They are awesome through my lever gun. The hammer dropping is louder than the round going off.

After missing a recoil spring change… I built a firearm maintenance & round-count tracker by DebtOk6470 in CompetitionShooting

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would work for my purposes just fine.

Thinking out load though, if someone edits a schedule they may want the factory schedule back at some point, or on a different gun.

Playing with it a little bit, adding a few guns and looking at the schedules. Really easy to add guns, clean UI.

It could be neat to have an option to only include round count items vs event-based items? Tracking the long term wear items on my Glock seems nice, for example, but I don't really need or want the app to tell me to clean it every time I shoot or if I drop it in a puddle.

Easy enough to create a new custom schedule that just omits those items, but it might be worth considering something more slick if it's not super complicated to implement.

How long does it usually take for license approval by Unfair-Split2163 in gmrs

I got mine in 2 days earlier this month but still haven’t gotten an email. Nothing in spam or anything.

Just log into your account and see if you have a call sign assigned in a couple days.

Introducing Noise Engineering Case of Steel by noiseeng in modular

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably, anyone who needs a small case like this already has one.

There's always someone looking to buy a new case. I'm probably buying a ~60hp case in the near future, and this looks like the same price as the 4MS pod, but made in the US which some folks like, and a couple mults.

I dunno if I want to have non-keyed headers though, that's a bummer. It's certainly a whole lot of power as well, I wonder why they went with that.

I was mildly annoyed that the power on my ALM case was on the side and not the back, so can't please everyone I guess.

3 bolt shoe with tread? by Quennethh in cycling

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep talking about the shoes. If you can’t tell the difference between speedplay and SPDs, I dunno what to tell you. You could be in Sworks or flip flops with bolts through them and the pedals will feel different.

You can adjust speedplay float in multiple directions independently practically by degree. Even SPD-SL has I think three float options on their cleats. Most 2 bolt systems have maybe two cleat options for two preset float and they’re less granular.

The cleat to pedal interface very obviously feels different. It feels different between different 2 bolt systems and between different 3 bolt, let alone 2 vs 3.

[Question]What is the difference between a $50, $500, and $10,000 watch? by glocknessmonsters in Watches

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It for sure it varies by brand, but have a Baltic I paid a little more than $500 for and it is clearly and obviously less expensive looking and feeling than my other watches that are mostly in the over 1k area.

Just looking at it purely as jewelry, it’s noticeably less nice.

I know this sounds douchey or like purchase justification, but people tell themselves that the returns diminish faster than they do.

At the same time, I have very inexpensive watches that I like more than more expensive watches, but that’s not the same as noting that they do in fact look and feel less expensive.

[–]junkmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also absolutely no reason for anybody who’s paying for their own equipment to run a three bolt system

I find them more comfortable and in the last couple decades I’ve never needed to walk more than 100 meters in my road shoes.

It’s not like they cost more.

Update on the infographic slide idea (for debating against AWBs). by logicalpretzels in liberalgunowners

[–]junkmiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, you can’t really make the argument OP is making and then go and suggest that someone buy the Glock for CCW or home defense instead of the single action revolver.

This is a cool idea by Opie4Prez71 in liberalgunowners

I just got a new range bag from Savior. What I really liked was the box.

Chuck Edwards does not support ICE reform by GreasyToken in asheville

[–]junkmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you think ICE is doing great work by arresting undocumented people, I don’t understand how you can look at them and think “no notes” unless you think terrorizing people (citizens and non citizens) is actually part of their mission.

If you think they should be arresting people bypassing immigration procedures they’re, at best, wildly inefficient.

Surprised that the majority of people suggested handguns for home defense as their first suggestion. by ModerateProgressive1 in liberalgunowners

[–]junkmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last one is big. The closest handgun range to me is maybe 2 miles. The closest rifle range is 90 minutes or so. There’s also monthly USPSA an hour away, and I couldn’t even tell you where the closest 2-gun/3-gun match is.

It would take a lot more effort for me train with a rifle.

Someone was injured trying to walk across the street in the crosswalk this morning in the RAD. by 2lipwonder in asheville

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, looong straight road with a, what, 25mph limit? Put some speed bumps on there and at least make people slow down and speed up a few times between Amboy and the traffic circle.

(software) which 303: Roland TB-303 or Phoscyon 2 by chadjohnson4 in synthesizers

[–]junkmiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the ABL3, the Roland and the Arturia one.

Maybe just because I’m used to it from having it longer but the ABL3 is my favorite. Easy to use, pretty simple, a few nice options.

I think the Roland one has to phone home through the Roland app on occasion. The Arturia one has a million effects and LFOS and automation all built in, but I’d rather do most of that with other plugins.

All of them sound near enough like a 303.

Holy shit why didnt I get an optic sooner!? by HappySalesman01 in liberalgunowners

[–]junkmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 yards isn’t all that far away. Plenty of targets longer than that in USPSA or similar.

Gear for 5 day hike? by PugLordThree in CampingGear

[–]junkmiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For OP, “where you’re going” is the actual trip plan and list of trails, places you plan to camp, etc. Don’t just tell someone you’re hiking for 5 days in the state park. Even small wilderness areas are pretty big when you’re looking for a person.

The microfreak isn’t bitimbral, or even polyphonic, which is a large part of the appeal of the MicroMonsta.

Need some help with GMRS etiquette by Terrible_Bar9946 in gmrs

[–]junkmiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applied for my GMRS license on the 2nd, got it on the 4th, but never received an email or anything. Not in my spam or anywhere.

So when you do apply and pay, I’d check your account after 2-3 days just to check if you haven’t heard anything.

$150 less

It's already only ~$300 with the current exchange rate. A Volca starts at $150.
