Slow Response Times
🕑 Added 2021-05-02 22:14:29 +0000 UTCHey gang,
I just wanted to squeeze in a little update. I'm doing a mix of scrambling behind the scenes and trying to bank some sleep. It's a lot easier to burn crazy hours on something you understand and love than it is to struggle with math and hide-and-go-seek paperwork.
I noticed my inbox response time is critically poor, I'm losing track of stray messages on various social media. Even Patreon has a community tab that fails to alert me so I always have to check it manually.
If you've asked me something critical and I have not responded, please let me know. If it's something unimportant, maybe give me two weeks and poke me with a reminder. I'm sorry to be so distracted and here's hoping I can get things wrapped up and back on track soon.

As the wise ones with the long gray beards have stated... The only legitimate function of government is to kill people and break things, all else is an aberration and vain attempts of self aggrandizement by phonies seeking societal status!

I did - and it doesn’t even have the hippy smell like you said it would! lol. I haven’t yet had the chance to deep-clean it to get rid of the cosmoline, but otherwise I’m very happy with it - absolutely beautiful bluing, and there seems to be quite a bit of rifling left. I will definitely have to come back to this show in a few months, this was my first visit and I was very impressed with what I saw compared to some of the recent shows I’ve been to.

quite literally.

That wasn't the best Greenville show I've been to, however, Greenville SCACA is the best show in the state.

Did you buy the rifle?

It's gotten... weirder. The short answer is I am in spreadsheet / forensic email hell for a bit.

I increased my pledge because you said not to to annoy you lol

Take the time you need to breathe and do what needs to be done. We'll be here when you get back.

I second that! <3

The fact that you respond, be it within a week or within a month or even within the year, is absolutely awesome on all levels. Considering you run a respectably large sized channel and do the ungodly number of hours each week it takes to maintain an impressive production schedule with multiple episodes in the pipe at a time, and currently multiple projects it is downright damned impressive you even have time to check your e-mails let alone type a response to, for example, someone's random e-mailed crazy idea of you meeting up with a certain person performing a similar job from a different country for things.

I second this. I love the work you (and the others) do. If it takes some sorting out, go ahead and sort it out. We'll still be here after
Xavier Thilking
That about sums it up lol

We all love you and the work you do, just take care of you.
Burning out sucks, don’t do it. Take care of yourself pal.

Othias, You have got to stop this!. Several times in the past year you have expressed being oppressed by the work, one way or the other. This is supposed to be fun for you too! Your health is more important than the next video. You have already given so much most of us have a long way to go to catch up. There are literally dozens of videos to watch I have not been able to get to yet - how you can make them faster than I can watch them just astounds me. PLEASE dial back to the point the fun comes back - we need you to stay in this for the long haul and this way you will burn out.

What did you think about the Greenville show? My first time and I was underwhelmed. I did pick up a nice 1891 Argentine engineer carbine and a couple of Argentine bayonets that still had the crests on them.

Othias,
Tim Howard
No worries at all - sometimes you’ve gotta take care of the not-fun things before you can do the fun things. We don’t mind any delays, we just don’t want you running yourself too thin. (Side note: it was a pleasant surprise meeting you this weekend at the Greenville show! I hope that it was a nice and productive respite for you.)

From what I recall, some sort of earnings statement was submitted twice so IRS thinks they should pay taxes on earnings that don't exist.
WayneJetSki
IRS problem?
Alden Skinner
I assume this is due to the IRS BS. Hang in there guys.
David Axel Hansen
Appreciate the update. Hang tight.

Othias I will say two things: Many features of this app including notifications are janky for me You are the only creator I support on Patreon who I feel I get extra out of at all. Now I guess the flip side means that you could be lazy and get away with it but I doubt you’ll do that
Lumpytusk
When you read this in a month, relax a bit bro.
Brian Scott
We’re here cause we love the show. Appreciate the extras but they’re the gravy. Keep doing good history, we’ll be here.
Peter A
It's cool. Don't burn yourself out.
Matthew Jackson
I really enjoyed the recent unloaded too!
James McKenzie
Thank you for the recent Unloaded. I really enjoyed that conversation.
Joseph Noffsinger
Take care of yourself, first. Messages must wait sometimes
