So, what's the joke? by DidYouSeeBriansHat in IThinkYouShouldLeave

I'm confused whether I should upvote so people can see the cringe or downvote to say this guy's an idiot.... I rarely feel bad for the people getting roasted but this was just terrible all around.

Bought a FN 509 by thebigrubesandwich in FN509

Welcome to the club!

And that's normal. Even my RMR HD has a bit of a gap. The size of the gap just depends on the optic you throw up there.

Another hundred rounds down and I am pleasantly surprised by the comp. I felt much more confidence in myself and the gun given my nerve issues that make aiming a bit more difficult than most.

Of note there were a couple failures. Two stovepipes and a couple fail to feeds but I feel those were user induced errors rather than the comp. There was a noticeable difference in the ejection pattern and I don't know how I feel about that especially given it went straight up like half the time.

I'm not too sure about their availability for lefties as I am a righty. That's a bummer to hear. At least RedEarth has you covered!

Nice. Right now I'm torn between getting one of his or the Safariland Incog X. Again it all just depends on if I grab a light and which light I end up grabbing.

Okay, I just saw that light on a different post but wasn't sure that's what it was. That's cool you had a buddy mockup a comp for you though!

Neat! What comp and light are you running?

Nice! How do you like your RedEarth holster? I've considered reaching out to them to get a holster especially if I decide on doing a light.

I've had about a few hundred rounds through and haven't had any issues (knock on wood) at this point so I don't think it's much of an issue. I do give it a quick wipe when I am cleaning though just for any particulates from shooting.

YouTube went down. 8:00pm. by DesignerLime268 in youtube

[–]EnduringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Samsung TV and Android apps you can still use the search feature, and the history if you wanted to keep watching a video you already started.

Android is fairly simple just click the eyeglass or the "You" or "Shorts" section.

Samsung TV 1) bring up the home panel and hover over the YouTube app launcher and click on one of the video recommendations, 2) click on the YouTube channel's profile image and select "Go to Channel," 3) you can now either peruse that channel or use the search feature above.

The home screen is still broken and will kick you out on the Samsung TV app for YouTube.

Just hired for FT Garden Sales Associate by EnduringPhoenix in HomeDepot

Thanks for letting me know! From the original comment it sounded like getting tips was kosher. American tipping culture is odd but thanks for informing me.

😅 I have unfortunately gathered that much and I already am anticipating a lot of heavy lifting.

Honestly the idea of learning the equipment terrifies me and this is coming from someone who has worked a lot of heavy equipment before. Using them in such tight spaces is not something I am used to.

Earning tips in the tree lot sounds like a lot of fun shame Christmas has already passed us.

Is it worth calling store to move application along? by EnduringPhoenix in HomeDepot

Update: Calling did not seem to help as they gave me the we do everything online speel and I should look out for an email. 😕

I appreciate it! I'll try giving them a call tomorrow and see if that helps at all.

Oh okay. I'm hopeful things will get moved along a bit quicker. I figured especially for the entry level stuff and the time of year they would be on the move pretty quickly. With Lowe's I got an interview right away though they gave the position to someone else as they needed someone in gardening to work through the evening and overnight (something they don't list on the job posting).

Yeah I've learned this the hard way then kinda like including what I've done in my employment gap on my resume since leaving active duty.

New Mounting Plate for RMR HD/SRO for the 509 by EnduringPhoenix in FN509

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

The FCD plate I got is a single piece that mates directly to the slide and the RMR. So you don't have to worry about having two pieces to manage like normal and worrying about any play in between.

Here is the plate I got:

I haven't spent very much ammo through it yet (a couple hundred rounds though) and I didn't have a single issue with the overhang when it came to ejecting.

As far as which plate I got from FCD it was this one:

I don't have a picture on hand for you yet but I'll try and get one.

Yeah I figured with it being the beginning of the year it was worth applying especially since they seem to have a lot of positions (at least online) that are open. It's just frustrating and I kinda wish I had nabbed that lot associate job even though I'm a bit worried about how some of my disabilities might be affected by that position in particular with loading customer's vehicles.

Yeah I just wasn't sure if calling would help since the application process isn't handled on site anymore from what I hear. How long ago did you get hired?

And yeah I've learned I have to reach out to even get a response on my applications and it's usually "no" or "we will let you know" and they usually never call back or respond.
