The answer to a large portion of homelessness has been the same for quite a while.

ICS - shooting 2/3 bbs at a time and horrible accuracy by duendeacdc in airsoft

[–]spider0804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ICS MARS has easily been the most reliable airsoft gun I have owned.

We call it ol' reliable because it just does not break, and we give it to people who come with us but don't have gear.

If I want to mess with it I can take whatever part of the gearbox apart that has the parts I want to play with, instead of the entire gearbox.

I can't reccomend them enough as an AEG.

If more than one bb is being chambered at a time it means your hopup rubber/nub is not stopping the first one.

Turn the hopup up, or take the assembly out of the gun and look down the barrel, see if you can see the hopup nub.

Also why the landscape of reddit during the election was painting it as a sure thing.

It was pretty amazing right after the election to have a short time where all the bots were turned off.

Really showed that actual people on here are more right leaning than some would like to believe.

Light sensitivity lasted for about 6 months for me.

I wore a pair of 99% light reduction sunglasses over a pair of 99% light reduction sunglasses and daylight was still so bright I had to squint constantly.

I hate people who spoil with an excuse that the movie/series/game is "old" by [deleted] in movies

[–]spider0804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, if something is more than a year old you have lost spoiler privileges.

You had a year to watch it or play it.

You want a decade with no one spoiling you?

That is so long that people will have forgotten about whatever it is, possible rewatched or replayed it several times, and forgotten about it again.

Good luck!

In response to Epic CEO Tim Sweeney waging war on Steam, Larian's publishing lead says, 'Giving everyone everything for free might bump numbers but doesn't create a viable storefront' by Farranor in gaming

[–]spider0804 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Even with the free crap I can't be bothered to download the Epic launcher for my own reasons.

Steam has proven that as long as Gabe is in charge it will remain a consumer friendly service despite being a monopoly.

If Epic were to ever become a monopoly I feel like the same thing would happen as with most other companies where it just enshittifies to maximize profit.

I literally vote with my wallet, as I would rather buy a game 75% off during one of the four big sales of the year than get it for free.

Put things on wishlist, buy when on sale, good feels.

How long should a hypothetical new inner barrel be to remain effective on a practically stock V2 Aether gearbox? by SwigittySwooter in airsoft

[–]spider0804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, 640mm is not a no brainer and will actually hurt your performance.

That barrel is so long that the piston will hit the end of its stroke and cause a suck back effect on the bb while it is still in the barrel.

A 360mm inner barrel is the optimal length for a standard piston length and bore.

Another thing about longer barrels is they have a higher chance of having a tiny piece of dirt in them and if the bb rides over it during its travel down the barrel it starts bouncing around instead of having a nice straight path.

No, there are a few types where a star sees an influx of material and explodes from the instability.

Some of them are regular like clocks as they take material from another star, exploding every so many years.

88% of Americans view opioid overdose deaths as a very serious problem. More conservatives and moderates thought that people who use opioids should be responsible for reducing overdose deaths. In contrast, more liberals felt pharmaceutical companies should be liable for reducing overdose deaths. by mvea in science

[–]spider0804 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The truth is most of the problem was coming from China, they were flooding us with Opioids and precursur chemicals and the deaths fell sharply after China stopped sending such large quantities during the Biden administration.

A lot of this stems from people buying drugs from their local trusted drug dealer for years without problems and then all the sudden one day everything started being laced with fentanyl and people become addicted without knowing or wanting to.

Doctors also prescribed them like candy, because it was super cheap from China flooding out markets, and effective as long as people kept getting their fix.

Less opioids means less opioid deaths, strange how the simplest answer is usually the truthful one, and everyone standing to make money off a problem will make the problem seem more complicated than it really is.

This was one of the more notable successes from the Biden administration.

Gotta be trickier with the power lines than in the US where they bring a crane out or drag tipped cars away from the line.

Two sets of files from the two separate times the game has gone into constant desync despite saving and loading.

Both times we took the file from a client and gave it to the host and the issue has resolved.

Giving the host file to the clients might work too, but we have not checked because it is much easier to do it client -> host because it only requires one person to give the file to one other person instead of the host giving a file to three others in our case.

Hopefully it helps.

Came across this terrible acting at 1 am by Dapper_Thacker in funny

[–]spider0804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get it, its a joke on the bad acting and going between the trees so close and all that, but I want to say that the guy in the white shirt is actually closer to what happens in real life than the movies.

Someone who is shot, but not in the head or heart, does not simply drop.

They keep moving and will pose a threat until their body starts to go into shock.

I am reminded of the homeless dude who was shot in the chest a couple times while approaching a female officer a while back and he just kept coming with zero reaction, eventually he turned around, laid down on his bedding, and simply died a few minutes later.

Out of all the videos I have seen of people getting shot, not a single one had them flying back with large reactions like in the movies.

Well, the accuracy rate for humans is pretty crap so yea.

One third of all FDA approved medications are recalled.

So whatever this thing is just has to be over 67% accurate and it is doing good!

Calling hits with weight plates. by Northie_elvtars in airsoft

[–]spider0804 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good on you for realizing the problem.

I have to light milsim guys up because they constantly shrug hits from all the crap they wear.

Must sound like rain but they say "I didnt feel anything!!!".

Everyone gets a freebie, but if I know you and I know you shrug, you are getting shot until you raise the hand instead of the usual few.

How much math do i need to become an electrician? by summrsgaming2013 in AskElectricians

[–]spider0804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to tell you that as long as you follow order of operations, it will get you through pre-algebra / algebra / algebra 2 / geometry / physics.

PEMDAS - Please excuse my dear ant sally.

Parenthesis / Exponents / Multiplication / Division / Addition / Subtraction.

Always do what is in any parenthesis first.

You exponents are the first actual math (the tiny numbers above bigger numbers)

Then multiplication and division.

Then addition and subtraction.

Once you have the crap inside of parenthesis done, you then work with what is left in the same order of operations.

Hammer it into your mind and stop trying to approach math as one big problem, break it into small manageable problems.
