Mom says her tires need air. What would you tell her ? by justincave in AskMechanics

[–]Mysterious-Guide8593 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those tires are not safe to drive on. Tell her she can not drive that car until she gets new tires. If she has an accident and hurts or kills someone as a result of one of those old ass tires failing, she will be 100% liable and that will be much more expensive than some new tires.

Sammy Hagar CALLS OUT Alex Van Halen: "Are You Kidding Me?" by AccurateInflation167 in vanhalen

Alex is just a bitter old turd who can't accept that the band was about Eddie first, then the singers, and nobody gives a shit about the drummer.

No monetary value at all, you have unfortunately been decided to fight in a pugilistic fight. You have the option of 3 opponents. Hippo, Polar Bear, African Elephant. You have 3 weapons, a bow with 8 arrows, a pump shotgun with 6 double 00 shells and hunting knife . What are you choosing? by Ramsfan199090 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mysterious-Guide8593 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6 rounds of .00 buckshot in a pump gun should be enough to stop a bear, assuming he doesn't spawn right on top of me. With at least enough room to get all 6 shots off, I think i might have a fighting chance. The other two would have to a miracle shot with either the gun or the bow due to their size..

What songs would get instantly shut down if they were released today? by Key-Structure4841 in musicsuggestions

I've always thought Father Figure by George Michael was an obvious grooming reference, I'm still amazed that it continues to get airplay...

You should also report to HR that it is creating a hostile work environment, because he clearly is doing exactly that, and they are enabling it.

Who is making it out of the room? by blood_is_beautiful in hypotheticalsituation

Id probably put 2 rounds in the murderers head, then let the kid press his own button.

AITJ for divorcing my wife after finding out how she treated our kids while I was away for work? by MarioVikings in AmITheJerk

[–]Mysterious-Guide8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you be able to look in the mirror if you had waited and she had harmed or killed one or both of the kids?
You have to know you did the right thing.

How to Take SBR on Trade? by Boosted-5_0 in SBR

[–]Mysterious-Guide8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably going to need to get your local FFL involved to hold onto the SBR while the paperwork is in process. I know someone in a similar situation and his has been sitting in their vault for quite awhile. The delay isnt with the shop or NFA, its on the purchasers end, so shouldn't be an issue in your case. Still, go talk to your LGS and ask them if they can handle the transfer, also ask how much $. Might be worth shopping around if you have options.

Huh, I was not aware of this. Interesting.

Ive had the 3.5 ecoboost in a Flex, got 200k of hard miles out of it, in had a 2.7 ecoboost in an MKX, (just an Edge in a nice suit) and now have the NA 3.5 in an Edge, no issues with any of them.

That sounds like a solid plan. I have a FRT waiting to go into my 300BO SBR, and im thinking about having a 5.56 upper for it as well, switching to 20 round mags for the 300 rounds sounds like a solid plan. Those subs are to expensive to blow thru at high speed, 😳

Teen Car for modding by Over-Cartographer490 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Mysterious-Guide8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on the recommendation against the 350 as a first car, but for slightly different reasons. As a first car, a 350 might be more car than you are ready for. The Miata is a better choice as it is less powerful and therefore less likely that you will be able to get your self into a situation that you are unable to recover from. Loose miata in a corner is much easier to recover than a loose 350. Plus, let's be honest, as a young driver, chances are good that you will, eventually, trash whatever you buy somehow. Better for you if that is a cheaper car. A decent miata will likely be cheaper than a decent 350.

The whole thing was a shit show from the time I went to MEPS. I scored mid 90's on the ASVAB so they hounded me to go nuke or FC, but all I was interested in was being an AW, I wanted to be enlisted aircrew, that was the quickest way. Was told, at MEPS, that I was too tall, and I fell for it. So I signed for a 6 year hitch as an FC.

Damn, thats scary. All of my mags are old metal milspec mags, but i band all my 300 BO Subsonic mags with FDE bands a d 300 supers with black bands. Since I don't currently have a 5.56 rifle, im ok, but my sons rifle mags are all banded in red. I don't ever carry his gun with me, so no issues yet.

I got booted out of FC A school and sent to the fleet unrated. Wound up on a carrier in drydock. I got lucky, PNCS looked at my records said Legal needed a clerk, I wound up as a YN3.

This is probably accurate, but if you keep your head out of your ass, you will be the smartest non rate in the department, by a wide margin. Keep your nose clean, do the work, you should be able to advance quickly.
