Help me settle this cause apparently the wildlife son doesn't know more than the non-wildlife father. This snake was found again at the house after they chased it away a few days ago and almost killed it before I persuaded them not to.

Dot and magnifier or LPVO and top/canted micro dot?

I'm getting my first 300blk gun soon and I'm trying to make the hard decision of picking either a red dot and magnifier combo or LPVO and side or top mounted micro dot. The gun itself is a 8.5in Jakl and I have a suppressor for it. I don't yet know if I want to only shoot subs or supers yet, but I know I will be shooting both. I don't care for CQB stuff much so this is mostly going to be a hunting/plinking set up. Coming from 5.56 guns and hunting caliber bolt actions, I'm used to only shooting LPVOs and the like, and sticking with consistent high velocity loads. Hunting in Florida is typically constricted to 200-300yds absolute maximum and averages 100yds cause of woodlines and the lack of elevation. I really like the idea of an lpvo again but I don't think it's practical for this gun. I like PA's prism optics but I fear being stuck at 3x magnification all the time. I also like the idea of a red dot and a magnifier, but what if I really do need 6x magnification to hit a hog?

What's the typical waiting time for form 4's?

I just bought my first suppressor on Tuesday and was hoping I'd be approved by tomorrow afternoon to go shoot hogs this weekend with it since I saw the average wait time can be about 5 days. What timelines have you guys been seeing recently for individual transfers? This is more of a hopium question but also genuinely curious if SS's approximation is correct.

Would anyone be able to load a specific round for me?

I do not have the means to do it myself and I don't personally know anyone who does. I'm looking to put .277 Fury ball/FMJ in .270 Winchester brass. Only because 270 win ball ammo is not commercially available as far as I'm aware and I'm curious to see how it will perform.

What set(s) are these from?

I can't figure out which set these specific knights are from. Not even Gemini is able to tell me.

Is it possible to find or load .270 Win FMJ rounds?

My hunting rifle is in 270 and I would like to be more effective with making collateral shots on hogs off feeders. SP and HP factory loads just don't quite have enough energy and speed once it passes through the first hog to effectively take down the second one.

y'all some fuckin cry babies I swear

Claim paperwork submitted to John Hancock more than 15 business days ago, no response

Hi everyone. My family has been fighting to get my grandfathers life insurance payout for almost a year now. My dad (head of estate) filed all the necessary paperwork months ago and gave me instructions on how to submit my beneficiary claim. I mailed them my paperwork to their PO box in Boston, Massachusetts on May 19th. From what I've read, insurance companies in MA have 15 days to notify beneficiaries receipt of claims submitted to them, and 30 days to pay out after notification, otherwise beneficiaries are due interest. I haven't gotten a phone call, text, email, or physical piece of mail saying they have it. Since its been much longer than 15 business days from May 19th, what actions can I take to put pressure on them to finally pay us out? One of my cousins also submitted their claim the same way much sooner than I did and still hasn't heard back either.

Wanting to offload these

The gummies are a brute and an EVA Spartan. Very sad about the hunter's arm, no idea when it broke but I imagine someone can glue it back together if they need to, same with the elites head. I might keep a grunt and master chief, maybe a hayabusa. If anyone is interested, DM me. If anyone has a price in mind, let me know here. I'm wanting to keep it whole rather than sell separately.

Any time I try to post a Facebook Marketplace or eBay listing or something similar, I go to add pictures, but those apps only show me the pictures that I've taken with the phone and will not show me my entire Google Photos gallery, or even let me explore other files/apps. It's drawing from my phone's files instead of Google Photos, which I find weird because Google Photos should already be the primary source for my images. It does the same for Instagram when sending someone a picture or posting something, but Google Messages draws from the Photos app. I went into the settings and permissions for Photos and I can't find anything to allow other apps to draw from it. I did the same for both the Android and Google File apps and they don't have anything either.

Do I have to go through each app individually and change them to draw from Photos or is there an easier way?

Part of my issue is that I can't access my old Galaxy because it won't take a charge and gets stuck in a power on/off cycle while it's on a charger, so I can't get my pictures that are saved on that phone onto my new Pixel. Luckily I pay the $2 a month for Google's extra storage and back everything up on there.

The games im specifically trying to play with these headphones are Halo Infinite and the MCC. I played Reach late last night and audio would stay 2 channel for a minute after switching my windows settings mono audio on and off. In Infinite, there's no change and it's always stuck on single channel. This is my first time playing with Bluetooth earbuds so idk what I'm really doing. I read that it might be because of the microphones on the earbuds so I turned off audio input in control panel but that also made no change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because this is driving me crazy.

Since I don't have any checks from SoFi because I'll likely never need a check from SoFi, I don't have any to give to my new employers HR department, but their alternative is a document of direct deposit verification. I have no clue how to find this and none of my previous employers ever needed any because my account and routing numbers were good enough. What should I do or where should I look for said documents?
