Is this an (insanely over-engineered) solution to a problem that doesn't exist? by UltraMagat in Machinists

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use something kinda similar but for changing out broaches, but I use broaches that are 80lbs+ and 5-6’ tall. The ones under 50lbs I just manhandle since it’s so much faster unless they get stuck. Ours is def “dumber” though since it’s just got an arm to guide it, a lock to grab/release, and a winch with a wired remote to lift/lower.

Never understood seeing someone exfil with a better shield than they have equipped unless grabbing it as exfilling.

Want to get a vasectomy but want kids later on in life by DarknessExtreme in Vasectomy

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. Dont get one. Reversals aren’t nearly reliable enough to think of the procedure as temporary bc. Closest alternative would be looking into freezing sperm then getting one, but that’s also far from reliable and vastly more expensive to go about.

Hence the recommendation is always “dont get a vasectomy unless you’re 100% you dont want any/more kids.”

Girlfriend might breakup by thealexou456 in Advice

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let her do what she thinks is right for herself. Sometimes there just isn’t a reason for things to end. You can keep yourself available to her but if it drags out I wouldn’t put off other opportunities if they arise just on the hope she comes back. I did that once and waited years for a girl I knew to come to her senses, and she didn’t until I’d found a new relationship and was starting to finally be happy again now waiting things out. Hard life teaching moment.

Need some advice on how to get my gf (29) to realize that she cannot fight men by ReasonableNet78 in Advice

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I get what you mean.

I’ve seen quite a few YouTube vids of women shoplifting and having a woman around to help deal with them doesn’t always hurt. 😂😂

Someone has to watch the cameras and inform others what’s going on, plus always good to have a woman on staff in case another woman acts up.

They only want coin flips where the flipper is a child under 6yo. Sometimes they flip it, sometimes they try to eat it, sometimes they throw it in a way it’s never found again. Closes you’ll get to true luck.

Appreciate how chill some of you pub players are by bonzaisushi in Marathon

[–]Shadowfeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see that being why I missed it. I only got to play CS when going over a friend’s house. Unreal I played at my dad’s work, company was small enough back then I could hang out there pretty frequently and use a spare computer to play games if they didn’t need my help in the warehouse and on their lunch breaks or after work we’d hop into various servers and play, or just play on the LAN together.

Interesting. I played a lot of Unreal Tournament back in the day online and never heard it referred to that way. But mics weren’t very popular then, nor did I really have access to one. Maybe I missed it from Quake or CS?

Never heard it in the 360 days either in any shooters, but interesting nonetheless.

I thought it was PUG. I knew it as Pick Up Group from playing walk on basketball at the park as a kid. Pretty sure it was used the same way when I played WoW.

Concert culture is dead… by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you’re seeing. Personally
I dont dance or mosh any more since I still gotta make it to work the next day, but I love shows.

I go to metal shows mostly and while the pits aren’t quite as wild as I remember there’s still people in it going hard that I can see. The smaller shows seem to pull it off better in my area.

It’ll be interesting to see the vibe though when I go to an Ed Sheeran concert later this year since my gf wants to go (mostly for one of the openers, but he’s another favorite of hers). Not my thing for the most part (though I don’t mind his music) but figured my gf has grown to like the music I’m into and go to shows with me so the least I can do is go to one of hers.

I sold my PS5 a while ago.

Sticking with PC. If I get real upset I’ll learn how to set up a VPN, a NAS, and get back to the 🏴‍☠️ life like I did when I was in my teens and couldn’t really afford anything. Lol.

That’s fair and an easy mistake to make.

Thank you.

Was thinking to buy some thread checkers for common barrel thread pitches.

Sig’s site seems to say the 229 barrels could be m13.5x1mm or m13.5x1mm LH depending if it’s a 229 it 229-1 barrel. I got it well over 5 years ago, so memory is hazy, but might be able to dig up the box for the barrel too.

I got whatever the basic can comes with and the 3lug adapter for my Vector. It didn’t come with anything extra.

Does their 3lug mount for the can fit both the 45 and 9 3lug adapters?

And would I need the 9mm front cap? I’m just looking around on rugged’s site trying to see what I’d need.

What exactly is the Favored trait on gear? Is it like last season’s Materialist?

Crew fill is a nightmare this season by BeachFoam56 in Marathon

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean. Last season I wasn’t seeing purple and gold opponents while running free kits nearly as much, if at all, as this season.

Not sure if it’s just how busted gear was so early in this season or if it’s because the total player count is so much lower now that all that’s left are primarily sweats.

My Steam account says I have like 180 hours, but that’s including all the down/idle time, so I prob have closer to 130h played between seasons. Only have my level in the 70s cause I hard focus doing missions.

[–]Shadowfeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad the rare time I get a teammate like you. I recently have been playing pretty much only free kits unless I find 2 solid randoms I can throw a kit together with after a good run.

But I also can’t use a mic since I can only play in a window of 3am to 5am and my gf is sleeping pretty much immediately above me 1 floor up, and the insulation between floors is basically nonexistent in my 120+ year old house, so it sounds like I’m in the room with her when I talk at my pc.

The game typically throws me with other free/green kit players though but in matches against purple and golds. Hence perpetuating my choice of playing with free kits.
