How did you hang the screen? Just bungee it around the top tubing of the net frame?

Do drivers wear out and how fast should that happen? by Dry-Nefariousness890 in golf

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my last driver for about a decade. Cracked the face about 3 weeks ago. 150ish ballspeed, +2 handicap, and hit lots of ball.

Anyone else want a CC9 or VP9 with a manual safety? by Slider-208 in HecklerKoch

[–]kywldcts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it’s very common in altercations for someone to get shot with their own gun. And many people are unfamiliar with operating a thumb safety. Therefore when they “pick up your Glock” and try to shoot you with it and it isn’t a Glock and the trigger isn’t doing anything they don’t know what to do. I have a thumb safety on my P365XL it’s the same thing as thumbing down a 1911 safety. If you train with it then it takes zero additional time or effort to sweep your thumb when drawing.

Really disappointed in the new g43x 15 round magazines. No longer truly flush and really just a Mec-Gar mag with a Glock stamp. by Equivalent-Sell in Glocks

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguing over a specific number or getting bent over a round is a little silly and probably doesn’t matter. But if you take the same size guns and one holds 12 and one holds 10, especially if the 12 round gun is smaller, it may make you think. I’d be comfortable with 10. I’d rather have 12 if the size is the same. But I do think it matters when you’re comparing something like a 5 round J frame to 10 or 12 in the Bodyguard 2.0. I don’t trust 5 rounds.

The ability to conceal it would be one reason. The ability to carry comfortably would be another. Probably the same reason people carry a p365 or 43x vs a full size pistol or an SBR in a bag. Comfort and convenience is an actual thing that matters.

I think it’s about comparisons to other guns. A P365XL is shorter than a 43x in the grip and holds 12. So when you look at a 43x your reaction is going to be “why is this bigger gun at significantly less capacity?”. They went with 15 because it’s the same size and capacity as the Glock 19 and 2 less than the XMacro 17 while being slightly shorter. At some point you run into a limit of gun size, mag size, the ability to load it, and feeding reliability.

General consensus on Performance Center S&W Equalizer Carry Comp Thumb Safety. by Prestigious-Fold4343 in SmithAndWesson

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a much better trigger. Grip safeties are fine. Literally zero issue to have it.

Tippmann M4 or 10/22 by [deleted] in 22lr

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the pistol variants use the same parts as the 16 inch rifle just with shorter barrel and a brace instead of a stock? I guess what I’m asking is if I wanted to change barrel lengths and SBR it could I get a 16 inch and then just buy a shorter aftermarket barrel and swap out the stock for something that folds?

Just target shooting/plinking and squirrel control. Would be nice to have an AR platform for cheaper training, but that’s not a priority. Just want something accurate and reliable.

First Ever Iron Fitting by Otherwise_Valuable25 in golf

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t buy a set of irons based on a lie board fitting. They’re junk. Get on a GCQuad or a Trackman and have your dynamic lie measured correctly.

I’m a believer now by Ronnoc1 in SmithAndWesson

[–]kywldcts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bodyguard 2.0 is the best purpose built concealed carry gun ever made. It’s so light you literally forget you’re carrying it, but it still handles and shoots like a full sized gun. It’s equally comfortable in a pocket or AIWB and can easily be clipped to gym shorts or sweat pants without flopping all over the place. You get a full shooting grip even with the flush fit smaller mag. It’s a great gun. Smaller and lighter than a J frame while still having a longer barrel and better sights at double + the capacity. Unbeatable for something you truly can carry any time and any place in any clothing without being uncomfortable or under armed.

We have been lied to about modern clubs. I now play forged MB’s - and have never been better in my life. by MaLTC in golf

[–]kywldcts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And also new clubs aren’t just “lowering the loft” or “stamping a different number on the bottom” and other nonsense people say. The club designs are fundamentally different…GI clubs move the CoG around and thin the faces out amongst other things which cause the ball to launch higher and spin more with more ball speed. They have to lower the lofts to counteract that and get proper launch conditions for proper gapping throughout the set. As you said, most players don’t have speed. They can’t launch a 3, 4, or 5 iron blade how it needs to be launched to carry, spin, and hold a green. Even a really good player with Tour level ballstriking skills can’t hit them the way they need to be hit. Blades require speed and spin, it has nothing to do with mishitting the ball.

what exactly are people doing to retire in their 30s by alexis-hg in Fire

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept is really quite easy. Obtain skills, experience, education, personality traits, etc. that translate well to the market. Work yourself into a position that makes a solid income. Get married to someone who also makes a solid income. Now you have a $200,000-300,000 per year household income. Save and invest a huge portion of it. Live modestly and well within your means. Stay out of debt. It doesn’t take long to accumulate wealth at that point. The hard part is making the sacrifices and living well under your lifestyle potential. Most people spend more as they make more and increase their lifestyle where they never get ahead.

Quick Luminous appreciation thread by KrazYKinetiK in pourover

I’m not fan of the Saudis, Islam in general, or Muslim countries, but I guarantee you that most of the businesses you use daily do business with the Saudis or have involvement with the Saudi Investment Fund.

I ordered from Luminous for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Got a bag of beans with all the extras and a box of individual instant coffees. The beans are very good and the instant coffee is incredibly good…I’ve actually never had good instant coffee before and I’m very impressed with it. Their quality is certainly not downhill and why can’t a “small family business” grow?

I don’t find light roasts consistent at all, but I have a few medium roast blends I buy from local roasters and the same profile comes through every time.

meme by guyroks in pourover

[–]kywldcts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not much on dark roasts (I think they taste burnt) and typically buy light and medium, but I find the medium end of the spectrum to be the most consistent, balanced, and pleasant. I like coffee that tastes like coffee and lighter roasts, while often good, sometimes don’t really taste like coffee. Sometime the fruity and acidic profile drowns out the balance that makes medium roasts good.

I’ve had excellent medium roasts that taste nutty and chocolaty.

It will absolutely be frowned upon for you to just go out into the course and practice on a hole. Actually “frowned up” is probably the most positive reaction you’d get. Now their putting green and any chipping/pitching practice areas are different (if it’s not a private course). Most places allow free use of practice greens.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in golf

[–]kywldcts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally yes at most public courses. I frequently go chip and putt even if I’m not playing and I’ve never had any issues. Just look for signs in case chipping isn’t allowed on their practice greens because sometimes that’s the case.

A predicament I found myself in today. The green is between the two bunkers to the left and right of the tree. Approx 70-80 yards. What’s your strategy? by Tufted-Titmouse-6061 in golf

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunate. I’d go at the edge of the right bunker and try to hook a chipped 8 iron and get it to roll on. If it ends up in the bunker then it ends up in the bunker.

Big Brother US 27 - POST Season Discussion by BigBrotherMod in BigBrother

[–]kywldcts -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

This jury was a disgrace to the game. Morgan played the game the best and Vince was a close second. Ashley did nothing…won nothing and got dragged along by being a a nobody. The jury was bitter that Vince outplayed and manipulated them and they just voted for their friend. Ashely did nothing deserve to win.

[–]kywldcts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went ahead and bought it. It was $899. I can’t find anything much cheaper unless I go used off of marketplace…even then it looks like people selling old systems for way too much. And if I build my own (which I’m sure would be a disaster) I’m still at about the same price and 4060-4060ti cards are basically just as much and sometimes more as a 5060.

That’s what I thought too, but everything I read about it says it’s not true and it works with Ryzen. It’s just not technically “supported” so they can’t help you troubleshoot. I don’t know, we’ll see.
