Counties are blocking wind and solar across the US
  • I live in SE NC. Duke energy has incentives for solar and they are about to pay for the installation of my Tesla charger in my garage.... It's not all bad I guess..

  • Lead-contaminated applesauce pouches also contained chromium, FDA says
  • Damn Google.. we talk shit about MS trying to shove Edge down our throats... You weren't supposed to go all "hold my beer".

  • Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says
  • I can't be the only one who has noticed the uptick in the negative EV press lately. Is this the same death throws akin to the buggy whip lobby of yore?

    Edit* price needs to be attainable for the many for sure.. but the amount of negative press is "sus" (as the kids say)

  • Updating Arch the right way - Please critique my practices
  • Probably boils down to the arch ethos of K.I.S.S. not making too many decisions for you.

  • Updating Arch the right way - Please critique my practices
  • The archlinux-keyring package holds they gpg signatures used for signing the packages and if you go too long between upgrades it's possible you won't have a signature or an outdated one and a normal -syu will fail because of it. So I just upgrade keyring first and it gets ahead of that issue.

  • Updating Arch the right way - Please critique my practices
  • I have an alias in bashrc called upgrade. It runs reflector looking for the fastest of the newest 10 near me. Then it upgrades the keyring, then yay -syu and then paccache -r.

    I have the journal limited to 100mb so I don't ever bother cleaning house on that.

    I probably don't review pacman logs as often as I should, but stuff rarely breaks and is normally pretty easy for me to figure out what when it does.

  • Looking for some Guidance Finding a Power Supply for a CrocSee CRS-7A016 Micro Water Pump (specs in post).
  • Since the pump doesn't seem to mention it does the pump packaging/paperwork mention how many amps it draws?

    Edit I found it. Load current < 350mA

    I would think damn near any 12v DC "wall wart" would do it, but the adapter you have may not be the right size for what you have laying around.

    Could grab something like THIS that comes with its own adapter.

    Free Kevin!

  • 300blk SBR and 8.6blk SBR
  • That's a hard question.... 300blk is better than 5.56 (considering barrel length) IMO for the likely ranges id engage human targets in(likely close range, and hope to never find out). 8.6blk is my dear hunting round hands down. Where I'm at deer are 50-150 yards. 8.6blk is quiet and hits hard.

    So 300blk for self defense.. 8.6blk for hunting.

  • Henry Model X 45-70 /w Dead Air Primal
  • It's lots of fun.

  • Henry Model X 45-70 /w Dead Air Primal
  • It's so fun! Your reaction is common, but it's always smiles at the range when I let others have a go.

    A little bit of this. A little bit of that.
  • There's 3 "AR-15s". 10.3" 5.56 SBR, 10" 300blk SBR and a 13.9(with pin/weld so technically 16.1") 5.56

    There are 2 "AR-10s". The long 20" one with the can on it on the left in 308. A 12" 8.blk SBR that's hard to see.

    What can I say.. it's a fun and versatile platform, it's like adult Legos. I built all of them from parts. The only work I had someone else do was the pin/weld and the FSB on the 13.9" one.

    There's a century arms ap5-p(mp5) SBR hiding in there as well. All eform 1s.

    Other inventory in there is a Zastava AK (m70 I think), Henry Model X 45-70, A pellet rifle. My buddy's 16" AR10 and Bergara B14 HMR 308.

    Edit. As for form 1 processing time they ranged from like around a month for the shortest to a bit over 90 days for the longest... So all over place. The wait sucks for sure. After the first few it gets easier (especially for cans). I want to say my longest form 1 was like 103 days or something like that. You gotta be almost there!

    And thanks! It's definitely at max capacity... I could probably stuff more in if I tried... But it would be a huge PITA to do.

  • Time is a cruel mistress
  • So say we all!

  • A little bit of this. A little bit of that.
  • Nothing wrong with that for now with such a small community. I plan to post more of my stuff. But will try to spread it out a few a week.

  • I didn't really like the LPVO on my shorty ARs. Have a 510c green dot magnifier on my 10.3" 556 AR. And just a Romeo 5 dot on my 10" 300blk AR SBR and am happy with those.

    I threw the LPVO on the Henry X since it was just sitting in the closet when I got the rifle, thinking it would be temporary, I actually like it on there. The small eye box is ok because it's not a gun for close follow up shots. It's a 45-70, so it's more of a hold on tight and I usually take 15-20 seconds between shots. Or else my shoulders gonna get real mad at me!

  • What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
  • The house I bought in 2012 because I was mad my landlord was raising my rent.... I wasn't trying to be smart..it was a fuck it scenario. Damn was housing "cheap" back then. Houses around me are renting for damn near 3x what my mortgage + insurance is. And selling for as much.

    Posting a safe pic. This place needs some content. I like games, cars, computers and guns. Lemmy has enough of the former to keep me engaged, but the gun side is really lacking.
