Gunpocalypse Passes in California
Discussion in 'Camp Wordforge' started by Paladin, Jul 1, 2016.
Paladin Overjoyed Man of Liberty
There is no 2nd Amendment in California, anymore.
The following were just signed by the governor:
All semi-autos with detachable magazines are assault weapons that must be registered, cannot be transferred, and can only be handled under highly restrictive conditions.
All >10 round magazines are now illegal to possess and must be surrendered or removed from the state.
Ammunition can no longer be purchased over the internet or from out of state. You also have to get a background check to buy ammunition.
And a bill working its way through will formally close the door to CCW in the half the state where it's possible to do so.
I'm done with this state. I am officially looking for a new home elsewhere.

Well, time to load up a crate of AR-15's and head west, I'm thinking $30,000 per rifle, $300 per 30 round mag and $10 per bullet.
TheBurgerKing, Jul 1, 2016
I just ordered a case of 5.56mm. I'll order a case of another caliber next month. And so on until the law takes effect.
I had an opportunity to buy a S&W M&P 10 a month or so back for about $1400. I'm really regretting not buying it now. I bet it's going to be over $2K now.

And the gun crime rate will plummet! Al the gang-bangers and car- jackers and store armed robbers and all manner of violent felons will stop their evil ways. The police will take to carrying billy-clubs because without these specific weapons the bad guys are out of business and safe as newborn kittens! Oh what a glorious day! All Californians can live in peace & harmony from here on out! Garamet & Dinner can put away their sack-cloth and ashes now, their time of tribulation is over now!

Really? I thought this meant that all freedoms are immediately abolished and the government has turned into a fascist tyranny. I'm surprised we even got a report from California; they can't still have a free press there, can they?

Paladin, you're a wonderful Tame Conservative. You act like if you compromise and act civil enough, the Liberals will leave you alone. This is false. Compromise and civility are signs of weakness to lefties--just like they are to commies and Islamic radicals. If Bill Maher or whoever wanted to have a "forum" to "discuss" something, they could bring you in to sit next to Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Moore, and Bernie and you'd politely make your case and then politely sit there while they all beat you bloody with big sticks. The Writing had been on the Wall for California for years. Although it is to your credit that you're looking at getting out. WF's other Tame Conservative, Forbin will be a happily boiled frog before he gets out of New Jersey.
On an semirelated note, during the Clinton Gun Ban, I bought an M-14. Because I bought it during the Clinton Gun Ban, it had a [-]sporter[/-]bastardized front sight assembly, with the compensator and bayonet lug ground off. For my birthday, my Dad put a proper front sight assembly onto it. My Dad, the retired Postmaster, Scoutmaster, and general upstanding human being, was technically a felon because he believed in the Bill of Rights and his vow to defend our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
(And I may have made that last bit up--or misremembered it. Who's to say?)

I don't feel compelled to obey laws that I don't agree with, whether they're about guns or pot.

So, riddle me this! What does a bayonet lug have to do with making an M-14 illegal?
When was the last bayonet-charge convenience store robbery anyway? The reason I want to know is I want to party with that dude!

Nova livin on the edge of the ledge Writer
taking no stand either way on these restrictions, the 2nd Amendment says you may keep and bear arms. Even with this law, whether it is wise or not, you can keep and bear arms - just not any amount of arms. The 2A doesn't say "keep and bear unlimited arms"
Nova, Jul 2, 2016
Nova said: ↑
True but only laws that can survive Strict Scrutiny are supposed to be made regarding arms.
The 2nd prohibits the government from infringing on people's right to keep and bear arms so that the people can fight tyranny. Arms that are suitable for that purpose must be protected.
The last time we discussed this, you didn't consider plausible defence against government interference a valid standard for the 2nd.
Thus the problem - people who don't know shit about guns (but plenty about how to pull those emotional triggers!) are trying to tell you the gun owner what is or is not the necessary weaponry to defend yourself. If they had their way we'd be limited to muskets. Of course their paid security would be able to carry any hand-cannon made, because they are "professionals" and can be trusted (or some such bullshit reasoning). They want to turn the US into Europe, where only the "elite privileged class" can bear arms. All I can tell them is buy a one-way ticket and catch the first thing smoking out of here.
Thus the problem - people who don't know shit about guns (but plenty about how to pull those emotional triggers!) are trying to tell you the gun owner what is or is not the necessary weaponry to defend yourself.
So do you want all weapons needed to defend against the US government to be freely available under the 2nd, or do you agree with nuclear anti-proliferation?
You wouldn't use nukes to defend against the government because you don't nuke land you intend to occupy.
Ammunition can no longer be purchased over the internet or from out of state.
Nothing prevents a Californian from going out of state to buy ammunition. Just use a Passport, passport card, or non-resident carry permit if asked for ID.
Also, Californians can still buy ammunition online. Give the retailer your Nevada UPS store mailbox address, and have that UPS store forward all mail on to you.

