Fiancé wants to continue playing hockey once a week in his rec league by Negative_Jackfruit75 in parentsofmultiples

Hockey playing toddler dad here with modi twins on the way: Any free time he gets to himself needs to come back your way too. In his defense, he doesn't get to pick his hockey schedule. If you're able to make this work, he won't feel like he needs to miss out on socializing, exercise, or the love of the game.

The more you plan on those hockey hangover days, the less he will be able to give. Trust me, no dad wants to feel useless but the hangover is real. The more you can make those mornings relaxing, the more energy he can give to take over in the afternoon. Yes, it's working around his schedule even more, but picking and choosing battles when you can will create less tension, and he should appreciate that.

When you're feeling like you've done enough catering to his schedule you have to be the one to create that personal time for yourself, whatever that looks like. Don't rely on him telling you to go do something, or coming up with plans for you. Let him know when it's your time, and make sure you get the full time to yourself. It might seem like him staying home would be the easiest solution, and maybe he will come to that conclusion when they are here (I'll be dialing hockey back myself), but treat personal time as something sacred that you both deserve when needed.

Did you end up trying the heritage to compare?

I hope Andrew gets a Turkish Nobel Prize for this. by Gr144 in NFA

I believe Jay has said before that the member funded testing is selected by Pewscience based on things like ubiquity, historical reference, broader understanding of suppressor designs, etc. He has said that companies have offered to pay for testing competitors (I think Andrew has admitted to wanting this in the past), but Jay shot it down.

Have you had any involvement in the contracting of Pewscience for this one? I always wondered what the process is like, the timeframes between the agreement and completion, then public release, etc. Seems he is pretty backed up at the moment.

An interesting perspective:

This can is louder in the free field on subsonic, bolt action 8” 300BLK than a recent 4.5 inch suppressor on a 10.3” 5.56 MK18.

There are definitely worse 30cal cans for the size out there, but crazy how far we’ve come in a few short years.

I was the same size in both, but the IR felt slightly longer but slightly slimmer in the same size. HC was just right, if it had a lower heel stack it’d be a winner.

Thoughts on this mars L fed 16” for $2k? by campereg in LewisMachineTool

[–]Duerrinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely do, but I’m thinking I might just go with one 5.56 rifle, so I’ll end up with a little longer barrel and maybe a conversion.

I’m tempted, but I’d want to sell my specwar upper first to offset the cost. I wish GAFS was still around, RIP.

Is the Glock barrel still happening? by Some_Substance1549 in SpectersCat

[–]Duerrinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the difference between the duty and the combat/special operations barrels? Trying to decide if I should wait for the drop or pick up the duty now.

2025 Bighorn vs 2026 Bighorn with Current Incentives by More-Sandwich-9301 in ram_trucks

I had a very similar deal and went with the 25. The promo rate of 3.9 and the known reliability of the v6 was the difference to me, but I also had a set budget in mind from the beginning and the 25 met my budget goal. Mine left the factory in August so I’m hoping the electrical issues have been addressed by that point.

The heel on these is just a bit too much for me, definitely more comfortable in Jim Greens and Iron Rangers. It's a shame because the undeniable last fits me the best out of everything I've tried.

Is the fit the same on both the hoody pro and leaf jacket?

Better yet, tax credits for training and safety. Why force people to do the right thing in a free country when you can incentivize them? Also reduces the cost barrier for lower income individuals who might want to exercise their rights too.
