I was hard after a 10mm Delta Cup, but gently caress me, the prices are out of control lately. I think Taurus had a 10 mm revolver at one point, I'd love to get one.

I'd like to have a bunch of ridiculous guns to shoot pieces of paper at a range just like I'd like to have a bunch of ridiculous cars to go screw around on a track. We need better laws concerning access to guns as much as we need better laws for drivers licensing.

I've almost got a basic schematic down for my Arduino ECU shield, its kinda along the lines of the RAMP boards for 3D printers, I gotta do some debugging though because I keep burning up the injector drivers.

Handguns are much more detrimental to society as a whole than they are good. I mean I guess it could be fine as long as they are even more tightly controlled than they currently are, but all of my experiences with guns come from living in and around Detroit. Most people do not live in bear country, and most people aren't going to be up a tree with a bow being poked at by a bear to justify handguns

Tusen Takk posted:Handguns Hey man, the vast majority of handguns kill nothing but paper if they're used at all. Maybe some animals. I know for a fact mine will never kill anything but paper, intruders, or me. I'd be surprised if something this effective at saving lives sees widespread bans in the US - they're already so restricted as it is. I hope I'm not around to see it. If you're deathly afraid of them, don't carry one. Odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that you'll never see the wrong end of one, and the odds of seeing the wrong end of a full-size 10mm handgun are absolutely astronomical. This is car related because 10mm 10mm every bolt on a Japanese car is 10mm.

Being attached by a 8ft ropevto a 4ft wide circle of pissed off flappy sea death that you just shot in the head is not a good thing. No matter how tasty they are in a pan. (me and a buddy were out spear fishing, he saw a big ray on the bottom, tried to spear it through the brain/spinal cord, missed horribly, got pulled around in circles by the ray trying to escape, finally it pulled the spear back through itself and took off.

Which is the greater good: thinning the deer herds, which may require you to protect yourself from wild animals, or, having handguns banned and saving a lot more lives every year Frankly I understand both sides of the argument and I didn't really mean to start LF'ing in here, but honestly in a solid 90% of Americans, they have no reason nor need for a handgun and in my experience the only people that have CCW's around here can't loving wait for some minority to make them uncomfortable so they have a reason to finally use that shiny thing hidden under their belt or whatever

Tusen Takk posted:Why does it require you to have a handgun instead of something like a shotgun? Tbh lots of bear hunters that hunt with a bow carry a large caliber handgun that's easily accessible as well, because if you have a wounded pissed off bear coming at you it's a lot faster to pull out a handgun than it is to get a shotgun strapped to your back or wherever ready to shoot.

Also, climbing a tree while juggling a shotgun AND a bow is a good way to drop both or fall out of the drat tree. Also, Tusken, out here in Iowa deer kill more people every year than handguns. By at least double, ~200 total firearms deaths of all types vs ~500 fatal automobile crashes due to deer. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Nov 12, 2015 |

When I'm walking around in the forest all day and up mountains and stuff I don't really want to lug around a big rear end shotgun on top of everything else. Handgun is light and out of the way. Where I hunt there are plenty of grizzly bears. I don't bow hunt though and just bring bear spray in addition to a rifle. If I did bow hunt I would want a big handgun along as well. Although if you are getting harassed by a big angry grizzly bear and bear spray doesn't work you are way better off having a 12 gauge with slugs over a handgun. By the time you figure out the bear spray isn't working you're probably getting mauled though. jamal fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Nov 12, 2015 |

If I'm in a tree with a bow and quiver full of arrows, and who knows what the gently caress else on a tiny little tree stand I'd sure as hell rather carry a handgun for protection from predators than a bulky rear end shotgun, gently caress that.

I'm thirty minutes from downtown Los Angeles (the most populated county in the US) and I see between 1-4 different bears alternating regularly in my yard, nearly every month for the last ten years ( including cubs ). The other night I walked my girlfriend out to her car and there was a big rear end bear eating avacados in the dark, less than twenty feet away... I hit it with my flashlight when I heard it and we walked slowly back to the house. I am used to it and love having them around, but you bet your butt I also like having something in my pocket for short after dark walks with the dog, or taking out a late trash bag full of meat scraps. They're very chill, predictable bears  but my dad surprised one by accident recently and it bluffed a short rush at him.

I hate my customers so much. "Yeah I want the medium special." "Sure, which one." "The medium" "The two for 6.99 each special?" "No!" "Ok... one medium. What do you want on it?" "The special!" There is no pizza called "the special". He ended up with a supreme, no idea what he was actually talking about.

Yeah, and the only reason it isn't worse is because we kill a few thousand a year. Game population control is a huge deal since we drove off all the predators so they wouldn't eat livestock.

Negromancer posted:I thought the venue/food was expensive but all the other poo poo is starting to really add up. $2500 for a loving DJ?!?!?! And that is the cheaper ones. DJs are expensive because anyone whose DJ'd a wedding knows how utterly soul destroying it is to play utter shite for hours on end. Repeatedly. Because no fucker has any taste in music and just wants the most generic shite possible. The problem with DJing weddings is it's very difficult to get excited about them because you're stuck in a room for hours on end playing poo poo music to a bunch of tanked up dickheads who just want to listen to trash. Think of the money as basically being payment for the DJ suffering for an evening as that's essentially what happens. You're essentially paying to aurally torture a person for an evening... I have a friend who used to do alternative wedding DJ stuff as in he'd mix EVERY SINGLE TRACK as opposed to being a lovely jukebox DJ letting a track fade out and then smashing the next one in, completely devoid of any musical talent. He has a musical background and his music collection is obscenely huge (and he's an award-winning DJ in the first place), he did unreal amounts of research as a professional DJ (as in one that plays clubs and such) to see what tracks work, what tracks get the best response, what tracks fit, what tracks trashed white bitches want to dance to... His track selection was always on point, spanning decades of stuff and none of it particularly obvious and looking at the cost up there you could've flown him in and put him up in a nice hotel for less than your dudes are charging. Thing is even though he never played your typical wedding fare he found working weddings horrible and it was all down to the guests being drunken arseholes. The thing about wedding DJs is they get hassled a lot by guests and as someone that's played out for the general public and found it annoying as gently caress, playing weddings is a whole different ballgame and I'd never do it, it's sheer hell. You can plan out an entire evening's music, tell the guests it's not a request thing and you'll still get bothered and shouted at because people + booze = the worst of humanity. ...and it's this reason why you pay out the arse for wedding DJs, because it's a thankless task. Sorry for ranting. *edit: I'm just remembering how much time he spent editing tracks just so they'd all flow better. loving hell, he was farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too cheap considering the effort he put in.
