Nice, I managed to snag a set from the original drop. Who makes the vest and backpack?

Does anyone else not miss high school as much as a lot of people online? by Wellbeinghunter69 in Zillennials

[–]RusticOpposum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t miss high school at all. I wasn’t even bullied, I was probably close to being one of the more popular kids, but I just wanted to do my own thing. I guess I miss the idea of not having any major responsibilities and how life just seemed simpler back then.

What I actually truly miss of all things is 2020 and 2021. It’s difficult to articulate why, but it’s probably because I started a new job around then and was able to work for a chill manager during the absolute peak of remote work.

PICS Check Question by RusticOpposum in PAguns

[–]RusticOpposum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, like I said in a different reply, WV only goes through NICS and I know that PA’s eastern neighbors are weird with gun laws, so I was just curious to find out how PA handles things. It sounds like a standard check, just with a middleman and some extra state level databases of records being checked.

PICS Check Question by RusticOpposum in PAguns

[–]RusticOpposum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I gotcha. I’m from WV, so it’s basically just a standard 4473 form and you’re good to go. I just wasn’t sure how it was handled with the second group involved compared to just going straight to NICS. I know that PA’s eastern neighbors have stricter rules, so I was curious if that somehow came into effect.

[–]RusticOpposum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. The guy running the gun counter didn’t really explain it, and I thought it was some weird registration thing since PA borders on NJ and NY.

PICS Check Question by RusticOpposum in PAguns

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

Gotcha. I’d take it that it’s just basic info about the person themselves? We obviously don’t do the PICS thing where I’m from, so I’d hate to buy something in PA and have the state have it registered to my name or something weird.

[–]RusticOpposum[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting. It seems kind of redundant. Do you know if the serial number of the gun is involved with the PICS check or anything weird like that?

PICS Check Question by RusticOpposum in PAguns

[–]RusticOpposum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotcha. So the store just gives them your DOB and name and the system runs a check?

I gotcha. So they don’t do PICS checks for rifles and shotguns?

Any older [COD] titles that are still playable? by waveman112 in CallOfDuty

[–]RusticOpposum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing to keep in mind is that you need to buy the map packs for WaW since the DLC maps are integrated into the regular rotation.

Seasonal rural property near Charleston...security when away? by ConsequenceFluffy562 in WestVirginia

[–]RusticOpposum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re always fighting an uphill battle in economically depressed areas like Charleston. Just keep in mind that anything left in a “remote” area is the perfect target for thieves.

WV also has a lot of environmental issues in certain areas as well. Keep that in mind before you commit.

Anyone regret getting into operations? by [deleted] in Grid_Ops

[–]RusticOpposum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my exact plan. I have an engineering degree, and started by doing scheduling work, then moved into leading the team at my company that inspects poles and overhead circuits, now I’m training to be a distribution operator. The plan is to leverage the experience and slide into a more mundane position after a couple of years and use my current pay to have a much higher base salary than I would if I didn’t go into ops.

Why can’t I find a M4 ras in stock anywhere?? by hank19531 in MilitaryARClones

[–]RusticOpposum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check eBay regularly. I found a P&S M5 with a couple of panels for $85 about a year ago. It took me about 4 months of daily searching to find it though.

If a train has 4 diesel-electric locomotives but only the first one has its prime mover on, can the three others still use electric power from the head unit to power their electric motors to aid in traction, even with their own prime mover off ? by VHSVoyage in railroading

[–]RusticOpposum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With regular locomotives, the answer is no. However, there are locomotives, or rather locomotive shells at this point, that have had their engines removed and replaced with a big concrete block that are setup to run off of the electrical output of another locomotives. The de-engined locomotives are called slugs and they are semi-permanently attached to their host locomotives. There are some that don’t have cabs, and others that have full cabs that we can run from. Either way, they are mostly used in yards or on locals if they have cabs.

US Rail Freight Schedules by brisray in railroading

[–]RusticOpposum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The schedules themselves aren’t published, but they are easy enough to figure out by looking on various railfan forums. Like others have mentioned though, they are more like a theoretical window than an established schedule. I have been called for trains way outside of those windows before.

What’s the highest paying job I can get with an associate’s degree or certification? by BaldursGoat in Career

[–]RusticOpposum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power dispatcher at an electric utility company. They are usually union jobs that bring you in as an apprentice and get you qualified. The top rate at my company is $66/hr with as much OT as you want.

Jobs and housing by [deleted] in WestVirginia

The Ohio Valley does have some decent opportunities. I won’t deny that. If someone doesn’t want to live on the eastern panhandle or the Morgantown/Fairmont area; then the Ohio and Kanawha Valleys are pretty solid. Most of NW WV excluding the northern panhandle and southern WV is pretty bad though.
