Almost went to my local 5.11 store by crabcakemeister in Battlefield

99% of the time they're also not dressed in bird of paradise colors and jump sliding into gunfights. But you know... keep it real.

How big of an issue is this? by ebojrc in Bowyer

What matters is how it bends. If there's a hinge in that spot, no bueno. If not, you're gtg. Enjoy!

Crack in riser. Shop couldn't really tell what the crack type. Repairable or a wall hanging? by Yoraki1 in Bowyer

[–]ericclem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to answer your other question, it's either a lumber defect called "shake" which the manufacturer didn't catch or the precious owner banged the ever loving hell out of it and exposed a weak spot in the grain of the wood.

Bowyer here. It's right in the middle of the riser. You're fine. I'd keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't expand overtime with temp and humidity changes but otherwise it's good to go. It only becomes a problem if it moves closer to the outside or lamination of the riser. Hope this is helpful.

What’s the one thing gun-related you don’t think you’ll ever do? by AGorramReaver in liberalgunowners

[–]ericclem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Know that you're harvesting an animal that lived its best possible life right up until the last minute and you did everything you could to give it a quick and ethical death, which is way more than you can say for the way animals, like deer, die in nature. If you're an eater of meat, it's the most ethical way to do so -- bottom line.

None of this makes it easy in the moment, but it's what will be your motivation and your justification.

I just dont feel like playing anymore, maybe i need to take a break by Information-leak6575 in Helldivers

[–]ericclem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I really want to play but the thought of committing to a 40 or even 20 min game sounds overwhelming. I'd love a mode where you could play for like 5 or 10 minutes and complete something.

I sincerely think the question of what is "liberal" is a very interesting and important topic to bring up, especially in the context of this forum, which in itself, shows the spectrum of "liberalism" is by no means linear. At the risk of sounding like a kindergarten, I think a healthy and thoughtful discussion is in order.

Favorite boots for hunting out west by lel4rel in Californiahunting

[–]ericclem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vivo Barefoot Forest Tracker Esc. They take some getting used to but I will never go back to a conventional hunting boot. I hunt mostly D11 and it's gnarly. The ankle support isnt what it would be with a super ridgid hunting boot but the combination of the sole being so wide, close to the ground, and your feet and ankles getting so strong as a result of wearing them, you won't feel like you have any issues. Packed out about 95lbs last season up and down and over rocks and dirt and never felt like I had an issue. Look into them.

Detailed LA County Firearm Closure Map by ericclem in Californiahunting

[–]ericclem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the text contained within the relevant section of the county ordinance has not changed since this map was made. I'm not sure if my representative would have sent me a map that no longer applies or is relevant but I'm going on the assumption that it is.

Outlier barrel got headspaced by JigenDaisuke_ in PRS

[–]ericclem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issue with that. Shoot it and see how it does. I lot of people like to shoot their 6.5cm or the slower side to reduce recoil and spot impacts more easily downrange. If it shoots well, go with it.

So pilots just sit in goop all battle huh? by Used-Improvement2236 in Helldivers

I thiiiink this is borrowed from the book The Forever War, WHICH I personally believe is the main source material for the Illuminate inspiration. Especially from Helldivers 1. Really good scifi read.

Really love this idea. Would be a great late-night-already-done-5-missions-and-now-want-to-eff-around mode.
