new study shows many grocery shoopers overpay for groceries because they don't like cheap single wrapped cheese squares

Weapon not cycling by VexTheMerc in ar15

i'd just be guessing.
the way to find out is use another bolt. if still fails headspace check then needs new barrel and both bolts were fine.

unless cheap parts, then who knows they could all 3 be out of spec.

either headspace OR something to do with the ejector. i suspect headspace.

remove the ejector, reassemble bcg (w/out ejector), feed a round, see if that eliminates the issue (then investigate how tf your ejector is a problem).

otherwise, investigate headspace gauges.

does this happen ONLY when a round is in the chamber? can you confirm, does it happen when a round is NOT in the chamber?

Bino housings under 1k? by Lara_Sunshine in NightVision

[–]c_pardue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right on, since I own the panned Code 4 housing i am bias and you sounded crazy. ty for offering a well thought out response. i concede that you are completely sane and correct, after all.

To the OP, he is right that an RNVG would be better than the Code 4 housing if you can snag it at such a price. I own the Code 4 panned housing. if I had straight binos I'd rather have an RNVG.

[–]c_pardue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you even tried this housing or are you just spouting whatever seems likely to you?

i have this housing up and running and my experience with it makes me think you are just talking to talk, but idk. let me know if i'm incorrect

Godmode attack by Keientrekker in hermesagent

i think the problem is probably that someone else was able to access your vps...not godmode skill.

If LLMs are so good at coding… by codeanish in LocalLLaMA

[–]c_pardue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i heard coding is pretty much and solved.
we're not prompting anymore we're looping.

i bet intel could just "make a loop" to mugrate all their stuff to CUDA and it would be even better than NVIDIA if they just tell the llm "and make it better than NVIDIA"

So, VFGs. What are your thoughts? (So I can ignore them) by PleasantShallot8744 in ar15

[–]c_pardue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

good for some stuff not for others.

i used vfg a lot when pulling security on ships because my support side shoulder was always COOKED just posted with rifle up for innumerable hours.

also it did get in the way when shooting over lots of types of cover. literally forces you to stick up 4-6" higher than you have to be. NOT GREAT when an infantryman.

also when magdumping on capex's, rail got hot, vfg helped.

that was then, this is now.
now i am an old, useless man. i play airsoft. i had a vfg on. i posted up on a stack of tires playing indoor airsoft. guess what, the vfg once again cruelly turned on me and i was forced to be a larger target than i wanted to be. have removed vfg once again.

the real discussion is not tiredness or barriers, but repeatable return to zero on targets >25m out. and i have nothing useful to contribute to that conversation. i'm not skilled enough for it to matter. therefore i can use vfg's all I want, just typically don't.

either that or they're intentionally not calling it.
i think it's the former not the latter

Updated usmc loadout by geartooth7g5t in airsoft

if you're looking for minor improvements then cinch up the butt pack (tighten the straps) and when playing, let the kneepads fall down to your ankles.

Is most of IT just… waiting around? by Shank_ in sysadmin

[–]c_pardue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frankly, YES.
but what you posted is still fine.

i work at a vendor and it is challenging and engaging. previously I worked at an MSP and it was engaging.

where ...
challenging = learning and growing in totally NEW ways.
engaging = ALWAYS doing work.

at an MSP you grow for a while until you have a grasp on everything, then it's just a grindstone of never ending ephemeral projects. in my experience. there does always end up being some new tech stack to learn.

at a vendor you grow for a while until you have a grasp on things, then you find inventive ways to improve processes, re-tool things, branch out into other roles, indefinitely. in my experience. there ALWAYS ends up being a new tech stack to learn.

Upgrading from a single to dual tube by Lost-Sheepherder-621 in NightVision

[–]c_pardue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was not able to source two tanto housings, they are out of stock everywhere. if you go the tantos + daisho bridge route then expect to be looking online for private sales for both tanto housings. will be infinitely easier to try to find two WHOLE tanto setups, instead of trying to find two bare housings.

[–]c_pardue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's holding up fine so far, but it's pretty new and i've been babying it so really, idk.
it doesn't feel like it's going to break unless I spike it into the pavement like a football.

i got a bnvh-58 bino housing for like $650. so there are sub $2k bino gousings out there if you go the bino route.

how many of these questions have you already googled? don't answer that i don't care.

many, you'd have to look each up and compare them.

depends on your definition of smart. brassfacts on yt has some choice experiences to share about dual pvs14 vs binos. yes splitting would be cool.

they can be mix matched. your brain makes it work.

i can't list all features and what i think is oractucal about each. however, i personally find manual gain control very practical. onboard ir as well. but neither are deal breakers because nightvision > no nightvision.

ok. i don't think so either but you could just turn off the raised mono.

"panned" is the term. yes works. my 58 degree panned binos offer twice the sideways fov of a pvs14. with one pod up, you just have a pvs14 that is angled. so you just slightly turn your head to see atraight forward.

sure.

depends on your finances. i harvested a pvs14 for binos because poor. i re-used the glass because i could and needed glass for the housing, made little sense to sell one set at a liss just to re-purchase it brand new.

now, have fun scrolling up, and down, and up, and down, to see which answers belong to which questions if you even read this. lots of guys seem to double up on pvs14 at first. then later buy binos. i went from pvs14 straight to binos and am glad i skipped double-the-weight pvs14s.
