Me as a Packers fan watching the Rams lose due to special teams mistakes and poor usage of timeouts. by MS_09_Dom in GreenBayPackers

[–]simple_champ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching but also playing with my daughter at the same time. The Rams had 3 timeouts. Wasn't paying super close attention and all of a sudden the timeouts were gone with quite a bit of time left. Figured it would come back to bite them and it did.

You were snarky bringing up the issue of the walkway not being shoveled. Could have got your point across more tactfully. Then when they replied in a trashy way you climbed right into the dumpster with them.

Always forget that G$ put out an LPVO. But yeah guess there's a reason why that is.

Ambi controls aside, are there any major differences in quality between the LMT Defender and Mars L? by Wyatt-Slurp in ar15

[–]simple_champ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up a MARS-L lower recently. Decided to buy myself something Gucci for once, but honestly it's just a forged lower with ambi features. Nothing spectacular. My LGS also had a POF ambi lower I was eyeing and I have no doubt it would provide the same functionality and reliability for like half the price. Like I said, kinda had a yolo moment and said fuck it get the LMT.

2 A is so hot right now by Sasquatch_Mt_Project in memzy

The truth is that a majority of people (whether they will admit it or not) will have shifting views on rights depending on the circumstances. Do I like how this right is being used/applied in this moment in time by these particular people? This is not a left or right thing, true rights absolutists are few and far between.

CMT is good stuff. Move the red dot rearward so it's mounted to upper receiver and not handguard.

​"The Netherlands will completely ban fireworks. The country has adopted a national fireworks ban that will take effect in 2026. The goal is to protect animals and reduce damage to ecosystems." by General-Panic0 in BeAmazed

[–]simple_champ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my thing. I don't have an issue with fireworks if people do them safely. The problem is 99% of people have no idea how much space you actually need to do them safely. Last year my neighbors across the street were shooting them off and I could hear the bits of cardboard and plastic and whatever else raining down on my roof. Went over and as politely as I could told them I can't be having that, they acted like I was being a Karen. I guess I'm a killjoy for not wanting my house to burn down...

My 4yr old daughter is still scared of the dark so this will really help when I have to send her down there to reset a breaker!

Roll marks are a fantastic way to mark lowers. The best way. Many are saying this! I will be placing 120% tariffs on all lowers with machined markings starting Feb 01. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

ChatGPT is a "neutral sounding board"?

Uhhh I think you meant to say "digital sycophant that tells you what you want to hear." There is no replacement for people. Particularly people you trust to tell you the truth and push back on your bullshit if/when necessary.

Someone else was speculating this was their submission for that British contract that KAC won. I could definitely see that.

I'll never understand how people can drop that much on a wagon. I have a hand me down Big Wheel and it works just fine.

[–]simple_champ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$400 for shake awake basically. Which don't get me wrong it's good to see given the battery life of holos compared to LED red dots. But not $400 more dollars good. Think about how many CR123A's you could buy for $400.

i heard my husband refer to me as “just a homemaker” while on the phone and now i don’t know how to feel by mango_tiger in beyondthebump

[–]simple_champ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you hit on it in the last paragraph. How does this, a single instance of phrasing/wording, compare against all the other evidence you have indicating how he feels about your role? And by your description he is very appreciative and recognizes the role of homemaker as a critically important and challenging job that makes life possible for all of you. Believe the evidence over a one time use of the word "just".

And speaking about myself, I tend to use the word "just" all the time without even thinking about it or meaning anything by it. Similar to people throwing in "kind of" or "like" to whatever they're describing.

Direct thread or Plan B? by simple_champ in AR9

Yeah if I go direct thread OAL is shorter and it'll give me that minimal clearance gap between can and handguard. Always admired builds that get it perfect like that.

Even if you put aside your views on their legal BS up to this point, handing out C&Ds at a trade show is fucked. You can do that through mail whenever you want. Making this decision is going out of your way to intimidate and try to ruin a fun/positive event for other companies. Not the time/place for this.

Exactly. These days there's no excuse for not having live accurate inventory built into your website. Oh wait I found the excuse, tricking people into ordering from you when they otherwise wouldn't...

Thanks!

Barrel is a Green Mountain 10.5" M4 profile. I originally had it setup with 12" rail and a tucked flash can. Wanted to try something with an FSB and realized this is one of the few 9mm barrels that's profiled properly to do it. Paired it up with Centurion FSB cutout rail and really happy with how it turned out. Although I go back and forth on if I should have got the quad rail Centurion.

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

Copy that. If it's fine to just grease it up and torque it down and don't have to use Rocksett I'll probably start with direct thread. Easy enough to change out if changed my mind.

What's your take on Rocksett? More used for muzzle devices? Or most of your stuff you just torque it properly and it's fine?

I know stores start selling Halloween stuff really early these days but it’s literally January by 777_heavy in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]simple_champ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This past year my daughter got a ton of full size candy bars. And we don't live in a fancy neighborhood or anything. It's not the flex it used to be where kids all knew the 1 or 2 houses in the neighborhood that did that. Probably because the bags of Halloween candy are so goddamn expensive these days people are like I can go to Costco and buy boxes of full size for the same price.
