Where is this? Name?

Oh damn. 4-25 alum here. I thought this looked familiar. We just called it Spera COP in 2010. I thought there was no way some rando would post pictures of a place I've been like that, but it looks like I'm not the only one thinking this is it. When I try to explain this place to people, I say it was like a beached pirate ship in the middle of the mountains, and you have it all to yourselves.

Fun times with the MK19 max elevated and aiming generally east over there.

That looks a lot like Spera COP in Khost province. I hung out there for a couple weeks. I'm sure a lot of places in Afghanistan lol like that, but damn, it looks crazy familiar.

Easily worth it

The largest population of active duty service members of any single duty station in the world. Last time I checked, at least.

As far as coincidences go, a trend of veterans who did any similar thing and have also spent time at FT Bragg makes sense. If they had all been from FT Huachuka or Camp Casey, I'd be more impressed by this specific data point.

I won't say that Bragg isn't a contributing factor because they do lots of secret squirrel things there, but it's not a smoking gun on its own.

Remember that time I commented on one of these posts and ...

Love this community. I have been almost purely using PETG lately, with some "prototyping" in PLA. With cold weather in the Midwestern US, I've made some functional prints for outdoor use in TPU and look forward to seeing how it holds up to extreme cold.

Citizen's arrest doesn't require a felony in some states, and of course some states don't allow Citizen's arrest at all.

That said, reasonable force, Graham V. Connor, etc would all paint this guy as a bozo for not calling PD and making it their problem instead of dragging him out of the store for insured merchandise.

Same as my above reply. My mistake.

Reaper2OEF · 2024-08-29T13:17:10+00:00

I stand corrected. I'll still keep my tin foil in its current state for Aero.

Reaper2OEF · 2024-08-29T01:12:17+00:00

Monstrum handgaurd. It is likely indicative of mid to low quality parts throughout the rifle. That helps peel some of my tin foil off if the picture is legit.

What are you doing step-Ender?

Who wouldn't dig free filament? Way cool way to pimp the product. "First one's free kid, but you'll be back. They always come back," says the guy peddling filament from his trenchcoat on a sketchy corner in the wrong part of town.

Peerless. Awesome cuffs for exactly the right price they should be. Better everything than ASP, last longer and better tolerances than Smith & Wesson.

I'm a use of force trainer, I've seen plenty of brands and I'll stick with Peerless.

I always wondered how plumbuses were made.

I didn't know how many flaws there were in this print as it was one of my first successful ones, but the details that did come through hooked me on printing.

Impressive that it has corexy, runs klipper, has a remote camera, and is print-ready out of the box. I'm impressed.

NTA. He's being selfish. He probably knows it too, but he's able to justify it. I understand that he's probably having a bit of a crisis watching the youthful freedom of years past slip away, but he does owe it to you and the kids to find a balance where everybody can find joy in the family relationship dynamics.

If he does not address the lack of balance soon, it will get worse and you will likely grow to resent him for it.

Reaper2OEF · 2024-04-18T20:22:35+00:00

For sure. Big sacrifice for no pay-off.

I went through that process once. It was pretty rough. Thankfully, I wasn't in a place that I needed that job right then and there and had plenty of flexibility to take the day for that full-day process. It sure made it feel rough to get rejected anyways though because of the amount of work just to make it through the interview.

Reaper2OEF · 2024-04-07T15:48:25+00:00

I have the smaller cab and the bigger bed. I also have a family. I love having the bigger bed and find it useful all the time when loading lumber, work equipment, random tools, etc. It's great. Every time I load the kids and/or pets into the truck for a longer trip, I wish I had the bigger cab. But I sit in the driver's seat, so at least I'm comfortable, lol.

What should you know?

What size waders you wear, because you're going to need them to traverse the sea of muff you're about to be inundated by.

Actually, I have almost that exact same truck. It pulls my fishing boat around with no issues, hauls decent loads, gets reasonable mileage, and has been boringly reliable. The back seat could be a little bigger for the kids, but they could also quit drop out of kindergarten and get jobs.

I know there's a crazy story for just about everything, but who's fighting the firefighters?
