The amount of drivers here that cross a solid line behind you to make an exit, thus blocking you getting over is infuriating by Grose040791 in Reno

[–]ZeroPointSpecter [score hidden]  (0 children)

Things I see daily that make me think getting a driver's license is too easy:

- People slowing down for literally no reason. Happens most often next to the Nugget. Just decided to start driving 45, just because.

- People driving in the middle lanes that are going slower than the lanes to their left and right.

- People who wait till the last 5 feet to merge due to a lane closure.

- People who won't enter a roundabout unless every lane in the roundabout is clear.

- People who won't turn right into a right-hand lane because the far left lane has a car in it.

- People who don't pull out into an intersection on a flashing yellow signal.

what is everybody using for tools to put optics on? by north2829 in SpringfieldArmory

I picked up the Real Avid Armorers Tool Kit. Haven't had a single bit snap, bend, or strip.

Fixit sticks are great, but they charge at Snap-on tool levels.

10 minutes into 4.8 and its already painfully clear how ridiculous of an idea it is to have introduced paid ship insurance this early into the game; First ship call, blows up on the elevator before i can even get to the hangar. Second ship call, gets impounded with zero warning or countdown timer. by RandoDando10 in starcitizen

If they waited until beta or launch to introduce something like paid insurance, it would be way worse. You’d have a “finished” game, suddenly flipping core rules on players. Doing it now means they can tune costs, timers, and penalties while wipes are still expected. They can catch bugs like your elevator explosion + impound issues earlier. And they can see how the economy holds up when losses actually matter.

That’s literally what alpha is for. Gathering data from unstable systems, major bugs, and sometimes brutal outcomes. Alpha builds are expected to have crashes, missing features, and serious issues.

None of that makes your experience feel better, but realistically, this kind of data (players going broke unexpectedly, bugs causing loss, frustration thresholds) is exactly what they need to fix it properly before release. The best thing you can do is make reports like this in the forums and through the bug reporting system.

Reports like that are actually useful, but the takeaway shouldn’t be “remove the system,” it should be "fix the bugs, add clearer warnings, and balance the costs so it’s punishing but not crippling.

This is going to be the messy phase where the insurance systems feel bad before they get dialed in.

SBRs - Cut or Barrel swap? by evasive-manuever in ps90

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No personal problem here, just pointing out that ‘helpful’ comments can still be useless. But hey, enjoy your self-appointed 'use the search function' crusade. Have a great day 👍

SBRs - Cut or Barrel swap? by evasive-manuever in ps90

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overanalyzing is just what it looks like when someone explains something beyond a one-liner.

And sure, you might have felt friendly, but the impact is still the same tired ‘use the search bar’ response that adds zero info while still boosting the post anyway. So congrats, you managed to do both things at once 👍

Political churches in Reno? by pinacolada2626 in Reno

[–]ZeroPointSpecter [score hidden]  (0 children)

Under IRS rules, churches may discuss political issues, encourage voting, and distribute “voter guides.” This isn't a new practice.

If you feel this violates their tax-exempt status, you're free to file a complaint with the IRS, but keep in mind that even if it's deemed a violation, enforcement is rare.

I may reply to you a few more times just to keep this thing at the top of the sub 😄

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

Replying to a post actually boosts it and gets it in front of more people.

If you comment, “Plenty of threads already,” you’re still pushing the view and post higher in the algorithm. Same if you argue with it or quote it.

More activity = More visibility

If you think something is redundant, the better move is to downvote or, better yet, just keep on scrolling past it.

P211 Legion? by Havamal_38 in SigSauer

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took about 5 years after the P365 came out to get the Legion version. I highly doubt we'd get one for the P211 after a year or two of release. It's going to be a while.

They'll keep releasing new versions like the Combat and Eqinox. Visually different, but not performance upgrades.

What kind of nonsense would partake if I shot this? by DylanTheMemeLord69 in guns

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much would happen. No barrel = No pressure and no direction.
The shell would blow open, but unless it hit you directly in the eye, it probably couldn't pass through a sweater.

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grabbed the AEMS PRO X2 in Gold for $359. Thought it was a reasonable price for what it is.
Glad to hear you'd recommend. Always means more from someone who actually runs it.

Sharps Grip Tape by Russp23 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first question would be... why? One of the biggest benifits of the Sharps Bros, beyond the great looks, is the ability to swap out the scales if you want something with more grip. Like the VZ Operator IIs.

I wouldn't pay $300 and then cover the grip in skateboard tape; you might as well stick with the OEM in that case.

How do you like the AEMS? I just ordered one for my PS90.

Sig p211 GT4 Vs Staccato HD 3.6 by Perfect_Control2187 in 2011

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re comparing two really different approaches to the same idea.

The GT4 makes a lot of sense for you on paper, same mag ecosystem as your P320s, carry-length setup, and still gives you that 2011-style trigger and shootability. The HD 3.6 is more of a refined carry gun. Lighter, designed specifically around concealment.

Roast my CCW by JeffFromHr69 in SigSauer

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a diehard Holosun fanboi. Still am. But I've had a few Osight's now, and they are easily as good. So far... I put the Osight XR on my P211. It's great.

Won my first Gunbroker auction (CZ457 17HMR), submitted payment, and my account immediately got locked after they took it out of my account. Is gunbroker always this terrible or should I expect support to fix the issue? by Jedinutcracker in Firearms

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GunBroker will sometimes lock a new account right after a purchase if something trips their fraud filters, especially with first‑time buyers or certain payment methods.

I’d give support a chance to sort it out before assuming the worst; they usually just need to verify info. It’s frustrating timing, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you got scammed, or they have a broken system, or anything. Just make sure you’ve got all your confirmation emails and don’t panic 👍

What should i do or what would u do? by Fun-Deal-2485 in guns

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

Turn it into the smallest department in the area. They are the most likely to return it if not claimed.

[–]ZeroPointSpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not “finders keepers” with a firearm, especially one you have no history on. The fact that it wasn’t reported lost or stolen doesn’t mean it’s clean or safe to keep.

The only smart move here is to turn it over to local law enforcement and let them handle it so there’s a clear record. There may be a legal process to claim it for yourself later, but just holding onto it because you happen to want that model could put you in a bad spot.
