  • In the USA and (most, if not all of) Canada, calling 211 should connect you with a call center which can give information on food benefits, utility assistance and other resources available in your area. Eligibility and the amount of assistance (whether in the form of direct payments, food items or a payment card that only works for food) will vary based on your location, income, etc. but it may help offset those increased costs.

    There’s no shame in it despite what the red-hat golden bootstraps crowd will tell you. Times are tough right now for a lot of people and that’s what these programs are for.

    Back to the regularly scheduled shitposting though.







  • I can see the bend @[email protected] is talking about but I think that’s just an effect from the camera. I’m sure there’s some flexing going on but it probably looks worse than it is, hard to say without better-quality footage.

    Here are some of the frames showing the rifle at different points from just prior to the impact to immediately after landing on the ground. You can see what looks like a significant amount of bending across the whole rifle at impact +2 frames. At +13 and +14, there’s a decent view of the barrel and it doesn’t show any deformation. I don’t think the forces involved here are enough to damage the barrel but could always drop a cleaning rod through it before attempting to fire.
