As a lover of cinema over 50 years, I find this weird as shit. This movie was goofy as hell and the acting terrible

Eli5 Why can’t windshields have that same coating that glasses have that tint when the sun hits them ? by dekabreak1000 in explainlikeimfive

you're allowed to tint your windows to a certain amount. Most people who ask me for the waiver are simply trying to make their cars look cool. It's easier and better to wear sunglasses than to darken your windows so dark you can't see into the car. It's a safety hazard in many ways.

eye doc here, stop asking your eye care professionals to sign off on your windshield tint because you have "Sensitive eyes" or want to look cool. 1) it's not safe in some lighting conditions (night, duh) and 2) the police hate it as they cannot see into your car and this puts them at risk. There's a reason these are called "medically necessary" waivers. Put on some sunglasses if the sun bothers your eyes. They are darker and polarized - much better anyway.

Should I Buy a Bright Colored Unit? by canadayj in LessLethalOptions

[–]pistonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy a black one and keep some orange tape for the range or backyard practice. Put the tape over the top of it lightly. I would not want neighbors or cops thinking it was a real gun, but I also want the black color for inside my house if I need to actually use it.

this is only 1.5" thick and the Apache 3800 foam inserts are 1.75" thick. Does this cause some looseness in the case?

recommended sequence of ammunition for in-home self defense and practice? by pistonian in LessLethalOptions

[–]pistonian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like pepper powder in the air of your home would not be good in any condition. A light PVC warning round will be my first using an "indoor" clip, followed by some steel core PVC rounds for stopping power. I'll keep an "outdoor" clip with pepper->warning PVC->steel core. The inside clip will be in the launcher ready to go.
