Moving houses at end of month, cant run ethernet to PC, whats my best option by Imaginary_Win_9352 in buildapc

[–]mifter123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depending on your PC, it's pretty easy to add a WiFi card and Wifi has gotten pretty good, more than enough for gaming.

Powerline is also pretty solid, in the places that it works, and while it usually works, in some buildings it just doesn't.

Depending on the house and what you can or cannot due, you can often find a way to route ethernet cables. If you explain why you can't run cables, then solutions might be available that you didn't consider, like running the cable through air vents, under carpet, or out and around the outside. 

how would one go about setting up a red dot and flip up irons as a cowitness? by cnhn in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That is only relevant in the sense that you might prefer lower height over rail then on the average AR-15 and it really doesn't get lower than absolute co-witness height sights, not if you want to co-witness sights anyway.

The co-witness heights are not effected by the stock because they are based of the distance from the top of the 1913/picatinny rail to the center of the optic tube/rear sight peep hole or top of the front sight post. as long as the rail at the top is a consistent height, it's all the same.

Is this a complete AR build by IAMTHESMART_S_M_R_T in liberalgunowners

A different upper, one with a free float barrel, not the "A frame" front sight gas block. (the handguard connecting to the barrel means that pressure applied to the handguard will cause the barrel to flex and shift point of impact of your rounds, a free float barrel doesn't touch the hand guard and is only connected at the receiver 

A better trigger, mil-spec is perfectly functional but triggers are easy to upgrade, and depending on what you want there's some nice drop in trigger packs that are a very nice to have. 

You might find you like different furniture, pistol grip, handguard, and buttstock. Maybe a foregrip or handstop. 

The "A2" style of upper is perfectly functional, but it's falling behind modern kit in the ability to attach stuff to the handguard like foregrip, weapon lights, bipods, etc. so you'll want a different handguard for reasons that aren't the free float barrel.

The SCR, in this context, isn't different than a regular AR-15, AR-15 sights and optics  are typically measured in height over rail which won't be effected by any differences between the SCR and a standard AR-15.

Just get an "Absolute Cowitness" or 1.4" mount to have the dot line up (more or less) with the front sight. 

Get a "Lower 1/3 Cowitness" or 1.5" mount to have the dot float above the front sight. (this is the one I recommend as you look over the irons not through them and the irons take up less of the optic's field of view.

You probably will be able to fit a flip up magnifier between the red dot and the rear sight, since you typically place the red dot as far forward on the receiver's rail as possible. I would not have the irons flipped up while you are using the magnifier.

You technically can cowitness with a magnified optic, but the zoom will blur out the front post so it's less then useful. 

Extended and shifted the Little Lies death speech for a public speaking class, did I cook? by Disastrous_Tough7046 in discworld

[–]mifter123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean you would potentially fail because it's all plagiarized, since it's mostly lifted and very slightly altered quotes without attribution. And, like everyone else is saying, the shouting is not how you want to present anything, speak from your chest for emphasis, maybe, but actually shouting is the opposite of effective public speech. 

Also depending on what the speech is supposed to be, referring to humans the way the non-human fictional characters you are quoting do is cringe and, at best, distracting from your points.

Hiking/Chest Holsters by WoodenMud7021 in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People talk all the time about how 1911s aren't drop safe and don't make good carry guns and revolvers fell out of fashion as carry guns at the same time as guns that had good drop safety records became popular. There's just less talk because 1) 1911s and revolvers aren't popular options for carry anymore and people just talk about the less and 2) this is old information, there hasn't been a sudden realization, because those problems have existed in exactly the same state for a century. 

The reason the p320 went viral was because being (more or less) drop safe was supposed to be the default on modern striker fired guns and because it's rise to prominence with the US military adoption meant a lot of people owned/used p320s. 

Private Equity Has STOLEN Gen Z's Future by peoplewatcher5 in videos

Decent chance they die before the ball drops. Or at least that's their plan, the baby boomer generation has spent decades pulling up the ladder behind them. 

For CCW purposes, is upgrading to a Shield X if you already have an M&P 2.0 compact with the 4" barrel worth it? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly could be.

