This embarrassment to the human race is unironically listening to crabcore. These dumbasses listening to metalcore like 14yr old emos from 2010 adds a new layer of funny to the whole thing.

Typically if you're going to use a longer barrel you intend to shoot longer distances, and you'd want an optic with some magnification.

I think the magnification could still be a convenience at ranges an 18" barrel can manage on an AR.

Oh yes and the rare earth minerals necessary for solar panels are completely not a thing, huge portions of the Third World are not poisoned by the slave labor required to mine them. Shit like this doesn't exist.

I guess it's okay if it only happens in chink world though.

For those who want to see more, just...pick a rare earth mine, any rare earth mine, and do an image search. Nickel is also a pretty nasty one to mine.

This would actually be helped by recycling, except...well, look up the city in China that does electronics recycling. Europe's solution is their standard "Dump it on brown people." (And if we mined it locally, it'd cost more but would be less likely to leave a place an environmental disaster.)

Plus all of this drives the costs up, so it's a form of both watermelon virtue signaling (as in, Green outside, Red/communist inside) and conspicuous consumption, because the peasants cannot afford this shit.

Hilariously, the troons would likely have to actively try to wreck that piece of land harder than any of the above would.

...and, a well-designed modern nuclear plant would be better for the environment if it wasn't for the fact that you are all suggesting this bunch of clowns run it. I'm not sure they could even set up a pinwheel right, never mind something more technically advanced, and the site's only 36 acres. Their fucking up a nuclear setup would not be contained to their land.

...and, a well-designed modern nuclear plant would be better for the environment if it wasn't for the fact that you are all suggesting this bunch of clowns run it.

Yes, we all believe it is quite plausible for these people to acquire and run a nuclear power plant from their location in the hinterlands of Colorado. We were not at all joking, and certainly we did not think that they would wind up spewing more radiation and toxicity than their axe wounds.

 

[Miss Misery]

Eh...There are plenty of grizzlies in Oregon where I was camping. Terrifying land sharks and I saw them without all the fuzz for the first time this year. They look so odd when you imagine the grizzly and picture what they look like in Alaska. They look alot slimmer like a brown polar bear in Oregon (in the summer)

The last brown bear in Oregon was killed in 1931. You are just seeing brown-colored black bears.

You were, it's some of the others I'm not so sure about given that they seemed pretty enthusiastic about the Tranch going down because of them fucking up the reactor and spewing more radiation and toxicity than their axe wounds.

I've read through what happens when you combine people with...possibly more (but not much more) brains than the Tranchers and radioactivity, and it's not pretty when you're reading (and understanding) the reports that get into technical details about the injuries and deaths. Especially since the only thing that would particularly prevent some people setting a small modular reactor up in the hinterlands of Colorado is getting the various environmental agencies to stop clutching their pearls...

One of the selling points of the Tranch was that it already had a solar/wind setup, appropriately sized for normal house occupancy and a reasonably-sized farm; enough for that and the well. I don't think the trancheros have ever breathed the word "sustainability," but it makes sense for living somewhere with extreme weather and less access to public utilities.

What's amusing to me is that it's not even an issue of installing a solar setup that will be the thing to fix every single one of their problems forever. They need to repair something that was working OK before, to maintain a reasonable standard of living. Instead, they've decided to buy emergency generators like they're disposable and burn through gasoline. The cash infusion didn't make them stop to think about infrastructure, just shiny toys and expansion.

(Meanwhile Kevryn, whose daily existence has nothing to to do with farming or ranching and might as well be taking place in a suburb, bitches about the power being erratic and immediately goes on to spend hundreds on plastic robots rather than invest in fixing their system or even cracking a FAQ about it.)

Anyway, I'm waiting for the septic tank saga, because there's no way they're going to remember to get it pumped out often enough for how many people they have there. I was going to say something about at least they won't have anyone flushing tampons, but honestly...