I grow tired of this absurdity, but I suppose I'll respond to it once again.
The 2nd is about small arms, of the kind that would be suitable for a militia.
Nukes and VX gas aren't required. A few thousand Iraqi insurgents showed that.
The people have the right without qualification. The 2nd forbids the government from infringing on that right since the militia would be necessary to resist a tyrannical government. The right does not depend on being a member of the militia; however, militia arms must be protected as that purpose is explicitly stated in the 2nd.
OmIsLife said: ↑
Perhaps they have laws about transporting ammo over state lines (as in buying ammo in Nevada). Nothing physically stops you from driving from driving across the border from Philly into Camden, New Jersey but if you are caught in New Jersey with a gun in your car you are fucked like chuck. That's the double-edged sword of "states rights." It would be simpler if we had unified gun laws, but that would come at a cost. If all our eggs were in one basket and the whole country had FUBAR gun laws nowhere would be safe - for law abiding citizens of course: criminals would continue to not give a fuck as sane people already know.
Seems a wobbly claim to me; I don't see everyone in agreement that Iraq can never be held by an oppressive government such as Saddam's or Daesh. You in turn think the parallel claim just made by California is wrong. So it boils down to this: Who gets to make that call?

Seems a wobbly claim to me; I don't see everyone in agreement that Iraq can never be held by an oppressive government such as Saddam's or Daesh.
No one says they couldn't. I'm just pointing out that the claim that it's useless to have arms to resist a tyrannical government (because the government is so powerful) is easily refuted. A few thousand Iraqi insurgents were a big problem for the U.S. military's best combat forces. A few million armed citizens acting as insurgents? Forget about it. Even the U.S. military can't defend against that.
You in turn think the parallel claim just made by California is wrong. So it boils down to this: Who gets to make that call?
There's no call. The Constitution acknowledges the right of individuals to own arms, and the limitations on the government in the 2nd show that the right extends to arms suitable for militia use. It would be non-sensical to say "A well-regulated militia being necessary to a free state, the governement has the authority to deny the militia suitable weapons for that purpose."
But what qualifies as suitable militia use? Small arms? Military level arms? Canons?

COB Full form: What Does "Close of Business" Really Mean?
Businesses close for a variety of reasons. They can be closed by the owner, the government, or some other force outside of the business's control. In most cases, a new business will open in its place. However, this may not always happen. In these cases, it is up to the owners or managers of that business to decide what happens with their property and assets. This is where "Close of Business Full Form" comes into play.
What is a Close of Business?
The close of business, also known as the COB, is the time at which a company officially declares that its regular trading day is over. This can be done via various means, such as issuing a press release or making an announcement on the company's website. It's important to note that the COB isn't always the same for all companies – it can vary based on the type of business and its specific industry.
Top Reasons for Close of Business
Changes in Economic Conditions:
The closure of a business may be due to changing economic conditions, such as when the market begins to decline or when competition becomes too intense. If the business can't keep up with the competition, it may close its doors.
Failure of Key Partners or Suppliers:
If key partners or suppliers fail, this could lead to the failure of the business. If this happens suddenly and without warning, it could seriously disrupt operations and cause widespread closures.
A decline in Customer Demand:
If there is a decline in customer demand, this could lead to the closure of a business. If customers stop coming because they don't need what the business provides, it will have to close its doors.
Financial Difficulties:
If a business finds itself financially difficult, it may have to close its doors because it can no longer afford to stay open. This could happen if there is a sudden rise in expenses that the business can't cover or if debt levels become too high for the company to manage.

