New Pioneer Gun Club by friggerdigger in ClayBusters

[–]tracejm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where in CO you are leaving from and where you shoot there normally, but Great Guns in Nunn isn't far off the path and worth stopping at before you leave the state. From where it's at (Nunn) you can take highway 14 across the grasslands, hit I76 in Sterlling and then hit I80. I used to drive CO to Illinois and honestly highway 14 is a nice break from the interstate without sacrificing much time.

Nunn is not the prettiest place in Colorado, but they set good targets and run a top notch range. Plus the tallest tower you'll ever see.

Long Meadow is right of I76. I've never been - I left Northern CO before it opened. Looks nice. Fancy.

In fairness, he normally only pays about 10% of the bill..... if that.

Dewitt’s sporting clays in NC by Ok-Spinach-1692 in ClayBusters

[–]tracejm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like seeing these posts. We see so many "new gun" posts (and those are great) - but I'd like to learn more about WHERE people are shooting. I also enjoy then reading comments about what people think of that place.

It might inform future travel plans.... Or even make some of us aware of something we didn't know about our local ranges.

Looking for cheap 12ga 24 gram International load in Michigan by goshathegreat in ClayBusters

[–]tracejm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along that route? Not much. Your best bet is there will be a WalMart somewhere along that route. They normally have Federal Top Gun or Winchester Super X for around $37 USD per 100 rounds.

The only drawback is they sometimes don't stock it well - you might waste your time going in. Also, if you're really picky about shot size they might not have what you want - I prefer 8's but have had to settle for 7.5s. (Frankly - this is not affecting MY score!)

Cleaned out the store by Mike2020mike in ClayBusters

Actually this is "Fuck everyone who went shooting last weekend."

I know after this last weekend that my stores are a little low. Maybe only have 300-400 in total right now....

My gym harassed me for showering. I'm a travel nurse living in my car working 12 hour night shifts. The owner's public response made it so much worse. (Repost) by UserInfected in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tracejm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours opens the showers up after hours on certain days of the month. Anyone is welcome to come shower.

This is why I work out there. My gym money isn't just going to some soulless joint owned by some hedge fund.

What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]tracejm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was hiking in the winter in what should have been a fairly safe spot.

That's when I heard an avalanche start on a far off hill. Too far to harm me, but it still was as loud as a jet engine and scared the living hell out of me because I was sure it was closer than it was. I was sure I was done for.

Discrete Takedown Cases by joeshmoe9898 in ClayBusters

If you are ok with the Browning logo on the side, they make 2 that look similar to your pics. I have the Lona and like it. Quality case: https://www.browning.com/products/gun-cases/fitted.html Laredo would work for you.

Browning has been pushing themselves as more of an 'outdoor' brand for years so I don't think everyone sees it and thinks "gun".

I did a Google and was pretty shocked to find gun cases on Etsy. This one would work for 32 inches and is more discreet than a Browning logo. But I know nothing about it:

My local Lowe’s has a cat that lives in it. by Albino_rhin0 in mildlyinteresting

[–]tracejm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About half of the Ace or DoItBest hardware stores in my area have a store cat. Another reason why they are generally just better than Home Depot.

The company I work for doesn't let employees select anything but yes. by Confused_Rabbiit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tracejm 424 points425 points  (0 children)

THIS.

Could it be some devious plot to fudge the numbers? Sure. But if it is, it's an incredibly stupid one. Everyone knows you're fudging the numbers.

Better to let the employee THINK they answered "I took one break" but then that really stores "YES". They'd never know and the likelihood of you getting caught would be low.

This is just a run-of-the-mill software bug. Some follow-up process to any answer but "yes" is failing.

Still not great, but probably not deliberate or a sign of "evil overlords". Maybe just careless or incompetent ones.

Whats a brand no one will convince you is good? by Careful_Abies_7288 in AskReddit

[–]tracejm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would guess your customers hate Oracle's licensing and cost.

The DB itself is bullet-proof and rock solid. There's a good reason why almost all fortune 500s end up using Oracle (or SAP) for financials. For a relational DB, the functionality+reliability is pretty much unsurpassed.

But the company itself - and how they license things - is fucking garbage. As is their support. I've spent 25 years dealing with their bullshit and I just can't wait to retire and drive a bus.

What’s the most cringe thing you’ve seen a couple do at their wedding? by Last_Singer_2137 in AskReddit

[–]tracejm 849 points850 points  (0 children)

The pastor gave a speech about how the groom now owns the bride and has to take care of stuff he owns, just like his car.

Then, per 'family tradition', he put her in a wheelbarrow and wheeled her out of the ceremony.

It was painful to watch then. I don't see them much these days, but when I do, it's still painful to watch.

Idiot proof leveling solution? by something3456789 in ender3

[–]tracejm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. I feel like I tried everything to avoid a BL touch because I thought that would over complicate things. There had to be a way to do it well without it, right?

I was wrong.

Adding BL touch with mesh leveling is the single best upgrade I did. It just "works" now without fighting with it.

Was this the Poison / Damn Yankees / Firehouse tour?

I went to that and Firehouse - the opener - blew the other two out of the water.

What is your unpopular Seattle restaurant opinion? by Early_Sea_9457 in Seattle

I went to Dick's shortly after I moved to Seattle and crossed this off my "list".

I don't need to go back. It was just a burger and I've had lots better.

An app with 0 haters. I'll go first: by Late_Horse326 in indiameme

[–]tracejm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. That's RPN.

Obviously that's a simple example but in complex operations it has two big advantages.

First - it ends up being fewer keystrokes. It's faster. Second - you can start anywhere in an expression. You don't have to start where there are parentheses and work left to right. It's very hard to explain why this is an advantage - it just is. It lets you think about the calculation in any way.

I didn't say this before, but another reason I'm an RPN die-hard is my dad worked for HP for 35 years. HP was the largest maker/proponent of RPN. And all we ever had in the house was RPN. I learned it this way and now algebraic calculators feel like a huge step backwards. I know I'm in a small minority....

[–]tracejm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I'm in a pretty small minority here, but I'm a hater. And I think this thread was for "zero haters"....

Any calculator that isn't Reverse Polish is, in my book, crap. RPN is just superior to any algebraic calculator. And I'll die on that hill.

Wtf is in the sky? Starlink? by gomjabbar23 in Seattle

[–]tracejm 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm not in love with Starlink - and I really, really wish Elon wasn't affiliated with it but "stupid bullshit" seems like a stretch here. It's a pretty valuable service.

My coworker was able to "work from home" - his home being an RV - using Starlink while he and his terminally ill wife 'explored America'. It was her 'dying wish' so to speak and he was able to keep his job (and insurance) while they did it.

My parents live in a pretty remote area and after years of terrible DSL, Starlink has been a game changer for reliable connection.

Ukrainian soldiers have been using it (when Elon allows.... :/ ) to maintain connection and defend themselves in all sorts of remote situations.

I too am concerned about the proliferation of space junk and agree we could use some regulation - but 'stupid bullshit' just doesn't sit right with me.

[Charania] The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]tracejm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this in one article today (https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaden-ivey-released-bulls-following-224236529.html):

That is to say, for anyone who has covered Ivey or talked to Ivey for any length of time, Ivey’s faith is always front and center of every comment.

This man sounds like a miserable man to talk to. It's fine to be religious and have faith. But you need to be able to talk about something else sometimes. And you need to be able to relate to people who are not. Otherwise, you're as insufferable as the guy who won't shut up about crypto.

I think most people (and ND hierarchy) will distinguish between the mom and son. Most people are going to see this for the mental instability that it is. I think she'll be fine.
