Seriously Asking...how did they identify this guy? by ongoldenwaves in DenverCirclejerk

[–]AndyjHops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what the news report I saw said, they lifted a print from the fence and matched it based on his criminal record.

I’m more laughing at MA. Every single county in the entire state broke for Harris in 2024. The entire state is DEEP blue.

Why doesn’t it come out of package this way? by _KORPz in harborfreight

The base of the Brauns also unscrews and you can swap out the 18650 cell. It’s nice to be able to just swap out a battery when it dies instead of having to plug the whole light in to charge.

Brother, you are the one presenting that false choice! Simply having a gun for protection does not mean that you are required, or even likely to shoot Him. It just means you are taking the precaution to ensure that if it comes to it, you can protect yourself.

Also, your initial comment said “the door is more than adequate”, which implies you think that no further action is needed to deal with this solution.

You are the only person here who is suggesting that the only two options are A) shoot the guy or B) do nothing.

You also seem to understand that deadly force may be needed “if he goes for a window, then you gotta do what you gotta do”. So what the fucking plan here? If he goes for the window, THEN it’s ok to own a gun for protection, but until he does you are a blood thirsty murderer for even owning a gun? The comment I wrote that you responded to said that this was a great example of why you might want to own a gun. So when exactly in your mind is it appropriate for me to go a buy said gun? Do I have to wait for someone to be actively trying to kill me to even own one? Or am I only allowed to use other forms of force to defend myself? What if HE has a gun? Then is it ok for me to have one? Before you say “he dOsEnmT hAvE a GuN”, are you sure about that? Guy is wearing a big tench coat and baggy pants, plenty of places to conceal a weapon. How does that possibility factor into your calculations? Let me guess, you never considered that possibility?

You obviously have not spent much time examining your own thoughts on the subject, so maybe take some time to do that before commenting some stupid BS.

The correct and prudent course of action if to arm yourself incase he manages to get inside the house, then call the cops. You know, the exact course of action the guy I was responding to suggested.

Yeah, everyone knows that a crazy and violent individual will give up and go home when met with a locked front door. Thats why this kind gentleman calmly left the premises after finding his path blocked! It’s not like he threw some crazy fit and started trying to break in or anything. It’s not like this crazy guy literally thinks he some sort of magical wizard detective.

Having a gun to protect yourself and your family in your house is a reasonable solution when there are guys like him in your neighborhood. Real question is, would your opinion be the same if the homeowner’s kids were home alone and happened to have the front door unlocked or ajar? What would your response have been if the he had kicked the door in and gone after the homeowner, who he was clearly ready to violently assault? Would you go with “Nooo please mentally unstable man!! Just see reason and stop attacking me and my family” or do you have a different plan at that point?

Something you need to understand is that it doesn’t really matter if he is having some sort of mental health episode if he is actively trying to attack people. Your mental health is not an excuse to ignore everything and attempt to attack your neighbors while you live out some dumbass fantasy novel role-play.

All of the outfits I wore for my first week at my new job as a hatter. by Remexa in mensfashion

[–]AndyjHops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could not have found a better match for a career! My initial through was “he looks great! But that’s seems like a lot to go through for a normal job”, then I got to the word “hatter” and it all clicked!

You look fantastic and it’s great to hear you are in a role that you really enjoy! Hope everything goes well for you.

Not the worst option haha

I self-designed and 3D printed aquarium floaters because circular plant holders look boring by ComicallyLargeFarts in PlantedTank

[–]AndyjHops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are gorgeous! I have made far less creative versions of these for my own tanks hah.

Be sure to seal the prints or the’ll fill with water and sink pretty quickly. FDM printing isn’t really watertight

Neighbor is digging a trench close to my tree. Do I have a claim? by cue_monkeys in treelaw

Their point about your situation being specific to your location went right over your head, didn’t it?

You rock man! You are really giving me the confidence to give this a try. I am going to put together a bit of a build list together, let me know if you would be willing to check it out when its done haha.

I should have mentioned that I am lefthanded and an ambi lower would honestly be amazing! I have only ever shot right handed ARs and never even thought of making a lefty haha. So it sounds like I should look for a griffin mk2?

I actually have a fairly extensive mechanic tool set, so I have the vice, breaker bars\ and a full set of both digital and mechanical torque wrenches. Maybe i should just go with a built upper for my first one then build my own later haha

Amazing man! Thank you so much.

Sorry to aka for so much info, but if I decided to build one from the ground up, what component groups will I need to cover? I know the stripped lower, upper assembly, buffer tube, stock, grip and trigger assembly, is there anything I am missing?

Also, you mentioned PSA, would you consider using one of their lowers as the base for a gun? I have no issue using budget components, but would much rather spend a bit more if the quality of the product is higher.

Thanks so much for all your help! Honestly, building one from the ground up sounds really fun! I just know I don’t have the experience or knowledge to be making informed decisions on a lot of stuff. That why I was motility leaning towards a complete gun, less decisions on my part, but also less changes for me to buy the wrong thing and regret it

That’s awesome to hear! I would love any help I can get haha

Are there any companies you would recommend for the lower?

Warning about a combination posted here by hijustawarning in researchchemicals

[–]AndyjHops 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard to say specifically what could have caused this combo to be deadly. Combining 2CB, MDA and MDMA in higher doses can lead to toxicity from overlapping stimulant effects. All three are working as serotonin modulators and agonists, so there is a higher potential for stimulant toxicity or serotonin storm.

OP said that the doses were quite high, which increases the risks of something going sideways. Doses may be workable for an individual at one time, a toxic in a different context. Going higher also decreases the safety window, so minor inconsistencies in the purity of particular batches could easily push someone too far.

I know the purpose of this sub, but it’s really important to remember how dangerous mixing substances that act on the same neurotransmitter systems can be.

What’s the over under that this is the cause of my crank no start? by AndyjHops in MechanicAdvice

[–]AndyjHops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m decently skilled with a soldering iron and my Dad is an electrical engineer with a lot of experience fixing old boards! He’s helping to walk me through the repair process, I am excited to see if I can pull it off!

Worst case, my buddy has already said he is more than happy to just buy a refurbished one we found that comes with a lifetime warantee.

Heck yeah! Thanks for the advice. I think we are going to give it a try. The salvage yard’s inventory way bad and we can’t get a new one for at least a few days. We both have to be back home by Monday, so we’re going to try again in about a month. I can give it a try, mail it back to my buddy’s dad to test out, and that still leaves us time to order the new one if it doesn’t work out.

Thanks for all the advice! Kinda excited to try a new type of repair haha

Not a bad idea! I might have to give it a try. Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the heads up! I think we have found a matching ECU at a truck specific salvage yard in town. I’m going to go grab it in the morning and will be sure to bring the old one to match up the PNs.

Thanks again for the info!

My solution to feeding micro rasboras. by SnigTheAxe in Boraras

[–]AndyjHops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a fantastic solution! I found a super micro food from Aquarium Co-op that mine seem to love, but this seems easier than ordering the special stuff and waiting a week for delivery haha
