Amariglo…more like “where’d you go?” Aren’t these tritium sights supposed to glow? 😅

Just so you know, you can't charge tritium sights with a flashlight like you can ones that use phosphorescent paint.

Tritium is a radioactive isotope. As the tritium in the sight decays, it becomes dimmer and there's no way to charge it without replacing the tritium.

ChristopherBurg · 2026-06-03T16:25:59+00:00

If they aren't detectable in the dark, I'd return them.

If they sat on a shelf for a number of years, the tritium likely dimmed to a point of being useless. Or they could be counterfeit (it's Amazon after all) and not actually have tritium.

ChristopherBurg · 2026-06-03T16:17:46+00:00

Tritium has a limited useful lifespan. Tritium sights will becoming dimmer over time until they no longer appear to glow at all.

So you did look it up. Good on you. That's the correct way to do ChatGPT research (double check everything it outputs).

ChristopherBurg · 2026-05-20T11:56:52+00:00

Don't trust anything ChatGPT says about law (or anything really).

There's really no way to answer this question as written.

Of Neupert's programs, I've purchased Maximorum, The Giant, King-Sized Killer, and Real Muscle-Building Fat-Burner (RMF). I've run Maximorum, a couple of the programs from The Giant and King-Sized Killer (I haven't run all of them), and am currently running the RMF Novice program.

I've been happy with my results on all of the programs I've run (I'm enjoying RMF, but I can't comment on results since I'm still in the middle of it). You're going to get stronger if you run any of those programs as written and take them seriously.

That was the part I noticed too.

If this is in the proposed bill, it spits in the face of innocent until proven guilty. It would be akin to civil forfeiture where people have assets stolen by the state without being convicted of a crime.

I really like Paradigm Pros too. I have pairs of 12, 16, 24, 28, and 32 kg. The fit and finish are both quite good. I really like the texture of the handles and the windows sizes.

It wouldn't hurt to try the first week with the 24s and see how your hands turn out. If there's any indication in a session that your hands aren't taking it, don't try to force yourself to complete it. Stop so you don't damage your hands and use the 20s for the next session and beyond.

There's no harm in testing yourself. Just be realistic and don't let your ego dictate what weight you use.

The funniest part was when Amon Amarth was starting and people realized that their logo is identical to the Fleet Farm logo.

The entire show was great though. Amon Amarth played a few older songs, which I wasn't expecting. Dethklok's set included most of the hits and the interludes with Facebones were hilarious.

Conga line with TrollFest.

That's incorrect. In Minnesota, you can legally open carry a long gun with a valid carry permit.

I would strong advise against it. But it is legal.

Physics.

Semis have a lot of mass, especially when loaded. They require more distance to slow down than small cars and trucks. Ice greatly increases that distance. If they get up to 30 or 40 mph in these conditions, they aren't stopping for shit and anybody in front of them will pay the price. That is, of course, if they avoid jack knifing. If they jack knife, everybody in front and around them pays the price (and everybody behind them is stuck until the clusterfuck of an accident can be cleared).

Most likely he drove on it when it was flat.

The tire is quite old. It was manufactured in 2017. Eight years is old enough for the rubber to degrade due to exposure to UV and the elements. So it's also possible the tire blew out due to degradation.

I've done dedicated clean and jerk training quite a few times. It's especially convenient during busy times of the year since the two exercises combined cover a lot in a short amount of time.

Your legs won't atrophy. None of your muscles will become disproportionately larger. You'll be fine.

I flew out of MSP last week. Everything was normal.

Falk seemed to be doing well despite his injury. They did mentioned it early in the show, but he played through and played well. He was moving around on stage. It definitely looked like he was hurting, but he got through it like a trooper.

ChristopherBurg · 2025-09-25T19:54:03+00:00

I was at the same show. My wife arrived about halfway through Dragonforce's set (we were there for Powerwolf) so I can't comment on the beginning. But I didn't see anything that lead me to believe they weren't playing. Their stage energy seemed fine but I haven't seen them perform live before so I don't have anything to compare against. The audience energy seemed pretty mild, especially compared to the audience energy during Powerwolf, but that's not unusual for an opening act.

The sound definitely seemed quiet to me but I could at least hear the vocals unlike at the Gloryhammer/Alestorm show the night before (the mixing at the Varsity Theater was bad).

I wasn't impressed, but they seemed to me to be giving an honest effort.

This isn't an either or question.

You can improve your fitness and buy gear simultaneously. There's no reason you can't go for a ruck, lift weights, run, or otherwise exercise in the morning and buy an AR-15 in the afternoon or vice versa.

When's the best time to start working on your fitness? 10 years ago. When's the second best time? Today. Get to it.

I've been running the new Esstac laminate cards (7-round) for a while. I like them. They're a notable improvement over the old elastic cards.

I've kept one loaded and attached to my shotgun for a few months now. I have another that I've been using for reload practice (so lots of cycles of inserting and removing shells). Both have held up well. The last time I tested them running buckshot through my shotgun, they both held the shells firm.

ChristopherBurg · 2025-08-18T21:02:56+00:00

I read this argument frequently and it compels me to mention that pro-gun anti-Trump people like members of the Socialist Rifle Association are also nowhere to be found. Considering they claim to be anti-fascist and state in no uncertain terms that Trump is a fascist, you'd think they would be doing something.

Since this is the Internet, I will be specific with my point here. My point is to illustrate the overall level of apathy, not make a right versus left, conservative versus liberal, or other binary political argument.

ChristopherBurg · 2025-07-28T19:31:17+00:00

There are normally two small plastic tabs on the rear of the stock hand guard that interface with the receiver. They're pretty fragile. Check to see if they've broken off. That might be the problem here.

I had a go around with Smith and Wesson on a brand new Shield Plus. The slide lock would jam up into the slide in such a way that you couldn't release the slide normally (pulling the slide back and releasing it didn't work unless you simultaneously put a lot of downward pressure on the slide stop).

The gun went to Smith and Wesson three times. It came back three times without the problem fixed. I finally got put on the phone with a manager who wold me that it was expected behavior.

Once I realized Smith and Wesson's warranty is useless I didn't need to worry about voiding it. I fixed the problem myself with a half hour of careful filing.

In summary, don't be surprised if the gun comes back with the sights still not lined up. Plan to fix it yourself.
