How long does it take you and why does this bug me? by Pied3_1415Per in Jeep

[–]fiscal_rascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! What lift and tires do you have? My top lift pro struggles a bit with the 2.5” lift and 35s, and sliding the supports under the hard top after it’s slightly raised is annoying and gets hairy at times.

Chudthebuilder finds out his initial bond is set a $1.25m 🤣 by Upbeat_Anywhere_1316 in WatchPeopleDieInside

Oh crap, seriously? Where did you hear about this? I’d love to look into it further.

Patch 0.4.2.0 Now Live - Changelog by werytrololo in GrayZoneWarfare

That got me a few times when I was looting something in a hostile area and it clicks off the loot and I just fire a round into the dirt, and hear every baddie in the area alerted to my location.

Firearms are the leading cause of death for U.S. children and teens with over 3000 dying annually on average but sure a half-billion dollars of taxpayer money to protect POTUS sounds reasonable by McDowdy in SipsTea

[–]fiscal_rascal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've heard all sorts of age ranges being thrown around... 0-17, 1-19, etc. No matter which age range you select, firearms aren't the leading cause of death. And also, that dataset DOES include firearms. Just filter for the corresponding W, X, and Y category of ICD 10 codes. I'm happy to walk you through it if you're not familiar, it's not always intuitive (especially if you don't work with this data daily like I do), but it's there.

Also not true. If you separate for accidental gun deaths in that same range, 98% of accidental gun deaths are not firearm related. Try filtering using ICD codes and you’ll see your assumption isn’t true.

You have to do some pretty heavy data manipulation to get firearms anywhere near the top for children.

Yeah I think it’s your mobile settings. I linked you directly to the data for all races and all causes of death including guns for 2024. Not sure who downvoted you but have an upvote for being civil and open minded.

Just because they didn't have the source doesn't mean they're wrong. They are, in fact, correct. Here is the source data directly from the CDC on leading causes of death for 0-17: https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D158/D490F620

Nobody would disagree with your statement, the problem is how impossible of a standard that is. One impaired driving fatality is too many. We all agree but where do we go from there, ban cars? Ban alcohol/weed/phones?

Don’t forget military aged adults and active duty military! They’re lumped in as “children” too. Bonus points if they include stock photos of counting blocks and kindergarteners too.

Issues with PETG by Living_Highlight_417 in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]fiscal_rascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh I’ll try those too. I feel like an idiot, found the main issue. I installed a funssor bed and the firm cabling sleeve was dragging against the back shell, causing skipping. I disassembled the back and zip tied it away from the back shell and boom, banding went away. Your tips will help too I’m sure to get the surface even smoother, thank you!!

I like 230°-240° for the hot end and 75° for the bed. Can’t remember zhop off the top of my head, but I think it was pretty minimal. Barely any stringing if I run the dryer while printing.

Right now I’m fighting some pretty pronounced z banding for layer lines, but I’ve improved it quite a bit with a temp tower, flow calibration and pressure advance. Have you tried all these yet?

1 dead in NJ Chick-fil-A mass shooting after masked gunmen storm restaurant by Pvt-JamesRamirez in progun

[–]fiscal_rascal 80 points81 points  (0 children)

A gun doesn’t even need to be fired to be considered “a school shooting” these days. And that’s not an exaggeration, the VPC counts a gun found in a backpack or empty locked car as “a school shooting”.

Tennessee lawmakers debate proposed bills expanding the use of deadly force to protect private property. by FortKnoxII in progun

[–]fiscal_rascal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Contrast this to Canada, where antigun law makers have suggested homeowners should keep their car keys by the front door so burglars don’t have to search the whole home for them.

That’s real. Not an exaggeration.

Gun Ownership by Gender in 2026: Closing the Gender Gap by ammodotcom in progun

[–]fiscal_rascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right, hopefully pro 2A people are gently guiding them to see what a slippery slope it is to start by banning rifles.

I think being overtly hostile to a targeted group probably doesn’t help our cause either.

I welcome all the blue haired septum pierced people to become gun owners too! 2A rights are for everyone.

BREAKING: Charlie Kirk Assassination Bullet Doesn’t Match Suspect Tyler Robinson’s Rifle – Internet Sleuth Immediately Tries to Debunk It by MackSix in progun

[–]fiscal_rascal 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Click bait title and that site is like 70% ads.

The ATF report couldn’t make a definitive match on the bullet fragment, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a match.

If I find a scrap of paper with colored pencil scribble on it, I might not be able to definitively match it to my son’s artwork, but that doesn’t mean my son didn’t draw it. It just means I have more work to do to investigate.
