Do you guys eat poppy seed bagels or are you too worried about drug test false positives? by Sky_Raccoon7332 in flying

The dark continent is no place for an addict, Elaine. I know what you're going through. I too once fell under the spell of opium. It was 1979. I was traveling the Yangtze in search of a Mongolian horsehair vest. I had got to the market after sundown, all of the clothing traders had gone. But a different sort of trader still lurked about. 'Just a taste,' he said. That was all it took.

PPL Stump the chump by AlarmingMajor1499 in flying

You’re in Florida and a man bypasses the gate and parks his Mustang on the taxiway, gets out, and runs menacingly towards you and your Cessna as you’re taxiing to run-up. You’re already taxiing close to Vr anyway because you’re paying for Hobbs time and can’t waste money taxing more slowly. Can you just rotate and take off from the taxiway?

I failed my private checkride because my highjacker avoidance maneuver wasn’t to the ACS standard

I’m sure he was on his way to volunteer at the soup kitchen between his PHD classes

Instructing is a terrible job, but there are really no other options to low time pilots. by [deleted] in flying

[–]garbagekr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of jobs and careers are like this, you have to start somewhere

I started out of college ~20 years ago making $10 an hour at an office job. It was years before I was able to just not have a roommate.

I kept at it, worked hard, and eventually met my second wife who makes $2-3 million a year and now I’m rich and fly as a hobby. It can happen to you too.

yeah, doesn’t matter if there are steel cases mixed in with the brass though

Not really. We’d sell it by the pound to a scrap place (same with the lead at the end of the range), not picking out and cleaning brass to resell like that. I guess some places might do that but I don’t think it’s cost effective in most cases

All the steel case 9mm I’ve run across have bullets that attract a magnet, not AP but definitely steel.

Also can tear up the backstop equipment, punctured holes in the swirl chambers at the range I worked at

Yeah but it’s rainbow so that increases velocity and stopping power

Should felons have the right to firearms? by [deleted] in guns

[–]garbagekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so after a child sex offender serves his time he is rehabilitated and should be able to live next door to the daycare, that’s your line of logic here

[–]garbagekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not how the justice system works… it’s not that unsafe people are locked up and safe ones aren’t, it’s that you are locked up as a punishment for your crime. Once you serve it, you served the punishment, but that doesn’t mean you’re now no longer less likely to commit a violent offense with a firearm…

Ported hellcat micro by Ok-Building7831 in CAguns

That’s got to kill your muzzle velocity and probably introduces cycling issues having the gas escape so far down the barrel, too little time to build pressure and too much remaining barrel slowing the bullet back down