Different Types of Close of Business
Legal Close of Business:
This is the formal closing of all legal proceedings, including those still in progress and those that have been concluded but not yet finalized. It usually takes place at around 5 pm local time, although it can be earlier or later depending on the jurisdiction.
Financial Close of Business:
This marks the point at which all financial obligations and commitments have been fulfilled, including debt payments and transfers to creditors. In some cases, it can also include issuing final shares or dividends to shareholders. The main financial markets usually close around 4 pm GMT or 5 pm EST.
Physical Closing of Business:
This refers to the physical removal of all equipment, documents, and records from a company's premises. It usually happens once everything has been packed up and secured for transport home or to the storage facility where it will be kept until its next use.
Tips for Future Business Owners to Avoid Close of Business
If you're considering starting your own business, it's important to understand the close of business (COB) process. The close of business is the official end of your day, and it's when you must finalize all your financial transactions and prepare your company for the next day. Here are some tips for avoiding COB:
Make a Plan:
Before you go into COB, make sure you have a plan for completing all your transactions. This will help you avoid running into any trouble and keep your business running smoothly.
Keep Track of Time:
Make sure to keep track of the time so that you don't run into problems during COB. If you're unfamiliar with how long certain tasks take, ask a co-worker or friend for help.
Use Automated Systems:
If possible, use automated systems to speed up the process and save time on COB. This is especially helpful if you have a lot of transactions that need to be completed quickly.
Follow Standard Procedures:
Always follow standard procedures when closing out your day – this will help avoid any surprises and ensure that everything goes as planned on COB night."

Different Impact of Close of Business
Close of Business (COB) is the time at which a company's day-to-day operations come to an end. The closing process can be a very important event for a business, as it can determine not only its financial health but also its future. Several different impacts can occur as a result of a COB:
Financial Issues:
A COB can have a significant impact on a company's finances. Many companies use COBs as an opportunity to finalize their financial reports and close out their day-to-day operations. This can help to improve the accuracy of these reports and ensure that all financial transactions are completed correctly.
A COB can also have legal implications for businesses. For example, it may be necessary to file certain documents (such as tax returns) in advance of the COB date. Additionally, some contracts may need to be updated to reflect the new status quo following the COB.
TA COB can also have an impact on the operational aspects of businesses. For example, it may be necessary to reassign employees or move equipment around to make room for new operations. Any changes made during or after the COB process may require extra attention and coordination to avoid any disruptions or issues.
Things to do When your Business is Closing
Clean up and prepare the space. This includes cleaning any equipment or furniture, removing any expired inventory, and putting away any leftover materials.
Make sure all paperwork is complete and in order. This includes issuing final paychecks and canceling any outstanding contracts or bills.
Dispose of any remaining material or equipment safely. This could include throwing out old products, recycling materials, or sending unwanted items to charity.
Greet customers and thank them for their patronage throughout the years. Offer them a final discount if they decide to purchase something before the business closes for good.
Remind employees of their severance packages and let them know when they can expect to receive their final paychecks. Thank them for their contributions during the closure process and offer help with finding new employment if necessary.

Q: What is COB?
A: The Close of Business is the official end of the business day in most jurisdictions. This could be a physical closing or an electronic closing depending on the laws and regulations in place. In many cases, this is when all financial transactions are final, all employee shifts are finished, and all customer service inquiries have been answered.
Q: Why is the Close of Business important?
A: The Close of Business is important because it formalizes the end of a business day and sets an official record for how much money was made, how many products were sold, and how many services were provided. It also establishes what taxes must be paid and what records need to be kept.
Q: What happens at the Close of Business?
A: At the Close of Business, all financial transactions should be finalized (this includes paying bills), all employee shifts should be completed, and all customer service inquiries should have been answered. In some cases, this may mean that product inventory should also be cleared out to make way for new product arrivals tomorrow. Depending on company policy, Closing ceremonies may also take place at this time to celebrate the accomplishments of the day.

