My CQC (Close Quarters Combat) AR-15 build is complete!

Features I added:

* 45 degree angled fore grip
* 45 degree angled backup iron sights
* Sig Sauer MSR red dot reflex sight
* Monstrum 3x flip-to-side magnifier

All in all I love the setup.

My main criticisms are really just two, one purely aesthetic, the other functional. Both of which reside with the Monstrum 3x.

1) The FDE color is off from the standard and looks bad

2) It has a very limited eye-box and thus can be hard to use and may cause issues in a high-stress situation.

Only reason I went with Monstrum here rather than the juliet3 that sig makes for it was because I couldnt find an FDE colored magnifier from Sig... But after seeing the eye box I think I will just order the black one and call it a day. That said if you want to save a little money and are ok with the eye-box the Monstrum is still looking good outside of that. The fact it has diopter adjustment is always nice.

There is a saying in ecology: "All invasive species are non-native. but not all non-native species are invasive"....

Ok then, explain humans!

Oh wow, an interaction on the fediverse where neither side blocked the other... this is new.

In the past I have been quite fruitful with daily challenges. Successfully achieved the 50 day and slowly creeping up on 365 day mark of the (@barefootstache@en.osm.town) with less than a month to go. Thus, I will attempt the daily blogging challenge.

The requirements will be quite simple for the begining and might expand through time:

- It must use `hashtag (XX/YY)` format. This has two benefits:
1. One can follow the hashtag thereby potentialy creating its own atom/rss feed.
2. One can filter out these posts if unwanted.
- It must be post ready before slumber. This puts the focus on writing rather than publishing and gives a grace period if no internet connection.
- If written on mobile, it must be written with the keyboard.
- It must be at least one paragraph or three sentences long.

This challenge was sparked after reading the article

@freemo @trinsec technically one could use the atom (rss) feed integrated in mastodon and one would be none the wiser who is actually reading the not intended newsletter.

Who here has had snapper soup? And no I dont mean the fish, the turtle. I am pretty sure its a local thing you wont find many other places.

@TruthSandwich Ya know what, you are right you convinced me... I will take your suggestion and just vote for Trump... sure he is evil, and horrible, but like you proved it is a two party system, so looks like I will just have to bite the bullet and vote for Trump.

A good way to start a feed on a new social media site is doggo pictures, right?

**CALLING ALL FRIENDS, ADVOCATES, AND ACTIVISTS** A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings. These include hidden razor wire traps, the withholding of water even in extreme heat, and orders to push migrants—including children and infants—back into the Rio Grande where they might drown. The sight of razor wire to corral innocent human beings has echoes for me personally, when similar wire surrounded the Japanese American internment camps of my youth. We cannot let Governor Greg Abbott get away with this. I'm calling on you, my friends, advocates and activists, to help put a stop to this by signing the petition demanding the Biden Administration puts an end to these inhumane practices against migrants in Texas.

2) wait until you have at least 1000 unread emails
3) select "mark all as read"

Im increasingly wondering, would I be aware of all the political view that could possibly exist, if birdsite wasnt adamant about shoving the worst of the far left or right in my face?

I really dont think about politics that much, as Im an artist and musician. Maybe an Neurosymbolic dev.

Man, turkey, plus hot pepper cheese, plus bacon with some mayo on a jalapeno cheese bagel is.... woa that was good! Not bad for a cold sandwich at home.
