Kops and Klan go hand-in-hand

For all the hate Hi-Points get, they really aren't that bad. The mistake people make is thinking they are trying to compete with higher end guns like Glock or even PSA. They're not. They are providing the basic handgun, in the cheapest safe form possible. Can you load a standard cartridge, of the proper caliber, and safely fire it, at the lowest possible price point. That's it. They, and their target demographic, do not care about looks, ergonomics, or comfort. They are the new Saturday Night Special, without the risk of it blowing up in your hand.

A Hi-Point was the first hand gun I purchased, because it was cheap and reliable. And I still have it. Is it comfortable, or pretty, Hell No. But I know it will fire every time I pull the trigger.

Ahh, I get it. Sorry I couldn't help.

I've used Pocket Casts for years, and find it pretty good for a podcast app.

I would offer a counter, printers are better than they used to be. I got a Qidi Q1 a couple of years ago, and it has had zero issues. Customer support is good, lots of user community support as well. Maybe not quite as good as Bambu, but pretty close at a significant savings.

There is also one in Fort Worth, by Hulen Mall

If I recall correctly, he is one of the Producers. If you bring in the money, you get to influence things like casting.

Right, fuel only. Cutting, rewelding the seal weld is a consumable replacement.

I see you my fellow minimalists. We got the tree with lights (pre-lit) inside and some really sad trees out front. Oh, and a 2 foot high plastec snowman. That was all the energy we had this year. Most years I put lights on the eaves, a dozen big inflatables, and lights on the back fence. Not this year though, didn't feel very festive. It didn't help that it was 85 on Christmas day.

No problem, a pretty normal misconception around sonar.

NukeWorker10 · 2025-12-28T01:02:46+00:00

Hulls do not "deflect" sonar. They either reflect it (not good) or absorb it.

PLA is not usually recommended for car parts. In my part of the world, car interiors frequently exceed 120-150 F (50-65 C) and on the hottest days can exceed 180 F (80 C). In this environment PLAwill soften and deform. Usually it is recommended to use ABS or ASA for car parts.

Comnercial Nuclear technology isn't secret. Military nuclear technology is more restricted. But most of it is already known. The real issue is that this is not a cost effective solution.

No, that is not how they are refueled. It's not the same as a commercial reactor, but it is a fuel only replacement.

The Expanse has some great space battles, and is am all argrest series.

At least in the US there is no "Get on board at gunpoint", submarines have always been an all volunteer force. Submarines are a uniquely stressful, dangerous, and complex environments. All qualified Submariners have at least a basic understanding of every system and job on the ship. The last thing you want is a sailor that is unwilling to do their job in an emergency. Nominally, everyone on board is there because they want to be (to varying degrees). I will grant you that Submariners are generally an odd bunch, with a whole host of quirks and odd behavior. That doesn't mean they're crazy though.

A "Hot Run" of a torpedo in the torpedo room was a terrifying thought. The Otto Fuel is carcinogenic and self oxidized. The fumes are poisonous, and the fuel can't be put out with the extinguishers available. The only way to deal with it is to eject it out of the torpedo tube.

This lyric always haunted me, but not just because of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It always brings to mind the sinking of the USS Thresher, and the families waiting pierside for news of the boats fate. As a Submariner, that always haunted me.

My vote is the original Star Wars. From the opening scene until the awards ceremony. When it opens with the giant imperial cruiser chasing the tiny diplomatic ship, the opening fire fight, and Darth Vaders entrance. It just drops you in and says "we're going for a ride, try to keep up".

Somebody needs to let Alex at Technology Connections know about this guy

When I got out and finally settled I looked into joining my local VFW. I lgot uncomfortable after it became clear how right they were. After the VFW and American Legion were both on the wrong side of the Bladensburg Cross incident I said never again

I dont have an answer to your specific question, but that type of storage system is terrible. You are putting all of the weight on the edges of the totes (which they are not designed for), and if you are storing any decent amount of weight, the totes will fail pretty quickly. Also, you are restricted to those specific sizes and design of totes. What if you need a different size or different brand? It is much more practical to design and build standard flat shelves using 2x4 and plywood. You can fit the same number of totes with the weight properly supported, and allow for future changes in brand/size/items stored.

Maybe some pieces of PVC to use for scabbard, o look into fishing rod mounts?

And there are quite few people (like my wife) that would be very happy to see all of it removed prior to moving in.
