Does that include gorgeous fast food?  

[Arrlong28 792]

Fast food and "whims" prohibited! I need a new air-conditioning machines before summer... My room in my 1845 home is Very hot in summer (40° celsius).

But yeah, only buy basic needs until March

Something very special arrived at my doorstep!   

Spoiler

I'm surprised there was even a listing for this one in the US, let alone for under $5.

Lots of history is tied to this single, it's out of print, not digitized, and already rare to find at a reasonable price even in the EU and UK where this music drum and bass) had more dominance. 

Also got this from the same seller

Spoiler

"Forgotten" remixes released on Defunked, white label/promo only

 

Just over $10, shipping and taxes included. Impulsive purchase but worth it!

That’s a lot of ammo! Must have cost a pretty penny. Was it plinking ammo or the good stuff?

It's mostly plinking ammunition, and it isn't uncommon for me to fire off 200+ rounds during a range session. Only 40 of the 10mm Auto rounds were higher quality defensive rounds.

That's a lot of shooting! I would love to get some practice in but can't afford the ammo, even the target stuff. Hope you enjoy it!

Dumb question: Do they recycle used ammuniton? That seems like a lot of wasted metal.

I remember something about the military trying to go to another metal (Tungsten, I think.) because lead is so toxic. Of course battlefields will always be an environmental nightmare. Better to just not have wars.

Yesterday I bought a chicken dinner meal with 3 biscuits from Bojangles.  

Let's see you snatch one of the biscuits @Dreambiscuit.

I know that gun ranges often sell the ejected cases (typically brass) for recycling. I am not sure what exactly is done with lead and copper from the bullets themselves. That stuff probably just sits in the backstops at outdoor ranges, but a lot of indoor ranges have some kind of material piled up before the backstop of the range (I have been told that chopped up airplane tires make up part of this material). I do not know of this stuff end up in some kind of trap, or if it can be separated from the material in front of the backstop itself.

I purchased some groceries recently.