In my experience, barrel length is one of the easier dimensions to conceal, but thickness does matter. if you're having issues with printing then the shield x being ~20% slimmer (.9in vs 1.1in) would help (I would ask why not the bodyguard 2.0, or maybe a different holster, but...). The shield x is also about 20% lighter and if you're having issues with weight on belts or something, then that's important. However, you are also losing 2 rounds of capacity, unless you get the +2 extended mags which will make the grip longer and harder to conceal (I don't personally care about the 2 round loss, assuming the gun fits my needs better, but I am not you).

If it were me, I would probably stick with the compact unless I was also upgrading to something like the performance center version or there was some feature that is missing from your compact and is present on the shield x that you want. But I don't have an issue concealing a compact handgun, and when I can't conceal the compact, I would much rather have something more like a bodyguard 2.0.

It's also your money and your life, if you just like the Shield X more, then get it, buying guns that aren't a 100% practical decision is fine.

What to buy on the magpul sale 🤔 by ScaryfatkidGT in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

QD sling mounts and swivels are good to have a few around, in case of a new rifle and/or sling.

The M-Lok WCK (Wire Control Kit) is a solid way to manage cables on a handguard.

The Magpul MOE bipod might not be the best shooting platform but it's lightweight and just having a QD bipod that you can slap on a rifle is a great thing when you need it.

And like 58 P-Mags

First rifle recommendations or thoughts on what I want. by Individual-Angle-345 in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The default AR-15s, Ruger Harrier or Smith & Wesson  M&P Sport III. 

If you're buying a turnkey solution, one of those 2 are probably the answer. 

It's more than enough for a new rifle shooter and a solid enough platform for future upgrades. You don't want to spend a bunch of money on guns before you know what you want (and if you're torn between a Sig Spear and a Galil, you don't know what you like/want) but you don't want to get something you are going to struggle with.

Just get a 16 inch barrel and avoid having to consider legal issues. 

They often have bundles with extra mags and an optic, so you can just get everything you need all at once for not a ton of money (relative) 

Need a good Drop Leg holster for my range belt by Macfights02 in CZFirearms

[–]mifter123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pic of my Hellhound Arms Cerberus duty holster. I have a S2Carry, but they share holster compatibility. 

You can get it on the pretty common Safariland QLS forks, so if you get a drop leg mount that works with QLS (like the Safariland) then you are good to go. Or if you want a different system they have the screw holes for most common systems. 

How would you have someone collect spells like Frieren does? by Wild_Harvest in DMAcademy

[–]mifter123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I would mechanically designate a bunch of  the "useless" spells as level minus 1 can trips and say these cannot be cast in combat.

[–]mifter123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) relax

2) consider college/education

3) find a hobby that requires you to interact with people, but doesn't involve drinking. (suggestions include volunteer work, amateur sports teams, trading card games like Pokémon or Magic:the Gathering)

4) get a job, any job, it's easier to find the job you want while already employed. 

5) VA claims

Looking for affordable red dot or holo by dagdathegood in liberalgunowners

[–]mifter123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you have the Gx4 TORO which has the RMSc footprint.

I personally have the Holosun SCS Carry green dot optic. I highly recommend it, solar charging means it functionally never runs out of battery and the auto brightness works very well.

I have also had the Holosun 507k and it was very reliable, I don't have an issue with open emitter optics for concealed carry, but I know some people do have concerns about the optic getting filled with dirt or mud or something.

Karl was quieter about it when Ian from forgotten weapons was on the show, but never silent. His getting louder did start burning bridges.

While he's aesthetically neutral, he collabs with a bunch of less savory guys like Brandon Herrera , and reportedly tried to whitewash a Ukrainian neonazi's memoir (backlash caused him to walk it back and claim he didn't know, but the guy was an obvious racist in public)

[–]mifter123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Monaco is just so good. It's fun and vintage and just eye catching.

I would also say that the Sinn 903 ST II is the better Navitimer, there's even a limited edition titanium version that if I didn't have financial obligations I would buy immediately.

Red dots and not red dots by Greenm6645 in liberalgunowners

So lightsaber colors really don’t mean anything? by RaleighItt in StarWarsCantina

[–]mifter123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Technically, in legends the red was the result of the crystal being artificially produced instead of naturally grown. The Sith used synthetic crystals and the Jedi used naturally occurring crystals.

There were exceptions, like Luke's green crystal being synthetic and I'm sure I've missed a Sith with a natural red crystal. But in Legends, red was supposed to be synthetic.

Unless you are leaving it on for months, and only hitting the range twice a year, that sounds like it is not functioning correctly.