PMFTU Pledges Support to All Political Bodies
Taken from Morning Tribune, 6th April 1948 (Page 3)
Morning Tribune April 6th, 1948
In April 1948, a ten-day conference was organised to celebrate the third anniversary of PMFTU. In the general assembly:
1. Ganapathy pledged support to all political bodies striving for the enhancement of the social and political status of all Malayans. Ganapathy also spoke about Malayan labourers had drawn to WFTU's sincere cooperation. He also reminded local government not to underestimate labour uprising in West and the Malayan labourers would draw to the awakening.
2. Secretary of Singapore Communist Party - Chan Min Ching warning indication showing Singapore to be turned into anti communist headquarters for SEA.
3. Agent of Government of India to Malaya T.G Nadarajan Pillai spoke about the necessary to establish a profit sharing system for labourers similar to many trades in United Kingdom, establishment of cooperative societies among labourers and government provide small plots of land for labourers.
Speaking at the general assembly of the third anniversary celebration of the Pan Malayan Federation of Trade Unions in Singapore yesterday, Mr. S.A Ganapathy (Chairman) pledges the support of the organization to all political bodies "striving for the enhancement of the social and political status of the people of Malaya"
The interests and welfare of the labourers of the world had drawn the serious attention of the World Federation of Trade Unions to which was also extended the sincere co-operation of the workers of Malaya, he said.
"The local government authorities should never be under the hallucination that the revolutionary spirit prevailing in the West and other awakened countries of Asia would not draw into its orbit the labourers of Malaya." Mr Ganapathy added.
No Danger of War
Secretary of the Singapore Communist Party Mr. Chan Min Ching, said that although the present international situation was comparatively tense, there was no immediate danger of third world war. Confrontation with an impending economic crisis and the ever-developing upsurge of the colonial peoples, the imperialist bloc was fanatically making preparation for war.
The Five-Power military pact recently signed in Western Europe, in his opinion, was identical with former Axis agreement and was only a pretext persecuting democratic and leftist forces. For instance, the recent anti Communist persecution in Burma and India. Mt Chan said was coupled with the persecution against trade union leaders and strikers who demanded better living conditions.
Referring to the British Government he said, that the Labour Government in England, instead of leading Malaya towards self-government, "is leading us towards war. The Colonial Secretary (in Singapore) openly called for war preparation recently when he spoke at an RAF Association function. Lately, a defense department for the Colony had been established under Mr. G.Hawkins."
There was very indication, Mt Chan said, that Singapore "may be made" the anti-Communist headquarters for Southeast Asia." To suggest that Malaya today was threatened by foreign aggression was absurd, he said, because any aggression could only come from American imperialism.
A Query
One should not wonder why imperialism is deadly anti-Communist because (Mr. Chan said) Communist parties have long been known to be most revolution in their opposition to ruthless exploitation of the popular masses and violation of civil rights. War preparations under the present circumstances could only mean more unbearable taxes to the people and preparation against the people and against democracy he added.
Workers' Handicap
In a country like Malaya where much of the workers were immigrants without an inch of land or roof of their own the workers unions would be very much handicapped in their bargaining power, said Mr. T.G Natarajapillai, Agent of the Government of Indian in Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, speaking next. The country's economy depended mainly on rubber and tin for progress and prosperity. This being the case, in the event of depression, workers would have to accept lower wages, unemployment or repatriation to their countries of origin, he said.
One way in which to ensure industrial peace (he said) was to make the workers feels that they were partners in the industry by devising a system of profit sharing as done in some trades and industries in the United Kingdom and other commonwealth territories.
Co-op Societies
Co-operative societies, he thought also might help workers to save some money. But the only was to avoid a feeling of frustration was for government to enable people who have lost touch with their motherland to own small plots of land and settle down.
Comparing the financial solidarity of the employers' organization and that of labour, the speaker said labour should be very thoughtful before embarking upon direct action. He called upon union leaders to study the pros and cons of all problems and encourage conciliation and other means of settlement of disputes.
Among other speakers were Mr. P.V Sharma, who spoke on behalf of the Malaya Council of World Affairs; and Mr. Eu Chooi Yip, on behalf of the Malayan Democratic Union.
Greeting telegrams from Sian and Indonesia Trade Union movements were read.
The annual assembly of the Federation is expected to last ten days.

