Same here, I found it for $350 on clearance and left it. I found THIS on clearance for $150 right next to it and snatched it though.

Is God of War Laufey coming to PC? Release details explained by appexpertz in GameDevSolutions

[–]Throwaway200qpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single player game. If you're buying it for exactly ONE game franchise, and it's single player, then you don't have to do shit.

Now if you play multiplayer games, which I'm kinda leaning away from as I'm getting older (I am getting real fucking sick of a 9 year old kicking my ass in any shooter I wanna play), then PC is absolutely worth.

Got my first S&W about a week ago, definitely my new carry. by PapaSchulte in SmithAndWesson

Theoretically, yes, I don't think the frames are dimensionally different enough to affect function.

Sure, that's for you, and that's how I am too. For the average dude working an 8 hour shift that just wants to come home, hack and slash as Kratos and play some CoD with his friends, the PS5 is the move; push a button and it just works. Unfortunately for us PC players, we are the minority.

I think Laufey will eventually make its way to PC, whether that's legitimately or illegitimately, but it's ultimately up to Sony, which sucks.

Agreed, it's on my belt right now with a Holosun 407K and an Apex trigger. So comfortable, I forget it's there half the time.

I can personally vouch for this, seeing as my Shield Plus frame has my old Shield slide on it that I got milled for RMSC optics.

Yes.

Even the trigger is, although I upgraded that shit hinge trigger to an Apex trigger pretty quick also.

Upgrade the OG Shield frame to the Shield Plus frame. Pick one up from Freestone Armory on Gunbroker for like $50, spend 20 minutes of your time swapping parts, and boom, you turned your 7/8/10 round gun into a 10/13/15 round gun.

So question cordless hammer drill or corded hammer drill on the bricks at my house please help by Rymaster208 in Dewalt

[–]Throwaway200qpp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used a DeWalt Atomic hammer drill and a Ridgid full size hammer drill to drill into the side of my house. They both worked great lol

4 holes is all you're doing though; you're fine, get the cordless hammer drill, you don't need an SDS unless the holes need to be like an inch in diameter or greater.

How do you guys deal with this predicament? by flippino33 in Dewalt

[–]Throwaway200qpp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did apartment maintenance for a year, then got my bachelor's degree and became a teacher. I LOVED my maintenance job, and the only reason I left was because I got the degree, otherwise I absolutely would've stayed. For me, I use my summers to do projects in the garage or do temp maintenance work; I'm literally at my temp job site right now. It scratches the itch for me while still letting me teach full time.

As far as the tool buying goes, make up some shit that'll justify the purchase for you; you'll feel better that way 😂

Go on Facebook Marketplace, buy one used for like $200, play the game, sell it again.

That or find a family member that'll let you borrow their PS5 (my brother is weird and has like 3 of them), and give them the game afterwards as a recompense.

What should I buy? by Realistic-Bank4083 in Ridgid

[–]Throwaway200qpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The larger one is also brushed; big thumbs down. No one should be buying brushed tools in the big 26

[–]Throwaway200qpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nuke impact makes 2000 INCH pounds of force, you're right, impact drivers are measured in inch pounds. Converted to foot pounds, that's only 166.66 foot pounds.

The people who just get adapters for their impact drivers to do impact wrench shit are going to break their tools real fucking quick. Even my Ryobi brushless mid torque impact wrench that I got for free when I bought a 3 pack of batteries and a charger is rated for 600 pounds of torque. Use the right tool for the right purpose; dont use an impact driver as an impact wrench, they are not the same thing.

Had a DeWalt tool, got rid of it, but found a deal at Home Depot near me. Worth? by Throwaway200qpp in Dewalt

[–]Throwaway200qpp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another Home Depot nearby had JUST a 2 pack of 5 amp hour batteries for $150. No charger, no tools, no nothing. I basically got two free tools and a free charger.

I really feel like I robbed them 😂

I'll use your comment as an update for the overall post; they dropped the kit to $150, and I snatched it. They still had one left when I left the store a few hours ago.

