Brown snake or Garter snake???

Caught this guy half dead in my basement. Triangular shape of death & emaciated etc.

He's missing a significant part of his tail from some issue that happened previously. Seems to be healing ok as he's shedding & eating for us.

We've been feeding him worms which he readily takes. Cute little snake that's got a wonderful personality to deal with.

I'm a snake owner of blood python, ball python, rat snake, & a Water Cobra so I'm in the snake-keeping game for 2 decades + at this point.

I'm looking to keep this guy as I have my doubts he'll be ok in the wild with his tail missing, but I want to identity what species he's is.

I'm guessing he's a Dekay’s brownsnake or Garter snake? Can anybody definitively say what he is?

Any help & suggestions with keeping?

Taurus PT-22 firing pin replacement question

I picked this up with a broken firing pin.

I'm replacing the broken Taurus PT-22 firing pin with an Anarchy Outdoors brand pin. You can see in the one pic that the black original is missing the tip & the metal colored one has the firing pin tip.

My question is some people claim that their firing pin needed filed down because it stuck out too much after installation. This was causing their rounds to be fired off after dropping the slide closed etc.

I can't find where people are saying the spot to file to is.

Another pic shows my firing pin sticking all the way out because I'm pushing on the other end to simulate the hammer hitting it & the other pic shows the firing pin with no applied pressure, just the spring pressure.

My firing pin is almost flush with the slide surface in my case. I can barely feel it sticking out with my fingernail. I mean it's barely a splinter sticking out.

To where do I need to file this firing pin? Should it be flush with the slide surface? Slightly filed under it?

How to perform duplicate actions on multiple PDF files

I know someone who has to write THOUSANDS of duplicate things in PDF files weekly.

For example they'll have to sign their name, date, & other things of that nature that repeat.

They get the PDF files, print them, & hand write these things out. So the files already have different data in them, they now need signed, dated, & other repeated inputs added to each one of them.

There has to be an easier way. If these were in Excel or Word, I'd look into VBA to try to solve some of these things, but with a PDF, how would I try to automate at least some of these redundant things??? Can I create a program or a script?

Take pretty much EVERY SINGLE R&B song.

You got these cheeseball ass dudes just saying some dirty ass shit in a song & your girl is there driving along singing about his dick all up in her ass all night long! What‽‽‽

I mean if you were sitting there in a restaurant with your girl, & cheeseball comes in & starts saying:

"Throw your clothes (throw your clothes) On the floor (on the floor) I'm gonna take my clothes off too I've made plans to be with you (Girl, whatever you ask me you know I can do)”

You'd have a serious issue with that. So how is this that much different than her singing with some other guy, albeit on the radio, talking about doing that shit to her?

It's at minimum, disrespectful as shit to your man right???

For men, there's no music that's pretty much some hoe talking about sucking your dick & there's your man singing about this tramp blowing him all night! You females would shit over that!

So how is that ok? Ladies help me understand this lol?

Got my StackChan. Got it up & running with the stock firmware.

So let me ask some questions to those of you who know:

-If I want to integrate this with my online devices in my house, I have to download the "Home Assistant" app right?

-Can I just install this Home Assistant app on my android phone only? (I'd like to keep control on my phone if possible.)

-Is the next step to: Flash your Stack-Chan using ESPHome Web to make it discoverable within Home Assistant?

-Now can I have the same devices controlled through my Alexa ALSO controlled on my StackChan or does this mess things up & it's either Alexa or Home Assistant?

Anything else that I'm missing to control lights & other devices etc?

Thanks for your help. I'm on the low end of learning how these things work & I appreciate any insight into this all.
