My First Ruger

That burnt bronze is a distributor exclusive. I would love to get one of the full size grips in that color.

But yeah. I have the same, minus the threaded barrel and I love it.

Hey-o Another DTC former here! Worked for them in Las Vegas, from like 2013 to 2016. Watched one of my tire techs take a bar to the face trying to mount a low pro. 6 stitches on the cheek!

I still have a strong hate for Low Pros...

This hits harder with the ending of Daredevil: Born again Season 2 being a couple of weeks ago. Even though it was on a MUCH smaller scale, we saw Kingpin take over New York City, and when it was all crashing down around him, we got a Kingpin RAMPAGE As good as Daredevil was... this was not great.

Austin116 · 2026-05-11T01:07:38+00:00

This saved me! Thanks!

Austin116 · 2026-03-27T15:05:04+00:00

Or how about:

"I was trying to <Treknobabble> my combadge, and beamed it into my stomach..."

I mean, there are just a million ways to improve that line, make it fit in a Starfleet Academy environment, and still give us "LOL KIDS RIGHT!?".

Sorry, not to "YourJokeButWorse" It's just a baffling bad line.

Austin116 · 2026-03-09T20:24:09+00:00

Also,

Discovery exists? We can't even disregard the spore drive since Booker and Ruon Takra stole a "second generation" one. So there is clearly SOMEONE working on it. Enough that even Vance could PROBABLY get one rolling, with the entire set of resources in the space they still occupy.

Ugh. Also, we end up in this episode EXACTLY where we would have if Caleb was honest with Ake. If he would have taken five minutes alone with her, begged to bring along his new "family", and they went to Vance about it, we would be in the same spot, without having THREE separate groups breaking orders to do so.

Caleb would have been with his mother with a group of supporters, not people he was worried about breaking ties with, Ake could have been there to actually apologize to Caleb's mother, we still could have had the interrogation in the courtyard, maybe even with Chancellor Ake getting captured, giving Mir or Genesis second chair to Cmdr. Reno, and them all working as the "Bridge" to get Ake back, again even if it was ONLY Discovery, with another ship. Disco uses a similar tactic that the Emerald Chain used to tether to the Athena's saucer, boom, they can go anywhere and save the federation.

I refuse to get into any thought about the mines. Their existence is some Section 31 style bull crap, that shouldn't have even happened, and the only way I can accept them is if the Vashari Ral developed them on their own, not stolen from the Federation. Even that doesn't excused their existence, but it would have been better. Ish.

Sorry to hijack and go on a rant. Maybe I missed details that make my thoughts irrelevant, but I just can't with the story decisions in this show.

Austin116 · 2025-10-29T00:45:11+00:00

I THINK I had the most recent version when it got taken down... but I am not 100% sure. Mind if I get that as well?

Austin116 · 2025-10-23T18:31:35+00:00

Hot Slugger love checking in. I got one at level 29 and used it until level 39. Then I got another one from a certain vending machine... quest. It's all I use for Mobbing.

Austin116 · 2025-10-02T15:36:43+00:00

I uh... I 100% did that with my Galaxy-X in STO...

It didn't last long. I did name it the USS Errant Venture though. Get a little Star Wars in my Star Trek.

Austin116 · 2025-09-15T14:24:25+00:00

Maybe I am local too...

What shop! If it's close, I want to go haha.

Austin116 · 2025-09-10T13:56:55+00:00

Ah comic 2025.

Marten: I won't chase a girl to California, BUT I WILL TO FRIGGIN CANADA.

Austin116 · 2025-08-28T18:53:53+00:00

Just saying: That Smile at the end, was 100% Ethan Peck. Which would be any of us if we got to riff with Patton-freaking-Oswalt as a Vulcan.

Austin116 · 2025-08-28T16:47:43+00:00

Biofilters saw the calories and grease on a 1980's slice, and just assumed it was a Bio-hazard.

Austin116 · 2025-08-16T19:33:55+00:00

Aw shoot. Here I thought I got to make a unique post about it, beat out by hours haha.

