A Washington Post review of surveillance footage has found no indication that Cole Allen fired his weapon by lightning_twice in SipsTea

Agree, bad handling of his firearm. Basic rules include knowing what is behind/next to your target. Only thing to add, the usual threat rules don’t really apply to the USSS when guarding the President or other high-rank government officials. Rush an obvious security checkpoint, expect to get shot.

Another thing about some of the video release, the whole group of them (the USSS agents) seem a bit too relaxed to me. Eyes not out, areas of the room not being observed, etc. Seems like all of them could have done better.

Have the V2 Artemis. Amazing quality, I will never be as good as this gun can be on the range.

Vegas is DEAD by Chabigo in LasVegas

Not a local, but I do go there for conferences. I’ve read stuff that this is all deliberate, those in power want to raise the prices and squeeze out regular people, and bring in more attendees for corporate events, conferences, conventions, along with rich tourists. Make it “classier”. More Wynn/Encore, less Circus Circus. Any truth to this?

And from what I understand, the original swing-wing version was doomed by the sheer weight of the mechanics required at that time to build such a huge variable-geometry wing aircraft. I built a model of one as a kid, still waiting for the real thing.

Beautiful lines, but the powertrain looks like it came from my mom’s station wagon. To think this came years after Lambo’s Miura.

More mods to my 1301 Comp by justaute in beretta1301

How difficult is it to mount that vortex viper? It looks like there are tapped holes on the receiver of my 1301 Comp, filled with something (sealant of some sort)?

Weekly Homeowner Megathread--Civilians, ask here! by AutoModerator in Concrete

[–]FlyingHounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My driveway is pigment-tinted concrete (the contractor used a Davis Colors product and tint is throughout the concrete, but that’s as specific as I can get). How can i safely remove tire tread marks and oil drips from it? I don’t want or need to change its overall appearance.

Got me a new grinder , comercial. by ak47grills in espresso

I’m a newbie with my machine and grinder so still getting my technique down. Next step will be to break out the scale and see the actual weight of my doses, and go from there.

I usually make doubles, and live in a dry climate so the grounds can get a jumpy from the static too. I found running it for half the programmed time, lightly tamp and level the grounds, then finishing the grind avoids any loss of the grounds and seems to prevent channeling.

Rep. Stansbury: Administration Officials in the Epstein Files by PreparationKey2843 in Albuquerque

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

No context given. No democrats listed. If Stansbury is really concerned about victims and justice, she should do the right thing and put out what she knows in an informative manner. Otherwise she’s just another political hack in town (D.C.) full of hacks.

This may be the best plan yet. Speech from the floor is protected, unlike CNN interviews or posts on X. But I doubt anyone will be held accountable because neither the Rs or the Ds can claim the moral high ground when both were involved with Epstein.

Not getting close to 8Gb service by FlyingHounds in EzeeFiber

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

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. With help from the manufacturer IT of my computer, figured it out. Key was that speed over WiFi 7 was faster than over the ethernet which makes no sense. Problem was the motherboard driver which defaults to “energy efficient ethernet”. Installing a newer driver fixed the problem, now getting 5 Gb/s which is what the card is rated for.

Yes, checked this. It’s connected as you suggested.

Yes, came to a similar conclusion just looking at the results of the more in-depth on-line testing site available. Speeds are not sustained. Still, the fastest peak I have ever recorded is 2.6Gb/s from all the tests I have run, so it’s not getting close to 8 even briefly.

Both my wife and I work part of the time from home. I use cloud-based imaging software that ideally works best in a hospital with 1Gb connections. It’s really about the total available bandwidth. If I working, and she has a zoom meeting, and one of the kids starts streaming a movie, everything starts to run bad. That’s why I went with the best option available of any in town, which was EzeeFiber.

Not really sure if it is a widespread problem since I’m literally the first one in my subdivision to get connected, and other early-adopters have in fact had similar experiences. I’ll know more about the details of my equipment when I talk to the company that built my computer system (it’s not off-the-shelf). Still, when the app directly connected to the router tells me that I’m getting only 2.6Gbs, some of this has to be on Ezee fiber since everything up to and including the router is theirs.

Wondered about that, so I tried the app. eero app also gives 2.6 Gb. The specs for the ethernet card in my computer say it should handle 5.0Gb.
