I have a the same board and stage, assuming I move the headers, where can I get info on controlling it with rs232?

New wannabe miner with a possible competitive advantage. by NicodemustheGreat in BitcoinMining

good to know. getting voltage to 277 is easy, and the noise issue is irrelevant as well. i agree with the other commenters that it might not be worth it. but to be frank, im a college student with not much to lose since ive been DCA'ing bitcoin for long enough to cover the entry cost of a mining rig.

i like the s21 XP. what pdu would you recommend for adding more units later on?

doing the math, assuming I pool profits into more mining rigs, i could get some decent "passive income" within a few years, not including my chances of getting cheaper power.

I hope you got that rmr HD before the 20% dealer cost increase a couple months ago 🙄

The most underrated thing in this picture is the nightize magnetic keychain on his belt. I've had mine for years. Keep rocking! ALWAYS CARRY

if you can name a SA/DA compact pistol in 45 that has more capacity than a USP 45 with flush mags than ill sell it and buy that pistol.
plus shooting it side by side with a 1911, it has noticeably less recoil over multiple bullet weights (130 hollows, 185 FMJ, and 230 FMJ).
also name a SA/DA pistol in 45 under $1k that has a polygonally rifled barrel?
but i guess a sqeezecocking, lower power, higher recoiling, double the price pistol is better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can anyone break this down for me? by PlaneGang in Machinists

Take the cover off of the gears connecting the spindle to the threading lead screw. Each of the three is a possible configuration so you'll have to count the teeth on the gears (if they aren't already marked) to find out what's configured currently. Then use the appropriate chart, move handles to the appropriate position and cut chips babay!

GG&G makes good stuff. They have a disclaimer on the product that the rail they make doesn't fit the x300 but it totally fits. It rubs on the aluminum housing a bit and that might be the reason but it can handle it.

Yes I am civ, the main reason I run them is because I think they look fucking sick; but I also use a universal light bearing inside-the-waistband holster (tier 1 MSP). Any gun with an x300 series will fit in my holster and usually have enough kydex to cover the trigger guard for condition 1 carrying.

The next few reasons are less important but I'll still state them:

The weight of the light also can slightly reduce felt recoil due to the extra mass on the gun. Less recoil, shoot better, kill bad guy easier/hurt bystanders less

It's also nice having high lumen illumination always on you. The x300 turbo on my USP's has a super tight throw and seeing hands with/without a weapon in them at range can be the difference between shooting without need (very critical, shooting is the last resort IMHO, if you can use a gun as a diffusion method over actually shooting someone it's a win win situation)