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

People who own this kind of shit and virtue signal about it seem to think electricity just somehow magically emerges from a vacuum. In reality, it comes from a gas or nuclear or even coal-fired electric plant. And any time you turn one kind of energy into another, you lose some of it. So like it or not, you are burning some fucking coal when you use electricity, however cute the vehicle you do it with is. You are consooming some fissionables. You are burning some methane. Your fancy-ass elite electric vehicle is spewing carbon whether you admit it or not.

See: the Grand German Retardation of closing all nuclear plants post-Fukushima. Because earthquakes and tsunamis are both very frequent in continental Europe.
Most of what they have now is renewables, with coal plants providing base load. When their grid reaches peak load they transfer the surplus to the surrounding countries since one of the main problems with renewables is storage.

All these make German electricity very expensive since the state needs to subsidize their renewables industry.

These trannies should just make their own nuclear reactor tbh

And use Kev's Am Hole gunk as fuel?

If you have too many mountain lions+not enough mountain lion noms in an area, 'too big' shifts into 'more noms.' We're also just plain shitty eating, which is a huge part of why it's generally safe to assume any large predator that goes after humans is hungry and/or old.

"You have met my jest with Autism, and now I meet your autism with that of my own."

Unless cornered/threatened, Mountain Lions will not attack anything bigger than I believe it was 6 feet because it is just not worth their time. Mountain Lions are fast-strike one-hit ambush predators. They lack the endurance for extended chase and the size and power to brawl with anything other than another Mountain Lion. So going after anything big is a very bad risk-reward situation as even if you win, you will likely be too injured for burst hunting and end up dying anyway. Mountain Lions will move to a different area before they'd get desperate enough to take on larger prey.

This burst speed is why they love hitting pets and small kids. They are perfect size to get a dehabiliting, shocking-inducing first strike on and then drag off into the woods to finish off later.

Most big cats have a prey size limit; the exceptions being African Lions (which still have a maximum size they will go after solo; but in a pride they ill view anything upto Elephant size as valid prey ) And Tigers, but this is a technicality because tigers are big enough to take down anything smaller than an elephant, and are built to brawl. Also technically jaguars who when they get into the mood are skull-biting murder machines that kill for fun. Leopards top out a just around human size if they can get them unaware from above.

The Mountain Lion size limit didn't come out of no where. The average full-grown mountain lion weighs 66 lbs kg. If you are an adult and not a twig-arm, you can fuck up a mountain lion if it doesn't get your neck; an unarmed jogger killed a mountain lion with his bare hands. Now the mountain lion has big teeth and sharp claws, it is going to fuck you up right back sure, but a scrawny manlet jogger ended its shit and was in good enough shape to jog several more miles to go get help.

tl;dr: Manlet spotted.
Mountain lions are unlikely to be able to thin the adult Alpaca population (do Alpacas sleep laying down?), will definitely help themselves to calves.

Not a Manlet. (For one, that'd require I be a man, and I thought I'd been clear enough about that.) I also do this thing called 'read.'

Humans are fucking lousy eating. It doesn't matter what height a human is, we're shit eating. This is literally why most predators don't normally bother and why the majority of attacks are by either starving or old individuals who can't catch shit that's better eating. They won't even particularly bother with children, unless kid wants a Darwin real bad.

Note I didn't specifically say cougar. This is because this applies to fucking everything. Tigers, lions, bears, wolves, you name it. Under normal circumstances, there's prey with lower risk and better pay-off.

Now that I've got that re-covered for you, have you actually paid attention to some of the shit that's happened with Cali's mountain lion population? They protected the mountain lions, so the population exploded, but...much like the Tranchers, they forgot something super-important.

"What is our newly-expanded population of animals going to eat?"

You're right, they're ambush predators. They go straight for the kill, actually; the reason that particular jogger survived starts with that particular mountain lion having missed that strike and the rest comes from the mountain lion not opting to just GTFO, which means that cat was probably starving. Other joggers, some of them full-grown adults? Mountain lion that got them didn't miss that first strike. (I think California did realize somewhere in all of this that maybe a cull was in order.)

