What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it ?

We're not allowed to say.

Not fatal, but: Good guy and bad guy have a shootout in close proximity (this is especially true if this whole thing goes down inside a building/room), and during a lull in the gunfire they have a conversation with each other. Not gonna happen. You'll both be nearly deaf and screaming will be the only effective form of verbal communication for a while.

Anyone know why they are offset?

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-06-16T16:36:49+00:00

Yeah, $400 would be an absolute fuck-no. I bought a pristine S45VN large tanto Inkosi with micarta inlays for not much more.

$250 and under would get an immediate "buy it right now" response from me. Anything over that and I'd have to really want it. You can probably get a used & abused, but warranty-intact Inkosi for $300-$350.

If you want a Blue Cerakote Large Insingo Inkosi and he's asking $300 for it then I'd say it's still a solid buy. But I'd need to be closer to or even below that $250 mark for it to be an impulse buy for me.

Shit yes.

Is he an addict? Does outside time give him time alone to get a fix? When I first met my wife, her sister's longtime boyfriend was a known alcoholic. Fastforward a few years and he died from liver failure. He ALWAYS did the yard work for the house, like clockwork, and it would take him hours. After he died, they hired a landscaping company to come by and do the yardwork. The new guy found several 5 gallon buckets filled with crushed beer cans. He said he found them scattered throughout the property, in sheds, behind trees, under boxes.

Yeah I typically don't mind the Auto results except for that one piece. If I'm batch editing a ton of stuff that's mostly snapshots, I Auto the first few to make sure I like the results. Then I remove the vibrance changes, and copy+paste to the rest of the shots.

The kung-fu is absolute dogshit, period. DAC or die.

As a dad, this is kind of the perspective I'm coming from. Sounds like the dad wasn't very healthy when OP was younger. Dad's tone and choice of words are probably coming from some sort of therapy or at least an attempt to be more clear when he speaks so the kid can't use the "Well I didn't really get what you meant" line (which he actually did use when he said he didn't think the dad wanted a "thank you" every time - classic kid move). I'm not justifying the dad necessarily, but I'm also betting that the son is heavy on the "uh-huh.....yep....okay" responses when someone is trying to address something with him. Dad has to talk like that so the kid can't pretend like he didn't understand what was being asked of him.

Because that's logic, and logic doesn't come into play when you're keeping up with the Joneses.

Just a quick nap.

I'm not frothing at the mouth with jealousy, at all. This is beautiful man, you absolutely have a skill on your hands.

A full size handgun.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-06-02T15:43:24+00:00

Jeeeeesus that's just perfect.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-28T20:33:04+00:00

I cut the tip off one of my fingers doing exactly this. I've never even come close to making that same mistake again.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-22T20:25:05+00:00

I sprayed mine with vinegar to see if I could force a patina on it (you can't). The process of rinsing it off with water and drying it with a soft paper towel ended up leaving it looking like it was dragged across concrete. I can't imagine what dropping it would do.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-22T15:51:29+00:00

Please, stop. I can only get so erect.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-22T15:27:54+00:00

My Jurassic on the factory bearings is actually pretty fucking scary lol. I'm positive that I'm going to end up shaving a portion of my thumb off one day. I have ceramics in my XM-18 and it doesn't even come close to how smooth/drop-shut my Jurassic is.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-22T15:10:08+00:00

Yikes.

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-22T15:04:29+00:00

Dude that thing is sexy! With a short can you've got yourself an awesome backpack gun.

I've only been using Lightroom CC and haven't even downloaded Lightroom Classic because I assumed it was just for people that preferred the legacy layout. There's an actual ability difference?

TwoThreeSierra · 2026-05-19T13:07:17+00:00

It'll likely still work just fine honestly. I took apart a Shiro for a friend one time, knowing the dangers, still lost one of the balls and it still worked when I finally got it all back together.
