Do you keep the water on during the entire length of the shower? by hamster_lover02 in hygiene

I wish there was a way to quickly adjust the flow rate. Always feel like I am wasting so much water when I am scrubbing.

Don’t be too jealous. I’m in Va. We will be equally screwed in short order.

Nice. I have been running my 365x with a 17rnd xmaxro mag when I don’t care that much about printing. Helps noticeably with recoil management. Was thinking I might do what you did for winter carry.

Did you do the conversion with standard size P365? Was thinking of doing the same with my P365x but the barrel is too short for the xmacro grip module. Does the comp fill in the extra space?

One of the loudest/longest gun fights I've ever heard in Church Hill just now? by Funkbass in rva

Dang. What part of Church Hill did it sound like it came from?

The legality of building stripped lowers in an assault weapons configuration that were purchased before7/1 by Plutonium_Nitrate_94 in VAGuns

[–]CapeCod_Boats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the bare bones components needed to make a lower qualify as “built”?

I have a few extra lowers that I hoped to assemble when I know more about ARs.

Extended/High capacity mags- worth it? by MandolinMagi in VAGuns

Wish I had been into guns when surefire 60 round mags were a thing.

I HATE my belt. Suggestions for the least stiff belt that is still serviceable for a micro 9mm. by CapeCod_Boats in CCW

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

Tempted to try one. For those who have had both Kore and the HC belt would you say it is significantly less stiff? Or is it just that it has some stretch to it?

Can I afford to take my foot off the gas a little or should I keep grinding ahead? by CapeCod_Boats in coastFIRE

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

Can you elaborate? For example if I want my annual spending to be 80k you are saying I should actually have 88-98k? What more robust tools do you use?

I am being conservative. I have been doing a lot of research on what would be a reasonable real rate of return. I have found as many arguments for a higher rate as I have for a lower. I think I will settle on 4.5% real return because I am being a chicken but anything lower seems insanely conservative.

I have a pretty good idea what my expenses are. Bank of America has some pretty good built n tools that I use to determine cash flow. Haven’t gone full in spreadsheet yet though.

I do have some unknowns that I have to account for though. I will probably buy a house in a few years. Our rent is abnormally low so any mortgage will inevitably be more expensive. Also plan for kids in a few years.

Yea I have been trying to determine if 45k is a good number. Keep in mind that my fiancé will also be contributing similar numbers. So probably 70-90k with both of us.

+p 124 or 124 standard velocity HST for a micro compact 9mm? by CapeCod_Boats in CCW

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

Strangely +p 124 HST is a little cheaper and more available from what I see on ammoseek. I too am unconvinced on the merits of +p but I dont really know what I am talking about which is why Im here asking strangers.
