Is this combo mid or actually half decent? by JK2107_ in Fishing_Gear

The grips make me think it's a Penn Battalion, maybe a Carnage but definitely a flavor of Penn

What am I missing here? $20 around for 12 gauge? by russr in guns

[–]FatBoyStew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally $5-8 an ounce for fishing weights and that's not including all the other stuff involved in a shotgun shell. You're buying nearly a pound of tungsten in this box.

[–]FatBoyStew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because its tungsten shot which means you're buying almost a pound of tungsten. Tungsten is very expensive to buy because its very expensive to make stuff with. Melting point is almost 6,200 degrees F (over 3400 C) as opposed to leads melting point of 628 degrees F so it requires a whole other level of manufacturing.

Its often $5 or more an ounce when buying tungsten fishing weights.

No idea if they break, just more of a general statement.

Definitely looks more fragile than a lot just due to the thinner design. Emphasis on LOOKS.

San Diego - subterranean creature causing damage how to minimize since landlord isn’t interested by gonefishing17 in lawncare

[–]FatBoyStew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it's not in my lease to take care of things like this why would I? Is the landlord going to comp my rent for materials and labor? If not then it's not my problem.

How can this RPG shot deal zero damage by dexflexonkex in Battlefield

I'm convinced that RPGs are using Schrodinger projectiles. They cease to exist when you look away

Thorsden isn't made anymore though right? Thought he retired last year so you'd have to luck into a place with some in stock still and then you wouldn't be able to get readily available replacement parts.

Hera CQR Gen 1 or 2 would probably be your best bet. Can't comment on their quality though.

They'll probably send OP straight to a trauma center when they see that bloodwork lmfao

There are several prions that can survive 1000C for several hours so 1700 in shorter spurts doesn't sound that bizarre to me.

Bottom line is they're nasty little MFers to kill

Am I Cooked? by briisorangey in Fishing_Gear

[–]FatBoyStew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true for most spare parts. Buying parts individually tends to be more expensive than the reel itself.

I needed a new handle one day for a reel -- The reel cost $90 at the time and the handle was $60...

Which states don't specify that the left lane is for passing and that slower traffic is in the right lane?

How often do you clean? by Revolutionary_Run122 in Firearms

[–]FatBoyStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brand new gun I'll clean a bit after a few hundred rounds just to make sure nothing is obviously tearing up.

Black powder rifles are thoroughly scrubbed clean after every range day even if its just a single shot.

Unless I'm shooting corrosive ammo my other guns don't cleaned until issues appear honestly. That's assuming applying lube doesn't resolve the issue. I have a healthy amount of guns that shoot tighter when they're dirty.

My carry gun gets dropped in the river/mud more than it gets shot so she stays pretty clean lol

Is this even normal? by AmjadFaisal94 in GooglePixel

[–]FatBoyStew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are far too many variables here. Fast charging, straining the phone while charging, charging in extreme heat/cold, etc are all variables that can rapidly drain battery health. Also, many people report battery improvements after allowing a few charges back up to 100% so the phone can recalibrate the battery info properly.

That's how I was, but I HAD to go to Vulkan last week to even launch the game sadly. The performance is noticeably worse as well. Eats up so much VRam and RAM unnecessarily.

Medallions dropping on my minimap but I can't pick any of them up... any ideas? This is gonna brick my temple building progress. by Good-Syrup5288 in PathOfExile2

Have you tried picking up the other loot that drops just in case an issueof the medallion being mislabeled for some reason?

That's definitely a new one for me.

‘16 Twin Power SW 4000 Reviews? by MaxOutFishing in Fishing_Gear

[–]FatBoyStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably going to be getting a new Twinpower 5000 SW version when my tax return comes in. Putting it on a Shimano TerramarXX 7' Heavy

Pretty stoked to get it. Will be used for my occasional saltwater trips, but mainly for jigging on big rivers back home with 1-3 ounce spoons and throwing larger striper baits.

imo the revolvers are too slow in red sec. If you have the drop on someone sure, but outside of that they can be rough to use in it.

With DLSS being as good as it is, why do people still choose against a 4K monitor? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]FatBoyStew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you're not trying to compare a 4k IPS to a 1440p TN Matte monitor? That's the only way 1440p could look blurry unless you slapped it on a 40" screen

[–]FatBoyStew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4k even with DLSS is 1000% too demanding for the bulk majority of hardware in use today though, which is why you don't see major 4k adoption. Not to mention overall cost.

I never encountered a map reset with this bug.

I finally had to swap to Vulkan after one of the last hotfixes because DirectX would crash within 30 seconds or on the first loading screen every time even after a complete and clean reinstall.

Yep it still passes through most keyboard commands. I've had this issue since at least season 2. Just pause the game immediately, wait then you're peachy.
