@freemo you have to be careful it’s those button releases. A bunch of people have shot themselves because of button releases where if one uses the index finger and maintains pressure after the gun is drawn the finger slides into the trigger guard. For my revolvers I use thumb strap holsters, for autoloaders I use “level 1”

@mandlebro Depends on a few factors.

So my level-2 has the button positioned near the waist, so no issue of that regardless.

My level-3 has two buttons, and one of them is positioned like you suggest. However since i always have the safety on that wouldnt be an issue even if it did happen. So far that hasnt been an issue for me even with the safety off.

@TruthSandwich Nahhh, affirmative action is way better. Everyone knows racism is like antimatter, it goes away as long as everyone expiernces the same amount of racism.

@TruthSandwich Nah just affirmative action that shit up... randomly arrest some white people to balance out the numbers and were good to go!

I just bought a level-3 holster. I now have every level from level-3 down covered. If you were to **open** carry what level holster would you use?

For reference the levels are as follow:

level 1: Friction retention only (this is most holsters)

level 2: Friction retention, plus one locking mechnism (A button to release)

level 3: Friction retention, plus two locking mechanisms (usually a guard for the hammer plus a button to release the gun)

@TruthSandwich The 3x magnifier isnt for CQC itself, though the fact that it is a flip away is... the 3x magnifier just makes it versatile enough to be used up to 100 yards in a pinch without getting in the way of the 1x or adding too much bulk like a scope would.

@impooortant Well that comment surely has small brain energy.

Being prepared is just responsiblity, nothing more. Especially when you are in my position, but yea your brain is too small to bother even asking why its needed, shame. How do you even dress yourself.

Ok decided to up the ante on my CQC ar-15... already have the red-dot installed (posting that image again for reference)... I decided im going to ad a flip-to-side 3x magnifier (got a monstrum brand as it was the only good quality magnifier in FDE I could find). I also have 45 degree FDE iron sights ill add as a backup.

I ordered the parts, ill share the final configuration when its done!

Clears throat, then says it loudly for those praying in the back of the room.

@Pat This vote will not in any way decide if we silence that instance.

I wanted to figure out if i asked who wanted an instance silenced, when that instance was one of the worst examples of an instance that I would expect would have the largest number of people voting "yes"... in that case how many would agree.

My intent was simply to see how often the instance is likely to agree on silencing any one instance, where I expect this instance to get the highest percentage of yes of any instance.

@freemo Back-in-time debugging (not really exclusive to AST based languages, but it apparently only exists in CL and maybe smalltalk), stickers for capturing output FROM THE EDITOR (without modifying the code itself directly), and semantic navigation are really only possible with AST based languages, unless you leverage tree-sitter as an intermediate which isn't always accurate.

All I'm saying is this:

(Replace "still real" with "beautiful"...couldnt' find a better fitting meme 😅)

@johnabs

hahaha.

Hey ill be the first to admit the aesthetics is a really silly reason to pick a language... but man it weighs a lot higher with me than it has any reason to...

@freemo Use Clojure with Datomic/Datalog (or if you want simpler, an isomorphic web framework may fit the bill)!

1. Clojure has plenty of full stack frameworks, and there are great resources I can link on recommendations (Macchiato is a great looking framework). Additionally, it's very easy to spin up on AWS, which makes it quite convenient.

2. Datomic/Datalog is a query language that allows querying based on "facts" and "rules", which can deduce new facts from known facts. Conveniently, many of the syntactic structures in datalog are highly sugarable and allow for compact queries, as compared to their SQL counterparts, though both database methods are (more or less) equivalent. I would seriously check this one out, even if you don't end up using it :3

3. You could also consider common lisp weblocks (or similar, there are others), which is an isomorphic web framework which makes a lot of things really nice and convenient both for writing and debugging! I personally plan on using this once my startup gets more off the ground and we get into the web dev phase, at least if I can get a few more devs on this in the mean time 😭

Anyway, that's my two (three?) cents, don't spend them all in one place 😂

@johnabs My buddy Dustin would be excstatic about your suggestion... I do love functional languages (it is one reason I want to use haskell so much)... and I really love Datomic's approach.

Literally the only thing holding me back is really silly... its just so ugly.... but thats a very poor reason.

@TruthSandwich

No contradiction. The point is the long muzzle and shoulder-rest give you greater accuracy... you dont need high speeds for high accuracy, especially not at close range.

@trinsec

@TruthSandwich @trinsec

Depends on the subsonic you get.. A good subsonic uses the same amount of gunpowder but a heavier bullet to keep the energy the same but bring the velocity down to subsonic levels.

The problem with 300 blackout is they have too much energy and you have penetration issues again.

That said you are right that a 5.56/223 isnt the ideal caliber... personally if i wanted an ideal CQB I'd do an AR-15 chambered in 5.7. But I dont have one of those yet.