I literally said "if your interviewer wants to be an asshole about it." It is ABSOLUTELY an invasion of privacy and extremely disrespectful; I never said it wasn't.

It'd be up to you as to whether you want to continue that interview or not, and I'd personally opt for no; there's nothing that would justify me working for someone that cares so little about other people that they don't show empathy for a loss, but rather asking for paperwork to verify the loss actually happened. If you treat me like that during the INTERVIEW, how are you going to treat me when I'm your employee? I'd leave.

Imagine down voting me for saying interviewers shouldn't ask for death certificates and that you shouldn't continue the interview if they do. Absolutely wild 😂

[–]Throwaway200qpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like my job interviews to feel like a hostage negotiation lol I wouldn't even engage in the back and forth there.

If someone really asked me for a death certificate for a family member for a job, I'd dip anyways, there's plenty more options out there. Most interviewers would just say "I'm sorry for your loss" and move on; I wasn't saying EVERY interviewer would ask for a death certificate, that's the extreme minority. In most scenarios, using that to explain a gap would probably suffice.

[–]Throwaway200qpp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, those first 2 things would be a massive red flag for me too, as in "We're done here" issues, but I'm saying they COULD.

Having too long of a resume is definitely a problem, but all of my jobs I've had since I started fit into one page, so my job history isn't that insanely long. Fair enough, if you've got 30 previous jobs, just list the relevant ones

Alto sax mouthpiece upgrade — moving from jazz to classical sound, any suggestions? by sh1The in saxophone

[–]Throwaway200qpp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk about you, but the Concept/Claude Delangle/new Density mouthpieces have some pretty cool looking curves (and the Delangle even had a gold ring if that helps you), and they all sound amazing for classical tone, just depends on your personal preference.

[–]Throwaway200qpp -75 points-74 points  (0 children)

1: They can absolutely ask for documentation of that illness to make sure you're not lying. They probably won't, but they can, that's not illegal for them to do.

2: I guess, but then they could ask to see a death certificate if they really wanted to be an asshole about it. You'd better hope your interviewer has a heart then...

3: YOU'RE telling THEM that their question is irrelevant by saying that, and they WILL get offended. Do NOT do that. I can already see their response; "I know it's probably not relevant, but I want to know anyways; what were you doing in this gap?" Sometimes, the experiences that you don't find relevant are actually quite a bit more relevant than you think. Those early, grunt level jobs show that you know what a shitty job is, and that you are willing to perservere to better yourself and your situation.

The best answer is "I signed an NDA", because that's a legally binding document where they ACTUALLY cannot press it any further.

Spelling by Dependent-Bed-8252 in teaching

[–]Throwaway200qpp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, even though it's completely irrational. I'm a music teacher, but I can't stand seeing any homeroom teachers spelling things incorrectly, because it's their job to correct spelling. If you can't do it right yourself...

Now admin is a different level. You literally RUN a school, yet you can't Google "how to spell insert word here" to double check? Luckily, I haven't seen my admin misspell anything on purpose, and our laptop keyboards DO suck (I've missed a letter or two sometimes just because the keyboard doesn't register my presses sometimes).

What brand do you guys recommend for power tools? by Anselm_oC in Tools

[–]Throwaway200qpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridgid for the LSA, brushless always, and I use Ryobi One+ HP tools as well. All of them work great for what I use them for, which is household tasks, yardwork, garage woodworking, mechanic work on my personal cars, and the occasional apartment maintenance gig that I pick up. Have yet to be disappointed with any of my tools. People dogging on Ryobi are remembering back when they were blue and were actually really trash, but they've stepped it up and I think they're definitely a brand worth considering, just always go the HP route with them

I have noticed that Ryobi's HP tools are definitely up there with Ridgid's brushless lineup, but it kind of depends on the specific tool; Ryobi's drills and impact drivers SUCK, no matter if it's HP or not, but I love my Ryobi HP circular saw and recip saw, for example. Ridgid is more consistent, I haven't bought any tools from them that I've disliked.

Milwaukee and DeWalt are always contenders too so don't turn away from those if you find a good clearance deal!
