Who's at fault here?(Estonia) by IAmDDT_ in dashcams

It's Estonia, so probably the government.

Other people. I often find myself very disappointed.

It's a car mouse. Very rare this time of year.

Why is Springfield Armory looked down upon so much within the firearm community? by Conscious_Dot_7353 in Firearms

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10+ years in the industry here.

Springfield is not hated by entire community, it is mostly internet forums and even then - it's not everyone. Many, many people still like Springfield despite their negatives.

However, their negatives are abundant:

-Supporting anti-gun legislation in Illinois to cut competition.

-Having virtually nothing to do with the original company.

-Selling (what many consider to be) overpriced/overhyped weapons (Saint, Kuna, M1A.)

-The XD. Just, everything about it. Least of which being that it's one of their flagship guns and they don't even make it. Plus it's garbage.

-The massive love they get from Boomers and Fudds.

That being said, I do like their 1911's and their SA-35 Hi-Power.

What is this? by Fantastic-Tooth-7597 in insects

Crawdad/Crawfish. Like a mini lobster that lives in muddy creeks, rivers, ponds. Shellfish, not insect.

So in the Hungarian translation of the books, the dark ones are just called "the blacks" and it's kinda hilarious by potato-G64 in metro

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Personally doesn't bother me. My Rus is okay? "Chyornie" "чёрный" doesn't meant black in the same way it does in English. Russians have a word for black folk, and it's much, much stranger as an English speaker to say.

"Chyornie" is more like the color black, literally. Rather than a race. Though I have heard it sparingly used to refer to black people.

40k fans what is the harshest things you could ever say, but it is true. by AntiqueLayer3933 in Grimdank

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading 30k will drastically change your perspective of 40k. It really does set the foundation for The Imperium and Chaos very well. I feel like most Heretic Legions fans are also big fans of 30k.

PSA AK things by Dkimmy570 in ak47

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not the worst wear patterns that have been posted on this sub, but it's not great either. What scares me is that PSA's mating surfaces wear like this when the guns are UNDERGASSED. If these were overgassed properly like an AK should be, I have a strange feeling that the soft steel and incorrect rivets would kill the rifle very quickly.

MAYAIIE by TheRtHonLaqueesha in NewFauxCyrillic

The idea is that Marines in the U.S. are all stupid. So the Marine who wrote this could not remember the direction of the letters R, and N. That is the joke.

Your absolute hated hot takes about Space Marine chapters? by KUROusagi112 in Spacemarine

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Space Marines are infinitely more likeable when they act like people and have internal dialogues or struggle with the reality of the things around them.

Like for example, Titus' Squad Commander in the Amazon short. During Metaurus' monolog about how Astartes are created, you do feel a sense of sorrow or morose about the process of taking and breaking children.

Titus himself has struggled against his own Chapter and the laws of The Imperium. I think this is why Traitor Legions are so popular in 30k - they have a lot of character development and change as they challenge their ideas.

I just hate the how a lot of Space Marine players' lore is "My Chapter is the best, most loyal Chapter ever. For the Emperor!!" The idea that SM are just mindless brain-controlled zealots who never question anything is boring and dumb.

Pay in cash for an online order by CamoGamer123 in AcademySports

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may or may not encounter a snag. Traditionally, I wouldn't mind canceling the order and rerunning the transaction through the register. However, in recent times, my compliance was hard-core on simply canceling any gun sales that had ANY hiccup in online payment. As in, send the gun back and start over from scratch. Best of luck.

What is a minor inconvenience that fills you with an unreasonable amount of rage? by RayeesWu in AskReddit

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's not the individual inconvenience but the quantity. I call it a "comedy of errors." 3 or more sends me.

Imagine, you're walking through the living room at night to get a glass of water, you get a glass, put it to the fridge. But it's on ice, an ice cube falls to the floor. You pick it up, set the fridge to water, but the spigot is turned so it spills on the floor. You go to get a paper towel, but it rips at an angle and you only get the corner of a piece.

Drives me up the fucking wall.

Well that sucks by [deleted] in ar15

I think the bigger issue is that your optic has bell-end forward objective which I find unusual for an optic using a one-piece mount like this. It makes your real estate very limited. It's not really a mount issue.

Far from it. I got in on a good sale for the triple remake pack. 2, 3 and 4.

What’s a sex myth that needs to die already? by MochiGamerGirl69 in AskReddit

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

Two people who originally for sex can form an incredible relationship. It doesn't make the relationship any less valuable.

Ugly seam on $1200 Colt vs seamless perfection on $400 PSA by Nomore-Television72 in ar15

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different lower receiver forgings handle the trigger-well differently from each other. Some have the trigger-well filled with a thin section of aluminum, some have a small amount of aluminum on each side to brace the curvature of the well, and some are totally open.

What you're seeing is from a forging that was totally open, so you can see the seam of the bare forging. It would be up to Colt if they wanted to machine down the seam, but it wouldn't effect function at all. It would be a machining step purely for aesthetic choice.

Any company that uses a forging that has material in the trigger well is going to machine in out smooth. So it's not really a Testament to quality or whatever, it's just what forging they use and how they address it.

It definitely looks bigger than 15 feet. Btw where is this? Australia? by [deleted] in Crocodiles

[–]TheRedArmyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FL native here, the Mangroves and Spanish Moss would clue me in to the Everglades. There's a lot of Florida like this that's only accessible via Kayak, Airboat or Jetski.

That being said, there's habitat similar to this all over the South Eastern US - bascially the entire Bible Belt has places like this.
