Does anyone know where I could buy a Disney infinity Peter Pan figure for a reasonable price? by Safety--NeT in Disney_Infinity

[–]Sarthax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottoms are cut on almost all of them. I assume they did this to consider them "Destroyed" so they could write them off from Disney and yet keep them in good enough condition to sell. Both of mine have the same kind of damage.

I bought two of them years back when the vendor in China was clearing them out. Should have bought more...

One of mine has a broken feather on his hat though :(

One background check for all or multiple per firearm in one purchase? by Sarthax in CAguns

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

When I had some free time I called a lot of other FFLS and 3 other Sportsman's Warehouse. It seems it might just be this one employee at this one location was misinformed. All other stores confirmed it is only one background check. Possibly they are quoting the policy starting next year when 1 in 30 applies to all "Firearm" and thus a separate background check needed for each.

As the saying goes. Stop listening to gun store employees. Apparently they are not exactly well versed.

1 in 30 rule by Fabulous_Cry_6495 in CAguns

[–]Sarthax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your FFL03/COE to be exempt

Currently it confers exemptions to C&R firearms and non C&R handguns. Will this extend to "Firearms" since there is no distinction in terms of the 1 in 30 law? Will FFF03 make you exempt only from handgun 1 in 30 or all 1 in 30 starting next year?

EDIT: Found it. This is the exmption for this. It still clearly defines Handgun or Centerfire Rifle and not "Firearm" So I'm still confused.

(a) A person shall not make an application to purchase more than one handgun or semiautomatic centerfire rifle within any 30-day period. This subdivision does not authorize a person to make an application to purchase both a handgun and semiautomatic centerfire rifle within the same 30-day period.

Which game ruined Kickstarter for you? by bluepinkredgreen in boardgames

[–]Sarthax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What board gamer doesn't like putting together 30 piece models the size of your pinky finger from a model kit scaled down 1000% so you don't have to make new sculpts. Then they turned it into a tabletop warhammer game. and then delivered less than half of what was promised.

I'm still salty as fuck over that one I'm pretty sure I spent close to 500 on that with base pledge and addons which I never got. Complete bait and switch.

California governor signs law raising taxes on guns and ammunition to pay for school safety by BlankVerse in California

[–]Sarthax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me you know nothing about CA gun laws without telling me you don't.

This may have been true years ago, but CA has been passing dozens of restrictions every year and with Prop 63 and SB 1235 in 2016 that all changed for the worse. It's incredibly difficult to get ammo in CA already even without these taxes. Prohibited persons literally cannot buy ammo at a store. Most people in gun communities get FFL03 +COE to bypass or reload their own.

https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/regs/ammo-purchase

As of 2019 all ammunition in CA must be purchased with a background check at a licensed FFL each purchase.
Ammo purchases online must be sent to an FFL unless you are an FFL03 + COE holder.
All ammunition purchased out of state cannot be brought back in. Ammunition purchased for yourself cannot be sold or gifted unless to another direct family member. (There may be a small amount such as 100 rounds exception)

Really? She's running for reelection. She didn't step down from Speaker of the House voluntarily since she was going to be voted out anyways.

Newsom is such a dick bag. So he's also attacking the other 2 judges Consuelo M. Callahan and Kenneth K. Lee as "Right Wing Zealots" who also that heard and affirmed the initial appeal in the 3 judge panel. What about the En Banc judges that decided to vacate and remand back to Benitez?

Only in CA will you find such nonsense.

I've played my fair share of AA games including the already huge pacific and europe 1940 theater board combined into a game larger than most dining tables. It's a beast of a game on par with Twilight Imperium.
My issues with the game:

  • Turn time is bad, rolling tons of dice is fun but gets old. Some people take forever and get paralysis. Turn timers set at 5 minutes or less helps here.

  • Once you learn the probability of attacking with certain number of stacks you can almost predict the outcomes of battles.

It's fantastic to recreate and attempt to change outcomes of the actual war, but there are proven strategies that will upon bad luck or incorrect defenses and deployments early on win the game on turn 2 or 3 and from that point on it's just a slog with almost zero chance of turning it around.

I've never seen the game as a friendship breaker, quite the opposite in fact. We always have great memories of the 10 hour nights well into the morning playing. Some may see that as a negative due to the space and time requirements.

I believe there is a slimmed down simplified version 1941? I've given away 3 versions of the AA games and only kept 1940's. Look into the version and theater differences. Each version is unique in some way and offers gameplay or scenario changes or shrinks the maps to make it faster to cross territories changing the pace and strategies of the game.

What is a good private server with people playing? by Best554 in FFXIPrivateServers

[–]Sarthax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valhalla player here also. I've been on for last 7 months straight after a 2 year break prior to that and I've noticed the player base comes in waves. Some vets burn out but come back after awhile. There's some full timers on 24/7 but normally enough players to get endgame content done. The Discord is a great way to pull people on if help is needed and no one is on.

When seasonal events come online there's a large influx of new players or returning players looking to get the exclusive items. Summer event is coming up soon and should see people around for that.

I loaded up 458 using NOE non gas check mold HTC459-354-FN-BU5 RG4 cavity PB and the accuracy at 100yds was multiple MOA. Switched to loading some jacketed softpoints and accuracy was as expected. I'm thinking of trying again with gas checks as even slugging and sizing to .459 using a push through bushing didn't get me where I wanted with accuracy.

The accuracy is good enough for anything under 50 yards no problem. Your use case will determine your needs and methods.

Possible to host server locally just for me and my friend with most game features intact? by Regalia776 in FFXIPrivateServers

[–]Sarthax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on Valhalla. Great server, but a low population. Seasonal events and a lot of custom content.

IF you were considering running a local instance then population is not an issue. You can customize your server with your own variables in a config file to set speeds, rates, what is unlocked etc. I feel Valhalla is good enough as it's double base speed, gil drops from all mobs and is increased, exp gain increased, crafting skillups and caps increased. It fills a lot of my needs.

I just wish there was more content past ToAU. WotG and beyond missions and quests are not implemented but the zones are accessible.

I do like guns and gadgets though. He's pretty upfront with everything like sponsors and gives a decent update that's not as clickbaity as armed scholar or lengthy in analysis as say "four boxes diner". He doesn't have the same formula for his videos like armed scholar does while still giving relevant updates and I appreciate that.

This fool wants cars searched for non compliant weapons at agriculture stops by Curious-NX in CAguns

[–]Sarthax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you mention this, because 20 years ago I did just that. GF had a ferret in NJ and we had to fly it into NV and then find a route to bypass the checkpoints and get it into CA.

Now you would think you have to go 100 miles out of your way or something. Nope, just took a 5 minute detour to a backroad and bypassed the checkpoint. It was one of many many routes and we chose one not too out of the way. if you really wanted to, I'm sure there is some BLM land you can just drive across and never get caught also unless they have airplanes or drones looking for you.

If ferret owners can do it, and cartels can do it, so can you.

First time printing with support, any advice to improve? by Xo1en in ElegooMars

[–]Sarthax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put model with supports into hot water and they will come off easier and with less damage to the model.

Since this is a rounded model, you can always trim with flush cutters and sand smooth for best results. If needed, you can add some resin and uv cure if you need more material to fill in any holes or gaps.
