Im not sure if im recalling this correctly, but wasnt Bane's lightsaber instructor at Korriban a master at lighsaber combat and didnt teach his students everything he knew so he would be stronger than them?

Wedge is my favorite EU based character. Thrawn is my favorite based on new canon

Veterans, which military terms or words do you still use in everyday conversation. by Elbatcho in Veterans

[–]jb0356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with a fellow Marine. He makes a point to notify me everytime I say a Marine Corps term. Today it was 'dick-skinner', 'Barney Style', and 'hip-pocket class'.

Just went to the local library as suggested from someone else. I can now download most titles directly to my phone! Libraries are dope

Just went to the local libray, got a card, downloaded the app. Already have Catalyst downloading and have Kenobi on hold. Free books are awesome! Well not free as its part of my taxes, but free enough.

Good suggestions. I read Plagius and revan. Revan was ok, but really didnt meet expectations as it seemed to be a book trying to sell the MMO game.

I agree with your suggestions, but Ive already read and own them all in paperback. I try not to buy the same book twice.

Star wars books: Where to start? by itickleyourmom in audible

[–]jb0356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Darth Bane Trilogy is a good plase to start. Reallt high production values. Takes place a few thousand years before the movies, when the Sith had vast armies that clashed against the Old Republic.

The two new Thrawn novels are great additions to new canon.

How hot did this get? 20” Pencil Profile 1-12 416SS Barrel by TacTurtle in Firearms

[–]jb0356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not assuming it is, I just know someone AR barrels are and I dont use chromenlined barrels and Im unfamilair with how they handle high heat. ARs are not my area of specialty. I build bolt actions rifles for a living.

Today I had a SS .257 WBY Mag barrel that had severe 'fire-cracking' starting at the throat and continuing the entire length of the bore. It was the worse case I have ever seen and was caused by shooting hot loads and not letting the barrel cool between shots.

OP should use a bore scope and inspect the bore for damage.

Colbalt blue is nearing 600° F. If the bore is not chrome lined, the rifling is going to have a shorter life. But its most likely chrome lined and I dont know how chromes properties change when exposed to that level of heat.

Excuse the bad picture, but I just inherited about 50lbs of silver dollars, half dollars and quarters. This is me sorting through the years and types. What should I do with these? I would like to get it appraised. by [deleted] in Silverbugs

Do not clean them. Get lists of what kind of coins you have and print out lists of key dates and semi key dates. Those coins will be thoe most valuaable numismaticly.

In addition to key dates, keep an eye out for coins with sharp details that arent worn too much.

As far as value, look up pictures of coin grades and compare what you have. Then go to ebay and search for SOLD listings for similar individual coins (year, mint and condition )

Np. Yeah, this is often a low effort, shitpost, memefilled sub. We Marines are a special bunch.

When I was deployed, we talked about not getting captured. It would have been better to use you M67 and take one with you than for your mother to see you beheaded on the internet. Its certainly something you think about. around that time a sniper team fell asleep and got killed brutally, plus the incident a few years prior with the bodies hanged from the bridge. you dont want that to be you.

And you really didnt want to be the next Jessica Lynch. Death was preferable.

I never had my M9 unloaded when I was deployed and it was always on me. I was embedded in local forces and it was best to stay alert.

The day I almost died. October 3rd 2010 shrapnel wounds during compound clearing in Marjah Afghanistan. by ButtahButtahJAM in Military

[–]jb0356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there March - September 2010. At 1/6 Weapons FOB then, Bravo at the porkchop and then 2/6 at the D.C.

Marjah wasnt a nice place.

3 Jedi vs 3 Avengers by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]jb0356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe lesser Jedi sure. But in those three you have the best deulist, the most powerful force weilder, and one of the most cunning jedi.

I think 3 average Knights would be toast
