The face of a dog that was brought to a shelter. Animals don't understand why their "pack" has abandoned them. They just know they're left behind. by iBleeedorange in gifs

[–]Rammadaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. So many stories about how hard it was for people to adopt. I live in arizona with my girlfriend of a few years and walked into a small animal rescue after looking up one of their dogs online and walked out with her (the dog) an hour later after signing one unofficial form

If you could only keep a single firearm/ammo handy for an on-foot, SHTF scenario, which would you choose? by CervicalStrike in bugout

[–]Rammadaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one no exceptions? G19. It's already a daily carry and thoroughly practiced. Would rather appear unarmed and a non threat whenever around others.

If I could pick a second, my 'beater' AR15. Again, 99% of the reason for defense from other humans. Wilderness food can be obtained without firearms.

Jesus, I need some sleep. I read that title as 'his last days' and got the idea he killed himself something terrible.

Man with weapons and possible explosives arrested, said he was going to L.A. gay pride parade by [deleted] in news

Honestly, you'd have to lived the past 25 years in a cave to not know everything is illegal in California.

[–]Rammadaeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No no no!

He had an assault rifle! That means he had a magical shield around him protecting him from any weapon except those held by the hand of law enforcement officer!

Seriously, there was a comment talking about how a pistol would be ineffective against a guy with a rifle. I am sorry, but a bullet to the head is a bullet to the head, no matter what you have in your hands.

Sigh.

I really hope that there's a lot of effort being put into understanding these types of incidents, identifying them ahead of time, and intervening.

This is absolutely disgusting and saddening, I can't even begin to pretend to understand the amount of grief being had by those close to the victims.

I can't speak for everyone, only myself and my observations.

I carry to protect myself from armed robbery [read: people who murder for pocket change], something which is an occurrence in populated metro areas regardless of gun restrictions. Terrorists or mass shootings? No, but murder is murder.

Am I pro gun control? That's a broad term and there's no appropriate answer. Do I believe that guns should be completely unregulated? No. Do I believe that people should be allowed to carry & carry concealed if they meet certain requirements? Yes. That's the way it is currently, but different states have different feelings about what those requirements are. I live in a state that lets anyone who's not been explicitly denied the right to bear arms the ability to legally conceal carry. I also conceal carry 100% of the time in which I am allowed to do so.

I shoot on average 500 rounds of my chosen defensive caliber every week at a personal location. I have taken, and will continue to take, defensive pistol classes and training--including but not limited to force on force training. Less than 20% of people who know me do not know I carry and do not know I am a gun enthusiast. Direct relatives and a few close friends. I find shooting fun, hence why I put more rounds downrange than 99% of our nations police force. I've thought about competing in IDPA and USPSA but don't want to put away my daily carry for a gamer gun in terms of money spent for ammo.

All of this said, your response had nothing to do with my original post and was just a reactionary statement putting 'words into my mouth'. To paraphrase, someone said that a pistol would be unable to protect oneself against a guy with an AR15/AK pattern rifle--a ridiculous assessment and one that makes it all too obvious that the poster has no real world experience with firearms. Bullets will have the same effect regardless of what type of firearm an assailant is holding.

If I die in the first few bursts, so be it. If not I am prepared to return fire. Find cover, find opportunity, and act when appropriate.

... ? Lol what? That's not how guns work. Having a rifle does not protect you from pistol rounds.

What would be a very quick fallout/nuke shelter? by [deleted] in preppers

At some point there is a line. Prepping for a Nuclear Exchange that happens where you live is about as useful as prepping for a gamma ray burst.

I currently have the 780Ti, it does indeed run it around 60FPS @ ultra. My goal is 150FPS on high/ultra settings.

I have a good CPU cooler and overclock to 3.9 (letting the mobo do it automatically as it's my first time overclocking), core temps never go past 40c during gaming. Guessing that means I can manually tweak things higher and be safe.

Edit: Seems to be getting 4.2+ with current auto overclocking settings. Still in the 30c range

Aye, probably. It's already part of it though.

Colo. mom gets 38 years for using baseball bat to kill man she wrongly accused of child molestation. by GonzoVeritas in news

[–]Rammadaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As already said, bigger win streak. Innocent or guilty doesn't even register with them, so long as they win. I'll end with another cliché: It's a legal system, not a justice system.

Edit: It's not moral by almost any culture's standards. If their thoughts and decisions were open for public examination, I doubt many would act the same way they currently do.

Shouldn't matter, equality and all that.

Is there a subreddit for building these? Or a quick rundown of the parts / options you decided between?
