  • So I think a blog is a random person's long form articles with their insights, thoughts etc. There were lots of them 10+ years ago but now a lot of good ones can be found in places like substack

    Microblogs are like twitter. Kinda the same concept just in tiny pieces

  • I read a comment that said that Ohio is the US on default and I agree.

    It has a bit of everything. North Coast lakeshore, rivers and wooded hills to the south, open rolling farmland to the west, a national park and biggest cities in the center, factories to the east etc. But it's not "best in class" for any of them

  • I'm relatively new but my latest ride is my new favorite so far!

    It took some driving to get there but it was a park around a reservoir dam. There were dirt trails in the woods, gravel paths curving around the shoreline beaches and small paved roads connecting the quiet (for now) marinas and picnic areas. All with gentle hills to keep things interesting.

  • I agree, especially about how it hones skills that are useful in life beyond hitting a target, but it's not flashy cool gun stuff so they can easily be overlooked. For me I really feel my mind working harder when running a bolt action or doing archery. I think it makes me slow down and make sure each shot counts.

    There's a quote somewhere (I'll edit it in when I find it) that says something like "there is a connection between good citizenship and good marksmanship"

    Edit: Here it is! It's a quote from Jeff Cooper "I have long had a tendency to tie marksmanship to morality. The essence of good marksmanship is self-control, and self-control is the essence of good citizenship. It is too easy to say that a good shot is automatically a good man, but it would be equally incorrect to ignore the connection."

  • I was introduced to archery in early high school! Our gym teacher was an awesome lady (I think she taught youth archery) so she had the stuff on hand and set up a 30 foot range in an "alley" behind some collapsible bleachers in the gymnasium.

    We shot every day for two weeks and it was amazing to see our skills grow before our eyes. The basic firearm safety rules applied. It didn't teach you how to unload and clear a gun of course but bows were a super chill way to learn a kind of marksmanship!

    Have you ever fired a gun? Would you try it if given a chance?

    I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

    UCP/ABU "foliage green" is not a good camo color. It only works best in a very particular setting. Frosty grass.

    Ghost Recon 2001 + Heroes Unleashed Overview

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/28806132

    I've played Ghost Recon on and off since....well forever. I first played it on PS2, and it's the only game to get the honor of first install (and never uninstall) on every PC I've ever owned, paired with the incredible Heroes Unleashed mod. I'm going to try to explain why I still come back to it. I'll take you along with me via screenshots I took over my last few outings.

    First let's set the stage. It's the futuristic year of 2008 and the world teeters on the brink of war. Radical Russian nationalists want to restore the old Soviet Union and invade neighboring Ukraine and Belarus, with Georgia soon to follow. In response the US sends your light infantry special forces unit known as the Ghosts to pull off important missions before and during the impending war. Far fetched I know.