Eleanor Oken fits into role as coxswain.
Despite being a sophomore, coxswain Eleanor "Ellie" Oken has established herself as one of the most experienced Owls of the women's rowing team.
Oken led her boat to a 10th place finish in the first race of the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta on Oct. 27. This came a week after Oken led the same boat to a seventh place finish at the Head of the Charles Regatta, one of the world's premier rowing events.
None of the Owls had raced on the Charles River in Boston before, except for Oken, who had raced the course twice.
Oken's unique experience mirrors her background. Oken is the only rower on the team not from the Northeast. She attended high school in Portland, Ore.
However, Temple did not begin recruiting Oken until March of her senior year of high school.
Before joining the Owls, Oken never anticipated rowing for a team whose boathouse was a tent, as is the case for the Owls. Temple offered Oken a few surprises, beginning with Hurricane Irene.
Oken soon settled into her new team in a new city. However, homesickness inevitably crept into Oken's mindset on occasion, and still does, she said.
Oken's parents have only been able to see their daughter race once, at last year's Dad Vail Regatta.
"Everyone else has parents here every weekend, so just to have mine watch me in college once was really, really awesome," Oken added.
Making the move to the East Coast was not the only major travel in Oken's life.
Oken was born in Eugene, Ore., but during her middle school years, a job opportunity at Vanderbilt University for her father meant her family had to move to Nashville, Tenn. The summer before high school, her family returned to Oregon, but this time to Portland.
One of Oken's new neighbors had recommended a summer rowing program to her. This was the spark to Oken's rowing career.
Gaining an interest in rowing in Portland, a place where the rowing culture is far smaller than Philadelphia, Oken was able to use the long rivers and fewer boats to her advantage.
Quickly, Oken realized her stature meant she would be a coxswain.
"It's also kind of my personality to be in charge," Oken added.
Upon first meeting Oken, new coach Rebecca Smith Grzybowski noticed Oken's personality.
"She is on the top of her game when it comes to preparation: studying course maps, taking turns, studying the competition," Grzybowski added.
These same traits are noted by Oken's teammates.
Heading into the spring, though, Oken would like to get more aggressive with her coxswain style. Currently, she is very technical, and getting more aggressive can be a struggle for her, she said.
Being aggressive will be crucial for the team heading into the spring, as courses are generally straight, she said.
As for Oken's personal life, the coming weeks serve as a time to focus on family again. As Thanksgiving approaches, Oken would like to head home because both her and her father's birthdays fall around the holiday.


Discussion in 'E46 M3 (2001-2006)' started by Jimbo25, Apr 17, 2019 at 12:37 PM.
Got an interesting issue with my E46, when braking hard the thing shakes like a shitting dog, to be polite. It's interesting (I think at least) because the usual culprits, such as worn rear wishbone bushes, wheel bearings, hub cleanliness and imo brake discs are all A-OK - in fact mostly brand new. I've got Powerflex rear wishbone bushes (6k miles max) relatively fresh wheel bearings and therefore hubs ~20k max I'd say and a D2 6 pot brake kit with Bluestuff NDX pads - I don't think these have warped in any way / disc are clean.
Also got all new track rod ends and steering ball joints last year (6k miles) - Top mounts OK and new B12 shocks / Eibach springs all round.
My suspicion, despite it having just received a clean MOT ticket, is that the ball joints on the wishbones have got some wear in them, that only present itself under braking. I wonder this, as I did have the same vibrations, albeit lesser, on my old OEM braking system. Either that or the Redstuff pads but I can't quite believe that the pads could be the issue with 2 different pad shapes, material and disk size/thickness.
If its shaking that bad under braking ONLY then its more likely to be the discs even though you think they are ok or a sticky caliper. go out for a 20 min drive, do some braking including hard braking and get back and get a feel for a heat off each disc, you will quickly see which one is sticking, the heat will be significantly more.
Sorry should have said, been round them all, and they're all of a similar temp. I know the fronts are renowned for sticking but don't think it'd be an issue with relatively new 6 pots.
Should also say I get no vibration at any speed to suggest a tyre or wheel balance issue, only ever braking.
lower arm ball joint since you have said all the others are solid!
I would have said Warped discs or Rear Lollly Pop Bushes are fooked, but you said they are all fine!
Is the shaking coming through the steering, the brake pedal or the whole car?
Is there any steering wheel movement at all under light braking?
Is there any steering wheel movement whilst driving slowly without braking?
Also have a bounce on the front end. Even new shocks can have weak or failing dampers.
Suspension does seem more likely. As above, the bottom arm ball joints could be suspect perhaps.
The slight oscillation whilst braking lightly might make me lean more towards discs or sticking caliper piston or master cylinder, possibly.
Also worth a check is the inner bush on that same bottom suspension arm. With the engine heat they take they can deteriorate.
First thing I would look at is the powerflex. They are utter crap and the heat on the manifold side destroys that Bush.
I will of course check them Paul - I'd heard this but asked at Geoff Steel (as they recommended them) and they said they never had any issues. I did used to get it on the old (assume stock) rear bushes, but then they were shagged as it came up on the MOT, hence the change.
I've ordered a new Jack, as yet I haven't actually had it up and checked anything, just going off how old components are.
It's a good point, I'd read about harder pads leaving deposits on the discs when used lightly i.e. around town and that a decent warm up and few hard stops cleared them up, but I can confirm after the ring they definitely got hot enough and if anything got worse! I'm open to the disc or pad issue, just find it bizarre if the issue traveled from the OEM discs and calipers onto the new brakes with new wheel hubs on.
That's a pain mate, have you figured out what's causing it yet? Must be discs surely ?

