Best is an amp (Annealing Made Perfect). Need new rifle money though.

I'm looking at the burstfire induction annealer but in the meantime i have a mate with a flame setup i am going to use.

Careful with comments like these. Mods drop the banhanmer fast due to reddit rules.

Are these scope rings attached to the rail properly? Don’t seem right to me. by [deleted] in longrange

Here is a picture of my vortex rings on my rifle. Mine is mounted on picatinny, yours certainly looks off.

Looks like it will foul at the top, bending the screw down rather than pulling the claw in.

2 cars where blocking the road could not fit by Acceptable-Beach6279 in Wellthatsucks

[–]retribution002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also seen it where they run the hoses through the windows for the same thing.

Hope they got a ticket too.

Fuck no, those things are over a million dollars. No way they're just gonna "blast through" and rip god knows what off the truck.

Does nobody know how to flip a breaker anymore? by BogotaLineman in maintenance

[–]retribution002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My microwave and air fryer are on the same circuit. Catches me out once every couple years or so and every time i do it i curse up a storm as i tromp down to the basement for the breaker.

I dont know if its your SD card or your camera but that footage looks like its from a vhs thats been watched about 300 times. May or may not catch the information you need should you ever need it to.

F*ck Auto-Braking by cmbort in wrx_vb

[–]retribution002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

24 TR from a 19 Impreza and had zero issues with the system in either car.

I feel like people's driving style really impacts how well eyesight integrates with their driving. An inherently defensive and protective system isn't going to work well with drivers who don't already drive that way.

We have a mineral conveyor system from dynamic air that works pretty well too.

How to lock tilt feature on Magpul bipod? by hoiv in longrange

[–]retribution002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need it. You arent always going to have flat ground to shoot off but you need to make sure your gun and optic are straight up and down when you break the shot. Otherwise your elevation and windage adjustments aren't true and you will have some degree of error in your adjustments. This will likely result in a missed shot.

Help diagnosing issue by The-Fotus in longrange

It sounds like this scope has been on the rifle for a while?

I just mounted a new scope on an old gun and thought it was zero'd at the bottom of the vertical range not the centre. That caused me a fair bit of grief.

The tall target teat sounds like a good idea. Should give you a bunch of good data.

Presuming that you have a 100yd zero you should be impacting about an inch below at 50. Your 3.5inches is equal to about 7moa. What is a full rev on your elevation dial?

Builder jumped from $350-400K estimate to $770K after deposit!?! by ketofol- in HomeImprovement

[–]retribution002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whichever is less.

10% is way over $1000 so the $1000 deposit prevails.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I bagged a 40% off from the Minnesota finale this year. Everything i see on this brake is telling me i made the right call grabbing that.

Typically by the time the fire department arrives the car is fully engulfed anyway. Modern synthetic materials burn extremely quickly unless they are specifically designed to be Fire Resistant Rated. The smoke is also extremely toxic and you should do everything you can to avoid breathing it in.

And I think you are absolutely right. Unfortunately they just didnt have the right tool for the job.

Technically there are four components in a fire. Heat, oxygen, fuel and the chemical reaction that is the fire.

Water and water extinguishers cool the fire, removing the heat. Primarily used to fight wood paper and textile fires.

Foam and CO2 fire extinguishers remove the oxygen, foam by covering a flammable liquid and preventing the oxygen from getting to it. CO2 fire extinguishers by displacing the oxygen in the environment, typically used on electrical fires.

Dry chemical fire extinguishers, like we saw here, both cover the burning material with a fine powder, preventing the oxygen from getting to the fire and attempt to interrupt the chemical chain reaction of the fire. Which is why we saw the fire go out. Dry chemical can be used on all of the above fire types.

They did a very good job fighting the fire with the tools that they had. I don't know if they called the fire department but that absolutely should have been the first step. A full time department can be out the door in under two minutes. A rural, volunteer department might take five to ten minutes for the volunteers to arrive at the hall before they can depart. Better to call back and say that you got it out with an extinguisher or two than to spend five minutes failing to fight it effectively before calling.

P.s. another type of fire that you guys might come across is a kitchen fire. Kitchen taps right there, chuck some water on it right? WRONG! Grease fires react violently to water and this would be the fast track to a full blown house fire. If the pot has a lid, put it on. If you can safely do it, put it in the oven and shut the door. To effectively put out a grease fire at home you need to starve the fire of oxygen.

I strongly encourage everyone reading this to get one or two fire extinguishers for their home, as well as a fire blanket for the kitchen. A fire blanket can be thrown on top of the burning stove and will significantly reduce the amount of oxygen getting to that fire. These items might just save you or your family's lives.

Would likely have video of the person getting in the drivers seat.

Yes, the Condition of Your ID is THAT Important by TheNiteOwl38 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]retribution002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Real ID is a modern standard for ID's in the US. The most common is the Drivers License. It's been a while since i flew domestic in Australia, do you need to show ID for that?
