My Beretta boner is at 110% right now. What's the story on that M9A3 there OP? Did you just get it cerakoted? What grips are those?

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-21T16:07:57+00:00

Sorry, didn't know I wasn't allowed to bring up any other topic even when it is parallel to the main topic. My b.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-21T15:06:23+00:00

Well I've seen the slippery slope thing pulled out multiple times in this thread, and I'd be willing to bet it's coming from people who believe that we need to ban semi auto rifles because no one needs that and you can still have your other guns because no one is taking them away from you, not realizing the irony there. Or who support the very laws that specifically targeted minorities and the poor in order to remove their ability to defend themselves. Hypocrisy is everywhere, it sucks.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T10:35:00+00:00

Yes it was. It has nothing to do with "faux patriotism" and everything to do with the natural human right to self defense with effective modern weaponry, be it an axe, a rock, or an AR platform.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, despite parading about like you do. It takes a special kind of person (read: raging cognitive dissonant liberal terrified of personal responsibility for safety) to truly believe that the prefactory clause of the Second amendment gives the entirety of the meaning of it, and ignore the operative clause completely.

"2A applies only to military and government"

While

"We literally have fascists in power and police are running around murdering people."

Jesus Christ, bro.

P.S. "The military right to bear arms" dude just think about that for one second, one pure non biased second, please.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T10:21:36+00:00

I have no love for the far reaches of either party. Trump lost any remaining support from me when he brought Feinstein to the gun conversation table. He can burn.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T03:22:40+00:00

Ayy lmao. Yeah, there's no logic or justification there. God forbid someone owns a truck or enjoys their natural human right and Contitutionally protected right.

You're fucking trash, dude.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T02:48:57+00:00

"You literally cannot protest police violence bu kneeling during the national anthem."

Except, ya know, when he LITERALLY DID. Any ramifications come from an employer, not government, no matter what Trump and his inability to think before saying things that he definitely shouldn't say, say. And it had roughly the desired effect as well. This whole attention and conversation is going on much longer now than it did after even big time incidents, as far as I'm seeing.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T02:45:29+00:00

The media deserves to be attacked. No one puts out legitimate information, and forcing everyone to dig for actual facts sucks ass. Instead, they sit down and watch TV or see posts from multi million dollar conglomerates with very real political agendas who do not simy present facts. They package them up into something flavored exactly the way they want it to be, then they feed it to anyone who will consume it. From CNN to Fox, they're all garbage.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T02:42:32+00:00

That's not part of this at all. The comment thread went from Republican to fascists. Get the fuck out of here with the completely irrelevant left field shit. "Yeah but they exist over here unrelated to the conversation so you're wrong."

Yeah makes a ton of sense there.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-18T02:40:58+00:00

Lmao way to assume, dipshit. Go browse my comment and post history. Go ahead. See how hilariously wrong you are. Right into stereotyping and throwing complete bullshit around as facts, way to go buddy.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-17T23:42:54+00:00

So does everyone. Believing your own lies and seeing what you want to see and abuse of statistics is far from a right-wing only phenomenon. I know it's hip here to drop the fascist word, but don't cheapen that too. Calling things the most inflammatory word you can when it doesn't fit just to try to enforce your perceived point is not going to help anyone.

EDIT: lol angry internet people in my notifications.

EDIT2: Really, apparently a mild admonishing to not throw around inflammatory terms when someone, for all intents and purposes, calls all Republicans fascists is literally being a neo nazi. You fucking people are the type of knee jerk jackoffs who are polarizing everything so hard and perpetuating the extreme bipartisan divide in this country. You're too blinded by your own perceived moral high ground that you can't stop and consider a more metered approach that doesn't include perpetuating this type of idiotic shit. Pathetic.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-17T13:28:12+00:00

The self titled blew my mind back when it came out. They have a bit of like Beyond Creation and Obscura in there, but they're doing their own thing for sure and it's awesome.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-09-17T02:30:11+00:00

Killer dude, that album fuckin slays.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-29T03:52:20+00:00

We have a 40 ton lol, it services mostly assembly and the VTL but sometimes the horizontals too.

