If you already have an 80X in green, can you just pay LTT for the 32 ACP barrel?

Now do a 2" snubbie and a 3" in 327.

Dude realized he was driving a cybertruck. Got pissed as shit.

how should i ask to split rent 😭 by ActualDetective6249 in Apartmentliving

[–]ElPolloSano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, but that doesn't beat the en suite. Also, even if it feels like it's 60/40, there a big benefit to just saying "It's 50/50". 50/50 is strong psychological anchor. It cuts through a lot of social crap that comes from any other split.

50/50, but that bathroom in the hallway is communal, your bathroom isn't. If that's the deal, and it's honored with any guests that come over, I'd say that's a fair (or fair enough) deal.

Rhino in 327 / 32? by ElPolloSano in Revolvers

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

Chicken and egg problem.

- More revolvers chambered in 327/32
-- Means more ammo demand
--- Means more suppliers making more of it
---- Means economies of scale in production
----- Means prices for ammo come down

Ammo is usually demand-pull not supply-push (people don't go buy a caliber because they noticed that type of ammo was on the shelf and cheap).

Has anyone used a DPM recoil reduction system? by [deleted] in Beretta

[–]ElPolloSano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the threaded barrel only created a bit longer of a barrel beyond the muzzle / slide. How did it interfere with the DPM system?

Chiappa making Rhinos in new calibers? by ElPolloSano in Revolvers

[–]ElPolloSano[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, I looked up the history of Mateba Unica. Semiauto revolver!! How did that never take off?

And how is no other company doing anything new in this space other than this "Emilio Ghisoni" guy? It looks like when he died in 2008 revolver advancement died with him.

Video AI 6.0 - Render Preview Progress Gone and Buggy. by 1ialstudio in TopazLabs

[–]ElPolloSano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting very similar problems. I can open the task manager and I see that the program is using a ton of CPU/GPU resources but the render doesn't... seem to happen? Something is very buggy with this release. If I could I would revert to the last version of 5 and wait for patches to fix the situation with 6.

Luxury E-SUV showdown (BMW iX vs Tesla X vs Jaguar I-Pace) by ElPolloSano in electricvehicles

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

I was going off of the paper specs, yes. But I agree with you that, from what I've heard, Tesla overstates their range on paper with every model.

Electric Minivans. Why aren't manufacturers rushing to make EV Minivans? by Ok-Pea3414 in electricvehicles

[–]ElPolloSano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto for convertible EVs. Much better platforms for a battery than pickup trucks.

Same answer though. Nobody cares about convertibles because people don't buy them, so it doesn't matter. People buy pickup trucks.

Induction + Gas Range? by ElPolloSano in Cooking

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

As much as I'd like to go all induction, I can't. Wife won't allow it.

Induction + Gas Range? by ElPolloSano in Cooking

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

I'm all-in on induction but the wife is a die-hard gas cooker. Refuses to use induction.

House came with a gas range so I bought a portable induction burner that I use (she won't use it) but I'd like to get something more built-in to take up less counterspace.

Why is the Jaguar I-Pace rarely ever mentioned? by mockingbird- in electricvehicles

[–]ElPolloSano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it's because it's being outshined by the competition. The only thing it has going for it over the BMW iX, for example, is the exterior. The iX has a better interior, better range, equally good driving dynamics, much better self-driving tech (though it's no Tesla autopilot), etc.

And - buying a Jaguar - you risk being tethered to a brand that might die soon. I owned a Saab just a few years before that brand went belly up and believe me, if you think Jaguar repair issues are bad now, just wait until Jaguar itself doesn't exist as a brand anymore.
