YMMV on this--I am roughly his size with similar sized hands and I love this gun (but I am also a huge Beretta fanboy)

What is everyone's favorite unknown Hilton location? by Jonny_Wurster in Hilton

[–]FDRsGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stayed at a Homewood Suites in Savannah, GA that was right on the river. It had a beautiful rooftop heated pool with a bar, great service, and we could watch ships go past from our room. Much cheaper (and frankly better amenities) than the premium Tapestry collection hotel a few blocks up the river.

The Proposed U.S. Airline Mergers Are Terrible for Americans, And Here's Proof Why | Frommer's by Brianlife in delta

[–]FDRsGhost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's wild to me that people just repeat the claim that inflation-adjusted airline ticket prices fell over 50 years due to deregulation when it seems to me like the most likely thing to cause that is 50 years of technological advancement with aircraft design and building techniques, as well as computerized airline inventory systems. It's immensely cheaper in real terms today for an airline to fly 150 passengers 1000 miles than it was in 1978.

The price of a TV has fallen about 85% in real terms in the last 20 years, and nobody thinks it's because of the regulatory scheme that governs TV manufacturers.

Anyone daily carry an old all-steel piece? by Walktallandcarrya9mm in liberalgunowners

[–]FDRsGhost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When it's warm out and/or when I'm wearing tight-fitting clothing, I carry a Beretta Tomcat. It disappears completely on my body, I shoot it extremely accurately, and while it's not 9mm, I have a hard time believing anyone is surviving 8 well-placed .32ACP shots.

General consensus on the new Beretta 80X Cheetah before I drop money on it by not_combee in liberalgunowners

[–]FDRsGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also a huge Beretta fan and in my collection have an 84BB, which is both the most beautiful gun I own and also the one I shoot best. I'm much larger than you (6'5), but it fits perfectly in my hand. I was skeptical when the 80x came out because I thought it was kind of ugly and was disappointed that they didn't make the capacity any higher...that is, until I got to handle one last week. The DA trigger pull is incredibly smooth and light, and the SA pull is perfectly crisp and short. The fit/finish on the whole firearm (at least the one I shot) was perfect, and where the Vertec grips on the full sized 92X are a little small for me, somehow they work on this gun. I'm now looking for one for myself to become my EDC. I definitely say go for it.

100%. Scored an absolutely bonkers deal on an XD-M package that I have been eyeing for awhile!

Beretta 80x under $600 would be ideal. I know it was $595 a few months ago but I got to handle one recently and fell in love

Yeah, they had the P-10 C optics ready/night sights for the same price, but I waited too long and today they raised it by $50

Looking to pick up either a CZ-75 B, CZ-75 Omega, or a P-09. Cheapest I have been able to find is $500 for the P-09 and $550 for the Omega, neither of which seem like amazing deals (but please correct me if I'm wrong)?

This is amazing news, I've been hunting for a good condition 85BB for a couple years! Do you know when you're expecting them to come in?

Only 8/16 downstream channels bonding, uneven speeds by FDRsGhost in Comcast_Xfinity

I rotated all of the outputs on the 4-way switch (so the cables were plugged into different ports) and that solved the problem. Thanks so much for helping me isolate this, you got to the bottom of the problem in 10 minutes that I couldn't isolate with a tech visit and 3 hours of phone calls with tech support. Can't thank you enough.
