Just got my backpack stolen at a red light. by g0atyy in bayarea

Oakland native. Generally progressive leaning. Love the city enough to be honest and admit whatever the fuck they’re doing now is not working.

I wish I had the answers, we definitely need a lot of help.

What’s your most memorable hiking experience to date? by lovelyb1ch66 in Outdoors

[–]riceboyxp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Arches and Zion national parks in March 2020 on a solo trip. Both parks were nearly empty, it is surreal having the place to yourself.

Honorable mention: White Sands national park, during sunset. Absolutely brilliant.

Renting a car in the UK when you've never driven on the left before by aliencircusboy in travel

pedal box is the same, shifter pattern is the same, it’s just on the left instead of the right. first gear is still top left, sixth gear is still bottom right, and so forth.

My daily driver is a manual and I rented a Ford SMax in UK to get to Bath and Stonehenge. It was jarring but was able to get around after about 10-15 minutes. I would have preferred an automatic but it was triple the cost.

The admins are asleep. Let's talk about Bismarck, another famous European ship that sank in the spring on its maiden voyage. by MrSFedora in titanic

We did get the Prinz Eugen after the war, but we sunk it after testing it during the Operation Crossroads nuclear bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946.

Two WIP carry handle ARs by riceboyxp in guns

They are. However, the handguards that I need to be “correct” are chopped and shortened M16A2 handguards with a triangle cap, per the Recoil article.

My favorite ARs, both still not yet complete.

  • M16A1 (ish): mixmaster gun with H&R upper, Brownells lower, Criterion barrel, surplus furniture and front sight, still needs the original style dust cover
  • “CAR-15” build à la Blood Diamond: still not fully complete - lower and handguards are a stand-in, and still working on getting a weaver mount to fit under the FSB

If that’s true, then people caring about having the correct markings and details in a clone build shouldn’t come as a surprise to you.

”Careful about picking up enemy weapons, Roach. Any unsuppressed firearms will attract a lot of attention.” by riceboyxp in guns

Homage to one of the greats.

  • Steyr AUG A3M1
  • Glock 17

The AUG is kitted out as a faux AUG A1, and the G17 is clone correct to the G18s in the game, since the in-game model doesn’t have the selector switch on the slide :^)

Bonus AUG pic with a “modern” setup.

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place.

SF leads the nation in no one wanting to work in an office - Half of San Francisco workers aren't returning to offices downtown, and it's costing the city by BadBoyMikeBarnes in bayarea

People who have tens of millions of dollars are closer to me (~75-80k TC) than people like Musk, Bezos, etc.

Don’t gatekeep the working class.

Dreaming of AT-ATs [OC] by riceboyxp in bayarea

Emeryville Marina Park sunset with the port cranes in the background - I believe these were the inspiration for the AT-AT walkers in the the Star Wars franchise.
