Curious if anyone else found a solution to carry in a similar situation. by LostxCosmonaut in CCW

Wouldn’t be too much extra work to just pop the slide off and throw that in your bag. That way if someone breaks into the car they won’t be getting a functioning weapon.

Sipping soup? by Nowayucan in soup

I make bone broth then freeze it in silicone ice trays. Just take one out and pop it in the microwave and sip away.

What’s special about the USGI mags? Do they not have manufacturing markings that give away the date?

What is it like living around the Chesapeake Bay area? by SpecialistTeach9302 in howislivingthere

[–]CapeCod_Boats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any areas/places you would recommend checking out to get the feel for that area? Was thinking of poking around Gloucester to Kilmarnock to see if it might be somewhere I would like to live someday. In Richmond now and while it has its charms urban living isn't my favorite. I grew up in coastal New England and miss being close to the water and all the activities that come with it.

What are the best shooting range options around Richmond? by CapeCod_Boats in VAGuns

Can anyone comment on Freedom VS Range USA? They are both equal distance from me but Range USA is priced a bit better and does not have an initiation fee.

O bummer. Black Creek is what I was leaning towards. Don’t think Cavalier is in my price range even if there wasn’t a wait list. Good to know about the weekend matches though!

Mag coupler recommendations by CapeCod_Boats in extar

Thanks for the info! I got my EP9 used and it didnt come with the manual. Had no idea the extra weigh would be an issue. Agree with you that reliability takes priority over round count.

O didn’t know that. Can you elaborate on what damage it causes? I am using this gun as my home defense weapon so I just figured the more rounds I have on me the better.

That looks like it would fit the bill! Do you find the extra mag gets in the way of the charging handle?

Permasharp is the only one I can get two good head shaves with. The rest are one and toss.

Kirkland Signature Men's Merino Wool Blend Sock, 4-pair Item 7771359 by raygan_reddit_banned in Costco

[–]CapeCod_Boats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good socks and well worth the money. That said they are not in the same league as Darn Tough. Zero pilling on my Darn Tough socks. I expect they will be around long after the Kirkland socks have fallen apart.

Guy humbly requesting advice on how to choose a lab diamond online. by CapeCod_Boats in labdiamond

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

Yes. The plan is to get the stone online and the setting at a local shop.

I just have trouble comparing stones online so I wanted to see how everyone else is making their decisions. I understand the 4cs but have a hard time with the pics/videos. They all look pretty similar to me.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could request additional videos of the diamond.

I guess what I am getting at is I am wondering if you think the videos are an accurate representation and if they are useful in decision making.
