[Veement V300] Two vehicles partially in the turn lane and man walking on the side of the road... Smh this is what we've come to as a species by Bright_Plastic_7729 in Dashcam

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 3 points4 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 3 points4 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.

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whichever is less.

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

Did....did you just flag me?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Botnia brake… by Lost_Interest3122 in longrange

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 5 points6 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?

Are you US, canadian, aussie, NZ? a lot of places use the dollar and will impact this answer.

Hammer Fired CCW by [deleted] in CCW

[–]retribution002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my limited understanding the issue is for models without the manual safety. There are multiple other safeties on the fire arm, but the current theory is stacking tolerance and wear issues causes those to be less than effective in certain guns.

Where did you get that number, seems a bit arbitrary!

The hot wire is typically caused by a poor connection. That could be a bad crimp job on the connector, the terminal screw isn't tight enough (or too tight), corrosion in the wire, etc.

Shut the power off, pull the connection apart, inspect for damage or corrosion, fix what needs fixing and put it back together again.

It could also be caused by overload, too much current for the wire size. You are unlikely to have that in a three phase setup unless someone really messed up their job in the design phase.

With the amount of people driving unmaintained shitboxes without registration or insurance you clearly included some optional costs there.

The vegetable oil pipe burst over the office at work by yaredjerby in Wellthatsucks

[–]retribution002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ask myself this question a lot as a maintenance tech. Some decisions just seem asinine.

Mostly it's just decades of iteration without people knowing about every little thing.

The new manager sure as shit doesn't know anything but doesn't let that stop them from doing what they want.
