  1. I have only hair metal rock and grunge to blame...
    Same, but different .
    Managed a band for 5+ years & was on stage (& in nightclubs for over 10), never using any protection... it was the 80's / 90's.

    Wasn't a thing for even foamies.

    I have been to an audiologist for testing & they said minor in 1 frequency but overall NBD.

    Wife doesn't believe me & refuses to acknowledge that maybe sometimes she shouldn't be facing the other direction & in a different room.

  2. Trump supporters won’t do shit. They fucked around on Jan 6th and are crying in court rooms asking judges not to send them to prison. They are the definition of all bark no bite.
    My Trumper wife has purchased steaks & other "needs assistance / not canned or freeze dried" food "because what if there is anarchy & societal collapse?" & I remind her that if this happens, electricity will go out & those steaks (that are not at all anything I would have chosen) will go bad in the freezer.

  3. Large hematoma (bruise) on 60% of her back & hemoglobin is a bit low, so trying to get that stabilized. This will probably get her that needed 3 nights in- patient. Rehab will be a skilled facility in Kyle.

    She forgot to bring her CPAP & respiratory brought one to the room. Her home bedside unit is maybe 5" tall, 9" deep × 18× long. The one RT brought is the size of a rollaway tool chest (but probably cost less than a fully stocked Snap-On or Cromwell box).

  4. I wear contacts most of the time because I want to use impact resistant glasses for work stuff (Milwaukee sunglasses).

    That's why I use readers.

    My regular glasses are progressives.
    When the contacts are out & I'm reading stuff via the phone, close stuff like my computer, I just take the glasses off because I don't like that "tilt your head" thing as noted .

  5. Back to the ? about returns, Evike allows RMA's however the gun has to be in 100% pristine / resellable condition.

    Christmas for Monster was __X__ & he actually wanted __Y__ , so I did the RMA thing (shipping was @ my expense).

    He has 2 guns now & I also ordered a pair of Glock 19x's, one for him + one for me. "Green Gas", & that's something I have to do a bit more research on to see how it is different from cO².

    Even though it has been decades since i played competitively, I come from the world of paintball (was a very limited member of a Pro-Am team when I lived in South Florida) & that was 99.9% refillable cO² tanks for my AutoMag.

    Anyhow, as I get deeper into this stuff, I do enjoy the idea of MilSim & themed play vs. simply going out to spray & pray.

    A note for those going electric, pay attention to the batteries & other relateds:

    1. Not all guns come with even a single battery & / or charger. You will probably want 2 batteries so you can charge one while on field with the other.
    1a. As soon as you get to the field, look around for any available receptacle so you can get to that when needed, will not have to track down field staff who may be unavailable or busy, etc.
    2. There are 2 different connectors for the batteries, so pay attention to what you need. If you have the wrong battery for your gun, there ARE adapters to go from A to B, however they may need more battery compartment space than the gun has available.
    3. Weight... the better gun builds aren't only licensed for appearance, they have a solid look / feel / dimensions / weight & you're probably gonna want a sling for lugging that critter around all day.
    4. Magazines... there's a "Mid Cap" & High Cap" variety, "Cap" meaning capacity & that's exactly what it reads, rounds contained.
    & Given the cost for the mags, you won't be reloading & ignoring your empties in the field as though you are on a house - to - house in Bagdad & it's taxpayers footing the bill.

    Also... the gun he got last year had some sort of a technical issue & I had to order a repair part that was supposedly better than the factory guts. The Texas Paintball shop has already installed this item & we are replacing the item they switched in (I am not fully clear on all of the sausage making for that process)..

    PS: There ARE Speedloaders available & the BB's come in a biodegradable product.

    I have only been to play 1× & that was when Monster had a birthday event in Jan '23, so I got in on 2 rounds. For the Austin area, Texas Paintball in Jonestown seems to be the best facility however it's a haul for is driving up from the boonies of Dripping Springs & I don't think many other fields exist around Central Texas. Most only do AirSoft on Sundays or occasional special events, Paintball all other days.
