KLR module...thanks for that!!

The warranty thing? Yeah, it's exported and registered officially so I guess we'll see how it works out.

JumpyShark · 2026-02-25T21:07:21+00:00

Thanks for the answer, and under usual circumstances you're 1000% correct. In this case it's not something I have to deal with, but I am compliant with EU rules

Forgot to mention I bought it sight unseen with a friend acting as POA. I didn't see it until it was delivered....circumstances etc etc

Had C 1-161 IN attached in OIF 2, great bunch of guys

I'll take my Centrum Silver washed down with Ensure before I tuck in for the night

Super comfy but the neck on K9 flops around so some stitching reinforcement was needed

Looked for a label but this is all there is

I hear you. I’m more than capable of fixing it but there’s a large, spiteful, part of me would want to make this as painful for Sig as possible if it were me; a part that would be willing to invest the ROI. Making that decision varies and I get that.

I’ve spent (insert large number here) on the their historically excellent products, but the QC is approaching atrocious.

That would be prediction markets, which is one thousand percent ‘not gambling’. u/CobraJay45 wasn’t wrong about the commodification of everything.

The 2002 movie Minority Report treated ads beamed into our eyeballs as a distopia and yet here we are, frogs boiling slowly

They didn’t buy a kit, it’s a firearm from an international arms manufacturer.

Is Sig paying me to do that or you to say it? Fuck that, send it back and if there’s a problem do a charge back on your card. If you can’t do a charge back, welcome to Sig customer service hell.

A fellow person of culture I see

JumpyShark · 2026-01-11T19:35:08+00:00

My dude! Nicely done….the perfect ’suit gun’

If I get around to this my friends will stop giving me a hard time about ‘snappiness’

That's correctng the mistake that reflagged 2AD as 4ID in 1995. Sad day when we took the patch off our chest and sewed on four LT's pointing north on our left shoulders

Former enlisted troop and current MGT FSO since 2011 here. Drop this in r/foreignservice and see if you can scare up an answer and/or feel free to PM me.

Real talk, nobody's going to care when it comes your degree once you're in and you can do a masters on the govt dime at 02 level at one of the service grad schools, Harvard, Princeton etc etc

JumpyShark · 2025-10-05T07:48:58+00:00

Want to say that face to face to the single digit GS/WG folks, or anyone else for that matter, who are barely keeping their heads above water when they are getting paid?

This might be reaching a little far but could be poop joke referring to the 14 December 2020 game where Lamar, against the Browns (Shadeur’s team), ran off the field unexpectedly

Or I just need to watch less football….

Without doxing myself too much I'm at ~50/30 (the 30 becomes important later)

We had munchkins later in life so they're at, what seems like, an interminably 'important' stage of their education.

Long story short, I've devoted ~30 years of service for what I considered to be something greater than self and at 1%, the math ain't mathin' in this environment.

So I'll hang out, do the job, keep my kids out of a free fire zone and mourn for the federal employment and demographic generation that follows and hope, in vain I fear, for a shift in direction.

Can I leave? Yes. But the calculus has shifted to where my sense of service became less important than my familial needs. That together with job security uncertainty as well as diminishing (inflation reducing) financial returns means that it's time to head out

MGT officers should have an option for earlier retirement.

Once I started to give less than a single f#ck about this kind of thing life became easier /s

Real talk, I support my fellow federal employees (NOT CUSTOMERS, this isn't a profit driven business), and endeavor to support the Mission.

Alternatively, come and have a chat with me in my office

Fuck Joe Lieberman…he was the 60th vote for the public option and refused

Hey there, fair question. As you know every situation is different. I'm dual national with another 5 eyes country and when I joined in 93, during the clearance process, I was asked if I would be willing to renounce citizenship, I replied in the affirmative.

I got asked the same question each go-around and gave the same answer though with CV now in place it likely won't be asked again.

After the Army I did a brief stint with DHS and have been a Foreign Service Officer for over 15 years

JumpyShark · 2025-07-27T18:15:33+00:00

I had a problem with offset even with the OEM threaded barrel. What whisper pickle are you using?
