I’ll rely on the good old classic “hey lets go to X at Y time.” If X is large enough of an area then “we’ll meet up at Z (probably the snack bar knowing me.)”

I’m not there yet either lmao, also working on it!

I’ve just personally never been able to get used to the newer Walther’s grips. The ppk is fun for the neat factor at the range (also I’m a nerd) but as far as a carry pistol goes none of their “duty” lineup does it for me (or, I can’t do it with them lol. Either way.) CZ all day for me, trustworthy, good grip, can shoot well.

But that’s all just personal preference anyway, fully agree on the rest though! Second to last thing I want is a gunfight, the last thing would be what the fighting is intended to prevent lmao.

WEEEEELLLL that’s what Fdroid is for and my friends with android all already have fdroid because “youtube downloaders be there” is all I had to say.

They just like the google keyloggerboard.

And sometimes we will totally come back to that later, maybe, one day. And so it stays forever.

ADHD.

«Даму нахуй» haha

Oof on that Walther lol, go Glock or CZ! But yeah a new mag ain’t the fix for any of those.

Avg civilian encounter is 3s no reloads, but yeah it never hurts to be prepared!

Depends, if we’re in the jungles of vietnam? Sure, suppressive fire, still need to retain ammo yourself though.

In a self defense situation in an American city? Bad idea, you’re responsible for every round that leaves your barrel, if you hit a bystander while wildly winging shots at an attacker you’re fucked and will be going to prison. Unless you’re a cop, it would seem.

“Tap rack bang” (below copied from wikipedia, and I’m just as surprised as you are that they have an article on this.)

Tap, rack, bang (TRB) or tap, rack, and go (TRG) is jargon for the response to a failure to fire in a firearm with a removable magazine.[1] This is designated as an "Immediate Action" and involves no investigation of the cause (due to being under fire in a combat or defensive situation), but is effective for common failures, such as defective or improperly seated ammunition magazines.[2][3]

Tap – to tap the magazine. This is to ensure that the magazine is properly/completely inserted in the firearm so that it feeds properly. As typically taught in tactical firearms courses, the "tap" is applying pressure on the floor plate of the magazine to lock it into place. It does not constitute 'smacking' the magazine, as this can irreversibly damage the magazine's lip.[4]

Rack – pull back sharply and then quickly release the ~~cocking~~ charging handle/slide of the firearm.[5] This will eject a misfired round, which could be a possible cause of the stoppage, and to chamber the next round.

Bang/Go – aiming and firing the firearm again.[5] If the firearm again does not fire or fails to extract the spent round, it may indicate a more serious problem with the firearm, requiring maintenance. For instance, if the firing pin is too lightly striking the primer on a cartridge, it may indicate a worn-out spring or firing pin.
Some failures, such as a "stovepipe", require more complicated maintenance that requires investigation of the underlying problem, or remedial action.[2] With issues such as a squib load or hang fire, the "tap, rack, bang" procedure should not be used.[6][7]

And of course

if the firing pin is too lightly striking the primer on a cartridge, it may indicate a worn-out spring or firing pin. Some failures, such as a “stovepipe”, require more complicated maintenance that requires investigation of the underlying problem, or remedial action.[2] With issues such as a squib load or hang fire, the “tap, rack, bang” procedure should not be used.[6][7]

A second mag wouldn’t fix any of that, either, so adding one wouldn’t be a solution.

Finally if the problem is the mag (feed lips or worn spring), a tactical reload (removing the mag, retaining it, and swapping to a full one) would be the move if you can, or just lose the mag and insert a new one if you can’t.

The real solution to OP’s question though is “train reloads,” before you get into a gun fight. In a situation with high stress you want to have practiced it enough that it becomes muscle memory and you can do it without really thinking about it. You can train it in your bedroom without ammo no less, no excuse not to train reloads. If you’re really bad you can add an aftermarket magwell to many guns that make it easier to reload (at the cost of concealability).

Thanks for the links and the help!

Can you do infinite subaddrs or does that mean my wallet has to change every so often?

And if I’m understanding correctly, if I’m buying ETH or LTC kyc and then exchanging without kyc to XMR at a diff subaddr every time, and then sending it another hop as XMR to myself, I wouldn’t need to worry about varying the subaddrs on that one since those two XMR transactions are already obfuscated with 16² decoys, so I can rotate basically a new shell wallet every so often and keep my main?

Oh that’d (ATM) be perfect! Looking it up it seems the non-kyc exchanges these days (I remember hearing about Kraken back in the day, but) are Best Wallet and GhostSwap? Would you recommend one of those or another one idk about?

As for not reusing the subaddress, do you mean use a brand spanking new subaddr for GhostSwap every single time I exchange and never reuse it, but I can keep my second internal swapper addr and the third one I give to “customers” for transactions static?

Or do you mean use one for the exchange every time and ONLY for that, then swap it to an internal only I know, and have a third on my Mastodon for donations (ok I won’t actually be doing that prob, but I mean the one I send people for transactions) keeping them all consistent but separated?

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks! That link definitely helped a lot! Do you know if it matters what the wallets are named? Say I use my randomized one to exchange the ETH to first and then the second one is ArcaneSlimeXMR that I spend out of, can anyone see that name or is it just the receive address that anyone can see? It’d help me keep it organized instead of having to remember which wallet is which.

