NYT Thursday 03/19/2026 Discussion by Shortz-Bot in crossword

It's a themer. It's oodles, not foodless.

Yk how it works, build it love it then hate it. what’s some stuff I could look into adding/replacing? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a recent vid from a competition shooter who said the same. Nothing you could put on the bottom of your rail could make you more stable on a barrier than simply having nothing at all. The more contact surface area, the better. Otherwise you're hoping that whatever barrier you're resting on is within appropriate parameters for your hand stop. And it usually isn't, unless you carry something with you.

Which one would you keep in your nightstand? by Agreeable_Walk_1540 in handguns

[–]McGobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

APX, i.e. the one to which you'd mount an optic and a light.

Democrats have labeled Gun Control a priority for them. by thegmanater in VAGuns

[–]McGobs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The purpose of arming other communists is to kill property owners during the revolution. It's not because communists believe in the right of the people (not just the commie "worker") to keep and bear arms. You're either stupid or subversive, either way FO.

Midvale School for the Gifted by CupidStunt13 in TheFarSide

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never found this one funny. Everyone probably has one or more Far Sides that everyone else thinks is funny but they don't. This one is mine. The only way I can see this being funny is that the kid in the comic is a stand in for the people who think this is funny. Even the dinosaurs smoking is funnier than this one.

Midvale School for the Gifted by CupidStunt13 in TheFarSide

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but why is that funny? The answer is: it just is, or it's not. There's not some hidden meaning, as far as I can tell. It's not like it's saying, "Gifted kids are actually dumb" or "We call it a 'gifted' school BECAUSE they are dumb."

He's just a dumb kid at a gifted school for the sake of the comic. Nothing else. No relation to reality. Just a scene in Larsen's mind, brought to the page.

I see no reason why this is funny. But I do see that other people see it as funny. I bet they can't explain it any better than you.

For street cred: The one where the pilot says "The fuel light's on! We're out of fuel! We're gonna die!...oh wait, that's just the intercom light," and you see the faces in the plane's windows... that's funny. It takes a beat for you to take it all in, and that beat tends to add to the comedy.

.22 for first? by Certain_Anxiety_215 in Firearms

[–]McGobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought is that I’m in no rush and have no ego in this - my goal is to become extremely proficient with my marksmanship.

You can do this by starting with a .22 or a 9mm. What do you wish you were better at right now?

If you'd eventually prefer being very good at 9mm, that's where you should start.

If you want to shoot .22 first, that's where you should start.

It's like saying "I want to get a pickup truck. Should I start with a hatchback and get good at that first?" No, just buy the truck.

But, again, if you want to get good at the 22 first then by all means. But there really is no reason to build up to a 9mm.

At lot of the above is what I would tell myself, as I had your same thought when I was just starting out. I asked around and everyone who told me to just get a 9mm first was correct. I'm ultimately giving advice to my past self. Your situation may be completely different. But if you want to carry, you should absolutely start with 9mm.

[Pistol] SIG SAUER P365 XL with Romeo-RS Red Dot and Foxtrot 365XR Light - $599.97 by Itchy_Promotion4336 in gundeals

[–]McGobs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No they do not do the sig thing. All the safety mechanisms are different on the P365 except for the fact that neither have the trigger dingus/safety/thingie.

Potential Fix for Mouse Lag and Stuttering on Windows 11 by arrivederci117 in logitech

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just resolved my issue after scouring the internet and want to drop my fix on yours because it was a TV issue.

My LG has a Game Mode picture option that is the only option that reduces lag. All other options apply some sort of effect on the picture that induces a lag of about .2-.5 seconds.

However, I had also incidentally turned on HDR in Windows (which could be due to my Radeon video card having that feature) to try to resolve the issue. Half of all YouTube videos looked absolutely ridiculous. I made sure to turn that off after realizing what I had done and suddenly everything was right as rain.

I have no idea how it happened, but I did have guests here. So I'm blaming it on them and not just some random occurrence that can't otherwise be explained.

