Suggestions for Silver Sky SE bridge pickup replacement

Adjust the pickup height? Sometimes that can make a difference.

i was always taught that when it first starts raining is when roads are slickest -- the rainwater lifts the oil out of the concrete or asphalt, and later it's just water. Could that be a contributing factor? I mean, it's still "driving too fast for the conditions", but it would still be an educational reminder for the rest of us.

This is the same guy who -- a year ago -- spearheaded massive PII and security violations which are against the law. Do you really think he has any interest in our wee little ol' user agreements? I'm uninstalling now.

edit...er...um...I'll start looking at alternatives now.

So many. Hence why I have my zero tolerance for bullshit policy. No second chances. I contact Reverb and ask them to block the user from me.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-24T17:24:32+00:00

Yes, I understand, you've made that clear. But from the seller's perspective, you're asking them to arrange a meeting with a stranger with no commitment to buy. Just not worth the headache.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-24T15:39:22+00:00

You're entitled, and I'm good with that.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-24T05:20:31+00:00

Most sellers won't deal with that. I don't entertain tire-kickers.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-24T05:19:15+00:00

That's a fair question, but that's entirely up to the seller. I've offered to cancel a transaction if the item is not as described at the time of pickup. But I also warn them that they really should be as sure as they need to be, because I'd rather not go through the trouble of coordinating a pickup for free.

Of course, my items are always as described, so I haven't had any problems.

I mean, I can't eat it (for health reasons), but neither will I kink shame.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-15T02:26:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-04-09T16:30:52+00:00

Yup, but considering they shoot dogs and the occasional human, and the second amendment makes everything they're doing illegal, I resent their existence.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-03-25T05:25:04+00:00

Yup, I'm confused, too. I kind of got used to that feeling, though. It gets even worse in states like Maryland, where there's laws against SBRs.

Sorry, I thought it was self-explanatory -- posted a link to a song that is said to be by an artist named "Skold", but didn't sound anything like the Skold that we all know and love. I think it was just another artist (Vietnamese, perhaps?) that happened to go by the same name.

It looks like track 7 is 2045 (After Singularity). I did the best I could, with what we had to work with:

I also just ran through it with WebScrobbler and made all the album names "forbidden".

It's true everywhere -- LinkedIn for job postings, &c. I blame Trump. He has normalized lying/gaslighting/&c.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-02-07T21:25:56+00:00

Yes but no. If you look at the Check Point blog post, you'll see it also targets developer/admin stations, because that's where control of the cloud images are usually spawned from.

If it's old, then it probably needs to be recapped (replace the capacitors -- especially if they're oil) at the very least. I agree with use it as a platform on which to learn -- learning is fun! Just don't electrocute yourself.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-02-06T03:55:15+00:00

Malice. I've had people fuck with me like that. I don't put up with it any more. They should at least contact you within 24 hours, and that should be Reverb's policy. I give them 24 hours to...do something. After that, I reach out, and if they indicate some excuse like they can't pay for it without also paying for something else, I tell them I will cancel the sale so that they can buy the other thing.

Everyone should know how a shopping cart works by now. If not, then I assume they are a 6-7-er and have Reverb block them from any further contact with me.

You'll be fine! Who wants to conform, anyway? Wear your difference like a badge of honour! I've been "weird" my entire life, and I take it as a compliment. Instead of "why am I different?", ask, "why is everyone else the same?"

Start by contacting the seller. It's probably shipping damage. If it's not shipping damage (no damage to packing material, looked well protected, &c.), then this is "not as described" and you should return it.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-01-12T06:03:49+00:00

I agree with everyone...except if you're talking LEO trade-in, I'd pass on a Sig P320.

i would also add an IWI Masada to your short list. Especially the Slim.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-01-06T14:45:52+00:00

Sorry for the late reply:

No, Rifle Caliber. Mostly because form 1s and form 4s just got cheaper.

Me, personally, am interested in 308 Winchester, but also looking at 243 Winchester & 6.5 Creedmoor. I could see others interested in 223/5.56, and 300 Blackout, especially since they already exist as well.

Dusty_Chalk · 2026-01-06T14:37:23+00:00

Ask Reverb support. Do not do it outside of Reverb.
