[14:18:13] elcasey ComputerTech: Hola, amigo! Buenos dias, qué tal?

[14:19:32] elcasey nice!

[14:19:47] elcasey does that entail just removing the magazine and putting in a 30-rd? haha

[14:32:13] elcasey you can do 9mm ARs though, there are conversion kits (and some purpose built models for CQB and LE)

[14:32:41] elcasey 9mm is still expensive af like all ammo but it's gotta be cheaper than 5.56

[14:43:40] elcasey hahaha I hope so

[14:43:49] elcasey if it actually is, that means I don't have to do any client work today

[14:44:29] elcasey I am migrating a few thousand repos off of ADO to GitHub for a client

[14:44:34] elcasey out of the frying pan, into the fire

[14:56:41] elcasey \g: well the AR is a platform. You can (and many do) build carbines on the AR platform.

[14:57:24] elcasey You can build sniper/DM rifles in 7.62 on the AR platform

[14:57:47] elcasey you can make "handguns" on the AR platform (but we both know they're just short rifles)

[14:59:47] elcasey I'm an AK guy, always have fun, but I do want to get a nice AR soon

[15:00:18] elcasey and then I also want to get a beater AK that I can knock around, either a Bulgarian or Romanian. My Saiga AK the wood furniture is too gorgeous for me to mess with it much.

[15:00:32] elcasey s/fun/been//

[15:00:53] elcasey well I own several

[15:01:11] elcasey and over a dozen handguns and a few shotguns

[15:01:23] elcasey and I'm licensed to carry a concealed firearm :)

[15:01:48] elcasey never been raided because I'm not a criminal

[15:02:22] elcasey there is no firearms registration in Florida (and many other states). Records exist, but they do not get sent to law enforcement (LE has to come request them from the shop owners)

[15:02:44] elcasey I worked in a gun shop in my youth and part of my job was looking up "yellow forms" that LE requested

[15:03:26] elcasey there is very very little crime committed with legally obtained firearms

[15:03:40] elcasey ComputerTech: 100

[15:03:54] elcasey Mikoolo and I were talking briefly about Swedish rifles yesterday

[15:04:56] elcasey I was at my pal's house on Wed night to play a miniature wargame (Napoleon French v Russians) and I clocked his Swedish Mauser and this auto rifle I'd never seen before) - https://imgur.com/a/Tq76pQ7

[15:05:19] elcasey ,w

[15:05:21] elcasey .w

[15:05:31] elcasey and it's 11 here :/

[15:05:56] elcasey \g: you're so soulless man ;D

[15:06:18] elcasey it's all good, but I hope you don't mind if I keep giving you shit about it

[15:06:36] elcasey I don´t like light wood grain cabinets either

[15:06:48] elcasey mine are dark brown, you can't see the grain, I like that

[15:06:57] elcasey goes well with my countertops

[15:07:09] elcasey Mega_Byte: i c wot u did dere

[15:07:57] elcasey \g: I am more of a traditionalist (re: firearms), I don't think I own a single composite frame handgun

[15:08:17] elcasey h4: HEY GUUUUUURL

[15:08:33] elcasey don't judge, man

[15:08:36] elcasey haha

[15:08:43] elcasey yeah no Glocks, I'm a SIG guy

[15:08:54] elcasey and S&W and Ruger

[15:09:03] elcasey Basti: :D

[15:09:10] elcasey Basti: but they're so so sweet!

[15:09:52] elcasey \g: see I'm a 1911 guy!

[15:11:17] elcasey wez: in the past! I built an FAL from a parts kit (and then you have to buy the receiver from a dealer because it has the serial #)

[15:11:25] elcasey oh I like the Five Seven a lot

[15:11:38] elcasey \g: I'm not anti-polymer I just don't own any

[15:12:30] elcasey wez: they're Belgian!

[15:12:39] elcasey Beretta any shotguns are $$$$

[15:12:41] elcasey never had

[15:12:57] elcasey \g: my carry piece is a SIG P938 but it's not polymer

[15:13:21] elcasey I used to shoot trap competitively as a teenager in the mid-90s and I used a Remington 1100 (semi auto)

[15:13:33] elcasey H&K?

