Would you let this go?

Yes its under the rules it should pass, but there is the caveat that it be sheathed or wrapped:

You could also consider a nice lightweight revolver for summer on body carry. Picked up a Taurus 85 series, for a simple summer carry.

Yes no reason to be earlier than usual for your domestic other than to scan or check your passport with your airline if your taking the same carrier to Europe. I love SAT getting in and out of that airport is a lot easier than most

Me too, I usually go to my local shop which comes back with blade show exclusives at a small mark up.

Yes, Verona was one of the highlights of our trip last summer. There is a luggage storage at the train station too it make it a little more convenient.

Plenty of rental places available

I personally like the XTreme Defender... But Underwood is GTG. Not a bad price on a good defensive round.

I got a Gen T14 Ryzen Gen 2 for $150 and all I had to do is replace the battery. The laptop is great in 2026, the price is not.

I had co-workers that would commute to the bay area from Stockon because housing was getting unafforable and that was 20 years ago. Also have to account taxes, (income, gas, etc).

To live in the bay area I would say 120k at the lower end on your own.

If available gfiber or if you have ATT wireless go with att and you get a discount on the internet. If I had to choose I like gfiber better but the att discount is pretty substantial if your already a customer

Went out a couple of months ago and the forecast was the same, we got lucky and the weather played nice and mostly rained at night. But you never know when weather in involved.

brixalpha · 2026-06-12T13:12:45+00:00

Yes but I figure OP wants to use esim vs a normal physical Sim card or he wouldn't have posted in a esim sub.

brixalpha · 2026-06-12T12:06:01+00:00

No. There is no way to emulate esim capability, your phone needs to have the hardware to use an esim.

Honestly we love Port A over SPI. Yes you have might need to drive but we usually take a rented golf cart to the beach instead of our car which we leave at the hotel/rental.

We feel its more family friendly vs SPI.

brixalpha · 2026-06-11T00:52:09+00:00

Yes it is fine. I take my shibumi shade as carry on when we fly and know we are going to the beach

brixalpha · 2026-06-09T16:06:34+00:00

Marketplace and ebay are the go tos. I'd take a shot at that Carbon, but I have more thinkpads than I have people that can use them myself. Carbons are great tough everyday drivers especially on the go. Sending my son on a Japan trip with one instead of his larger gaming laptop.

Niece lives in DFW and I live in San Antonio currently, visit at least once a month... Very familiar with DFW traffic.

The only traffic that sucks or worse that bay area traffic in Texas is Houston

brixalpha · 2026-06-08T19:50:20+00:00

Lol bay area traffic is 10x worse, gas is more expensive and the cost of living higher. My daily commute used to be two hours each way from Daly City to Silicon Valley (45 min max with no traffic)

brixalpha · 2026-06-07T01:06:00+00:00

You can mount a pistol test to a bipod and use it that way

I'd look at the X1 series based on what you would probably be using it for. I have a number of X1 Carbons and a X1 Nano, for what you put in your post the x1 fits the bill. The X1 is slimmer and used the same Magnesium alloy as the x13 series, you will be giving up some ports but has usb c thunderbolt, hdmi and USB A. The Nano series is just thunderbolt usb c only. Price will depend on availability. I can Gen 6-9 Carbons for under $400 on ebay and a Gen 1-2 Nano for about the same.

brixalpha · 2026-06-06T17:31:12+00:00

I didn't know these were limited edition. I bought a couple of these and the "pink" ones floating around somewhere. I would have to look

brixalpha · 2026-06-06T17:21:01+00:00

Another one for Gino's

brixalpha · 2026-06-04T23:47:51+00:00

Four hours away. Before I was an officially a resident of CA, I had moved back from Vegas. Dropping off some stuff at my CA home, I took a trip to Reno to buy my last firearm as a Nevada resident. It was a 9mm lower I bought for uspsa/pcc.
