More hardware stuff, just always looks like an employee back room so you donāt know thereās a second part of the store hidden down a hallway haha
One store kept all the axes in the back area down a dimly lit hallway. Felt sketchy until I became a regular customer.

Isnāt Arkansas land locked?
So all those are for fresh water?
There must be some Gator hooks?
Just guessing you guys have Aligators.
Joking about fishing for them
Hands and fingers for cat fish ānoodlingā?
Do you have snapping turtles?
How far / long to the ocean?
I could google all my shitty questions, but you would be a more reliable source than the interwebs

Yup, and thereās some almighty big stuff in there. No idea what they plan on catching, but serious fishermen only.
Gator are hunted, not fished. Getting permits is tough though. Personally I think hunting something that could conceivably eat me is nuts. Not very sporting of me, but I like food that doesnāt fight back.
My local hardware store has an impressive selection of rifles, and ammo if a person is so interested. Plinking to big game (Gators, if you like). They have a massive supply of small engine / mower parts. Stainless steel weld els up to 6" dia. Theyāve even got all the parts to rebuild a pipe wrench. In stock, ready to go. You just gotta be able to find the building, (kinda hidden), and be able to find what you want amongst the pile. And cash. No credit/debit or checks or promises. Just cash.
A slightly lesser version of the above rules regarding possibly being eaten. Iāve known people who noodled, but itās more of a muddy water thing. Very popular in Oklahoma. Akransas is very stony so clear clear clear water. Which is convenient for seeing the big 'ol snappers.
New Orleans is 7 hours, mostly south of me. Iāve only seen the saltwater once when I was a teenager.
Never underestimate rednecks. And yeah, some people take it pretty serious.
There is a TV show called āSwamp Peopleā. Itās a reality-ish show about gator hunting. It does depict people shooting / hunting / killing gators, so if that bothers, Iād just not watch.

We have these things called ālakesā
Lots of places have plentyā¦ some places like the Midwest have 10ās of thousandsā¦ it actually effects road construction and navigation heavy
I actually used to do a lot of fishing when I lived in the southā¦ some up here in the Midwestā¦ but the bureaucracy got to be too much for me to want to deal with
Water everywhere, filled with lots of tasty fish

haha, we have plenty of lakes too.
Lake fishing, river fishing is popular, but no where near as popular as salt water fishing;
And there are far more species of salt water fish than fresh water.
Maybe because in NZ, I think the farthest you can be from the sea is 1Ā½ hours

Is that at a walking pace? like 3mph or so?
Haha, NZ is a small country, but not THAT small.
Plus, 3mph sounds extremly fast
Fun fact, the āFlorida Manā trope is because Florida has something called āGovernment-in-the-Sunshine Lawsā that basically make the government require public disclosure of government agency meetings and records. A consequence of these laws is that arrests and their corresponding affidavits are basically public record that anyone can read (some censorship is used to block out certain things like the names of minors, however). Thatās why you get to see all the crazy arrests and stuff that Florida makes (Florida Man this, Florida Woman that), because most other states donāt publish things like affidavits publicly (or require you to make a records request).
We promise other states are crazy too, we just donāt hide itā¦
We had an inmate in my facility hide on a roof of a business smoking crack, lubing himself up with sunscreen and lotion, suction cup water bottles to his nipples, and ferociously masterbate because ācrack makes him horny.ā Before the cop was able to place him in handcuffs he even tried to get one last hit off his crack-pipe. All of that is public recordā¦

Grew up in Kansas. The very definition of landlocked. Just looked its 654 miles to nearest saltwater. So about .458 Great Barrier Reefs long.
You know what the internet lacks? A handy standard to non metric conversion calculator.
Seriously, its kinda hard to explain how big something is like the length of my driveway, to my metric friends without first converting it to units theyāll understand like 12 surfboards or something.
Somebody needs to look into this.

i used to explain cost of something by using the PBR scale.
i can get a new phone, its only 20 30 packs of PBR. However the investment return on PBR is greater in Michigan than most places.
20 30 packs is 600 cans, which when drank, and returned will net you back 60$.

Iāve yet to cut or splice anything usb
But Iām building a dedicated webcam system for my printer and I think it comes with a 6ā cord and I only need 1ā¦ Iāll just bundle it for nowā¦ but Iām considering cutting 5 feet off the cableā¦
In theory (famous last words)
Soldering a new male usb A connector on should be easier than cutting and splicing in the middle
But how do I identify which wire is which when I cut?
