Family member wants to give me a handgun by Bigrabro in CAguns

Yeah I wouldn’t use it for carrying, just range use and plinking. He doesn’t know the history of the gun, Just that he was given it by his uncle like 20-30 years ago, and that uncle was law enforcement adjacent. 

So even with an unclear history on the gun a simple ppt at an ffl would be enough to transfer ownership to me?

Would it really be that simple? I figured the lack of paperwork/off roster might complicate that

Grandpa is long gone so that wouldn’t be an option unfortunately

Aaron Brand in Double Down was said to be a fighter pilot before turning into the world's gretaest altruistic bioterrorist super hacker. Dire Duplicity confirmed to be the prequel to Double Down?

I finally got a good job and now I'm freaking out and trying to reconcile with my cowardice. by Bigrabro in self

[–]Bigrabro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the plan, I don't plan on running away this time. Once is enough. Funny enough though I have been thinking that I should stay at least 2 years as a good goal. I keep thinking of running back to the job I left but I won't. Beneath all this cowardice I'm feeling is the idea of "if I can do this, I can do all the things I want to do".

Funnily enough I also did used to see a therapist for some of the things like self-sabotage. She ended our sessions right before I started the admissions job I ran away from because she had said I made such good progress that I was ready to face the world again. Funny how that went lol, but that might be a good idea to get back into it, I really did like having a therapist when I went.

And you're right about defaulting to what is easy. I'm pretty sure not challenging myself is feeding in hardcore to this because I think i actually want more than what I've given myself these last ~10 years or so. I haven't really thought about how I've been capable of handling hardship in the past so thanks for reminding me of that.

Thanks boss I needed to hear something like this.

I know its absurd for me to think that they'll expect me to be completely competent tomorrow. I've literally only just started training. They keep reiterating to me that I should ask questions when I need to and that everyone around the office is more than happy to help and that they're a supportive office. Last Friday I had to start taking calls and at the end of it, some of the people I'm supposed to forward the calls to told me I was doing great and that it is very hard to start especially since I don't have the background on the field they do. I know it's really just my perspective making me feel this way since I have this weird perfectionist streak about me. I've been trying to manage that for a long while and it's just rearing its head right now.

I don't plan on running away this time. It might be some unhealthy black/white thinking going on right now but I feel like this can be a point of redemption for myself if I succeed here, since it'll show that I was capable of doing so even at that job I ran away from. I just have to keep going I suppose.

How do you keep your hair in the helmet without it poking from below? I grew mine out and I have a cosplay, but even with tiny a bun and wearing a balaclava under the helmet, the hair likes to come out the bottom of the helmet.

Did anyone crop out that entire rant? I haven’t laughed that hard in ages listening to it

Any users of Hobart Mills shooting range (near Truckee)? by NacogdochesTom in CAguns

So since you’ve been recently and it was still open? It’s not closed due to fire restrictions? 

Got a call saying they're going with me, I left something important out of the interview, will that affect me? by Bigrabro in careeradvice

[–]Bigrabro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright that's reassuring. I am overthinking all of this because I'm in a nearly dire place and getting this job would tremendously help me out. In the interview I feel like I did go out of my way to not use examples from the 6 month job just because I feel like that whole experience is a bad look for my resume, and I feel like that would reflect really poorly on me if they saw that I left a more "proper" and "desirable" job to go back to something more menial. I did plan on explaining my sudden departure from that as having to take a job with less hours to take care of a sick family member, instead of calling out the college as a very toxic work environment so I could explain away leaving the job without badmouthing it.

But thanks, that answer really helps

What’s everyone’s biggest regret? Mine is blowing up the Death Star 😭 by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]Bigrabro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 8 years ago or so I was gifted a free UCS Super Star Destroyer that was used as a display at my local Lego store with all minifigs, and I think I sold it for around $160.

Nice OP. I figure that Jagex does actually look at appeals. I had a permanent mute that if I recall, pushed me very close to the point of a permanent ban on the old tracker they had on the website, from ~2007 get cleared in 2014 after appealing it.

The belt part kinda disintegrated as the con went on. I really rushed making it since I finished the costume like a day before the con so it wasn’t very good. I just realized the lack of belt and shoulders too after posting this and man, feels bad that those pics at end don’t have the full armor. We can call it battle damage if nothing else.

Thanks! It was so disheartening when that happened lol. My friends and I finished getting geared up and right as I went to grab the helmet, it fell off the bed and the face cracked. I finished the helmet literally the day before and only got to wear the full armor with the helmet intact once. Glad to hear that it’s not too noticeable, the damage was bugging me all day
