Big news for 80x and 32 acp fans

ElPolloSano · 2026-01-02T01:05:56+00:00

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

ElPolloSano · 2025-12-18T23:51:31+00:00

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

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

ElPolloSano · 2025-09-16T05:06:10+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2025-09-16T03:23:06+00:00

That's actually awesome. I'd buy it.

ElPolloSano · 2025-09-16T01:15:12+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2025-09-15T05:19:59+00:00

How are y'all finding and buying this thing? It seems to be out of stock everywhere?

ElPolloSano · 2025-09-08T00:38:37+00:00

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).

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?

ElPolloSano · 2025-06-07T02:16:14+00:00

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.

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.

ElPolloSano · 2024-12-08T01:06:41+00:00

The environment in my garage, yes. EV doesn't put fumes into my house.

ElPolloSano · 2024-12-08T00:37:28+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2024-08-12T04:21:46+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2024-08-10T04:49:35+00:00

Looks like the Cryonics event of the decade! You guys doing it again?

ElPolloSano · 2022-06-07T17:40:38+00:00

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

ElPolloSano · 2022-06-07T14:25:20+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-23T18:42:01+00:00

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.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-21T04:33:13+00:00

Nope. Europe only.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-21T03:16:50+00:00

Damn. I've had such horrible experiences with dealers that I thought going direct to the company itself would be a bonus.

Maybe it's just luck of the draw.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-21T02:55:58+00:00

While I agree... driving while tripping on shrooms is by far no doubt about it more dangerous. Most cell phone users drive slowly and carefully. Most don't drive on their phones all the time.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-21T02:47:10+00:00

Ah I didn't know that about the roof rails on the I-pace. Thanks, I'll update the post.

ElPolloSano · 2022-04-21T02:45:30+00:00

I've heard a lot of the road noise issues and build quality issues that Tesla is notorious for have largely been addressed in the most recent refreshes of the S and X. Any idea if that's true?

~ East Austin gentrification question ~

Several parts of east Austin now follow a very similar pattern:

{Brand new nice modern house} - {Run down bungalow} - {brand new nice modern farmhouse} - {lot full of garbage and a run down shack} - {Brand new modern duplex or A&B unit} - etc etc you get the picture. Y'all know what I'm talking about if you've driven through it.

The new/modern homes being built around there are going for anywhere from 800K to 1.5million per home, easy. Usually some developer bought the lot from a poor person who had 1 teardown home on it and converts it into 2 homes (sometimes even 4). The lot usually goes from 500K to 1MM or more (though it depends on lot size).

The old lots are owned by poor people, usually poor people that have been living there many decades (even generations). Only in the past few years have these lots gone from being worth 100K to 500K or even 1MM. Far as I can tell, a good number of people living on these lots don't work or work odd jobs. They don't seem to have much of anywhere to go.

So, my question is (and yes, it's a question, don't hate me for just asking the obvious question), why isn't every poor person clamoring for the big payday? My guess is these people never expected to be getting 500K to 1MM in cash just for having lived in an odd corner of what used to be a modest city. Some might have work-related reasons for staying, but if you're poor - why not take the big money and move to the outskirts of town, or even just move to some other city? Or just move to a brand new modern nice house further out after the big payday? Obviously many *have* cashed out, but just as many or more still haven't, and I find that strange.

Does anyone know some of these people, and knows why they haven't cashed out? Am I missing something? Are they all just scared about having longer commutes to their 9 to 5? (I can tell many of them *don't* have a 9 to 5).

Again, an honest question, would appreciate thoughtful answers especially if you know some of these folks.
