Stovepipe is when the casing doesn’t eject fully from the rifle after firing and sticks out like a “stovepipe”, jamming the rifle.
In his defense, he didn’t try to shoot the weapon after this. If he had it wouldn’t fire.
I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Stieg Larsson’s Millenium series. I am waiting on The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest to arrive, but I know it won’t take me as long as I want to devour it.
Salander has been the most compelling character I’ve ever read, bar none. Edgy, broken, conflicted, and cool; I am sad that I’ll never be able to turn myself into words on a page and say “I can fix you.”
What author/book/series would y’all recommend I try next with equally cool female characters for me to build an unhealthy attraction to next?
Don’t judge me.
So far I’ve read 7 chapters and my god, it’s so much hornier than The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Everyone is hooking up. Lizbeth, the once brooding and isolated badass, now has breast implants. She’s far more toned down in her seemingly dark and tough self in the past book.
Maybe it’s cultural, maybe it’s her stunted growth as a person, but sleeping with a 16-year-old in the Caribbean really irked me.
She just seems like an entirely different, less-satisfying character.
But altogether, this book reads so much hornier than the last. Wish Larsson jacked-off more when he wrote this.
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - Larsson Stieg
I picked up all 3 today very gladly from half price books. I read Dark Places by Gillian Flynn in about a week, the first book I’ve opened and finished in over a decade possibly.
I have seen TGWTDT film but not Gone Girl if that makes any difference. I plan to read all of these, but if anyone has an opinion on which they’d like me to start with I’m open to suggestions!
I left it in my fridge for a few weeks forgotten. I just remembered I had it and I was thirsty. Bottle was puffy. Opened it to a nice hiss. It’s cold-fermented in my fridge and has turned into an effervescent fruity cocktail.
I’ll reach out to you from the hospital tomorrow ✌️
Edit: still alive. Drank the whole bottle last night. Was not as buzzed as I thought I’d be. As a standard juice I rate it as 3/10 for being too tart to drink straight.
As a fermented beverage I bump it to maybe a 6.5. Still tart and not as boozy as I first thought.
Would I buy again to leave forgotten in my fridge? Probably not this one but maybe one of their other options.
Grip definitely helps a lot. Prism finder is eh, hard to say. It’s dim, heavy, and the light meter button is inconvenient to use.