[15:14:28] elcasey my dad still has a large collection, he has an HK MP5 pistol

[15:14:33] elcasey :D

[15:14:45] elcasey Knobs & Rectus

[15:15:02] elcasey wez: oddly we do in *some* Chinese places

[15:15:07] elcasey wez: bloody good stuff, eh?

[15:15:16] elcasey :D

[15:15:19] elcasey I would never, sir

[15:15:21] elcasey you know this

[15:15:41] elcasey bit of a raw prawn there, aren't ya, bud? (I'm doing my Australian for you)

[15:16:24] elcasey hm i thought you guys said bud sometimes, ok

[15:16:34] elcasey NO

[15:16:42] elcasey I call everyone buddy

[15:16:59] elcasey that is CA ^

[15:17:07] elcasey California, not Canada

[15:17:10] elcasey jk

[15:17:44] elcasey I am not

[15:18:14] elcasey no I have an Audi sedan that I can't even fit a piece of plywood into

[15:18:21] elcasey utility vehicle, see

[15:18:52] elcasey https://i.imgur.com/fFDbAJk.png

[15:19:20] elcasey I think you mean BMW drivers, with my respect

[15:19:35] elcasey I aggressively indicate

[15:19:42] elcasey and I become *very* cross when people do not

[15:19:59] elcasey idk what that is

[15:20:03] elcasey I pass in the passing lane

[15:20:13] elcasey but I don't spend the entire journey there

[15:20:25] elcasey I hate pretty much everyone else on the road because they're shit drivers

[15:20:43] elcasey we don't have a lane just for emergencies

[15:21:05] elcasey interesting, no we don't have that in USA

[15:21:14] elcasey :D

[15:22:46] elcasey we don't have those everywhere either, at least not in FL

[15:22:48] elcasey we have them

[15:23:03] elcasey but I don't know if it's legal yet to send out citations just from a camera (I hope not)

[15:23:10] elcasey surveillance state

[15:23:31] elcasey haha nice

[15:23:47] elcasey fuck people who run red lights obviously but accidents/orange lights do happen

[15:24:41] elcasey I haven't even been pulled over by a cop since ... I wanna say 2005

[15:24:47] elcasey I legit do not even remember

[15:25:18] elcasey and that was some garbage about a temporary dealer plate on a car I'd just bought

[15:25:25] elcasey ehhh

[15:25:45] elcasey LoneWolf367: I drive fast (on the interstate, not on surface streets) but I don't drive aggressively or dangerously

[15:26:02] elcasey \g: that sounds almost like a date

[15:26:29] elcasey lol that was a date hahaha

[15:26:45] elcasey interesting

[15:26:52] elcasey but that's cool!

[15:27:05] elcasey I have been let go a lot in my youth by just owning up to doing dumb shit

[15:27:31] elcasey I never understood people who wanna argue with cops over traffic citations

[15:27:38] elcasey what is that *ever* going to get you?

[15:27:52] elcasey yeah that I can see

[15:28:43] elcasey yeah, if you wanna dispute it, take it to court

[15:28:53] elcasey the cop may not even show up

[15:29:00] elcasey yes this is not wise

[15:30:59] elcasey i don't mind if people drive slow (which in Florida means the speed limit +5mph haha)

[15:31:04] elcasey but GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE

[15:31:44] elcasey s/LEFT/<insert fast lane for your country>

[15:32:28] elcasey and it's like people are allergic to the right lane as well. "Oh I'm not immediately exiting so I can't drive in the right lane even though I'm going 64mph"

[15:33:05] elcasey where I live around Sarasota in FL there is a ton of interstate construction going on and even with EIGHT lanes you have morons jamming up the two leftmost lanes

[15:33:19] elcasey I guess I should say four lanes, it's four in each direction

[15:34:20] elcasey I have never been to CA (my uncle lived in Cerritos for a long time) but Florida is growing so fast our traffic problems are huge

[15:34:27] elcasey but I imagine it's quite similar

[15:35:24] elcasey and it's like the most aggressive drivers are people in a shitty Kia or like a Toyota Yaris doing 115mph and darting in and out of traffic

[15:35:57] elcasey see Orlando got rid of all toll boths, it's all SunPass or toll by plate now

