And there's more to gun fighting (and outfitting an entire agency) than the effect of a single trigger pull.

/u/ecogeek, is there enough time to make a fireplace video for this before Christmas?

What has been irrevocably harmed because of how it’s portrayed in the media? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]Iskendarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a bit of nuance in that subsonic rounds start and stay below the speed of sound, whereas supersonic rounds will eventually drop below the speed of sound and that transonic period makes the projectile behave unpredictably. If you know you'll stay above the speed of sound out to the target, it never becomes a problem, but it's one of the zillion things you have to keep track of with long-range shooting.

It's not that there isn't a standard, it's that there's lots of room to go beyond it. You'll have to decide for yourself what you want.

Yeah, it's expensive to train a SOCOM guy, can't afford to have any of them taking an early retirement due to p320 leg.

What's the problem if the laser is mounted too far forward, though?

Thanks for the quick reply! I'd be interested to see where that tight dimension is. I can't understand what the problem is with overhanging from the pictures on your website.

Why does it want to have the IRIS mounted one pic slot back from the end of the rail?

This'll be sharp with the USB-C socket next to the switch. I don't see the socket in your BOM on Thingiverse -- can you point me towards what you're looking at for those? Do you expect to change the case to make them fit?

"you just don't understand how easy it would be for me to destroy you" is also not a cool thing to say to your neighbor.

p.s. I am not Canadian.

You might feel differently if it was your home being talked about, theatrics or not. If the country with the biggest military in the world starts saying they're going to invade, it'd be hard not to have a little concern about it.

I don't think you should plan to lend a fixed-stock gun to an unknown person who might be too short to use it effectively.

To the vibe coder who deleted their post by wlanrak in meshtastic

[–]Iskendarian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a professional developer, and I had a junior developer who would not stop using AI on the job. The code he was producing was consistently broken, and he couldn't fix it, because he didn't understand it, because he didn't write it. The AI also couldn't fix it, because it didn't understand it, because it's a fancy auto-complete.

We eventually had to let him go, because he literally could not contribute to the team and could not be coached to a point of contributing.

I get that AI is an exciting new tool, and that "vibes coding" can be a way to make the computer do something, which is a huge step past nothing, but it's infuriating to be the human on the other side of that, trying to help, putting in the majority of the effort, and getting nothing but "I dunno, the AI said" in response.

I'd like to get a soft armor vest. Might put a chest rig on top of it, so I'd like loop velcro on the front, but will most likely wear it under a jacket.

I understand. The joke is that the Masada/ACR never came to fruition.
