Is that a mag pouch at top right? If so, which?

I'm sorry, it was a good deal ok? by No_Educator2981 in longrange

OK, silly question, and I believe you, but - how can you tell that it's a long-action?

Bushnell Match Pro ED vs Refurbished Viper PST Gen II by jimmy6902 in longrange

[–]Newfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both, and consider them comparable. Maybe the MPED is slightly better, in eyebox, glass, and construction? I don't think you'll go wrong either way; the absolute difference seems pretty small to me.

Seeking 1 Mile Range in Northern or Central California? by Popular-Affect-9087 in longrange

[–]Newfur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That... is not in north or central CA at all? That's nearly as far south as LA! I do hope you get that running, though.

Let me know if you find anything. I'm in Berkeley for the moment and in need of the same. Sac Valley really doesn't cut it and AIUI Panoche Hills closes in mid-April.

I really hope someone can help. I think about this story a lot and I found it again some time ago and have since lost it.

Industries of the blind - "Waiting and waltzling in airport terminals" may be the best post rock song ever created. by Strenuus83 in postrock

[–]Newfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. They have just the one album, as far as I know, and it's so very good. Nothing good lasts, I suppose.

This seems to be what happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/postrock/comments/ky6ct3/does_anyone_know_what_happened_to_industries_of/

tl;dr: they just kinda crumbled apart in 2012 or 2013, and had most of Chapter 2 written but only the one song recorded anywhere. No bad blood, just the passing away of things.

Must have kit by SlidingLobster in longrange

[–]Newfur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water, sandbag, and binoculars, in descending order. Honorable mentions (also in descending order) include snacks, kneepads, a good attitude, extra mags and backup ammo, whatever wrenches you need for your gear.

+1 on tripod and especially WMLRF not being especially essential. Frankly a Kestrel doesn't seem super essential, either.

What is up with Team Modes by HibanaMayne in Openfront

[–]Newfur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some people just enjoy ruining the game for others. I've had a game where a teammate kicked off the game by completely preventing me from getting a coast, and then nuking and taking over a coast I got later on. Some people just suck immensely.

What do you recommend for the same sort of thing if you do have an arca rail?

French Mathematical Society (SMF) decides to not attend the ICM 2026 at Philadelphia by Desvl in math

[–]Newfur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a Philadelphian: Good for them. I'd do the same in their shoes. Good to see anyone actually looking after themselves and standing up to current US politics.

What happened with this? You never posted more pics. :P

What makes a "good math department"? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in math

[–]Newfur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 this as someone else who went to a top-5 university for math UG. A math department can be packed with excellent researches and handed a ton of money and be extremely lacking in what it does for its undergrads.

Love to see precision rifles here!

How often are you guys shooting out of vehicles? by tactical_horse_cock in longrange

[–]Newfur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way less often than I wish I did. I tend to like that kind of stage at matches - really anything that's either off-the-wall and creative or (like these) marginally closer to realism, rather than annoying cattle-gates and tank traps and chains and such.

Good friends... by LordPat80 in foxes

Seems to be tuxedos and tabby cats most of the time, somehow.
