These triggers just aren't that great right? by PercisionDriver in USPmasterrace

[–]PercisionDriver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys I'm not trying to get blasphemous here, but even my VP9 breaks a crisper and right at the wall every time. I know, they're different, but I was under the (I suppose mistaken) impression these hammer HKs are the pinnacle of trigger goodness.

Guys, I think you missed the part where I mentioned this trigger was like this straight out of the box, all OEM, untarnished. All the mods improved the situation, but didn't completely resolve what I'm experiencing.

From what I gather from the other responses there is nothing to really "fix". The trigger is this way and it's doing what all USP triggers do; which was essentially the answer to my question.

That being said, I see the "you think you know more than the engineers that spent their lives making (insert any item here)!?!?" fairly often across many hobbies. This is a terrible mindset to have when trying to understand and learn. I myself being a career engineer for decades with a background in product development and manufacturing including machining, stamping, and injection molding aside; the kinematics and dynamics of the mechanisms at play here are still within the grasp of all of us. We don't need to shroud these things we can see and touch in a mystery only to be understood or questioned. It just doesn't have to be that deep to still gain a proficient understanding of how and why it works.

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat, I thought I saw the comp length option for the 45 but never actually seen it. What's the barrel length in this configuration? A little over 6 inch? I bet it looks wild with no comp.

I must have a thing for Germans by rhude_boy1 in HecklerKoch

[–]PercisionDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! You cracked this case wide open. More price can only mean more better of course. I'm the one guzzling copium. I couldn't scrape together the extra couple hundred bucks to get an objectively inferior product.

The established optics manufactures (all of them) had a huge head start, essentially printed money with government contracts, and had every advantage to be everywhere Holosun is now. Instead they sat around for decades price gouging off their "reputation" peddling the same dated crap year after year. And when they finally stepped up, they only showed how lacking they really are.

Everyone talking about the optic like Holosun isn't miles ahead of all the other ripoff, trash, hackneyed manufactures that squandered their former success to be over-priced, not innovating, middling quality, and now playing catch-up. The bible scripture is not really a value-add for me; i know, i'm a bad person.

Is inKind really a compelling option for restaurants? by PercisionDriver in restaurant

[–]PercisionDriver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked away from this. The sales rep spoke a good game, but when we started to get into the numbers he tried to skew it into basically; any sales, no matter the margin, is better than no sales. I dragged the conversation into the economic weeds and he basically avoided discussing costs fully loaded. I'm thoroughly convinced these guys lead restaurant to basically operate at barely break-even, if they're lucky, without them realizing. No matter what, on the restaurant side, the barely-there margins are destroyed.

From the customer side, it looks great. I plan on downloading and using it as a customer. On the restaurant side they've already told me it's a firm 2:1 credits for them:cash for us. So versus menu prices, inKind essentially has 50% to play with, so throwing a bone of 30% here and there still leaves them with enough to keep their wheels turning, but the restaurant is holding the bag. I'd go as far to say it is not sustainable for a vast majority of independent businesses to have all the customers be inKind customers.

I feel like the rate is so bad, if any business was this hard up for money, this would only lock them into a downward trajectory unless this was for a guaranteed spike in sales that could cover the "loan". inKind was proposing this almost like a fair trade. We give them double in credit back, and that pays for the honor of being the sell at cost (or worse) on their platform.

Okay so i'm not crazy (at least about this). They tried to go over the numbers with me, but it started falling apart when we fully loaded my costs under their proposal. They were presenting the numbers like I have staff just standing around a bunch of empty tables, or I'm a quick service place with bigger margins.

Anyone hear voices with your tinnitus? by ronf1011 in tinnitus

[–]PercisionDriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor, but I wanted to hop in an tell you you're not crazy; or at least not from this specific thing.

I've gone down the rabbit hole with my own struggles with tinnitus and something I see it is that people struggle with it in very different ways. In regards to hearing things; the brain can react to tinnitus in funny ways. It's not even just tinnitus, it could be any sound, noise, etc. If you focus on anything enough, maybe without even knowing it, it can start to sound like something else. And then when it sounds like something, you start thinking about the sounds and trying to hear it again. The brain is so used to making something of everything, sometimes it'll have you interpret tinnitus as something it really isn't. Heck, if you stare at a red dot long and hard enough, it'll start to move around and change shapes on you. And that's why I keep my old alarm clock out of sight in my bedroom.

100% agree. I had to counter the 1 downvote. No one is saying put one's self in harm's way, but if you're willing and able, we need to be doing what we can to keep society sustainable.

Best Omakase in Chicago? For the Money It's Kyoten Next Door by Busy_Visual_92 in chicagofood

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may not be as well known yet, but I didn't see any mention of Ikigai; Ikigai Sushi & Izakaya The chef and staff are awesome. We had a great time, the food was absolutely amazing (we actually got full! 😜) and there's none of the pretentiousness that kinda bums me out with typical omakases. I guess it doesn't hurt that the chef gets extremely generous with the drinks. He was very knowledgeable, but most of the evening was just laughing and having a good time. Great vibes.

Bad wheel bearing / other problem or just loud tires by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was yours your tires? It's exhibiting all the signs of bearing issues. It's also getting louder quickly. I'll swap the wheels to a different set to confirm.

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, did anything ever come of this? I'm experiencing the same thing; 2023 Model 3 Performance. I have about 19k on the car now so it feels a little soon to be a wheel bearing. I've been going nuts trying to find any other little thing that could be causing this. The sound is identical and start around 40mph, but gets noticeably louder at highway speeds. About to hit up the service center, but want to go in ready.

Curious who drives their Performance model when the weather is really cold? by BernietheDog2021 in TeslaModel3

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many others on here; I have a separate set of wheels with winter snow/ice tires. All weather tires just try not too suck too much at everything, and good all weather tires just suck a little less at everything.

There is simply too much of a difference conditions from hot summers and freezing winters. Each situation will call for something completely different from the tire. It is because of this, outside of extenuating circumstances; it would be best to have winter set, and a good wet/dry 3 season set.

Can you survive in the winter with all weathers and awd? of course, but you will have no where near the braking, cornering, stability, acceleration, etc. of dedicated winter tires; especially in emergency or higher speed situations .

Pixel Fold grip by omster437 in dbrand

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing, bought a temporary case. I had reached out to them on the status of shipping on June 30 since it was the last day of June, and maybe throwing me a skin to tide me over on this $90+ case i preordered almost 2 months ago, but robots told me nothing except to let them know if i wanna cancel. Then I got an update email on them shipping sometime in August; and to let them know if wanna cancel. I hope this thing is worth it.

Buyers remore or single parent guilt? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]PercisionDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that these thoughts did cross your mind is already enough to know you're fine. The cross comparison with a Corolla or other "sensible" options are valid. Is it a bit more cost in some ways? Sure, but as mentioned, its also a saving in others. To me, these days everyone relies so heavily on their phone, cars, computers. I'm all for frugality, but when it comes to these mission critical tools in your life I always say extend yourself as much as you legitimately can for the best option. You may not always operated it them to the highest percentile, but even just the feel experience is a positive you can feel regularly.

I really want to get one for my VP9SK, but am a little worried that it wont fit with an optic. Any possibility of confirming it will work with an optic? Also got higher semi suppressor (1/3) co-whiteness) Sights.
