I saw it at GroceryOutlet, picked it up to inspect it, put it back, picked it up again, put it back, then said to myself "Quit being a dumbass. It's fucking $1.50. If it sucks, you aren't gonna starve without the money".

So that's what I did, Just had some on cheese/crackers. It's interesting. Definitely tastes Italian. The chili has a very dry heat, which I like. It also tastes like tomato, which I don't so much. What's weird about that is there's no tomato in it. I guess it's the citrus fiber(whatever the fuck that is)? It only has four ingredients.

I think I'll get more when I go back. It's a little different, and cheap enough. The tube's also kind of cool. Works great for cheese/crackers. Putting food in tubes is weird. Seems to popular in Germany too. Would be fun giving it to your illiterate kid for toothpaste :^D

If you could manage to relabel that so it looks like Polysporin, could have lot of fun with that.

Well I just ordered some candy for Halloween from Amazon, along with one of their key lime pies and a pack of cherry creme Pepsi. I wish there was an easy way to share a cart/order, like just a link. Like with PCpartpicker.

2 used HGST Ultrastar 14TB HDD. Cost 50% more than the 12tbs I got a year ago


Oh and a bunch of ESP32-CAM

Edit. Got my ESP32-CAMs. Ordered on 21st, arrived today. Not bad for free shipping from HK.

Bought a bag of halloween candy. $9.99 for the mix bite size candies. Was going to just buy a candy bar but damn, $2.49? Wasn't even the king size. Bought the bag and will leave it in the office for staff.

We (as in not me) prepare loot bags, put them on the porch with a sign that says please help yourself to a bag.

U-sain' you're a bolt fan?

 

[lxskllr]

I'm actually not a big fan of throwing plastic all over the place, but I've been breaking/losing bolts at an alarming rate. I'm hoping the colored plastic will be easier to find, and the mono construction holds up better. I may still make my own bolts out of wood & feather, but this will buy me some time til I have to commit. I also have 6 broadhead bolts. I'm saving those for an as yet undefined special occasion.

Oh, and this is my bolt container...



It's my old water bottle I used to take ww canoeing. It's been beat to shit, but held up just as well as nalgene at a fraction of the price. Even came with free gatorade!

Looks like fun, might have to get into that myself at some point, could setup a range on my property.

A short review of the plastic bolts if anyone cares...

I got to spend some time with these today. It was windy out, and I think that affected the flight, but I also think these are less accurate than aluminum bolts. They're very light. They hold up pretty well. Shooting into cardboard, they come out in one piece. I took a couple shots at a dead pine stem @ 60'. The bolts buried into the wood 15mm, and the plastic bodies popped off. I had to use pliers to extract the tips, and was able to put them back together. Lost 2 bolts when then buried into the ground at a shallow angle. Even the bright colors aren't enough for some things.

For screwing around plinking, these are a pretty good deal, but I wouldn't adjust the sights using these bolts. They're very cheap, and pretty durable. For srs bsns, stick to aluminum. It flies straighter, and has more weight behind it for a harder punch.