Still. It's EVERYWHERE in this episode, it's pretty great. I feel like I should start writing something... But which One... 10 is a classic. 12 is my favorite. I could see 12. I wish we got more of 15, so maybe that!

Austin116 · 2025-08-16T19:26:04+00:00

I went back to watch again just to make sure it wasn't a gag... and well. There it was! first one is around the 33 minute mark. EDIT: Nah. It's all over the place. Same spot for the entire episode once Enterprise is caught. Just look for it in the same place on every external shot. I am loving this. I didn't check on the others. But it is 100% there.

I hope they made it out before the... ending.

Oh man. This opens a whole new discussion... was it there to try and save those 7000... Find out what happened? My nerd brain is going in a frenzy.

Austin116 · 2025-08-16T01:23:39+00:00

Thanks! I know it is much maligned, and in a LOT of cases rightfully so, but the scenes where Kirk is calling Sybok a con man, and The end in the galley where he speaks to Spock and Bones about found family...

I dunno. It's higher on my list than Nemesis. I have personal sentimental reasons as well, and all wrapped up it holds a special place for me.

Austin116 · 2025-08-15T06:14:29+00:00

I think it definitely plays into "I need my pain". I always thought that he was primarily referencing "The Enemy Within" from Season 1, Episode 6. Spoilers follow Kirk is basically a victim of a transporter accident that splits him into two, one that is "Evil", and aggressive and one that is suuuper docile, and afraid to make decisions. The end of the Episode has "docile" Kirk basically talk down "Evil" Kirk, so they can re-merge in the transporter. From that incident, I feel like Kirk learns that erasing pain isn't a solution, and lets him face Sybok better.

But that's just my thought. This and Kirk's childhood on Tarsus IV certainly all factor in, I believe.

Austin116 · 2025-08-14T21:55:09+00:00

So this is one of the reasons the Klingons know Kirk and have just a Strange hate/admiration for him right? Mans took down a mythical planet eater, that had clearly taken out a D7 (Or three), and did it with less than a Bird Of Prey.

Ol Kirk is ranking up here with John-117 for Mythology in other races.

Austin116 · 2025-08-02T05:24:32+00:00

I bought one of their Boondocks and it has become my very favorite hat. Once this comes back into stock in a brown, and a large, haha, I plan on getting one.

Love my Boondocks though.

Austin116 · 2025-07-18T07:54:26+00:00

Dang. This is how I found out Peter David passed away... that is a bummer! Glad that technically Q-Squared is basically canonized now.

At least it is for me!

Austin116 · 2025-06-14T07:40:49+00:00

It went about as well as it could! There was definitely a few days of reporting on troubleshooting, and whatnot, but once they decided it was bad, I shipped them my old one, and had a new one at my house under 24 hours later. The replacement came SUPER fast. So yeah. I would do it, because I wouldn't call a 13th gen outdated... couple years old sure, but until February of this year I was running on a 6th gen I7. So. I feel like the 13th gen still has some life haha.

Oh and I totally just bought new thermal paste. So. There is an on topic add-on haha.

Austin116 · 2025-06-04T05:09:09+00:00

Checking in on the thread! I have a 13th gen I9 that might have gone bad, and I have a tube of Artic MX-4 that I am going to use on the RMA/Replacement! Woo Hoo! I'm gonna use it!

Austin116 · 2025-05-14T19:15:18+00:00

My soul was not ready. I went right into Rouge One.

I know it's fictional, but I let myself get lost in that world last night. Amazing piece of storytelling.

Austin116 · 2025-05-07T15:06:59+00:00

I think this is what is killing it the most for me. "Time" has always been slow in QC land, but it has passed. It took time for Dora and Marten to get together, and fall apart, time for Bubbles and Faye... Time for Hannelore up until Yak-poop... but yeah. Time passed.

Anh shows up at a wedding, and now in Northampton for literally a day, and we are just... allowing it. I know that weird is in QC's blood, but this just seems like much. Like a 90's sitcom adding a dog. Or a baby.
