I might live in an ex Yugo shithole, but at least we have neighborhood stray and outdoor cats to pet and play with, which brightens up the mood.

Two sister cats got their own kittens earlier this year (themselves being kittens of a friendly black cat that likes to groom my hair) which made it even better.
>>
They look like nice cats, maybe you could build them a little hut or give them toys to play with. I'm not sure what happens over there but maybe you could take to the humane society to get some of the spayed/neutered if you're worried about a population problem which happens sometimes
>>
It is not a shithole, shouldn't call your home a shithole. I have been homeless, glad to have four walls and food, water, let alone electricity and internet.

Cats cost food to take care of, if they are not spayed or neutered they will have kittens, many street cats live on garbage and such. Meat is their favorite, especially fish or canned food.

There is a small town here that had way too many feral cats, the local govt said they would do something but didn't do anything, so some old ladies spayed the cats and got in trouble with the govt kek.

Do the people living where you are generally like stray cats or do they consider them pests?

Slowly losing my mind from having been cooped up for so long. Everything in my area (including all parks and nature walks) are incredibly far apart because I'm in FUCKING America, and I unfortunately don't yet have the funds to afford a car, which combined with public transport here being pretty piss, means I'm a bit SOL if I want to go anywhere.

So, I've been thinking about what alternatives I might have; what do you guys use to get around? Bicycles, scooters, rollerskates/blades, skateboards maybe? Or even heelies/flip-out skates so you can finally live your dream of being the coolest kid in middle school? What do you do when you need to carry a bunch of crap along with you as well?

Doubletake adventure mirrors. Mounts up with standard ram-mount hardware, replace the factory mirrors with a ram ball and install the mirrors on that.
Busted an oem mirror off in a stupid tip-over offroad, a single replacement mirror cost more than the entire doubletake kit did. And this shit's taken a lot more abuse.

Another 230 mile day on that bike today. Had to run out to a customer's site and do some diagnosis/repairs on their hardware.

The rubber-coated balls will smoosh and fall apart if you crank down on them too hard. The poly ones do better, but they'll slip more than the rubber ones do. Some guys have had luck smearing some RTV or roughing the balls up with sandpaper to get them to hold better.

I don't crank down on them super-tight, just enough to hold, and i've got about 20k miles on the ones on my adventure, and another 5-6k on the ones on my dirt bike.

A small bit of loctite (i'm partial to orange, stuff's designed for powersports use) on the ball threads helps a lot too.

how do i not be scared of wasps? I keep freezing in fear around them. Outside is ok because i can avoid them, walk the other way if i see one coming, but if one gets stuck in a room where i have to be im a complete pussy about it. I can't help it, its a crippling fear, it was so much worse as a kid too growing up in a woodsy state that had them swarming all over the place. I rarely ever went outside back then or went out looking like Kenny with a giant coat in summer to protect me. I would notice the nests in every window at school. We had an above ground pool at home and they'd swarm all over that making it unusable by me. I remember trying baseball and not being able to stay on the bases over it. Even if I left them alone they'd chase me down. I only got stung twice but still.

I'm afraid of everything about them, the stinging that one can do multiple times without dying, the way they fly, the sound they make, their aggression, the way if you kill one (which i never have, I've never been chad that successfully throws the bottle and saves the classroom at school) it releases pheromones to summon others, wondering if every wall secretly is containing nests where they can break through the wall, seeing their shadows moving with those dangling legs zigzagging behind a curtain, even looking at one in a picture gives me pause and goosebumps. They're like little alien eldritch monsters. I may confuse some bees for wasps/hornets/yellowjackets, its hard to tell when they're flying. Pretty sure yellows are the ones that zigzag and stay close to the ground, zooming round your legs, wasps have the long legs, hornets are like giant black flying ants with the biggest sphere nests, and bees are fuzzy and less aggressive but may still steal your girl and doom the human race.

