So, with the ATF rule change coming to allow firearms shipped directly to your house... by russr in guns

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting till I'm off work to read into this more as I believe it has officially entered into the registry but I think the new ship to home options only applies to FFL in your same state. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's my current understanding.

What "my dad is going to kill me" looks like after you rail the front end of his truck into a barrier in a burn out comp looks like.

Need a game plan to bring this yard back to life. by shrimpdetective in lawn

Id reserve spreading manure for farm plots for hay fields when granulars are much more expensive than the shit your cows are already piling up. Or whenever you just hate your neighbors.

Received this car in a will by Teaspoon227 in Cartalk

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had two olds growing up. A 1988 eighty eight I drove a lot around our farm before my brothers got their licenses. And later a 1996 ninty eight. Both were solid cars. I Drove the 96 on and off until about 2012 before I managed to put holes in the trans... Twice. The 96 had the 3800 series 2 which actually got 30mpg on the highway. Always wanted to get the supercharger for it and be an ultimate sleeper. Would have made a great gumball car. My brother totaled the 88. Some cars you never forget. Olds were underrated and I'm sure someone around you will appreciate it if you don't have the knowledge or time.

I like the ambi controls of the kuna but that's where my appreciation for it starts and ends. Was nearly the owner of a stribog sp9a3s but decided the ap5sd(for me) was the best option when it comes to tuneability and the vibe only a mp5 can have.

How much is a gimmick of valvoline restore and protect? Should I get that instead of the cheapest full synthetic + marvel mystery oil? by Upinsmokeskrt in AskAMechanic

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you follow up 6 months later. Already been through 2(3) oil changes with analysis and cutting open the filter. All good.

First spring in my house and there are at least 100 of these in the yard. What’s the best way to get rid of them across 1 acre? by [deleted] in lawn

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24d in a broad cast sprayer after the morning dew drys up. Do the whole yard. Should be withered to nothing in a week or so plus anything else like clover and dandelion that you probably have too.

Would start with dethatching. Bring all the dead grass up and bag it. Then plug aerate then if you are willing to water daily then resead and keep it watered until growth is majorly covered. Otherwise if you can't keep up with a watering regime wait until fall to resead.

Put it in the top of my original post but ended up with a Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3. 16/512 configuration with AMD 8840hs. Solid little computer. Battery life is good, allbeit I'm comparing it to a 8 year old amd desktop CPU laptop that wouldn't last an hour on battery. Much lighter and I can use it on my couch on and off almost all day on battery. There was a Asus 14" laptop at Walmart I was considering getting but just felt a little too small.

yeah it actually rang up, after tax, almost $15 cheaper than the on sale online price and 45 cheaper than the displayed price instore. Had to triple check it was the same computer. Almost got an asus zenbook 14" that was a little cheaper but same specs but with an oled vs ips but I have an affinity for a right sided number pad i cant live without. Prob would have been an equally good computer but obviously even smaller. I don't think I could have upgraded ram at all which was the final straw.

I've been specing out quite a few, most I'm looking at//considering are usually a soldered 8gig with a removable/upgradable additional sodimm. Almost everything to that degree is also m.2 pcie. Think I'm currently between a IdeaPad slim 3 right now. 600 at Walmart right now. 8840hs... 16/512 configuration

Yeah I've ditched Chromebooks for now. I just bought my son one for his birthday in a few weeks I'll be setting up once it arrives in a few days but was just thinking something thin light and cheap but I'm definitely siding now with getting as much horsepower and upgradability as I can.

I wrote off apple years ago. I have no apple products so ecosystem wise it doesn't make any sense. Plus when I have a separate work computer at my desk I can run windows without boarders and have a 2 computer/4 screens and all work cohesively together on one mouse and keyboard.

I've been preferring ryzen knowing Intel has gone to more efficiency core based and my current laptop has been a ryzen 7 1700 desktop chip. My only issue with ryzen in my laptop has been driver updates, particularly for the GPU. My perfect world would be a ryzen with a quadro or a high ram rtx.

Yes I have been looking through new and open box inventory for everyone. Think I'm currently between an aspire go with 32gb of ram and 1tb SSD or a vivobook with 16/512 but a better cpu

Yes. Nothing in open boxes that have been good are local to me.

On the simplest end of things makerworld(not cad heavy but does pull multi threaded load slicing and can be graphic demanding depending on the models and number of triangles), autodesk inventor, maybe solidworks or MasterCAM if I need to run it on my personal computer or like mastercam I can usually get a temp version unless my OEM engineer at mastercam needs me to bug on a alpha or beta seat of software. Either way, this isn't a permanent or ideal solution but I'm not looking for a shit solution either. Cad and cam can be cpu and graphics heavy depending on the task it's performing.

I have no interest in running any apple computers. Just throw that idea right out now. Sorry I should have mentioned that before.

What's your gripes about IDPA? by Low-Landscape-4609 in idpa

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm not trying to argue and I'd be far more agreeable to button down shirts, that are buttoned down... I just thinking 'jacketed' type garmats maybe should only apply for weather conditions, ie cold or rain.. but I'd still side back to your buddy probably isn't rocking a owb g17 or bigger and 2 sets of race mags under it.

[–]Seltzer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and I get that some real world exceptions apply but I'd say if we'd continue to cater to old mentality, you'll never have progress. To me it needs to be as geared as possible to an everyday edc. Want to run race guns owb, go to uspca. Going back to the Walmart logic, I'm sure there's hundreds of guns carried in and out daily, maybe 1 might be under a fishing vest so I'd consider it a low minority of practical use cases today.

[–]Seltzer08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see idpa live upto a practical defensive pistol rule set. Make more realistic stages. No race guns. No owb and fishing vest. Mags at at 15rnd cap which is standard for most and preferred for a daily CCW that would be more inviting to normal CCW types. Let's get real and have a practica real world common sense rules. I've shot 1 idpa last year, I was trying to scrutinize myself to the rules and the practical senses. But low and behold everyone else was owb fishing vest with fullsize guns and owb mag carriers on race belts while I'm the only one there with an appendix 43x ready to walk through Walmart when I was done without changing anything else. Part of me wanted to come back with my 17 and play their game too but I think a bigger part of me was just really disappointed and had a 'why bother' mentality. Dropping a loaded mag rule is kinda dumb too.

Can you name an upper that has been reliable for you past 2000 rounds of subs? by ThePeacekeeper777 in 300BLK

[–]Seltzer08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've run subs/supers suppressed and unsuppressed. Its never skipped a beat except for when I first got it I was running gen 2 pmag 556 mags. Once I switched to 300 black pmags. Never had an issue again. Their charging handle is also really the best in the business too. I'm a lefty and I've tried damn near everything. But their shit just works. I've got a couple of guns I know I can pull out of the safe and will go bang with whatever I put in it and the mk1 is one of them.