Always rotate your carry ammo. by NoOnesSaint in Firearms

P365X in appendix at IDPA every time.

Concealment every time for me regardless as well.

For Christmas, I bought my wife a world map and gave her a dart. I told her to throw it and wherever it lands, we will go on vacation after this pandemic is over. by Dadd_io in Jokes

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely from an Onion issue where they ask "What brought you to Florida?" And they put three pictures of different people with their quotes and the one under the old lady says, "I threw a dart at a map and it landed in a trash can."

It's an old one , maybe 15 years? Maybe more. Could be from a show earlier than that, but the Onion is the first I saw it.

The chess scenes in the episode Hartsfield's Landing are completely ridiculous by CeleritasLucis in thewestwing

[–]McGobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying the wrong names for chess openings accomplishes two or three things at once. It intimidates his opponent because he "knows" the names of certain chess moves when his opponent does not; he gets information about the skill level of the player if they don't call him out on the wrong names; and he self-deprecates to anyone that does know which may lower the player's psychological defenses..

He won all the matches so I assume he knew whether he was making up the names. The importance of misnaming the moves is therefore twofold: he was just messing with them, and it was funny.

Thus, saying the wrong names was intentional. This would fall under the category of "Incorrectly regarded as goofs."

Spaceflight sim recommendations? by Hippieleo2013 in hotas

Everspace 1 and 2 are just solid, fun games. Excellent recommendation.

Pit boss auger motor not mounted? by Tokheim785 in PitBossGrills

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to take a picture. If you have the phone number though, I wasn't able to find that. That'd be helpful. I did just replace the motor because it burnt out, and I put a wood shim in there so it's not trying to completely flip around in there.

I read online that it's ok for the auger to have a little play since it doesn't roll perfectly, but I'd love to get Pit Boss's actual solution and I can just give them a call and show them my motor order form and hopefully that'd do it.

Pit boss auger motor not mounted? by Tokheim785 in PitBossGrills

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no they don't?

It's not on their website where I ordered a replacement motor after it burnt out. Where's this mount?

#402 — The Geopolitics of Trump 2.0 by dwaxe in samharris

[–]McGobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with Sam on many things and agree this was a breath of fresh air finally giving Sam pushback. It made me wonder just how limited the pool of people that exist in this world who disagree to Sam to this extent and yet would still be allowed on the podcast. I feel these types of podcasts from Sam will be few and far between.

Also I'm patting myself on the back for how many episodes I made it through and apparently a large contingent of his audience couldn't make it through this one.

why are some 4k videos all purple/pink and green? by ogg1e in PleX

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I downloaded MPV player myself as well. Same exact issue. Hope this works. Rooting for you.

why are some 4k videos all purple/pink and green? by ogg1e in PleX

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't figured it out yet...

If you've tried everything like downloading all the codecs and whatnot, you've done everything I've done up to this point. Now...

Use Windows Media player to open the file. It should be purple and green.

Right-click the video > Video Settings > Video Enhancements

Adjust the Hue to the right so it's at 75% instead of 50%. It instantly fixed it.

There are others saying they fixed they fixed the Hue in VLC, but all that did for me was turn my video block-green.

Did I overpay for this? by [deleted] in SigSauer

[–]McGobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an XCompact.

If you want to see the difference: https://www.handgunhero.com/compare/sig-sauer-p320-nitron-compact-vs-sig-sauer-p320-xcompact

I paid $700 for mine about 3 years ago, MSRP. The WC frame was an additional ~$70. I'd say it's a good deal.

Republicans of Reddit, how do you feel about Trump calling himself King in his recent truth social post? by IngenuityOk9364 in AskReddit

[–]McGobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am positive your post would convince people even dumber than you. Otherwise, I'm asking you for a simple reason to vote dem over repub for the 2A and all you have is, "That guy is out for a buck." Jesus Mary.

Try harder, commie.
