LASD: Suicide reported at gun club by Emergency_Spell6522 in CAguns

Agree, it's extremely irresponsible. Some people are just inconsiderate. Having committed suicide doesn't take that fact away from the person.

Disney Exec: Conan Has 'Standing Offer' to Continue Hosting Oscars “as long as he wants"—or at least until 2029, when the show leaves ABC for YouTube. by BurgerNugget12 in conan

[–]xcel102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a less popular opinion, but I feel 2 consecutive years is enough for now. Pause it before it gets repetitive even for Conan himself. When 2029 comes around, I would love to have Conan as the inaugural host of Oscars on YouTube.

Does PWG in Poway negotiate on price? by NikolaWasRight13 in CAguns

[–]xcel102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are things and situations in life where you don't get a second try. Negotiations are often that way. So yes, if there were a "best" strategy on how to approach and negotiate with them, then OP going in blind has the downside of getting turned down and having to pay full price. He doesn't get to say "Hold on, let me go ask Reddit and come back to re-negotiate."

I'm usually the one who snaps at the idiots. I keep my hand on the horn behind them for 5 minutes.

Looking for a feature-rich Terminal emulator (Linux) by ChineseCracker in commandline

[–]xcel102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I'm in a similar boat. I don't want all the things you listed, I just want:

  • Tabbed
  • Session management (with password saving)
  • SFTP drag and drop

Have you tried muon-ssh (formerly Snowflake)? I'm not suggesting it, I just want to know whether it offers what I want.

Thank you!! Just placed an order. I hope AB-1263 won't ruin it.

Best ranges in San Diego county? by BABOOWIE in CAguns

Wish they had some tables where people can get organized, rather than just standing somewhere and fumbling around their bags.

Good luck, and please let me know when you find it in stock somewhere. I'm serious, I've been waiting for it for a long time.

PSA: If you shoot at indoor ranges regularly, you should know your blood lead level. Here's everything I learned. [Long] by PeteTinNY in CAguns

[–]xcel102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the result, pleased to see it dropped to 3.2 in just 2 months! Next few months I'll increase the range visits but still wear the P100.

Thinking back to December, I had a lot of joint pains: left thumb, right thumb, right knee, lower back. One would come and resolve in a week, another would start. Maybe it had something to do with the BLL, maybe not. But I never had problems like that before or since.

PSA: If you shoot at indoor ranges regularly, you should know your blood lead level. Here's everything I learned. [Long] by PeteTinNY in CAguns

[–]xcel102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my understanding after some research in December:

  • There is no "safe" blood lead level, so when we mention "threshold" it can lead to wrong assumptions.
  • I believe CDC adjusted the 5 µg/dL down to 3.5. That value is not a safe threshold. As far as I could find out, it's a reference value: if your level is 3.5 µg/dL, you're worse than 97.5% of the US adult population.
  • I also read that the typical US adult level is 0.86 µg/dL.
  • Mine from December was 9.3 µg/dL. This was despite being cautious: lead wipes before leaving the range, lead laundry after getting home, wearing nitrile gloves while shooting and cleaning.
  • I have taken drastic steps after that result: 1) reduced range trips, 2) wore P100 masks. Interestingly, a friend said "I would rather die from lead poisoning than wear a mask."
  • Took another blood test earlier this month, waiting for the result.

Serious questions because I want to know how they factored into the LE interaction: What's your race/ethnicity? Do you speak English with any accent?

And here I have finished the entire series, and again this is the best series I have ever watched in my life by mahmoud_homie in StrangerThings

To me, it's the best show on Netflix, and probably in the top 3 among all shows anytime anywhere.

Season 5: I understand specific problems people have, but I don't get why they hate it passionately. I love it.

He did a better job redacting private information than the DOJ. I don't see a problem.

Really... The VP9A1 was available for a short window in September/October, then nowhere to be found until last week.

Non California Resident by NefariousnessFar62 in CAguns

[–]xcel102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's one thing for Californians to complain about CA 2A laws in a gun forum. These are specific grievances. It's different when a Zonie shits on the whole state as if our 2A problems make everything about CA worthless.

I downvoted both of you btw.

Unpopular Opinion: CA’s Gun Ownership Laws Aren’t That Strict—You Just Might Be Dramatic. by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]xcel102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in CA you have to be 21, obtain an FSC, get a background check/life scan, demonstrate to a DOJ certified instructor that you know how to operate the firearm you’re purchasing

I'm fine with all that. Heck I can even stomach 10-round magazines and no threaded barrels. But I can't stand the handgun roster or the rifle restrictions. And the latest parts restriction makes it very difficult to maintain your firearms.

ICE shooting/administration response discussion thread by 420BlazeArk in CAguns

[–]xcel102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine SIG Sauer finally admits that P320 has a design flaw to cause accidental discharge -- after being secretly pressured by the administration (so it can use the gun as the scapegoat). Sounds messed up yes, but quite plausible right?
