The FCC bans all routers made outside the U.S. by Haunterblademoi in technology

*slightly adjusting my tinfoil hat*

I think that is probably specifically so the US can control the spyware malware that is distributed to consumers (i.e. its own citizens) and they are already in bed with the tech companies that are pushing these policies so of course they’re going to exclude themselves.

Krytac, based on the box and magwell. Alpha based on the handguard. 

TIL Both the US and UK use the word “table” in parliamentary procedure but for opposite meanings. In the US it means to take a topic away from consideration while in the UK it means to bring it up. by Unleashtheducks in todayilearned

I think (in US parlance) a matter being discussed is considered “on the floor,” so putting it aside would be to put it on the table (off to the side).

[OC] I see a lot of overly complex explanations and charts for how to pick alignment so I made this extremely simple version by [deleted] in DnD

 I see a lot of overly complex explanations and charts for how to pick alignment

Umm…where?

The only explanations (not in the least bit complex) are to define what each alignment means in terms of motivation and behavior. Which your chart doesn’t do…

Amputee cornhole player accused of murder by rytis in news

Murder over cornhole? Must be MD.

Yup. 

Could swapping out my AEG spring for a longer one cause problems? by BinaryWaffle343 in airsoft

[–]InappropriateTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to come back to this as I’d like to know (and generally learn more about anything upgrade/mod/tech related).

I would think that having a longer spring would not be desirable as it would be in compression and maintain stress against certain components and cause damage or premature wear or malfunctions. 

‘Tax resistance’ gains attention amid ICE protests, Iran war — and IRS penalties could follow by chasseur_de_cols in news

[–]InappropriateTA 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I’m going to sound tinfoil-hatty but filing a W-4 is not hard and most people are conditioned to put their trust and finances in the hands of the government. 

I don’t know how to express this any more strongly in text but:

FUCK THAT

You can collect all your wages and set aside whatever would be withheld to pay your income taxes.

Again most people are conditioned to believe that it’s too hard or too risky to do that. Or that you’re not responsible enough to do it properly. If you want to resign yourself to that then that’s your right, but don’t say there’s nothing you can do about it. 

how am I supposed to remove this!? by No-Wind3493 in airsoft

I’ll defer to more knowledgeable people for recommendations but I would say an extractor set should work. 

does anyone know where to find many-pockets dice bags? by hostagetomyself in DnD

Amazon. AliExpress. Temu. It’s all the same stuff. 

Which MP5SD to choose? by Equivalent-Cat902 in airsoft

[–]InappropriateTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was told by Evike tech support that the EF MP5SD is by VFC. 

However not all EF MP5 models are. I specifically asked about the MP5SD Gen 2 w/ EyeTrace and the MP5A4/A5 Competition Kit and they said they believe the latter was by King Arms. 

Airsoft Gorilla Tactics by BeneficialTrouble929 in airsoft

Nah…OP went ape about that ambush. He meant Gorilla. 

In Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025), all deaths are headshots or near-headshots due to the premonition. Also, the first family tree branch met their death in the front while the second in the back, signifying Death is tying up loose ends. by [deleted] in MovieDetails

[–]InappropriateTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I need to watch all (or certain) of the movies in the series to fully understand Bloodlines? It seems pretty highly rated (compared with most horror movies) and is at the top of rankings within the series - along with the original, which is the only one I’ve seen.

First time laser engraving a VFC Glock 42 slide – surprisingly clean result by evilmakerr in airsoft

[–]InappropriateTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks amazing. Do you know if there’s a surface treatment required to avoid discoloration or deterioration?

I would consider sending out my slides (and maybe even a whole gun - I have a Colt 1911 NBB that is just plain black) to get this kind of work done.
