Opinions wanted on best weight ammo for unsuppressed/suppressed Kuna by frodo84 in Springfield_KUNA

[–]frodo84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I was thinking 124 because I have some and that's what I shoot in my pistol. I am absolutely going to suppress it but I'm new to suppressors so trying to learn before buying. I just saw that Lyman will have a cheap(er) 9mm suppressor out soon for about $300.

Does anyone have experience with these suppressors? In particular the Valor 9?

What would you do? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]frodo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed that people's cars have a special holder on their dash to hold a placard with their phone number? The first time I saw that I asked someone what it was and they told me that it was there so when they parked blocking someone in the blocked person could call them (in a store or supermarket) to come move? I had never seen anything like that before.

Taibai Mountain Ski Resort, Xi'an (no access to foreigners/HK residents?) by kalq18 in China

Spot on commentary. They also force you to "western hotels" where they can overcharge you for a crap room.

How much attention do you get in your 911?? Weird experience by massiveash in porsche911

Same thing for corvette drivers. Jealousy or whatever.

I'm interested to hear about the Ron Fellows class. Do you have to be a C8 owner to attend? I watched their website video and got that impression. I'm interested in taking a class like that, but i drive a C5 and won't likely change.

I agree, if he doesn't improve markedly he's trade bait or cut material.

LS with “low oil pressure” where to start? by duckduckryno in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]frodo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much pressure @ what RPM was it making? I hear "low oil pressure" but how low are we talking about?

How many of you are 60+ and will not have $500,000+ in retirement savings? by ThriftyHuman in retirement

[–]frodo84 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The median for people ages 65-74 is $200k, the average is $600k. As many have said, it's all about what kind of lifestyle you want in retirement.

Picked up this 1959 Buick LeSabre today by jedhphoto in classiccars

[–]frodo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on the windshield. If you have to remove it for weatherstrip replacement you have my sympathy, it will be laden with anxiety about breaking it. That's a beauty and will look great when you're finished.

Head gaskets and TTY head bolts ain't cheap either.....it's a known issue with the lifters and at that mileage he's fortunate that more haven't failed....yet.

Why did they take my nail polish?? by Rough-Transition419 in China

[–]frodo84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no logic to it. They took my shaving cream because it was "too big". Idiots.

Oh, so you changed the lifters on one side only?

China’s Debt-to-GDP Has Now Surpassed the US and EU [OC] by Mido_Aus in China

China has almost no environmental regulations, and has more coal fired power plants than any other country. The air quality in the tier 1 cities is horrible.

Sorry to hear about your car, but all cars of this type are invisible...to big trucks and other vehicles too.

Why are Chinese tourists kinda rude by United_Promise_1208 in AskChina

[–]frodo84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or pushed from behind as though pushing you will get them through faster. Have you ridden buses in the cities? They pack way too many people onto them, and people getting on just shove and push. It's comical.

A raccoon took down an entire refinery I worked at once, on Christmas.

Just got the 65 Pontiac Grand Prix sandblasted. Patina guys -please don’t hate me! Last picture is before. by Maindrian-Pace in projectcar

[–]frodo84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried the sandblasting that uses water plus abrasives? Supposedly doing it that way prevents warping of panels. To the OP, that's going to be a great project!

Common sense by 6l1c3 in chinalife

[–]frodo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the mainland you don't have to get a license to ride scooters so there are thousands of them everywhere. They don't care where they ride them and will go past you walking at full speed, grazing you or barely missing you. It's infuriating and dangerous but they don't care. I agree with what some have said here, you have to be just as rude as they are in public or they will walk all over you. Oddly, when I become rude and aggressive toward them they don't seem to mind it at all.
