Handguns are just more efficient overall. They’re compact, easy to maneuver, and you can fire off multiple shots quickly without fumbling around. Shotguns are great in their own right, but they’re bulkier, harder to handle in tight spaces, and let’s be honest, you’re not exactly carrying one around discreetly. It’s about being precise and practical, and that’s where handguns shine.

What if the intruder is high and loaded on drugs? It is possible that when someone is under the influence of certain drugs, like cocaine, PCP, or methamphetamine, they may feel little to no pain and can experience a temporary adrenaline-fueled surge. This can allow them to continue moving or fighting despite severe injuries. What you see in movies like Scarface is often exaggerated, but the phenomenon of drug-induced temporary resilience is rooted in reality. You’ll keep shooting with that handgun, but it might take a few pulls of the trigger to take him out.

But the shotgun always wins. High on drugs or not, one shot with a slug, and it’s over.

Knowing me, I’ll panic and throw the gun at the intruder, lol. I’ll find out tomorrow at the shooting range.

It’s like a robotic litter box. Mine is the “Litter-Robot 4”. Sciencewoman, I’m not sure if you have a cat, but I know Phrozen Sands does. If you have a cat, I think you’d like it.

Phrozen, you should get one. It’s really nice. I got mine because it helps me to monitor my cats weight. And then, it’s never dirty. It’s always consistently a clean litter box.

I just looked up that litter box, CG. Unless I’m looking at the wrong one, it’s damn near $1000.00. Please don’t tell me you paid that for a litter box.

Eta: is this it?

I watched that video, and I don't think I'd enjoy getting the "I'm full" text either, lol.

Great movie. I could watch it several times, and each time I do, I see something I didn’t see before. You’ve got a point about the drug affects, but I’m a pretty good aim at vitals.

Yes, that’s it. I did, but it’s so worth it because it tells me everything. So, I’m at the coffee shop now waiting for my friends to show, and it just sent me two notifications all the way from home. One was that it’s almost full and the other was which cat used it. It even records the amount of scoops it’s discarded since I got it. And I only have to do a deep cleaning every three months. It’s really nice and my cats like it. And then when they use it, it’s always clean. It’s like flushing a toilet. Would you use a dirty toilet or one that wasn’t flushed? If your answer is yes, then you’re really gross. If no, then why should your pets? lol. Just sayin…

Well, they’re not really texts. I should have clarified that. They’re notifications that come through my phone. Just as annoying though.

Must be nice when you have that kind of money to blow on a litter box. Who pays $1000 for a litter box? That’s literally living in a world where cat shit gets more luxury than most people.

10/10 recommend the Sh*t That Ain’t True series on IG…by Cory Booker. So far other Senators have contributed to it. It’s a day by day guide to the BS Trump spews.

He was discussing water flow in California…it’s just…something else.

My cats litter box cleans itself because they have standards. Would you willingly drop one in a dirty, unflushed toilet? Oh wait, based on this energy, I’m guessing you not only would, you already do.

What are you talking about? It’s a litter box. They’re probably $10 on Amazon. You paid $1000 for yours. They’re cats. I’m a human being. Big difference.

My daughter has one because Jupiter, her cat, wont go in a dirty litter box so after one trip to the litter box, he was going on the couch instead. After she paid to have her couch cleaned 3 times, at the tune of $350 each time, she decided the robot litter box was well worth the money.

Exactly, big difference. You’re a human being, and yet my cats still have a cleaner bathroom than you. Maybe that $10 Amazon box is why you’re so pressed. Spend less time judging and more time upgrading your own setup.

I don’t know if you have a cat, but changes in a cat’s litter box habits can indicate serious health issues. Those are things I need to know. This litter box I have tracks those changes automatically. A litter box from Amazon you paid $10 bucks for just sits there.

Yep. This. It’s so worth it.
