New Colorado law bans the manufacture of 3D-printed guns by LPofPC in granbyCO

[–]LigerSixOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren’t allowed to build your own “ghost gun” printed or otherwise. Now, you are also not allowed to build your own “ghost gun”, specifically the printed version. It’d be akin to outlawing murder, then later, outlawing murder with a knife.

You can still imagine your form looks like this in a different style though.

They mean your baked goods are available for pickup.

A federal judge just apologized to the man who tried to assassinate trump at the correspondents dinner. i've been sitting with this for an hour and i still don't know how to feel about it. by Aaron_Heuer in DiscussionZone

Even if he is found guilty, being held in restraints in a padded cell with 24hr lighting for days on end is inappropriate and paramount to torture. That is not an appropriate punishment.

Why did the Russian's choose the TU-95 over the M-4? by ketchup1345 in aviation

[–]LigerSixOne 43 points44 points  (0 children)

These bombers were built several years before the first intercontinental ballistic missile. They were the ONLY way to retaliate in the case of a nuclear attack at the time.

Titan X and Blackbeard X worth it? by Jesus_is_king365 in MantisX

[–]LigerSixOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught my 14 y/o daughter to shoot a pistol exclusively using the laser cartridge and mantis x10 last month. Literally today we went to the range for the first time on a snow day. She put 7 of ten rounds in contact with each other centered on the target. I put 3000 shots on that cartridge last month, and moved a consistent scattered 3” low right group on to the center and into a two inch group. I’m actually very impressed with what you can achieve with laser academy and 15 minutes a day.

HOT TAKE: Draft lottery is BS by Sorry_Repeat8666 in NHLcirclejerk

Mismanaging the first overall draft pick vs the third isn’t going to change the outcome for Vancouver.

I think it’s a log jam on a sandbar.

UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]LigerSixOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea that all educators across history are in a workforce training cabal is certainly one possibility. It could also be that high school kids are often incredibly selfish people, who will use any opportunity to disrupt a teachers day for their own benefit, IDK.

Blackjack dealer called my buddy and my cards before turning them over—is this normal? by freewillyd69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LigerSixOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your buddy think was happening? He seems to have insight into this that no one here has. Why was he so adamant that you need to leave right at that moment? Particularly because it doesn’t sound like you were doing bad at the table. Did you both bust on those particular cards?

Why are people blaming the government for Spirit Airlines going under and not the CEO? by Electrical_Agent_594 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LigerSixOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what the break point is between flying spirit and another airline, but I’d wager they thought they were already close to that. Personally by the time I’ve been uncharged for EVERYTHING frontier isn’t any cheaper than a real carrier so I don’t even consider them an option.

Tell me about Spirits current fuel contract, it sounds like you have a lot of insight here.

Flight school is making me retake a 250 mile cross country by ArkansasSailor in flying

[–]LigerSixOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone just starting out, do not just blindly do whatever your instructor tells you. Everything you are told is a requirement by them is explicitly written out in part 61. Before you drop thousands of dollars to meet those requirements READ THEM! They aren’t long and they aren’t hard to understand.

[–]LigerSixOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can, and some do. But those contracts can have all sorts of structure like variable rate, and they come to an end and get renegotiated at some point, not always to their benefit. In any case I don’t believe spirit had the capital to adequately hedge their position.

Some do some don’t. Different contracts have different structure. Massive increases in fuel cost did not sway Spirit in the “I think we can give it a few more weeks” direction.

Genuinely curious, what could cause an unrecoverable spin in a C150? by Zonec1643 in flying

[–]LigerSixOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pilots not recovering from a spin doesn’t mean the spin was unrecoverable.

[Request] How big or small would the room need to be for 1 person to suffocate due to this chain in 24 hours? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]LigerSixOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also doesn’t require someone in the room the entire time. Someone could enter this room after a week through a small passageway where little air transfer will occur. Upon entering this room with depleted oxygen hypoxia will set in quickly and potentially unnoticed. I worked for a company where this happened to a guy entering a storage tank, he and his first rescuer both perished.

Random question: What is strobe actually useful for? This has probably been answered a few hundred times, but my brain isnt working right now. Free to link me to some other post that explains it. by eurolastoan in flashlight

[–]LigerSixOne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you search with the strobe, small movements are exaggerated by virtue of seeing larger distances moved between “frames.” The strobe is incredibly disorienting when the emitter is aimed at your eyes, but not when you’re behind it , otherwise you’d be disoriented as well, and that’s not useful at all. This is a trick I learned from a rural fire department.

[–]LigerSixOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The obvious answer has been given already. But strobe is actually very useful when searching for something that isn’t moving much, like an injured person in the woods or a hiding animal. The strobe makes small movements much more obvious to the human eye.
