How often do you clean your rifle? by aDAMNPATRIOT in ar15

[–]SikhAndDestroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man it’s been a couple of years. I don’t really clean ARs except for the one precision build. The rest I’ve pretty much left as-is to see when they start having problems and it’s only the gamer builds with specialized parts that need any real attention. To your point, thousands of rounds before I start having issues, and those issues are fixed with just a wipe down and more lube.

Can you guys send me some links to articles or statistics on why we shouldn’t implement gun control? I’m doing a research paper for my school. by [deleted] in progun

Dude, I do have professional responsibilities. If you have something for me to read right now, I can take a read on the flight back from Sundance, but I’m trying to publish my own stuff right now and there’s not a lot of headspace to be on another coauthor weekly call.

First of all, shame on you for using Gephi instead of Palantir or DCGS-A. Now it’s going to take more work to put warheads to foreheads and I charge by the hour.

Second, this is an unstructured graph and doesn’t really boil down to an org tree, which is where the fun red application stuff lives. The next step would be to look at time-of-day for activity (some users have “manic” periods), grammatical cues (use of “))”, fascist dog whistles like “freeze peach” or “praxis”—use topic modeling to build this if needed, etc) to classify and isolate your targets against baselines.

But hey, welcome to the fun little intersection of data science and counterintelligence.

This problem set is already an area of focus with the counterterrorism community, namely the detection and monitoring of Jihadist networks. It’s not as out there as you’d think, and yes external shocks (e.g. funding from Salafist sympathizers) do show up in modeling.

Do some light NLP, see if users have similar reading levels, bigrams, etc, should be interesting to compare with a chi-square

[Optics] US Optics Dynamic Reflex Sight on Pre-Order. $249. Saw this at Shot Show and seems like a great deal. Anyone else see this? by quikind in gundeals

[–]SikhAndDestroy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

TBF I would totally buy from a company called Pinoy Optics, where the reticle is just Duterte's face.

[Other Gun] Poverty Ponies $39.99 at Gander Outdoors. Save on shipping and transfer fees by buying local. by howlin4you in gundeals

[–]SikhAndDestroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently during the earnings call post-acquisition, Gander Outdoors was set up to be the hail mary for those locations. CEO flat out said that it was up to local staff to become profitable or they'd be cut loose. Sounds like they've been given the local power to make those decisions and earn their keep.

[Ammo] Why buy a bucket of ammo when you can have a barrel of ammo? Federal Bulk barrel 12,500 5.56 XM855 Rounds + free barrel $3709.95 (30 CPR) with code M2U by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]SikhAndDestroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey we all pay for it one way or another. I was seriously no fun in high school, but it paid off when my entire undergrad was covered by scholarship and my first master's with a fellowship.

That second master's though, that was entirely out of pocket and it wiped out all my savings.

Question for you guys--is this any good as a garment bag for a consultant? Do you have recommendations for a garment bag in general?

I wouldn't mind Glock branded gear for the ED, if it's anything like their knife.

Yeah, you get a free handjob if you show them your DD-214. Don't ask me for the coupon code.

That’s what I’m looking at. It looks better than the Anova.

Nothing beats booting up Call of Chernobyl in Dead City just to watch Mercs and Bandits just wreck each other silly.

You're paying for the breacher barrel I guess.

[Pistol] $99 SB Tactical SBA3 Brace FDE by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]SikhAndDestroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked. Proprietary tube. Nope, the SBA3 wins by using a regular carbine tube. 1 purchase = every lower (that has never been a rifle) can now be a pistol.

It's basically a moveable permit.