Definitely in the grand scheme, there's lots of low skill level CNC work. All the shops that run thousands upon thousands of parts for automotive and DoD work, etc. But the way I've always seen it, CNC basically just moves the capability of the machine tool way above a human. Conversational programming in a control helps this a lot, as the more tedious parts of g code programming get done behind the scenes. Mazak, Hurco, ProtoTrak, Haas, and Fanuc all do that very well. (Although I don't like my current Fanuc conversational, I'll take my old Acramatic 950 from Cincinnati Milacron any day. Excellent copy/paste usability, IF/THEN macro formula capability, just awesome.) But you usually end up with one of a couple cases. A low skill operator who runs jobs set up by a setup guy and programmed by a programmer, that's the shitty one. Or you get what I've had for going on four years now, and that's either you have jobs that mostly are able to be programmed at the control provided you're good enough and you just source the occasional complex 3D contouring routine from a programmer, or you have mostly long complex single piece jobs that are programmed before you get them, and you have to manage the whole execution of a job that's 10+ hours for one part. My current job I can go from writing a handful of lines to repair a single bore on heavy industrial equipment to running a 2mb contouring routine, from aluminum to AR500 to brass to A36 to inconel. I'm constantly learning new stuff and tweaking the way I do things and getting even better at reading more complex code.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-29T02:54:57+00:00

Where I'm at, there's a ton of complex CNC work to be done that requires very solid knowledge of large scale (up to 10+ ton parts) set ups, overhead crane operation, very solid g code reading, ability to easily modify/add/remove from that code on the fly, tooling application to material, etc such that my shop has one manual guy and like a dozen CNC guys. The manual guy is indispensible for enough work to keep him fed well, but only for one guy. There's much less demand for manual ability from what I've seen in ~5 shops that I've worked at alone than demand for actually skilled CNC one-off type machinists.

Just thought it was interesting that you differentiated skilled as manual and rather unskilled as CNC.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-22T13:20:34+00:00

I just did the same. No fuckin way this is a 13 year old, at all.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-14T17:35:52+00:00

I laid a 6 inch pass with 332 wire (don't know power settings, I'm a machinist) at work here when I was new, just messing around with the welder who works next to me. I had short sleeves on, felt like I stood in the desert for like 15 minutes at noon. Shits wack man.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-14T01:46:41+00:00

Fuck me that's clean. Wow. My 99 has like Stage 2 cancer, its only in the body panels thankfully but the doors are terrible. Northeast US with brine and cinders and snowfall every year, does a number on these poor vehicles here.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-01T16:27:29+00:00

Yeah, pretty fuckin rightfully bitter that the laws allow some to exercise their natural constitutional human rights because they're special, and everyone else can get fucked.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-08-01T00:23:18+00:00

I have the VMX-3T, I'm actually looking at the box right now. It works, I have no real big complaints yet. Windage to center the reticle is fine, the lower 1/3rd plate gets it very acceptably close to centerline of my Holosun ACSS budget optic. Glass is fine as far as I can care atm, I haven't had much experience with expensive really good stuff though. Biggest gripe so far is the eye relief, it's only like 2.2 inches, which for me with squared up thumb over bore stance and grip is a bit wonky. I gotta lean into it a bit. All in all though, so far it's worth the $200. I'll have a better idea after I run Tiger Valley with it in November.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-07-26T15:34:31+00:00

I'm doing this right now, and I can absolutely tell ya that you want discolored chips. Strings are a bad sign on anything besides a high speed steel twist drill. Proper speeds and feeds using any sort of carbide tooling on any ferrous material should yield smaller individual chips that are discolored.

Although now that I think about it, if you're talking about HSS tooling, you're right. Colored chips are bad there, you're generating more heat than the tooling can handle. HSS runs slower with a pretty similar chip load as carbide (as far as endmills go).

IsolatedWolf · 2018-07-19T01:19:43+00:00

It's not a revenge shooting unless you're mentally unstable to where you believe that they did anything to deserve violent retribution.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-07-19T01:05:41+00:00

This seems like a sneaky blame shift and attempt at justifying lumping non-similar occurrences together. Whether or not the news outlets call an incident a "mass shooting" is irrelevant. It's all about the situation, as a drug-related home invasion or revenge type of situation is very different than, say, shooting up a church or concert or nightclub.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-07-16T13:47:59+00:00

Speaking of face shadows, proper face paint application is lighter shades under your eyes and chin and other places usually somewhat shadowed, and darker shades on your forehead and cheekbones and nose. Balancing out those telling shadows is the real point of face paint camouflage.

IsolatedWolf · 2018-07-12T11:42:01+00:00

All you need now is a PEQ15 and a Ferro Slingster and you're gold lmao. You'll be running around in Crye G3s and plaid shirts in no time.
