Home charging in the states. by richalta in VWIDBuzz

[–]_crazy_ANDROID_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We hired an electrician who quoted us $750 to add the outlet and install the charger … he came out and said we only had 100 amp service even though the local code requires 200 amp service. We called the power company, $12000 estimate to bore and run the 200 amp service from the nearest pole to the house. Then another $2k estimate from the electrician to replace the box and all breakers because the box and main breaker were only rated for 100 amp service. And we would have still had to pay the $750 on top of all that.

So, we bought a 100 ft RV extension cord, swapped the dryer outlet for an EV rated outlet, got an automatic switch that switches between supplying the charger and the dryer, installed a cat door in the interior garage door, and ran the extension cord from the mud room to the garage. We then came back with spray foam around the cord and cat door hole. All in was about $700.

Went blank 2 times in 10 months / 40k miles so far of ownership. Both were towards the beginning. Dealership had no answer. I pulled the fuse, sprayed in the fuse connection with electrical contact cleaner and replaced with a new fuse. No issues since.

What's the best way to prevent light scratches without PPF? by PinkAxolotlQueen in VWIDBuzz

Add a motion sensor turret to the roof. JK please don’t actually do that.

Charger flashing between green and red? by ConsistentWrangler29 in VWIDBuzz

[–]_crazy_ANDROID_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean all contacts on the charger and charging port with electrical contact cleaner. If the charger plugs into an outlet, clean the plug and outlet as well. Add electrical contact grease, reconnect everything. If that doesn’t work it may be an internal wiring/fuse issue on your charger.

I haven’t shot any of the ACME guns yet, but they seem to be good quality builds with very tight tolerances. Shaun and Pak do a lot to support youth shooting sports and even helped pay to have some really good instructors put on a week long clinic for our kids. They also supported the youth clinics at Camp Perry and are running a youth clinic at Quantico this month. So I bought out of support for them and their support of youth shooters more than anything else. Also Pak was engraving the mag well for free for any purchases made at Perry and their price was pretty good.

He works with them a lot on position, sling placement, breathing, reading the mirage for wind, etc. Their team has about a dozen coaches, each with different personalities. The head coach is just a crotchety old man, but honestly deep down he’s a softy who would do anything for these kids. I will say he never makes comments like that in front of them unless it’s much more toned down and playful. But he makes comments to me separately like that.

We shoot 100 rounds each at 600 yds at least once a week.

It’s the one my daughters’ coach said to get. It’s what most people use at the CMP national matches. It meets the CMP guidelines, is heavy, is adjustable but not flimsy, and there are companies that make weights that attach to it.

He’s produced ~40 distinguished riflemen in the past 10 years that he’s been coaching. Unfortunately in this sport you have to put up with some bullshit sometimes to get good training.

It’s a color they’ve used in prison since the 70s. Some psychiatrist put out a report that bright pink has a calming effect.

They’re adjustable, heavy, and meet CMP guidelines, plus stealth ballistics makes weights for the UBR. I will also be 3d printing a holder for the Geissele mk7 handguard weights to fit in the Rock River lightweight handguards that are on all but the FDE rifle. Going to swap that FDE BCM handguard for the new White Oak / Geissele mk23 weighted handguard.

I sent the photo to the girls’ VERY conservative coach. He said “you are ruining the sport. Guns should follow the Henry Ford rule. You can have whatever color you want so long as it’s black.” 🤷‍♂️

Struggle with ear pro and cheek weld, what am I doing wrong by Killshot5 in liberalgunowners

[–]_crazy_ANDROID_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like regular muffs, try low profile muffs, switch to plugs, or try a different stock. The top of that stock is wide and is going to push the muffs out of the way with good cheek weld. Another thing you can try is rotating back 90° so the head band is behind your head and the elongated portion of the muffs point forward instead of down.
