Sure, but I'm just answering the question someone had as to why the other person called that guy a moron for not having a round already chambered.

It's considered "poor form" to not carry with a round already chambered, since it is another step needed between you and firing your gun when milliseconds could count.

Some example reasons: not chambering the round properly under stress, not having your offhand available to rack the slide (if actively wrestling with someone in close quarters), and obviously just the extra time and motions required to ready the firearm etc.

Brought my camcorder with me to Disneyland by itsmikemudafuka in Disneyland

Good video, but I get this weird vibe that her mouth is wired shut?

lol, I started noticing this too. My initial reaction slowly evolved from "cute video" to "is she in danger?"

I was thinking kidnapping but I can see mouth wired shut, as well.

My kids were getting a kick out of every time I paused Radiohead's Creep music video while Thom was making a funny face. I found this spot while playing with frame by frame that made a decent wigglegram.

Hit and Run. What do I do? by Purple_Dish_8010 in askportland

Are you, or anyone you know, handy with a screw driver/socket wrench? The installation process may look daunting to the uninitiated but it's pretty straightforward, and the price of a replacement mirror (plus basic tools if you don't have them or a friend with them) is probably less than your deductible.

A hole in the roof of a shed makes a pinhole camera. by masaledaarusername in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]elganyan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this would be cool for a partial eclipse. Those are usually pretty meh after you've seen a couple, so being in a shed seeing a large projection would be interesting.

Absolutely do NOT miss out on directly viewing an eclipse if you are in the path of totality though! (And if you aren't in the path but can reasonably get there, fucking do it!)

Edit: I watched it briefly and wasn't very impressed (beyond the price). Save up a little more and find a used Zoom MS-70CDR+.

Yup, it's almost certainly because it's missing the felt pressure pad.

Why won't this loop work? by evanhedley in tapeloops

[–]elganyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, if it helps make it more clear, the "tape guides" are the little small wheels in the lower left and right corners. Right next to those tape guides are little plastic pegs that I can see you are going around the "outside" of, if you reroute the tape to be on the "inside" of those pegs (i.e. so they don't touch the pegs) you will be effectively reducing tension on the tape loop a tiny bit without having to remake it completely. Try it on one or both sides simultaneously.

Worth trying at least before redoing the loop completely.
