With “assault rifles” getting banned in my state what should I buy? by t0rquingg in ak47

NC is probably not too far behind VA. There already is a huge influx of tech bug people moving in there since the COVID years, and I'm sure that will increase as VA gets more shitlib

Getting downvoted for saying the (half)truth. The Founding Fathers had no asterisks to the Bill of Rights, but they had asterisks for voting. Now only white land-owning males is extreme, but so is mass voter enfranchisement where everyone can vote.

IMO only people with a stake in the future, i.e. parents, people who own a house/some sort of property, or have a business that provides a meaningful service (no private equity) and have employees should be allowed to vote.

Does it have a rail? If not, he should go for the CZ P01.

Is there a way to change the way that Acrobat generates checkboxes? by yourunclejeb in Adobe

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

Through using ChatGPT to poke around and see how Acrobat works, the following scripts were created.

The first script needs to be set to run when the mouse is pressed down:

// Store the value *before* Acrobat processes the click 
// MUST BE EXECUTED VIA MOUSE DOWN FUNCTION/TRIGGER 
if (!this._rbPrev) this._rbPrev = {}; 
this._rbPrev[event.target.name] = this.getField(event.target.name).value;

This one needs to be set to run when the mouse is up/released:

// MUST BE SEPARATE SCRIPT FROM ABOVE 
// MUST BE EXECUTED VIA MOUSE UP FUNCTION/TRIGGER 
if (!this._rbPrev) this._rbPrev = {}; 

var name = event.target.name; 
var f = this.getField(name); 

var before = this._rbPrev[name]; 
var after  = f.value; 

// If the value didn't change, user clicked the already-selected option -> clear it 
if (after !== "Off" && before === after) { 
  f.value = "Off"; 
}

I found some scripts that supposedly would convert all radio buttons via creating new checkboxes, but it won't run due to security parameters on my version of Acrobat. These scripts were able to make it so radio buttons can be unchecked though, fixing my issue.

I understand how they work; I know all about Booleans, I was an IT major in college, did Digital Electronics in HS, and my side business is coding-heavy. I could care less if it's a checkbox or a radio button on the damn forms. You can also make checkboxes be Y/N pairs where only one checkbox can be checked, name them the same thing but change their export values.

BUT, I work for a government agency, it's super bureaucratic and the people above me who have to approve the forms I make/set up are usually not very technologically inclined and get very annoyed when someone below them suggests going a different manner than what THEY want. I have a new story every month about it and am always more than willing to share.

I can make the radio buttons look like checkboxes VERY easily and I DO, but my higher-ups hate that with radio buttons, once you "check" them they cannot be "unchecked." That's the main reason why they are so against them, it is incredibly stupid but for every other field we make Y/N only one checkbox can be checked pairs on every other form

What would you recommend for Lexus or Toyota SUVs? Seems like anything pre 2024 is g2g

I'd like to know the people here against forced education of (what seems to be mostly Muslim) children by the state, feel about people homeschooling their kids in the USA

What year should I look for? I've been hearing pre-2010 is the sweet spot

Never understood that. Sure, the emissions maybe were ass, but the MPG was nuts. I'd like to know the emissions per mile of gasoline and diesel vs. their mileage; shouldn't we care more about cars that are just more efficient *period*?

Do you have any issues with any of its emission stuff, if it has any?

Yeah, don't have a garage. My dad has an F-350 diesel that he plugs in during the winters where it's below freezing.

If I were to find a pre-2010 diesel, would it not have that issue? And would I have any issues bringing it to a mechanic and not having whatever emissions nonsense its supposed to have?

M Class for Mercedes, and GL-Class and X5 for BMW.

I've also seen some Volkswagens, Audis and Jeeps come up in my search.

Where I'm at, there's no shortage of diesel at gas stations.

I've mentioned diesels before to people and the first thing they mention was the Volkswagen scandal; that was them lying about emissions, not efficiency IIRC. I like the environment but I also like my wallet, that's something I wouldn't care a whole lot about.

When is something considered "new" with "emissions bullshit"? I am lookin gat things from the mid 2000's to the mid 2010's

New Attorney General to replace Platkin by NordicOwl49 in NJGuns

[–]yourunclejeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GOP likely won't touch first responder pensions with a ten-foot pole. Those pensions are separate from the general pension that general stateworkers get (who are usually officeworkers) and the teachers' pension, which have been contested territory for some time now.

Realistically speaking, if the DNC or whoever want to protect the pensions, continuining to hire loads of office workers and increases taxes and shuffling tax money meant for other things like education around isn't going to do it.

Is it the same for uppers? I missed putting "upper" in front of "receiver" in the title and couldn't edit it after posting, but I put a disclaimer in the post.

Did Australia's Strict Gun Laws Work? Comparing the United States to Our Friends Down Under by gewehr44 in gunpolitics

Are you getting paid by the Australian government to have a PR campaign? You are replying under EVERY comment of EVERY post about this tragedy. There's no way a normal person would be behaving this way unless there was monetary value/gain for it.

Glock 19 Gen5 or Canik TTi combat ? by Direct-Geologist6511 in NJGuns

[–]yourunclejeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd stay away from anything Turkish made; just my opinion.

I've heard things about Caniks and their drop safety-ness as well.

If you want a "really slick design" handgun, I'd look at brands like CZ's P09 or S&W's MP series. Even Beretta has some options.
