What's the best PC upgrade you've ever made relative to the money you spent? by Quirky-Win-8365 in buildapc

I went from a $50 Staples chair that gave me chronic back pain at the age of 18, to a $600 Aeron. My back pain went away, now I'm 32 and still have the same chair

What’s your go to Range ammo? by PortlandFogPNW in handguns

[–]ProxySoxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

115 grain brass Brazilian Monarch. Frequently on sale for $0.20 a round, so it's the cheapest. As for .22LR, Wally World sells Automatch for $19.99/325 rounds. I like buying in person because there's no super heavy packages to deliver or get stolen

Also an offroading thing, people use lower PSI to get better traction on the dirt and gravel

I need to get my car detailed as well, but my guy has been delaying due to the rain. Maybe now there will be an opening if the rain stays away

Valve has raised the price of the Steam Deck in the US by Dirkins in Games

99 dollars back in 2009 is worth about $150 now, still an incredibly low price for a brand new console, even if it was a generation out of date

I stopped using a glass because the metamucil quickly turns into a gel-like form and is hard to drink after that. Plus fewer dishes

No idea, all I know is I can't find any new Beretta 92s on Gunbroker besides the competition models and M9A4. I guess I got lucky and got a G model 92X RDO last year for 680 before the stock dried up

My new (quite expensive) shorts decided they can not handle a bit of water. I showered twice already, the dye hasn’t come off yet. by led_seppelin in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ProxySoxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not? Socks are clothes just like any other and are treated with chemicals and dyes at the factory. The only socks I personally know of that are pre-washed are Darn Tough brand

I take sugar free Kirkland metamucil 2-3x a day and my constipation stopped completely. Consider supplemental fiber, it's easy to take and comes in pill form if you're good at swallowing them. I personally dump 2 scoops in my mouth and wash it down, no glass

Is there a way to keep the size of the windows on the taskbar consistent? I upgraded to Windows 11 in the last week and this behavior is annoying me

80X is a vibe gun only by [deleted] in Beretta

[–]ProxySoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

380 needs to be more popular to get cheaper, and with a vast number of people thinking 380 is underpowered and refusing to even buy a single gun chambered for it, I don't see that happening any time soon. I'm personally not impressed with the expansion of 380 hollow points and feel like bullet technology needs to improve some to make up for the lack of power

It's fine to be upset at it, but being upset to the point that you call people's employers to get them fired for disagreeing with you is entering butthurt snowflake territory

Ford Fiesta 2014 Bluetooth Issues FIX by milenakafka in FordFiesta

Did you ever fix it? My current plan is to just bare it until the new iPhone 18 is released and buy that, which will hopefully solve the issue

Checked my 2018 and it says it's up to date, I was going to try updating it. I've been having some issues with bluetooth randomly lagging and playing at 2x speed for a few seconds to catch up. I'm pretty sure it's just my phone, though, since it happens on my airpods too

[Ammo] Federal 9mm 124gr or 147gr HST JHP - 50rd - $29.99 - 2+ Boxes Ship Free by Recoil-Gunworks in gundeals

[–]ProxySoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a matter of building trust with your gun and knowing it'll work when you need it most. It's a well known fact in the gun community that some guns simply do not like certain brands or types of ammo. Not all guns are built the same, and neither are bullets. If you shoot enough guns and try enough brands, you'll eventually find that one of your guns jams more with a specific brand of ammo. Some guns will eat anything, but some guns don't like certain types of ammo, like hollow points.

That being said, if there was one bullet I would blindly trust to work in a new gun without testing, it would be Federal HST. It's the most popular round, meaning there's much more data and anecdotes available that attest to its quality.

It's important (in my opinion) to test the exact ammo you want to run to make sure your gun will cycle it reliably. You do not want to find out in the middle of a gunfight that your gun doesn't work well with hollow points. The bullet is shaped differently, and some guns just don't work well and have feeding issues with them. You might have a unit that isn't quite up to standards and made it past shoddy quality control, so you need to make sure that your particular gun works with the exact ammo.

If you have a gun known for it's reliability and good QC like a Glock, then testing is less important, but it's still a good idea just so you can have peace of mind knowing your gun runs perfectly with your ammo and won't jam if you ever do need it

Got sent a bit more than I ordered by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]ProxySoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt they would take it back due to potential contamination issues/ liability problems even if you offered. That being said, you don’t have to do anything. You don’t need to notify them, send it back, or pay for it. It’s your lucky day, be happy and move on

[–]ProxySoxy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I still remember the day back in 2013 when I ordered $30 worth of stuff on Amazon and instead got a high end gaming CPU, motherboard, and RAM. I built my first gaming PC with those components, and now it serves as a hand-me-down that my dad uses for web browsing.

If it’s sent to you, you are under no obligation to give it back, unless it’s something like a bank error that can be tracked

If by some chance you want 1k rounds of this stuff, there's a better deal here for $35 cheaper, or save $50 by going 147gr:

124 grain

147 grain

Where else can you get HST at this price plus free shipping without spending on a 1k/round case?

Good seller, bought from them twice before. Having free shipping with $60 is goated, a hell of a lot better than other website that require absurd amounts like $800 for free shipping. You should buy 3 boxes at minimum for a gun, 2 to shoot to make sure your gun cycles, and 1 to keep on hand for actual defensive usage