Transforming the standard of stretcher support surfaces.
Stryker's premier stretcher surface, IsoFlex SE, addresses the key risk factors to skin breakdown: pressure and shear. In doing so, IsoFlex SE enhances patient comfort and aids in the treatment and prevention of pressure injuries.
Experience the value of gel technology.
It's true: Pressure injuries can begin in as little as the first two hours* of a patient's admittance into a clinical setting. They pose a serious threat and should be treated as such.
With the aforementioned knowledge of the severity of pressure injuries in mind, we designed IsoFlex SE with specific features to aid in treatment and prevention. Most important of these features, is gel.
Featuring only-in-class ShearGel, IsoFlex SE was designed to help minimize the friction between the surface and the patient. Its technology offers a layer of support so IsoFlex SE can move freely with patient movements.
Located in the sacral region, CoreGel creates a positioning pocket to help prevent patient migration1. Its design helps absorb and redistribute patient weight to aid in pressure redistribution.
IsoFlex SE features a sloped heel section to further address our commitment to pressure injury prevention by helping reduce the risk of heel breakdown.
Bringing preventative cover features to the surface.
In line with our commitment to aiding in proactive prevention, we designed the cover of IsoFlex SE with specialized features intended to make it more durable and effective at infection control.
It was engineered for ease of use, especially during the maintenance and care process. Its cover is made with a polycarbonate polyurethane material for increased chemical resistance.
IsoFlex SE features a slip-resistant bottom to help improve infection prevention through the elimination of Velcro while maintaining affixation to the stretcher during patient movement and transfers.
IsoFlex SE features RF welded seams that utilize electromagnetic bonding to limit fluid ingress and infiltration.
Caregivers can fully inspect the condition of internal components of their stretcher surface with IsoFlex SE's three-sided zipper.

1. Best when used in combination with a stretcher equipped with Lift Assist Backrest.
Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI) represent significant and avoidable costs for facilities across the country. Use our support surface ROI tool to help identify potential savings your facility could realize by using Stryker support surfaces.


Moving to a new country can be both exciting and overwhelming. It's a time of change from the familiar, and being prepared and knowledgeable about the first few things to attend to can go a long way.
"While moving your family across the world is not easy, establishing a routine can help you settle and integrate into life in Canada, setting you and your family up for success right from the beginning," explains Ivy Chiu, Senior Director of cultural markets at RBC.
1. Make a visit to your local government service office to apply for important government-issued documents you need. These include a social insurance card, which you'll need to work or to apply for government programs and benefits; a health card that provides coverage for a range of services; and a driver's license. Learn more by visiting online at Canada.ca.
2. The next step is finding healthcare providers including a family doctor in your community. While your health card allows you to access many services for free, not everything will be covered and you will also need to find what additional insurance coverage you might require.
3. Open your first Canadian bank account and start building credit history right away. Credit and credit history are needed in Canada for bigger purchases like a home or car, but may also be required for cell phone bills, rent and other monthly expenses. Additional information about banking for newcomers is available at rbc.com/newcomers.
4. Start building a social network in your new community. There are lots of free services and community organizations for newcomers. You can even start researching before arrival to set up meetings and social events in advance.
5. Stay in touch with your roots by joining cultural associations. This familiarity may help with the transition to your new life and you will make friends along the way.