It also appears I can send it to another subkey within the same wallet (I think lol) according to the post you linked above, which might be easier.

Tbh I’m not surprised, I do think that SOA was forced to be inclusive, but they have been for years now and so they’re probably used to it.

Conversely Girl Scouts not only were never pressured to be inclusive, they’re actively shielded from having to be inclusive. You think they’re sexist when a girl wants to join you should see how they treat boys who want to join!

Also worth noting, the whole reasoning behind forcing the Boy Scouts to allow girls was “because the girl scouts sucks.”

Personally I think the correct answer was either:

A) Boy/Girl scouts merge, they’re both now Scouting America and everyone can join. Could even expand it to adults that missed out as kids and want to learn survival skills or want to hike and camp with other adults (separate units of course from the kids lmao, but I’ll shoehorn in a healthy “third place” for adults any chance I get). And keep selling the Girl Scout cookies but call them Scouting America cookies now.

B) Nothing. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts remain limited to their respective genders, and if “girl scouts sucks” then it is their responsibility to improve and make it not suck instead of forcing their way into the Boy Scouts. Leaves NB out to dry though, and could get weird if someone wants to transition but their Scout Credits don’t transfer with them.

But we got neither, instead we got “the boys do not deserve their own space but the girls do” which is a little weird to me (though entirely too common.)

I am glad however that you were able to go with the less toxic option, and I do still love Thin Mints, I just wish they’d have taken option (A) instead of option (D)ouble Standard.

“Well perfect! Get the new one just so you have a safety net, I’ll istall Linux on the old one and you can play around with it, and when you decide that Linux is actually the best, you can install it on your main machine! If Linux ends up not being for you, I’ll prob buy the old laptop for cheap if you want a few extra bucks.”

But my two kicker 12"s, kenwood head unit, and JL audio speakers are better than the broken tape deck that used to be in my 2002. And it wasn’t that hard to just install myself, bro.

And linux was better on my 2015 Toshiba Satellite with 8gb DDR(was it even 3?) that outright refused to run windows 10 because it was so bloated, because Linux ran. By the time I got to upgrading the PC, why would I have gone back to windows after tasting true freedom?

There’s also the Scouts formerly known as Boy (“Boy Scouts” no longer exists, it’s now “Girl Scouts” and “Scouting America” now.)

Male only spaces are often sued out of existence.

That’s not the weird part (beyond being by nature exclusionary so if you think that is weird then I guess there’s that) but rather the semi-public-but-not-really aspect, personally were I to have a woman exclusionary forum, it wouldn’t be out in the open but something more controllable like a discord server (preferably without the privacy nightmare but I have no will to create this space and prefer places where all are welcome so I haven’t done much research on where I’d create that.)

Just seems like inviting unnecessary conflict and work for the mods, unless that’s the goal I suppose.

I think your stats are a bit skewed, it’s likely more than 1% of the entire population (internet or otherwise) that are women, trans women, or NB. (I know you’re speaking entirely too hyperbolically rather than literally, but)

I mean, just in the US alone:

The total population of United States is estimated to be 332.39 million with 164.55 million males (49.50%) and 167.84 million females (50.50%). There are 3.3 million more females than males in United States.

I find it hard to say that 3.3mil more women than men is “99% men all the time,” sounds like it’s closer to 50.5%.

As for them having their own community, idgaf really, have fun, but also:

It’s definitely a double standard, and fraternal organizations are often met with just as much hostility and discrimination suits (ex: Boy Scouts were pressured to allow girls, while Girl Scouts not only never faced the same pressure, those leaning on Boy Scouts to br inclusive actively defend Girl Scouts as a male exclusionary space, and I cannot grasp the cognitive dissonance that takes). Personally I think we need to pick a lane as a whole either direction, it’s either fine or not to have exclusionary orgs and comms like that, no double standard, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Also I think it’s somewhat of an invitation for problems to have your exclusionary non-public community in public. Should prrooooobably just have something more secure that people won’t constantly stumble into, but if one has fun with constant moderation I suppose it’s a good way to feed one’s addiction. Seems like it’d get old, personally.

It’s especially ridiculous to me to make someone’s demographic the subject of a post, while barring that demographic from participation (at least on that post.) I guess I get it, it’s like talking shit behind someone’s back instead of to their face, which is a lot easier, but it is telling that if you replace the demographic in question with any other of your choosing, the problems with the practice would become glaringly obvious.

That said if they want to be exclusionary, reactionary, and complain about an entire demographic without them there to speak their side? Well I’m used to it, you should hear the shit my uncle says, so I say have fun, fuck it.

Read this as “Haley Hyperdickx” and now I think I legally have to make that band.

First guy on the list:

Matvei Petrovich Bronstein was the son of a doctor and was of Jewish descent…

In August 1937, while he was living in his apartment at 38 Rubinstein Street, St. Petersburg, Bronstein was arrested after having had his legs broken by his captors as part of the Great Purge.

He was convicted by a list trial in February 1938 and, executed the same day in the basement of the Leningrad NKVD prison. The exact reason for his arrest remains unknown, and contrary to some claims, he was not related to Leon Trotsky.

Yeeeeeaaaaah I can see the “nazi” part but it’s the NKVD not the Jewish theoretical physicist.