Also, given the calculations on the amount of food they've got for the alpaca and the alleged size of the herd, no predator is likely to bother with either the adult or calves unless they're desperate. If anybody on the Tranch has meat on their bones, it's the troons. Apparently they did actually do the fucking insane shit that is sheering your herd right before winter, though, so between that and the extermination camp rations, the herd's probably getting thinned already--starvation and cold weather, and probably disease too. Maybe generalized neglect, too, and all the sorts of ills that come from too many animals in too little space.

Honestly, I'll not be surprised if after a while, alpaca get seen and mentioned less and less, until one day they claim that OH NOES EARL KILLED THEM ALL and set up a GFM to cover buying new alpaca...

That mountain lion was in Colorado. Which while its is becoming full of Californian transplants, that does not yet extend to the large felines. The biologist guess was likely the jogger surprised the mountain lion; it was not malnourished.

Humans don't taste bad, we taste unfamiliar and we're not very nutritious; tl;dr is Humans are non-obligate carnivores with a supplementary and/or vestigial fruit diet (which is why we can't make out our own vitamin c) which means we don't have a lot of the nutrients that carnivores crave. But unfamiliar is not bad.
Case in point: one of the few cases of non-disabled man-eaters was the Tsavo Man-eaters, a pair of lions who likely developed a taste for humans due to scavenging incomplete cremations.
India had several leopards who racked up dozens of human kills because of the lack of will to exterminate the beasts. Once the british arrived the numbers of man-eaters dropped precipitously as they got colonized with lead; one of the most famous was discovered to have had an abscessed tooth. It could only kill soft targets (humans) and only eat the squishiest bits, requiring several kills to get enough food.

Once a predator develops a taste for humans, it is likely to re-predate and that is why almost anything that attacks people has to be put down. The fact predators don't like us is due to 10,000 years of revenge killing anything that attacked another human. Anything big that did like to eat people got darwined until the only surviving ones where the ones that leaned to eating us was a bad idea.

And California hasn't and never will realize shit. They refuse to allow the culling of the feral house cat population despite them joy-murdering the state's endangered populations of "anything smaller than a housecat". The tree huggers also refuse to allow the culling of feral boar which are destroying the state's forests.

Regardless, please educate yourself about the lethality of mountain lions since you claim the ability to read english.

You need to keep an eye on your kids around mountain lions, sort of like with troons.

Can you point me to a post in which someone was unironically enthusiastic about this idea?

 

[Nothing To See Here]

I can't really tell what Bonnie's mom was like from the info we have, but this is the one area I'm going to grant him she might be a giant narcissist. They make for shitty moms and will do shit like cosign for your dumb ranch so they can use it as leverage elsewhere. On the other hand, people throw the concept of narc moms around like they do the phrase "gaslighting" with no grasp of what the clinical definitions actually look like. Its equally possible Bonnie's mom just tells him the truth and thats too much for our delicate boy.

Bonnie's mum stayed married to and continued to house his dad, Luis H. Mendoza, who is a convicted pedo on the sex offender's register for repeatedly diddling his 7yo niece, so... Take from that what you will re: her personality. She's also apparently rich as fuck though, so Bonnie should really be keeping his amhole shut and making nice til she dies (especially given he was apparently happy to forgive his pedo father), whatever she's like as a person.

I wanted to double check this. It sounds like the average mountain lion in Peru is 66 lbs (This is the only link where I could find 66 lbs), where in North America they're often quite a bit larger (link)

It's also worth mentioning that the jogger in that story killed a 4-5 month old kitten, that wouldn't have been larger than 40 pounds (link)

Mountain lions will absolutely kill Alpacas as well, and appear to make the news when they kill a large number of them at once (California attack, Washington attack, Colorado attack 1, Colorado attack 2). It may be worth noting that the tranch is in Southern CO (at least the office is), and while mountain lions are found there most of the attacks on people or livestock I see were in Northern CO, mainly around the Ft Collins area.

There sure are a lot of troons with child molesters and/or other sex perverts in their life from an early age. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence. After all, we know it would be transphobic to suggest that childhood sexual trauma is what made them decide they're girls and have all these weird fetishes.

