money to use, I value my free time at ~2-3x my equivalent hourly wage. If the task is something I enjoy and I have time, I’d rather do it myself than pay someone else. If it is something messy, something I don’t want to do, or something I am bad at or might screw up, that is a problem that money can solve.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say this but humans deserve free time, we should have leisure and hobbies. You should not have to constantly fight/work to survive. We as a species are past that point and it is sad that society has not figured that out. Instead society chooses to keep the status quo where some people have to work 60-80hrs a week to exist.

No, I don’t have the answer on how to change that.

Fun fact, when our trash Govt leaves, it is effectively litter removal. Its the one positive they do for the state, going away.

Does the tv tuner and tv guide work? I tried a few alternatives a few years back and they were garbo. Wmc always just worked.

Windows media center alone is worth resurrecting win7 for.

I’m sorry for your loss.

The fast food chain Dairy Queen is different than those branded “DQ”. It is not a real Dairy Queen unless it is written out fully and does not use the DQ logo on the store. I will not elaborate further nor eat at DQ. There are still a few real stores in really small towns.

Don’t forget TexDOT, they are pretty much war criminals.

In Texas, your property tax is already somewhat two tiered. Your first home is taxed as a homestead and you get an exemption on part of the property tax. If you own a second, third, etc you have to pay the full amount and the annual increases are not capped. Im not 100% sure on the specifics as I don’t own more than 1 though.

It is not my primary method of audio use, I use bluetooth earbuds/headphones in a workshop environment for that so I don’t get the cables caught on machinery or materials but I use it when traveling or listening to music at home because the sound quality is better and there is only one device to keep track of or charged. Its not an everyday thing but still a requirement for me.

Nah, it will just become YOUTUBE SEARCH, YOUTUBEMAIL, YOUTUBECHAT, and YOUTUBEMAPS
