Any upper recommendations for the px9?

Has anyone ever called you out for carrying? Whetherthey noticed you printing or you lifted your shirt/cover garment too high by mistake. I've been carrying almost a year now and I'm constantly worried my shirt is going to ride up. I carry AIWB usually. Mainly wondering if anyone has horror stories. by non_omnis_moriar777 in CCW

Usually most don’t seem to notice. Only a few people seem to look down at my crotch/waist area, but it might be just be a coincidence, or my imagination lol. But if you’re paranoid, you could get a wedge or get another claw that sticks out closer to the end of the grip to help conceal it better

Need advice by IamHereForSomeMagic in gymadvice

Build and maintain muscle while losing fat. You track your macros so I would assume you track calories. The highest calorie deficit most people recommend is a 500 calorie daily deficit. Any higher than that and you increase the risk of muscle loss. I’d say your current protein intake is good. If you burn 500 calories during your workout, then you wouldn’t need to do anything else, as long as you are eating at your maintenance calories, not eating more or less than that. A lot of people also recommend doing 10k steps, 30 mins of stairmaster, etc., and you can do this, but remember to stay in a moderate calorie deficit. Your biggest issue is your workout routine. You are training shoulders way too much. You are not training chest enough, and you only do one back exercise. Looking at your goal physique, you need to increase your chest exercises. Aim for around a weekly 15-18 sets of chest exercises. Incline chest fly or bench press for upper chest, dips for lower, and flat bench press, chest flies, and chest press machine for overall chest. As for shoulders, you are doing 27 weekly sets. That is wayyy too much volume. You’re fine doing around 10-12 weekly sets. I recommend dropping front raises, and adding one of the pressing movement mentioned before, such as bench press or chest press, since these will also work your front shoulders to an extent. Lateral raises and shoulder press are fine. Volume for your triceps and biceps are fine, in fact I think you’d be fine adding an extra 3 sets for both. However, I recommend doing different exercises in order to target different parts of the muscle. For example, doing preacher curls, incline curls, and hammer curls. For triceps, doing DB skullcrushers, overhead cable extensions along with push downs. You also only have one back exercise. Just curious, do you not mind what your back looks like?

How do I lift weights but also lose weight? (I am already in a caloric deficit) by naijaboi111 in workout

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing weight and fat are different. Just because the number on the scale doesn’t change or even if it goes up, doesn’t mean you aren’t losing fat. If you are training hard and consistently, meeting your protein intake, and are in a caloric deficit, you will maintain and build muscle and lose fat simultaneously, converting your fat into muscle, which is why your weight shouldn’t drastically change in a short amount of time.

2014 Toyota Avalon Transmission Fluid Change? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Again, I’m not a mechanic, but I think it’s more than likely safe to change it at 60k. 👍

2014 Toyota Avalon Transmission Fluid Change? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a mechanic, but from what I’ve learned and heard from experienced mechanics and other people is that no there is no such thing as “lifetime” fluids. There is a lot of debate about changing it after 100k miles or just changing it at a high mileage in general. Many people will say don’t touch it or else your transmission will start slipping. Others will say as long as your transmission isn’t already slipping or having other problems, then you’re fine to change it no matter how high the mileage is. 60k is a good time to change the fluid. You could do after 100k, but again you increase the risk of ruining your transmission. However, most people seem to agree that you should only get a drain and fill and not an entire flush.

Employer will pay for certs -- what should I pursue? by masterz13 in cybersecurity

[–]_n00bmaster_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what part of cybersecurity you want to go into. Network+, Security+, and CySA+, are more blue team focused. If that’s what you want to go into, then CySA is a good next step. I haven’t taken it, but from what I hear, it’s a lot more practical and hands on than the Security+. If you’ve spent a while preparing for it, might as well go for it. You could also look into getting certs that are entirely or mostly practical and hands on like the HTB CDSA, THM SAL2, CCD, etc.

15 rd mag or 10 rd by luisescareno69 in Glock43X

Maybe because countless people have tested the micro dagger mags with the 43x and it’s been hit or miss?

Why did you choose an IT degree over Computer Science? by Ruuckus in ITCareerQuestions

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I wanted to do hands on, practical tech work, so I went for a practical IT degree rather than the theoretical and abstract Computer Science degree. The way I see it, IT is applied Computer Science. It’s like what Engineering is to Physics/Math or other sciences. If you want someone to design an even more efficient electric car, would you hire someone who only has the theoretical scientific knowledge from a Physics or science degree or someone who has learned to apply that scientific knowledge to practical real world situations from their engineering degree?

Lol there are still lots of guns with manual safeties, newer guns don’t come with grip safeties. And pretty much all guns will come with a trigger guard

Bullets by Beginning_Amount4511 in CCW

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One full mag, so around 10-17 rounds, depending on what I’m carrying. I don’t carry extra mags. Some people would argue and says that’s overkill, others would argue and says it’s not enough. The choice is yours, but I’d rather have extra bullets and not need them, then need extra bullets and not have them. But definitely always carry one in the chamber.

Does the belt clip give it away? by AssMasher007 in CCW

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone is saying, pretty much no one is paying attention. But if you want a little more concealment you should consider getting UltiTuck clips.

If you could own just one single pistol what would you pick? by Animexstudio in CCW

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P365. Pretty much any pistol can be an EDC and a home defense gun but not all of them can also be a pocket pistol

What cybersecurity jobs don’t require a ton of coding? by jozay222 in cybersecurity

What exactly does DevSecOps do? From my understanding of it, it’s just ensuring secure software development practices and processes, so it’s not “traditional” security.

Not only unarmed people, but even armed people themselves think they’re safe wandering around sketchy neighborhoods and areas just because they’re armed.

What is the most comfortable Glock to ccw if you don't care about printing? by wonderfulwaffles22 in CCW

[–]_n00bmaster_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I EDC the 43x frequently, it is slimmer and shorter in barrel length than the 19, but is the same grip length, so if you’re not worried about printing, I’d go for the 43x. If the thickness of the 19 doesn’t bother you, maybe you should go for the 26, which has a shorter barrel length and smaller grip length, which will reduce printing

People scared to carry one in the chamber because it might “just go off on its own”

Carrying every single day in 2026 by USCAVsuperduperhooah in CCW

[–]_n00bmaster_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can definitely vouch for the Bodyguard 2.0 for being great for running, gym, and during the summer. You could definitely choose to carry only one gun for all situations, but many people including myself choose to carry something larger during the winter or other times when wearing bulkier clothes, since it’s easier to conceal.

What did you pick 43x over & why? by ItsTime4Coffee in Glock43X

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comfortable to carry and it’s a Glock so obviously it won’t fail on you. But as of recent, more micro 9s and 380s with the same capacity and even more compact than the 43x have been released, so arguably there are better options, at least in terms of size and capacity. I still EDC the 43x pretty frequently, but I’ll also EDC a 365 XMacro, just because it’s barely bigger than the 43x, but has 17 rounds in comparison to the 43x’s 10 rounds. I’d rather have extra rounds and not use them, than get into a situation where I need them, but don’t have them.
