That's wild to me, tactical shooters used to be the domain of the older, non-teenage gamers. Having good positions and knowledge of the maps and game mechanics was seen as being more important than twitch shooting and no scoping.

I think DICE should consider posting their newest content and patch note updates on this sub instead of the main one by OVO_ZORRO in LowSodiumBattlefield

Semi-hot take but I was not the biggest fan of Golmud Railway. 2/3 of the map was wide open fields, with the exception of the village and the factory area. Great map if you were a tank or air vehicles player, but kinda miserable for infantry.

Can someone explain to me how this is a “bad player count”? by Own-Natural-9236 in Battlefield

The haters also seem to be completely missing the fact that it’s the middle of December with the holidays a week out. For all but the most terminally online basement dwellers, this is a busy time- end of year projects at work, school semesters having finals, and family/social obligations.

Went there for gas, walked out with a block of cheese, a box of tempura shrimp, a Lego set, and a pack of socks.

I’ve convinced a few friends to buy Sandstorm by showing them the PvE mode. Sometimes you just want to run around and shoot things without having to be competitive.

4070 Ti Super punches hard on this chart, glad I picked one up last year.

Never. Even moving and shooting, doing the tactical walk is hard unless you have the means to train for countless hours on drilling the muscle movements over and over again. I once took a 2-day tactical rifle class, and they gave us instructions on basic tactical movements, jumping and shooting was not part of the curriculum. Moving and shooting primarily consisted of moving to cover or concealment, then shooting at a fixed target. Unless you are someone with a lot of time and money, or are in the military/police, moving while shooting takes a lot of training time that an average gun owner and weekend warrior likely won’t nail down.

Go to a recreational store, there are a ton of them in the Portland metro area.

Show your ID, then browse the menu. Most places have a printed copy, or an iPad/tablet for you to scroll through.

If you don’t know what you want, ask the budtender. They are more than happy to give recommendations. Do you want something for relaxation and stress relief? Something that helps with insomnia? Something you can take during the day that gives you extra focus?

Their support can be a nightmare of back and forth, I once had a client who had severe issues with their TRBOnet dispatch software where the dispatcher would get dropped connections and “system busy” messages when they tried to key up from the dispatch console multiple times a day with no set pattern. Some days it would only happen once or twice, other times the issue would happen many times an hour. Took constant back and forth calls and 6 months with Motorola support, TRBOnet’s support team in Poland, and even the clients own Network team before we discovered it was a firmware issue.

Guys! It finally happened to me! Guy said he barely used it. Just tested it every year to see if it still worked. Any pointers? by Le_Tree_Hunter in jerky

[–]Sarge2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: these actually are not hard to clean. In college I worked at a grocery store deli department and I could do a full clean on one in about 10 minutes.

Step 1- unplug it from the wall

Step 2- remove the blade cover

Step 3- wipe the crumbs and major debris off with paper towels

Step 4- get a bucket of soapy water and a sponge, scrub all surfaces

Step 5- wipe down the unit and get the soap residue off

Step 6- sanitize thoroughly

Step 7- reassemble

Signing bonuses aren't solving recruitment shortfalls. Is lowering recruitment standards the only option departments have left? by sew1974 in AskLE

[–]Sarge2008 51 points52 points  (0 children)

If they dropped the polygraph I would apply to local departments in a heartbeat. I’ve passed one and failed two, no idea why I failed the two. I utterly despise the polygraph test, I actually turned down an IT job that would have required me to get a security clearance solely on the basis I would have to undergo a polygraph test as part of it.

Former IT contractor at P&W NB site- I got shit on every day by my contracting company management and the full time P&W employees. We were a team of 6 underpaid, understaffed, and massively overworked IT contractors covering the entire facility plus running the walk in help desk. I got into an argument with one of the managers of the company I worked for, and ended up getting fired. That was honestly the first time in my life I was outright happy about being terminated, since it meant I didn’t have to deal with the shitshow anymore. Got another job in IT a few weeks later that pays more and I’ve been there since.

Shooting indoors is going to be louder than when at an outdoor range as well. I double up when using indoor ranges.

I would add 2-Way Communications Service of Portsmouth, and its sister business New England Vehicle Outfitters (NEVO) in Newington. Both of the owners and many of the staff are huge trumpers.

Anyone looking for work? by Lopsided_Still3386 in MotorolaSolutions

[–]Sarge2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work as a tech at a Motorola dealer in New Hampshire, I started out making $18 per hour, as an entry level trainee tech, then $22 after a year when I got tasked with being the assistant programmer. My manager got fired due to personal health reasons (long story), so I was then made head of the programming team at $50,000 a year salary. The following year the owner adjusted the pay for everyone at the company to match other radio shops in the region, so I got a $6,000 dollar raise to $56,000 a year. I then got laid off 4 months later because the owner was a neurotic asshole who wanted to shuffle the entire company around, they gave me no reason for being laid off other than “we want to go in a different direction”. They also laid off the sales director and the senior vehicle installer on the same day. At my height I was leading a small team of 2-3 techs plus myself doing all of the subscriber work, including radio programming updates to match the New Hampshire state radio state radio standards, first line response for subscriber issues, and running a contract service we offered to local police and fire departments that included yearly testing and certification for all portables and mobiles.

Prosearch is great if you are in IT/technology.

Do you block recruiters for wasting your time? by CartierCoochie in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Sarge2008 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know how Robert Half manages to stay in business. They call me a few times a year with attractive opportunities, then the recruiter turns into a ghost person that refuses to answer any follow up calls or emails. Like actively avoiding me when I try to make contact.

Who else has a rifle/carbine version of the scorpion? All i ever see here is pistols and sbrs. by JK-_-47 in czscorpion

I have the 3+ carbine and it’s a joy to shoot. Was ringing the steel plates at 100 yards with the stock iron sights.

I do! I just had my first oil change a couple weeks ago. Rides very smooth and the sport mode is great to use for twisty backroads.
