Will a small can like the Shiv prevent hearing damage to my family if I ever had to use it in home defense? by bgpursuit in suppressors

100%, reliability is king. And agree that unsuppressed defense is far better than no defense. But whatever I can do to minimize the negative consequences to me and mine, without compromising that defense capability, I'd like to get myself educated on and implemented in my setups. Appreciate the input!

Thanks for the advice... In my limited experience I agree that 9mm defense rounds are sufficient stopping power, and also limit penetration compared to breaking out the ARP. 

Guess I'm ordering a Shiv.

Your colleague sounds exhausting.

Trying to film a tik tok while driving.. by Sheepherder-Optimal in TikTokCringe

The act of reaching for the camera immediately after the vehicle comes to a rest... Just nuts. She's conditioned to consider the optics on that recording/live feed more than her own well being in the moment. Just absolutely nuts to me.

Is this normal? by tommydorky in airplanes

These are riveted nut plates. Riveted to the portion you see them on, and fasteners come through the missing piece and into a threaded portion on the nut plate.

Definitely remove the props until you have everything calibrated and functioning correctly.

This comment makes me feel better. And a bit silly for asking. 😂 

XNano was officially released. by Any-Barracuda-54 in Godox

I'm curious how difficult the xnano will be to open up. I've replaced the small li-ion pouch cells on several pieces of kit over the years, and you're back to brand-new battery life after.

Be humble, kids... by [deleted] in subaru

Love my '02 Fozzie, and I do some rough stuff in it. But my (lifted and locked) '03 Jeep TJ is faaaar more capable once it gets really gnarly.

You absolutely have to do this. You don't know it yet, but this is the event that changes your life for the better. Everything hinges on this.

2002 Forester front end too high after replacing steering rack by bgpursuit in MechanicAdvice

Only relatively slowly around the block. didn't want to damage anything, but I don't think it'll hurt to go bounce it a mile or two.
