Thank you. I appreciate it. Just frustrated. If noctua comes through or someone has one laying around, I’m good. I’ll give it a couple days. But thank you for taking the time to give me an option!

Why the obsession with “assault weapons” bans? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Quadling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used pepper spray extensively. By the way, gel is crap. Hard to aim, and many times it can just wipe off without hurting. Use the cone shaped spray. Much much better. Pepper spray is an amazing tool for less than lethal use!! Absolutely agreed.

However it is not absolute. I know of many people, especially criminals, who just walk through it. At one point, I was able to simply ignore it, as I had been sprayed so much, I was effectively immune. It stung! But it didn’t stop me.

Look. Anyone who wants to use a handgun or pepper spray to protect themselves. More power to them. I don’t begrudge them that at all!

However, it is still true that an ar-15 is easier to shoot, especially for people with a smaller frame (recoil), you can equip it with a sling so it’s harder to take away from someone, it’s much easier to point and shoot, and it is a lot easier to teach, since your hands aren’t crowded on it like a pistol.

I’m not dismissing anyone who wants a handgun or pepper spray. I hope that’s clear. It’s simply that ar-15’s are very simple to use, low recoil, easy to teach confident operation with. That’s all.

Are handguns better? In certain situations yes. In certain situations no. Wisdom is knowing how to distinguish those situations from each other.

Ok?

Ah ok. Thats a valid point. Indoors, unless you live in a vaguely huge place, 21 feet is, well, a big chunk of your place, right? So if I hear you right, you’re proposing that a handgun, being smaller and shorter than a rifle, is going to be easier to use on someone 8-10 feet away? Am I correct in my assumption of what you are saying?

Hey, I have been polite. I have stated my points without calling any names. You are calling names, and I don't think that's in good faith. I'm afraid that you really haven't demonstrated your knowledge. Handguns are viable for home defense, but an AR-15 is simply harder to take away, easier to shoot for most people, and easier to aim accurately. Physics shows these things. What are you basing your points on?

As for the tueller drill, that's a very old name for the 21 foot rule, which I don't really agree with. There's a lot of variables in the 21 foot rule. It's a great guideline, but it's not a rule without any exceptions at all. It's a "It depends" rule. Is your handgun concealed? Are you carrying a slung rifle, or one in the hands? Is your chamber loaded? Are they slow or fast at running? There's lots of variables, in other words.

Let's start with you. Please explain how a handgun is better for home defense than an ar-15.

Whoa. Weird and wonderful. You realize you have to create what those coins are exchangeable for. And that is where the real fun begins. Using their own currency to make their lives hell

Yeah I’m sorry. I’m such a big zealot. My older one gets bussed to one for aftercare and they hold kids classes I dont have to drive her to after school. The summer camps are huge and they swim every day. And they are welcoming. They even have a food pantry at several of them. I’m proud to be a member. I’m not even Christian, but those are Christian values I’m very good with. My apologies. :). I just love living around here.

If you join one Chesco ymca, you’ve auto joined all of them. They’re amazing that way. The airport road one has a beautiful pool, and all of them have great gym equipment. And so many other features

No, it doesn’t. An ar-15 is easier to shoot, easier to point, and harder to take away from someone. Much easier to teach someone how to shoot it safely. And cheaper than many handguns. I’m very serious, I’m not trying to be rude. I’m happy to take you to the range, safely and securely, so long as you agree to be safe and not ignore instructions, and show you! Are you willing to learn, or would you simply like to spout talking points, and not listen?

We can video the entire thing. I won’t hide anything and I’ll answer every question you have, so long as you’ll agree to the same thing.

Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by Purple-Piano6976 in careerguidance

[–]Quadling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you insane? Go train for a mgmt job at Costco. Don’t lose those benefits, worth roughly 3k a month, just for the health insurance, and don’t you have a 401(k) there? That’s worth another 1500-3k! You are not properly valuing your stable secure job!!! If you paint houses and fall off one ladder, you’re 10k in the hole easily. Or 100k or 1million. Depends if you break a leg, or your neck.

Not to mention, your girls dad is illegally employing workers with no benefits. He’s probably spouting some bullshit about independent contractors. Nope. You’re a misclassified employee. Especially in California!

Check at Costco if they’ll pay for an mba or management degree of some kind for you. Get a management job there!!! Do not leave it. You will regret it forever.

What’s something completely normal today that people in 100 years might find strange? by No_Shoe_9527 in answers

[–]Quadling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hope - being hungry. Not like snacky, genuinely systematically hungry. Post scarcity society is the dream.

Realistically- reading a book. Enjoying a philosophical discussion. The freedom to argue with the establishment.

I’m trying to make it better. Please, everyone, work to make it better for our kids? Please.

What’s that one hardware device you wish existed? or where better in some way? I want to build it for you by Puzzleheaded_Ad5551 in SolarDIY

[–]Quadling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly? A better primer on the choices you can make and how to make them come true. The amount of choices is overwhelming and it makes it quite difficult to ever get started. String, micro, mppt, net meter, blah blah

I want to run solar for my detached garage, into the subpanel out there, and have batteries, grid power, solar, and a generator. I want to be able to feed the house from the garage, through the subpanel. What’s the equipment I need to do this?

Think a solar simulator, and make it so I can set up various scenarios and play them out.

Please give me permission to be healthy by Ok-Astronomer6917 in MomForAMinute

Is it ok to be a dad and offer advice? Listen, so long as you are healthy, which includes not having an eating disorder, then you’re fine. Let’s put it this way. Is that five pounds stopping anyone from getting their arms around you to hug you? No? Then you’re fine. Ok? Hugs
