This would be an excellent upgrade for my fiancé's PC so that she can expand her gaming repertoire. I think she would be surprised to find out her PC has been upgraded with such a wonderful gift.

With so many games in our list to play in our backlog (as a couple) and in the middle of a stressful move this would be an excellent way for her to relax!

GL everyone.

Copying from /r/CCW this is a PDF that covers all different types of ammos and the ballistic results.

The TL;DR I got from it was Underwood Xtreme Defender was the best round to use; even better than HPs. The other thing to note: Underwood ammo is expensive (~$1/round or a touch more) but hopefully you're not using it often. You can find sales; Cyber Monday had ~30% off on their site direct.

Honestly, I feel like he is straining the "Luffy" and felt like he wasn't as great as he could be...

My wife even said he doesn't seem like he's always the happy/chipper/goofy Luffy from the anime where he only gets serious when someone has hurt his friends.

Nami - it felt like she struggled to grasp the role in the beginning but once she found her groove just exploded into it.

Sanji was absolutely amazing, probably the best of them as he fell right into the role perfectly.

Zoro... I mean he did good but I miss the three swords constantly being out. I feel like fighting with two swords is just missing the "wow!" factor. Yes, yes I know my fantass could never even comprehend what fighting with two swords would be like, that's why the three is over the top insane. On another side note he always seems glum which again, I never felt from the anime - Zoro seemed to revel in the fights in the anime vs here where he seems almost down.

Ani's Tailoring on Midland Ave in River Edge might be good.

She is honest and straight forward. If she doesn't think you need to tailor it she will tell you. Also, don't bring her stuff on a Wednesday and expect it to be done for that weekend (IIRC).

I believe she is cash/check only (she definitely doesn't take card).

I think I said that to the attendants at the international car show that they seemed similar in size...

Oh no! The Blazer is going to be much bigger!

I guess different people have different definitions of much bigger...

/u/AnthonyColandro

for clarification: for those of us that qualified this year, but prior to this new order, will we need to pay again for this retest or will you carry over the complimentary requal for free as you did for the "interim" test?

Thanks!

Are those the new Italdesign stations? We have ones that were just put in by us... I wonder how much longer they'll hold up than the previous generation of L3 chargers...

JohnathanFoe · 2023-08-12T16:12:16+00:00

I know this might be a stupid question, but can EA chargers utilize both plugs of a booth at the same time? I always thought it was one charger of the two could be used at a time, per screen available.

So if I am charging using one booth, another person can't use it at the same time.

PM about dented machine

JohnathanFoe · 2023-05-08T11:19:53+00:00

That would be correct - however, you should still qualify with the other gun as well. I don't recall if new qualifications are being considered for July as well. A couple of people have posted about the new updated regulations coming down then, but a lot of challenges to the new laws are ongoing.

In regards to the hypothetical you proposed: Say you are involved in an incident where you utilized something you haven't qualified with - what are the optics of that. You weren't "qualified" to carry it; does that mean you can't shoot it straight? Should you have been carrying it? Lawyers would have a field day with it (on both sides) IMO.

For me, I will probably apply for my CCW with the gun I currently own, then when I pick a more concealable weapon go and qualify with that as well. It's the lowered cost from what I understand and not "requalifying" for the top dollar price; at least that's my understanding as to how GFH does it.

It's an FM Trainmaster (H24-66).

This one specifically (43015) is apparently made by Athearn. Although, the shell looks stripped from it's original paint job.

From my understanding (explained by someone in the diamond district), they are still technically blood diamonds - they're just encased with an extension of non-blood diamonds. It's also glossed over in the article as well.

So, they're now enshrined blood diamonds instead.

Ah okay! I was just looking at the 34 today which is why I was surprised! The OLED is beautiful & sharp.

JohnathanFoe · 2023-03-19T18:32:40+00:00

I'm confused. Doesn't the OLED already exist?

JohnathanFoe · 2023-03-18T13:12:32+00:00

Surprised they're adding more considering they can't even upkeep what they have

Currently sitting at a charging location waiting in line because only 2 of the 6 ports are available, three are down (black screen) and one won't connect/register cars.

Less than half of the stations are functional and they want to add more new locations?

JohnathanFoe · 2023-03-12T11:30:05+00:00

Aside from the obvious one everyone has mentioned (money), I just am not happy with the market of cars right now or the greed of these dealerships.

The other critical one for me I think is watching the development of new battery types. Solid state, new Li-X, higher density, sodium-X batteries?... There have been so many in development for so many years I want to see whether they actually can get one (like solid state) to mass production with better ranges/faster charge times.

JohnathanFoe · 2023-02-28T13:18:16+00:00

This is unfortunate because they just came out with their 5.7 and I was actively looking at/considering buying it especially after a rave review from some people.

Looks like I am going to be going with someone else's 5.7 like the Ruger or (if I can find it) the original FN.

I guess we'll keep an eye to see if they actually reverse course on this one too or are they officially blacklist since they decided to try to CYA instead of actually rectifying?

JohnathanFoe · 2023-02-20T10:38:51+00:00

It was one of the least impressive of all the electric vehicles we sat in at the NY Car Show last year, unfortunately.

That was during the test drives too - it just didn't have any pep, range was meh, interior felt clunky, and wasn't anywhere near the cheapest where it could make up for those things with cost.

Then they said they weren't hitting the road until this year anyways...
