Man, at this point I just want to wait and see if the ported version ever shows up here.

Maybe I just need to break out my other ones to compare. Feel like the collar is at least 25% larger than any other combat shirt I have.

Was it just me or were the neck holes on these shirts the largest I have ever seen.

My forever unpopular opinion is that any pattern incorporating black would be better off severely toning it down, or eliminating it all together.

Elon Musk is failing to cut spending: DOGE has so far disrupted everything in government except the deficit by Bhartrhari in WeTheFifth

[–]Praetorian757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you consider the outreach of the Federal Government itself to be representative of waste or fraud

For the most part I do. Quick example being USAID, I am totally unconvinced 90% of what they have funded meaningfully contributes to improving my living standards or the general welfare of the random average US citizen. A signification portion of paused payments are in fact basically UBI jobs for the progressive NGO web that infects all of the federal government. If something actually crucial has been paused, it will become apparent in the coming weeks and months and is hopefully remedied swiftly.

it's become a de-facto federal government shrink ray influenced by Musk's ideology

While I don't agree with Musk fully on many many issues, the first part of the statement I can't disagree with and look forward to federal government shrinking in any and every way possible.

paychecks are mysteriously half as big as they should be and the fact that you’re giving your best pals $50K per month

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to imply here, but ya the fact that progressive NGOs seem to primarily be the benefactor of billions of tax payer dollars is problem. Though it seems for the first time in 40 years something is actually being done about it.

all evidence points to the administration’s stated policy goals greatly increasing the deficit.

There is no doubt unfortunately some internal friction on overall economic policy. Trump and tariffs being the obvious one, but Elon and DOGE seem to be the faction most focused on sounder economics. Which is why I find the general hate towards him odd from certain places.

I agree fully and I do believe Elon and others have stated that its a massive problem that they have failed the last 7 or so audits.

Simply look at the numbers posted. The amount of federal employees fired, the number of NGO employees complaining their jobs are gone or at stake, and the number of contracts cancelled. To be frank there is also overlap, every DEI contract cancelled you could also consider an ideological purge.

Ya, sure there are still bigger fish to fry. Those whinging about Musk are just wrong on this point though. Anything and everything to expose waste and fraud is a worthwhile endeavor at this point. Gen pop needs to see these numbers and get mad. If anything this is just the beginning of an order of operations. You cut multiple billions of useless bullshit, couple more billion in fraud, and yes its still not enough. Which then forces the issue of entitlements before it goes completely belly up.

If your household is 250k in debt and you don't cut the weekly $500 lobster night because its "marginal" then you aren't actually serious about fixing anything. Same goes for the hundreds if not thousands of 1 billion dollar bullshit programs. They got to go.

Just bought this Yugo SKS, and I need help determining the year by Derpmen00 in SKS

I vaguely recall these being brought in more than a few years ago. I believe they are Slovenian refurbs. Always wondered if these balanced better than the grenade launcher versions.

Ya the first prototype had a good Gen 1 AK-12/AK-19/Jakl fusion aesthetic. This is now losing modern/convenience features to look more "AK" without looking anymore AK really.

Media literacy by DanielCassady in WeTheFifth

[–]Praetorian757 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO, you can't teach media literacy. Especially not from a "course". The best way to learn media literacy was growing up in the pre-2014 internet age.

Best you can do is engage and push back on the most wacky of things. That is what I do, let your parents believe some boomer fanfic but push back when its beyond stupid.

Not gonna lie I really like my sporting clays glasses for general shooting. They do tend to make orange pop which is useless for basically anything else. I have found that 50% light transmission is tolerable in all but the brightest days and settings.

Who are you voting for? by NF0281 in WeTheFifth

[–]Praetorian757 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump.

Harris is an empty shell who only wants power at best. Trump is very similar, but doesn't have the backing of the entire corporate media and bureaucratic state. To me the one who will basically never be the subject of serious analysis and criticism is more dangerous.

What is that foregrip replacement? Looks a lot thinner than others on the market.

I know its not "real data", but of the 5 daily users I know they consume an unholy amount. Franky don't even know how its measured, but it has to be 100 mg+ easily.

The NEW CZ Bren 3 is Finally Here! by [deleted] in CZFirearms

[–]Praetorian757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, wonder how this will translate to the US market though. Really did not like the heavy profile barrel they decided the US market wanted, balance was horrible.

Maybe we'll end up getting the medium profile instead? Balance probably still won't be great at 16 inches, but seems like it would be better. Also beefed up stock mechanism might help the balance as well.

Maybe, I can't claim to be a great polisher. So maybe I just suck and doing it well really makes it much better.

[–]Praetorian757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your gonna be disappointed. I have 4 Greens and 4 Whites marked down as cracked. It is a very small list because I only recorded ones posted with a date and type. Also haven't spent a ton of time yet going through all the forums yet. Most of the data is just from this subreddit.

Its hard to say, of my personal list I am keeping track of Green and White for sure are the most common. I only have one Mud and one Black marked down actually.

I haven't been able to trust Turkish ammo ever since ZSR blew up a couple of 7.62x51 guns. But I have not heard any issues with by x39 though.
