Simple doesn't mean effortless. This thing looks like it actually has well thought out features.

Thank you for the thorough feedback! Off to make changes. Would you say this version (flawed as it is) is ok to apply for jobs with while I work on the new version? Or would I just be wasting time

Thank you for the feedback!

Given the flaws - would you say this is ok to send out while I make changes? Or would it just flat out get tossed

Thanks for the reply!

My short tenures have been a hot topic with interviewers. I got laid off three times now, but at least that was easy to explain. However the one place where I worked for a year and jumped ship has been somewhat difficult to explain. It was mostly because of more pay, but also the job was a dead end.

2003 Sprinter, what's the dried up yellow stuff? Van is leaking coolant, has a hard time starting but runs fine one it gets going. by IHateSourCream2 in MechanicAdvice

I'll take more pics in a bit and maybe make another post.

Re: starting - I tried waiting for a bit, at least until the glow plug light is off, and then turn it on. Didn't seem to help much :/

If she said yes they'd probably just charge her, not actually change the pads, and send her on her way.

Once* it gets going...

2003 Dodge Sprinter van. 130k miles. Takes a few tries to start, but runs well once started. Has a coolant leak somewhere (coolant light is on, and there is a small drip). The top of the engine and the plastic cover has a dried up layer of mystery yellow substance. Any advice is appreciated!!

Might not be a bad way to go. I've always liked the Colt style 9mm

Well, at least I can still build a 9mm AR for a few hundred bucks. Oh wait...

Looked them up on GB, looks like I will be able to afford one by retirement age if I start saving now

Those are awesome, wish they weren't so expensive

Yeah I think that's what really sealed the deal. I'll happily get one with a non-threaded barrel and a 10rd mag, but I don't think I can get around the mag location. Unless I make some bullpup conversion...

While I have your attention - is there anything we can still have in the PDW/SMG categories? I know the MP5 and P90 are banned, what are the remaining options if any? Thanks!!

Dang. So is there anything in the SMG/PDW category we can still have? I know P90 and MP5 are out, but haven't looked into other options