"Stings of Fury"

[Verse]
Buzz in the air hive in the sky
Wasp is a king I'm asking why
Basedboy's scared trembling near
Mighty hornet brings the fear

[Verse 2]
Ruthless machines no mercy shown
Basedboy's shiver down to the bone
Hive on the hunt no place to hide
Stinger strikes deep poison inside

You mention how you can ignore them if they're outside. Just do the same thing inside. The wasp is concerned with wasp concerns, not you.
Option 1: Go calmly open a window/door that it can leave through
Option 2: Take it outside yourself. You can trap it inside a cup with some paper or whatever and then carry it outside, or you can bait it by putting some raw meat into the cup, and then taking it outside once the wasp is chewing on the meat.

Rules to not get stung:
Don't fuck with the nest.
Don't fuck with the shit around the nest.
Don't fuck with the scout checking you out even if it's in your personal space.
It's that easy to not get stung.

I have off of work for almost two weeks, was considering a road trip but I haven't decided on where to go and am running out of time. I live in the rust belt, have thought about heading east to New England and Acadia or out west to Glacier National Park. Any recommendations, feedback, or ideas? Wish I took the time to plan out more but here we are

there's plenty to do in ME, NH and VT for a two week trip. not sure what part of the rust belt you live in, but you could also loop in the adirondacks and lake champlain on the way there and back as well.

i live in NH, let me know what you like to do in particular and i can make some more specific suggestions

>>
>>2757969
Hit Portland on the way up or back if you like good food and beer, so many great restaurants and breweries there. Portsmouth NH is also a great spot for seafood and has lots of colonial/federal architecture and history.

Acadia will probably be extremely busy, especially on weekends. I would hike/visit there on weekdays to cut down on the crowds. Pick up any supplies you need in Ellsworth on the way in. Definitely do a sunrise hike/drive up Cadillac Mountain as its the first place in America to see the sunrise this time of year. Jordan Pond is another beautiful but busy short hike worth doing. A loop on the Great Head trail is nice and will get you a good sense of the Maine coast. Also be sure to visit the "quiet" western side of the island where most locals and fishermen live. Bass Harbor light and Ship Harbor are very scenic and don't get the same level of crowd that Bar Harbor does.

Baxter State Park and Mount Katahdin are only about 2.5 hours away from Acadia. Great place to see wildlife, especially moose. Katahdin is (IMO) the best hike in New England, but be advised if you want to hike it you either need a reservation (which are tough to get) or you'll need to show up at 5AM at the gate and wait til 7AM when the rangers start letting folks take no-show's spots (pretty much always guaranteed). Baxter is also awesome for fishing and camping if you're into that.

I can’t for the life of me find a good series of online and free atlases for the Pacific Northwest.
I’m trying to collage several of them together to make a map for a project.
To my annoyance, Google Maps and Google Earths’ curvature means the snips I take don’t line up.
And all the free atlases are these tiny jpegs scanned from ancient books since they are the only ones not under copyright.

The jackpot would be good scans of the Nat Geo wall posters. But I’ll settle for something that has terrain and roads on them.

As much as you can take with you without it being a pain in the ass is my guess. If you're out hiking for a week that's fuck all, if you're driving to the place you can take a bunch of stuff with you but it's going to have diminishing returns pretty fast. More crap to clean up and so on. A big tent is good for family camping.

Sure, if it's too heavy to carry innawoods it's probably at that limit, although I would generally say that the experience is made up more importantly of other things, like disconnecting from electronics, remoteness from other people, and extended exposure to the open sky. Sleeping in a foot-access primitive log cabin that is a hundred miles from the nearest settlement is still a great experience.

This might be verging on off topic but does anyone else love seeing what kind of gaming set ups they can pull off with a low budget and low weight? There's just something about hooking up a tiny computer screen in a cabin with no sound or scuffed sound that makes the experience way more enjoyable than just using the TV at home.
