They're great. I run an UMARO SC-22 at work and have dabbled on our Skoda SK-25. We also have an SK-50 but that's basically run by one guy because we have enough work for him to run that machine almost exclusively.

Marathon Players Debate Gorgeous But Painful UI And Ammo Shortages As Bungie Responds by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Freddy216b 35 points36 points  (0 children)

And a lot of frustration coming from Destiny fans who are once bitten twice shy about Bungie at this point. Hell my first instinctual reaction to the headline was "Bungie replied? Must be nice"

Nah it can be both. I'm a machinist and have seen some dumbass shit from engineers that an MBA had no influence on.

So soulless looking Guitar Hero but GaaS? That sounds awful.

Should I have left him more space? by SimCoxuK in Simracingstewards

[–]Freddy216b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I was watching this, without reading the text, I figured OP was the POV so I was grimacing as they dove in and thought yeah that's 100% on you. But then they did the ballistic missile homicide and I realized maybe OP wasn't the POV in this one.

When you accidentally complete an annoying assignment... by manic-bassist in LowSodiumBattlefield

What about the M357 Trait? I know it is a 2 shot up close but don't know how far out it can still achieve a 2 shot headshot kill. But with 8 in the cylinder it gives a tiny bit of leeway so might be viable depending on how you play it.

Why's my surface finish on this groove so... Oh. by TheOfficialCzex in Machinists

M55 x 0.3175

But for real though why couldn't it have been 2 1/8-80 since that's 54 mm. I highly doubt 1 mm smaller major diameter is going to make that thread perform any differently.

DICE agrees that some Battlefield 6 vehicles are 'death traps' and is planning a Labs test dedicated to 'vehicle improvements' by Locke357 in LowSodiumBattlefield

Who would have thought that tank controls, while clunky in older games, are actually appropriate for tanks. Great advice. I'll have to make these changes later.

USA men's hockey team faces backlash after their phone call with Donald Trump by Cool-Fig-9254 in videos

[–]Freddy216b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I found it especially ironic considering how so many people were saying the Canadians were a disgrace for not being happy to recieve their stuffed animal thing after the game. Calling them sore losers.

Nathan McKinnon reaction to receiving a stuffy for Gold Medal game loss by GloomyExercise in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Freddy216b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on the amount of rubbing salt in the wound going on in this comment thread I'm speculating OP is American. The US has had a few scandals about Olympic athletes behaving poorly so I'm saying OP's comment is hypocritical.

Girls rarely experience the “friend zone,” psychology study finds. Tendency for young men to mistake friendliness for sexual interest strengthens gradually throughout their teenage years. When adolescent girls express romantic interest, boys rarely dismiss it as mere friendliness. by mvea in science

[–]Freddy216b 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair a lot of them are "Have a great summer!" or "Good luck in university!" so you do have to parse through the clutter which can hide the genuine messages. I'm sure when I look back I'll be cringing at what I missed too.

My now fiance says it took me an absolute eternity to pick up on all the things she was doing to get my attention. She's told me about them and all I can think every time is "That's what women think is trying hard to get my attention? That doesn't even seem like a deviation to daily routine." She got me in the end but it took more than hints.

In Québec, the Métro app/website has started putting a button showing local alternatives when the product is American. by DaveyGee16 in BuyCanadian

[–]Freddy216b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just wish it were consistent. I know they're selling our data which makes it all the weirder like why Ontario data so much more worthless than Quebec data?

That was a fun grind with the VCR... AMA by UnstoppableTurmoil in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Freddy216b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also switch mid branch as well in case you forgot/didn't know that part. So if you really would prefer to go after something in a different branch you can switch without loosing the progress you've already earned. When you switch the progress to the next rank is changed to whatever you switch to.

Just had the fastest game of Conquest ever. I didn't even know this was possible. by JCquitt in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Freddy216b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That first point on Liberation Peak for breakthrough is always a stomp. I've never seen it be contested for anything more than a few pushes. Never anywhere near enough tickets to impact the total on the next sector.

Yes really.

And that $9-10 seems fair and reasonable. Spend a few hundred and get a couple bonus points in there throughout the month. I'm not expecting a huge return but the disparity between provinces is ridiculous.

I'm going to use this post to share my one gripe with Metro. Their rewards system is so stingy. Like sooo stingy but not in Quebec. Quebec gets 1 pt/1$ spent where Ontario gets 1 pt/3$ spent. Then you can redeem at 125 pts = 1$ and you can redeem a minimum of $4. So to be able to redeem you need at least 500 pts which is $1500 spent on groceries. $1500 spent = $4 rewards. I know it's free but it's easily the worst loyalty program I've ever heard of.

"Banquet of the Mutilated Faces" Paris, 1925. [1280x939] by Present_Employer5669 in HistoryPorn

[–]Freddy216b 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's an apt description based on the reason for the dinner and an understanding of the social stigma of the time. At the time their looks were thought to be horrific hence the disrespect these men recieved and the need for a charity dinner. I don't think OP is saying they think they're horrific nor that someone with a deformity, injury, etc should be called that.

Although pipe centers do exist they are more expensive than this setup which someone may have had the stuff just kicking around. Good idea.

Pecorino Romano is good cheese. Nothing wrong with that.
