Just watch it vanish into the internet void every single time.

My buddy Carl had a similar mess in a cave dive last spring. His comms unit picked up a taxi dispatch frequency, so we heard 'Code 3 on Maple Street' while trying to navigate. Right after that, he started using hand signals only, which @miles834 would appreciate. Saved us from a lot of confusion and static.

Started saving every bit of rainwater I could catch in some old barrels last year. It felt silly at first, but when the heat hit, I had enough to keep my garden boxes alive. Honestly, just focusing on the plants I could actually help made the bigger problem feel less hopeless. Even a couple of those barrels let me give the young trees a deep drink once a week. Tbh, it's not fixing the park, but it keeps my own little patch from turning to dust.

Hitting your bolt with a hammer is a terrible idea no matter how soft it is. You can easily mess up the alignment or damage the lugs over time. That trick might work once but it’s just hiding a real problem like bad ammo or a dirty chamber. You should figure out the actual cause instead of forcing it. A gunsmith would tell you the same thing, it’s a band-aid fix on something that needs real attention.

Funny how we write things off, right? @the_amy
