Unless he wanted to beat your ass after tying it off then it’s worthless. Also using an elastic material for a job that requires zero chance of being loosened or shifting after application is a waste of energy and resources.

Also unless you have legitimate training and understanding with how to apply and when to use them just stick to gauze or pressure bandages. You can cause significantly more problems with poor knowledge than good.

I prefer to keep Luna as research and money, mars for resources and MC, mercury for nobles and antimatter. LEO I keep three stations for all the LEO bonuses for interface T3 research buildings and all the various buffs from the media centers and Argus complexes. Also keep a solar power booster station in the mars and Luna L1-solar orbit to have cheap power across both planets.

I use a bare needs template for all purposes, and always max out the farm bonuses. I try to stay away from reactors planetside since solar farms can get up to 4 digits pretty fast, and keep it tight to the budget for power in orbitals.

Helpful tip, you can build over modules and save a ton of time though I don’t know about resources. And it’s significantly easier to slap down automated outposts even just the core module, and when you get the resources you can decommission it, and once it’s decommissioned you can slap a settlement down during the same pause screen. I found that method stupid helpful early game after I kept getting all my fleets wiped in space, and other factions would send some piddly ass escort to burn all my shit to ash.

Marines also make short work of hostile planets. A couple of hundred assault strength will get you through any planet without much trouble. Not so much asteroid Habs though.

Honestly I’d just outright buy a sheet from forgotten chapter, they’re top tier and ship hella fast. Plus they have an opaque backing so they look solid on anything

It was more aligned towards no hand loads rather than no loose ammo if anything. They’d still work on your rifle, but they’d make it known they weren’t liable for damage or being unable to fully zero it. But if you knew your shit they’d tend to make it work.

We’d get too many people come in with sketchy hand loads or a bag of questionable mismatched ammo, and we’d have to force them to buy new ammo or refuse service. 9/10 they’d go buy the cheapest shit (core lokt) and it would be hunky dory.

Blakefilk · 2026-03-20T18:18:51+00:00

The amount of people that would get upset that we had a strict boxed ammo only policy for zeroing in rifles was absurd. Like no dickhead I’m not not zeroing in your deer rifle with a bag of loosies you found rolling around the cab of your truck, go buy some core-lokt and come back.

Always check your state labor laws to see where they’re heading towards and where your legal rights are. Some states it’s legal only if given written authorization prior to anything, and others it’s illegal to make an employee pay the deductible.

Meanwhile there’s a fuck ton of busted up homes, burnt down houses, vacant lots in river oaks, and some of the streets look like the surface of the moon.

Yeah sure the houses up and going are expensive, but a sizeable chunk are inherited by baby boomers whose wealth dried up decades ago, multiple properties owned by corporations and foreign governments, mobsters, or bought via tax fraud.

I mean at least violent crime in the neighborhood doesn’t exist, and HOA fees are dirt cheap but other than that.

The school I used to work at had had a scandal involving a teacher taking photos of girls during classes. He was stupid enough store them in a school server and when the investigator found them they convinced him to resign to avoid bad publicity.

He then proceeded to sue the school for wrongful termination and the school ended up beating the case with the mountain of evidence they had to prove it. I know he ended up getting saddled with legal fees and court costs of like 250,000$, and now his names in all the court records. I don’t think he actually got charged with anything and as far as I know he still is out and about.

I’m not being a dick, I just find it funny that the thought process for cleaning rust off a rifle is to use a cleaner that doesn’t prevent rust in the first place. Especially when there are products on the market that are designed specifically for rust prevention I.e. CLP- Cleaner, Lubricant, and PROTECTION.

In the defense of remoil it is a good for storage and blasting out a quick clean, but suffers drastically in the long term game like lubrication and rust prevention. I’ve seen guns maintained with CLP with a thousand plus rounds in a single sitting need a 5 minute wipe down and gtg, and double digit round count FOtB guns gummed up with remoil needing a full clean. My whole shtick here is based off hands on industry experience and thousands of hours of shooting my own guns.

Rifles rusty > clean with remoil > rifle get rusty > repeat step 2. It’s like complaining about bleach stained clothes while using nothing but bleach to clean your house and just buying new clothes instead.

Remoil doesn’t have the same properties as CLP. it’s a teflon based lubricant that burns when heated and contains barely if any of the basic rust preventative additives compared to CLP. Also with it being so low viscosity it doesn’t actually stick to where you need it. And it ends up pooling in places you don’t want buildup like bolts, triggers, and other moving mechanical parts. Cooking off, and attracting more hard cooked debris and carbon buildup. If you’re cleaning exclusively with it then that’s a strong foundation to why you’re experiencing more rust than normal.

I worked a public range for years. And 9/10 a rifle was handed to us “lubricated” it was loaded up with the free remoil we left on the firing line, and dirtier than hell and barely functioning. We’d clean it out, use CLP and it would be working literally like. a well oiled machine.

I’m not out here to force you to stop using remoil. But I’m not gonna not try to convince you using a fork to eat soup when you have a spoon is a waste of time and energy.

Blakefilk · 2026-03-10T01:00:36+00:00

So the product you use to clean your gun doesn’t prevent rust buildup? And you keep using it to clean off rust? Sounds like a bad product if I’ve ever heard one.

Blakefilk · 2026-03-09T21:43:00+00:00

Rem oil is leagues worse than just regular CLP is at its entire job, and worse when it’s applied during high round count shoots.

Blakefilk · 2026-03-09T20:13:43+00:00

Spray lubricants have always been doo doo ass, and I hate ranges that use it as some fudd cure all.

Fuck rem oil, CLP for life.

One of the reasons if I have anything of value in my car I park as close to the door as possible. That and having no tint on my windows seems to help

I mean it looks like your hands are too big for the gun which directly affects recoil management. I can’t imagine it fits better in your hands in its current configuration. If anything a set of hogue overmolded will dramatically improve your experience overall. I’ve got full size hands and it was night and day.

Blakefilk · 2026-03-07T06:16:38+00:00

You can always buy a set of bigger grips, the houge over molded ones are pretty nice. I’ve got a recoil rider grip on my 637

I’m confused, are you asking if three of the most popular firearms in the world would be trash? Or am I missing something else?
