  • The hobbies I have are working on my comic, playing some video games, or planning for my next dnd session. I find it hard to really sink in to something for awhile now, probably because I’ve only got about an hour of unstructured time on the weekdays. Weekends can swing wildly but I just find myself unable to really sit and enjoy doing it. I kinda just do one of the three in piecemeal whenever I find the time for it now.

    Recently I’ve hurt my foot so I took a week off. The past couple days is when I’ve recovered enough that I don’t feel the need to be on bed rest for the whole day. Yesterday was the first time I’ve played a video game for over an hour in one sitting in what felt like ages.



  • Glocks having no safety is a misconception. Besides the drop safety and fire pin safety, there is a trigger safety (sometimes jokingly called a dingus) that you have to press before the trigger itself can be pulled. However, the safety is right on the trigger itself, where you can disengage the safety and pull the trigger in one motion. So I guess is where the reputation that Glocks have no safety comes from?

    Having a safety generally speaking isn’t a legal requirement. Many revolvers, for example, doesn’t have a separate switch/button you have to toggle before you pull the trigger. The heavy force required to pull the (double action) trigger fully is deemed safe enough. If that’s safe enough for you or not is a personal judgement for yourself, but this has been the case for about a century. Most modern firearms do have a safety though.
