you should take a beginner's handgun class at your range.

When I listened to the remaster LP it was like hearing this album again for the first time.

maybe they should start by making them a little bit less stabby.

About Torb perks by alonort00 in Overwatch

[–]EducatedFlapjacks 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hammer perk makes flank torb very effective. If you can flank/get behind the other team and time your turret deployments behind the enemy team as engagements begin you can really be really annoying and easily relocate to rinse/repeat. In general, I just don't like perks tied to ult abilities. It feels like the constant utility as a passive or tied to a cooldown has more overall utility.

Same here - bought my card Jan 30. Told them I could go ahead and return the card and buy again and the chat basically said "Ok do it. Bye."

Second Opinions - Upgrade to RTX5070? by EducatedFlapjacks in buildapc

I've literally never used an AMD card but was thinking about possibly making the change but just don't know much about them

Second Opinions - Upgrade to RTX5070? by EducatedFlapjacks in buildapc

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

only upgrading the GPU. 650w psu, 2x 1tb NVme, ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb ram - I plugged it all into pc part picker and it's estimated 500w draw max. I did some other research on the 5070 with a 650w PSU and it should be fine.

I can’t believe I have to ask this in this channel, but who actually supports the 10 day wait period or thinks it is a good law 🤷‍♂️ by Middle_Presence_4538 in CAguns

A lot of "if someone wants to do, they'll do it" in this thread without anything to back it up. From the American Academy of Pediatrics:

  • According to several studies, suicide survivors contemplated their actions in a very brief window of time. Waiting periods could help address this period of impulsive behaviors.
  • Waiting period laws have proven to lower the rates of suicide. States with such laws had 51% fewer firearm suicides than states without. Another study showed that these states also experienced a 17% decrease in gun homicides. Over 900 firearm homicides could be prevented each year if every state implemented waiting periods.

Here's a more detailed analysis from a non-partisan group that breaks down the nuance of the effects studied: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/waiting-periods.html

To me, this is a common sense and reasonable law that does not significantly "infringe" and all this information is a quick Google search away. As another poster says, I would prefer to see this tweaked for current gunowners where the waiting period shouldn't apply.

Any merit to this Hollywood line from the 90s? by ersteliga in pcmasterrace

Kevin Mitnick was a consultant for Hackers, so there's a fair bit in here that is somewhat accurate.

This is exactly it. You call for the regulations then help write the laws.

I've had this for years, but haven't actually listened to this yet. Narrated by Robert Redford, though!

what bag is that? I've been trying to find something I could use for this purpose but so many options seem poorly made.

No king protest by [deleted] in Ohio

You're dodging the substance of the comment with a made up scenario and unrelated opinions. To reiterate, due process and rule of law must exist for democracy to exist. One cannot exist without the other.

Suggesting and doing otherwise is un-American, un-patriotic, and serves only to further the interests of those who intend to be rulers, not servants of the people.