 

[Iron Hamster]

For those who want to see more, just...pick a rare earth mine, any rare earth mine, and do an image search. Nickel is also a pretty nasty one to mine.

This would actually be helped by recycling, except...well, look up the city in China that does electronics recycling. Europe's solution is their standard "Dump it on brown people." (And if we mined it locally, it'd cost more but would be less likely to leave a place an environmental disaster.)

Plus all of this drives the costs up, so it's a form of both watermelon virtue signaling (as in, Green outside, Red/communist inside) and conspicuous consumption, because the peasants cannot afford this shit.

Hilariously, the troons would likely have to actively try to wreck that piece of land harder than any of the above would.

Not a rare earth mine but Picher, Ok

One of the selling points of the Tranch was that it already had a solar/wind setup,

A couple observations. Looking at the sell pics, there's like 2 Harbor Freight 100w solar kits on the rape shed and not a wind turbine in sight.
Also, look at the sell pics and compare them to all the shit they've filled that house with in recent pics. yikes.

 

[Coccxys]

They're probably the kind of dipshits that think the rating per area of solar panel is what it puts out not an ideal scenario and having to take into account things like angle projections for the insolation.

You could quite comfortably run a single dwelling on a decent solar set up as long as you're willing to forgo such things as a gaming rig, TV in every room etc. It's just not a practical solution if they want the same lifestyle as living in an urban environment and definitely isn't a practical solution for charging an ev.

The mountain lion you're speaking of weighed 40 lbs and was a starving orphaned kitten.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...d-colorado-jogger-was-orphaned-kitten-n978126

Full-grown mountain lions average about 66 KILOS, not pounds, which is 150lbs, and males can weigh up to 220lbs.

tl:dr Sorry you're too fat for a mountain lion to attack.

P.S. California is very generous with boar tags. They're just a bitch and a half to hunt. But tasty as fuck.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...d-colorado-jogger-was-orphaned-kitten-n978126

from your own article:
"was hungry but not starving"

But the jogger was also an ottermode twink. Adult humans are too big for prey, but the right size for a territorial threat and/or threat to kittens.

Full-grown mountain lions average about 66 KILOS, not pounds, which is 150lbs, and males can weigh up to 220lbs.

I wanted to double check this. It sounds like the average mountain lion in Peru is 66 lbs (This is the only link where I could find 66 lbs), where in North America they're often quite a bit larger (link)

Sorry from my time working for the European Space Agencies I had forgotten how to convert freedom units to metric and vice versa.
Still, what sort of scrawny pencil net pointdexter couldn't bench a 66kg cougar?
...oh, right.

California is very generous with boar tags[/URL]. They're just a bitch and a half to hunt. But tasty as fuck.

Like most states with feral boars, they are generous with tags but unlike Texas where you can go to war on coyotes & boar, California does everything in its power to prevent effective hunting, and refuses to allow their forest service to do a proper cull.

Mountain lions will absolutely kill Alpacas as well, and appear to make the news when they kill a large number of them at once (California attack, Washington attack, Colorado attack 1, Colorado attack 2). It may be worth noting that the tranch is in Southern CO (at least the office is), and while mountain lions are found there most of the attacks on people or livestock I see were in Northern CO, mainly around the Ft Collins area.

> CA #1 - Doesn't say if it was adults or juveniles.
> WA #1- Doesn't say if it was adults, implies they were since Husbandry practices not being an attractant were mentioned. (interestingly, that one was 135-pounds; also "commercial producers are only eligible for reimbursement from a cougar attack if they lose horses, cattle, sheep or guard dogs")
> CO #1 - Llamas. Those furry assholes had it coming. (Close enough, Though much like our CO troons this guy had a "fuck having shelter for my animals" attitue; seems to be a running theme)
> CO attack #2: Only killed goats per article. Farm also had alpacas; possibly alpacas were attacked.

Seems like Alpacas/Llamas don't handle stress well, as a llama death was attributed solely to stress.

So at least some mountain lions will kill Alpacas. I guess close enough to deer they'll go try to mess with them. So there is hope for mother nature rectifying the over crowding at the ranch.
