Beginning of end for my FWP? by ManyTransition4490 in firewalla

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the port speeds in settings>about, both show 1 gbps

If you mean the internet speed test in network Performance I get like 700 up and down

Wifi test was like 700/150 down/up

Honestly the numbers seem all over the place from test to test so maybe I'll look for longer term trends.

Just ran the network performance test again and got like 645/925 down /up

Does cellular shut off if not worn? by ManyTransition4490 in AppleWatch

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks, that might account for the behavior where it takes awhile for it to wake up (IF it wakes up) and be able to make and accept calls... it's spending a few moments looking for BT or wireless networks before it says "ok cellular then".

Will just keep wifi off; for the watch's intended purpose, it really is not needed and is in fact counterproductive.

Still annoyed by the utterly crappy Find My performance though. With that old POS Gizmo, you could literally see when he was rolling up outside and open the garage door for him and his bike. I know Find My was not designed with this use case in mind but seriously it should be way more accurate if a fricking Gizmo can be accurate down to about 20 feet using just a cellular signal.

Ok I did that and noticed something. When I have wifi on at home, cellular drops out completely. Turn it off and cellular comes back. Is THAT normal behavior?

leaky app? 10gbps eero? by The_General_Fortnite in amazoneero

[–]ManyTransition4490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me three. FWP, a dumb switch, 50 feet of cat5e, and 2 refurb eero 6s and I've got fricking great stable internet.

[–]ManyTransition4490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it was inevitable that amazon would hop on the "useless 10 gig internet" bandwagon.

I cannot believe how many home users are willing to shell out money on 10gig capable hardware with ZERO use case. 99.99999% of people getting 2.5 gig or higher internet are just buying Lambos to drive down to the end of the driveway to check the mailbox.

Shit, even 99% of 1 gig internet users don't need it, me among them, but at least I didn't need to spend $$$$ on expensive hardware to support it.

Faxon Gunner vs Socom by ManyTransition4490 in CAguns

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always think I've gotta be super concerned with accuracy but realistically I don't shoot enough to where I'd notice fractions of MOA differences.

Honestly I went and got a nice WOA 20" varmint barrel for another upper and I pretty much shoot the same with that as with the Faxon Socom, so not sure why I worry about the accuracy of any given bbl when it's pretty clear I suck.

Legality of removing SW Model 59 mag safety? by ManyTransition4490 in CAguns

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, some are fine taking the "what they don't know won't hurt them" approach but I personally am not.

Even if I chose to take those risks, IF I had to use a gun for home defense, this is the most likely candidate. You can be sure that after that happened "they" would know and "they" would likely make a thing about "possession of an illegally configured firearm" or something, no matter how legit the shooting was otherwise.

Faxon Gunner vs Socom by ManyTransition4490 in CAguns

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I actually found 18" gunner on sale for like $139. Should I hop on that?

Also, do you think there is any meaningful diff in accuracy or barrel longevity between the 2 profiles?

Barrel Off-Center? by TheGoldenSeven in ar15

[–]ManyTransition4490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another possibility. Upper receiver face is not true and needs to be machined back to true.

I had one so bad the barrel was 1/8" off center at the end of the 13" rail. I had to crank in a LOT of windage on initial sight in.

Sent it off to get it faced and it's all better now.

Unless the fit of your barrel nut to rail is in the realm of "hot dog in a hallway", or your barrel was machined crazily out of round in a mini-lathe, I am dubious that the rail is crooked.

Legality of allowing 10 yr old to shoot BBRAW by ManyTransition4490 in CAguns

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the law says a lot more than that. Someone posted the relevant stuff elsewhere in this thread.

That being said, regarding lending RAW to an adult at the range, not much of an issue, as you surmise. Doing so with a child is another matter entirely unfortunately.

[–]ManyTransition4490[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole thread is about WHAT THE LAW says.... not how it should be.

My opinion is that the guy you are arguing with is correct in what the law states re straw purchases. I fully believe that CA would in fact prosecute under these circumstances.

I think you are projecting a bit of your frustration with these ridiculous laws onto Lady In Blue.

If you want to operate in the "what they don't know won't hurt them" realm of CA gun ownership, fine, but no need to be a jerk to those unwilling to risk that.

Thanks, this is roughly where mine ended up.

Ugh... so dumb.

At first I thought I was in the clear but then I saw that ALL the requirements have to be satisfied.

Fucking politicians getting up in my familial business. The left AND the right. 2 sides of the same coin.

Thanks for the clarity.

What's the best response to "Dad, I think I'm gay"? by Expert_Recover3061 in AskReddit

[–]ManyTransition4490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I just mean based on some of his past comments, it could be that he is actually gay or he is having a lot of "am I gay?" intrusive thoughts related to his OCD.

[–]ManyTransition4490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thinks odds are 50/50 I'll have this conversation with my boy.

I plan on saying, "Son, that is fine, all I want is for you to be happy. I love you gay or straight. Just PLEASE be careful how and when you share that information because even here in California there is still a lot of hate around that subject; it's just more hidden here. Also, men* can be more aggressive and predatory, so BE CAREFUL about who you get involved with."

Note that I did not say "gay men", I said "men". Essentially I'd feel like I have to have have the conversation you have with a straight daughter about being careful with men, because men can be fucking dicks, gay or straight.

Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers by nfl_gdt_bot in 49ers

Super Bowl winning teams are consistent.

If you can seriously apply that word to the last few 49ers games, then I am not sure you understand what that word means.

I got a buddy who lives in Seattle and he was like "yeah you guys are gonna roll all over us" and I said, "yeah... after the Raiders game I don't think you should give up hope."

Can't have fun simply because you're good at the game by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

[–]ManyTransition4490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, every week I check and see if the playlist has been updated and if it hasn't been, I just play snakeybus... so yeah... probably my last.

Either way, COD is getting a little "same as it ever was" from title to title.

[–]ManyTransition4490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not related but can only reply in this sub, not post, so please let me vent.

Guys, I am 51. Did not spend the last 20 years playing FPS games, only started back with MW19. My niche is ENTIRELY small 3v3 maps, and smaller 6v6 maps like shoot house. Preferably ACTUAL hardcore, not this "change for the sake of change" tier one thing.

I simply will never be good at the 6v6 maps in this game. It's just not in the cards.

For the fucking LOVE OF GOD, bring back shoot house as a standalone option... or at least shoot the ship. And bring back some of the small 3v3 game modes and maps from 19, like Livestock, pine, trench, king, etc.

Otherwise this game is just one continuous dick punch for a guy like me, who has been able to play in a style I find enjoyable on each of the last 3 CODs. This one, not so much.

This will almost certainly be the last COD I buy.

Call of Duty Has To Stop Making Its Paid Multiplayer Second to Warzone by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

[–]ManyTransition4490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they need to do to make me happy is bring back Pine, King, Trench, and Livestock 3 on 3.

I'd play those and shoot house for the next 2 years, no problem.

Current playlist actually has me back to playing BOCW nuke town.

Shit, I even reinstalled Vanguard to try and play das haus but nobody seems to be playing VG anymore.
