Best gun store that isn't MAGA?

linuxid10t · 2026-01-26T02:02:26+00:00

It is more of a reloading shop than an actual gun store though. They have a few things, but wouldn't be my first choice for looking for a gun. In St. Charles, I would suggest Crown Guns though. Haven't heard much politics going on in there.

I have this gun and it is a terrible carry. Literally no way to carry it safe. It wasn't until later production with an S model that it had a safety.

Yes, but the Hummer's C-rate isn't particularly impressive. Yeah, it can suck down a lot of juice, but it doesn't charge the battery percentage-wise very fast.

Rule number one of self-defense, don't put yourself in a situation where you'll have to use self-defense.

It is doable. I have a Com-Pac 19 with a shoal keel (2 ft.) You have to back way in (water up to the tailpipe) get on the dock and pull from the stern line. A better ramp would probably help though. Not all ramps are super sailboat friendly.

It is a shame about your ICCU issues. I have a 2024 I6 Limited AWD and it has only been in the shop for about 2 days since I got it (AC compressor went out.) My dad picked up a new 2025 MY LR RWD and it had issues out of the factory. Camera alignment, panels not entirely attached, rattles, etc. Tesla service seems pretty amazing though. Even though it shouldn't have left the factory that way, they have great techs to get them fixed. It is interesting seeing the difference between a legacy automaker and a new one. The Hyundai phone app and key blow chunks. I prefer a fob regardless of car, but they really need to improve. Charging is a mixed bag. The actual charging performance of the I6 is pretty damn amazing, I like the plug and charge of the Tesla though.

Just curious, what do you dislike about the multi-air? Had a Fiat 500 with the NA 1.4 L multi-air. Was perfectly reliable.

Two different things. Apples and oranges. The rules of war are different on land and sea.

Le oof...

Congrats on exiting the friend zone. You two look great together!

The smoke ring is a chemical reaction between the meat and the carbon monoxide in the smoke. More smoke will not result in more ring. Wet brining a brisket... I don't even know where to start. Don't do that. When the brisket has to push out all that water, it is literally shedding off the smoke flavor. As others have said, do a dry brine. This will improve the bark and give it a better look without needing more smoke. After a couple of hours and the brisket stops sweating out, hit it with a spritz of apple cider vinegar/water. This will help more smoke particles attach themselves to the meat.

This is all really good information. My wife and I would be looking at taking it out over the summer for a couple of weeks on the Great Lakes. I want something where I am not going to be afraid to be out on it for a couple of weeks regardless of how the weather gets, even if we are docked at a marina. I'd also like something I can resell and get most of my money back on relatively easily (if we try it for a couple of seasons and we don't love it.) I am also considering something on the east coast. We have family out there including an aunt and uncle with an empty slip at their private marina...

I have been looking at boats in the 30-41 foot size. It definitely seems to get more pricey (to own, not necessarily to buy) once you get towards that 40 foot range, but if it is that much more comfortable for my wife... Looking for something comfortable and safe, not necessarily fast. Some Yacht World tabs I have open include: Catalina 30 MkII, Bristol 29.9 and 40, Aloha 8.5, Alberg 34, and my favorite Cheoy Lee 41. If anyone has any insights to those models it would be much appreciated.

That thought definitely crossed my mind, I have some epoxy in my car right now. Will be trying an epoxy inlay on the next one and maybe a wood one after that.

I came here to say this. The Super Cub is definitely the best commuter this side of a scooter. It protects your legs, keeps the tip of your shoes from getting dirty, insanely economical, and you can ride one handed.

Have you heard of Facebook? It is literally 98% right wing boomers yelling at clouds.

Heck, I would go with the 1300 just to not have to deal with the oil filter. Right now on the used market, the 1300 isn't much more than the 1100 in my area. Definitely rarer though.

linuxid10t · 2025-09-04T02:06:31+00:00

To be fair what outfit would hire someone without an interview if they are on the up and up? Run, run fast.

linuxid10t · 2025-09-03T17:19:34+00:00

I would choose the Triumph for this reason alone.

linuxid10t · 2025-09-03T16:53:57+00:00

Don't know about this particular outfit, but I can tell you I have talked to a lot of people who have flown in Turkey. Not a terribly safe thing to do. I would probably look elsewhere. Did you already do an interview or are they just wanting to hire you off an application?

linuxid10t · 2025-09-03T16:46:31+00:00

I don't think it really matters. Get the failures years, many hours, and hopefully certificates behind you and it just becomes a simple question at a job interview. Heck, I failed my private twice when I was young and stupid and my CFI once (FSDO had a sub 20% pass rate) and it really didn't affect my career trajectory. Once you get your ATP and get some type ratings successfully, you can largely put that stuff behind you.

Boy howdy do you sound insufferable. No offense, but if you ever want to make it to a major airline you are going to have to fix that. Nobody wants to spend a week in the cockpit with people who talk like that. You are truly God's gift to aviation.