[15:36:04] elcasey but Tampa won't do it, it's SO dumb

[15:36:24] elcasey they have literally built a chokepoint into 275

[15:36:53] elcasey yeah Orlando got rid of everyone having to go through the tolls like ... I wanna say 15+ years ago

[15:37:13] elcasey or in some cases you have the physical booths there which is annoying because tourists are clueless

[15:37:20] elcasey but like 2-3 lanes will be DO NOT STOP - SUNPASS ONLY

[15:37:37] elcasey and inevitably some fat idiot with 9 kids from Ohio has no clue

[15:37:42] elcasey and I blow a fuse but I TRY not to

[15:37:53] elcasey I know it isn't their fault haha

[15:38:23] elcasey I've seen people REVERSE on the highway around a toll section

[15:38:29] elcasey like holy shit, you people actually want to die

[15:38:59] elcasey I guess they think they'll put the helicopters and SWAT onto them for running a toll and there will be a nationwide manhunt

[15:39:03] elcasey for $1.25

[15:40:28] elcasey One good thing I will say about Mass, they removed all the toll booths in the state, I never had to screw around with a transceiver box in the rental cars, it's just toll by plate and I guess Hertz or Avis stuck it on my bill (was for work so didn't really matter to me)

[15:43:33] elcasey hahaha

[15:43:54] elcasey there are no front plates in FL but those dark plastic covers are illegal on the rear plate (you still see people with them)

[15:48:27] elcasey LoneWolf367: yeah my car hasn't even got the bracket and it definitely looks ... off

[16:09:54] elcasey LoneWolf367: gonna start driving this as my daily driver https://youtu.be/-B6N4pIikMw

[16:09:59] elcasey whoops lol wrong link

[16:10:18] elcasey LoneWolf367: https://i.imgur.com/CyXlOS3.jpg

[16:11:36] elcasey what is your obsession with tarps and staying dry, mate?

[16:11:56] elcasey I'm genuinely asking

[16:12:25] elcasey just seems like you bring this up a lot, I am just curious

[16:12:45] elcasey like regular rain ponchos don't provide enough protection for you?

[16:12:59] elcasey also, how about an umbrella in the mix?

[16:13:12] elcasey that's a good reason!

[16:13:31] elcasey and my bad, I didnt see the tent part

[16:14:12] elcasey teddybearcell: I am an ex-avid outdoorsman (I am just middle aged now but I went camping almost every weekend from like 10-11yrs until I was about 18 hehe)

[16:14:36] elcasey teddybearcell: Im assuming this picnic blanket is plastic? that should serve as an ok ground cloth

[16:15:35] elcasey but honestly a tent should be enough on its own so that you're not getting leaked on. But lashing up a tarp as like a second roof could be a good idea

[16:15:53] elcasey I would leave air between the tent and the second tarp on top

[16:16:10] elcasey yes

[16:16:24] elcasey the worst thing you could do is create some situation where water is going to pool or puddle ABOVE your tent

[16:16:40] elcasey because that blows loose, it's like someone dumping a bucket of water onto your tent (and that is going to get inside)

[16:17:33] elcasey teddybearcell: I just felt like "ok the only two times I remember this guy talking, they've both been about tarps and staying dry" but I thought you meant you were going to wear them while you were walking around xD

[16:18:11] elcasey I really miss camping

[16:21:16] elcasey Basti: I was like damn I hope you know her pretty well

[16:21:49] elcasey ^

[16:21:56] elcasey I'm onboard with this

[16:23:30] elcasey sleeping outdoors is nice if the weather is good

[16:23:47] elcasey jeeez

[16:24:00] elcasey no such thing as minus anything degrees in Florida hehe

[16:25:15] elcasey teddybearcell: I lived in Russia for a year and we had a -40 winter and I hung some laundry on the window latch handles to dry but instead it just froze to the window glass and I had to peel shorts and socks off of the glass

[16:25:57] elcasey lel

[16:26:12] elcasey "it's hot in the summertime" OMG CLIMATE CRISIS

[16:26:28] elcasey it's August, y'all

[16:26:51] elcasey lucky

[16:26:55] elcasey that never happens to me at work

[16:27:07] elcasey "Casey you work from home" NO EXCUSE

[16:27:26] elcasey -40 is same-same in C and F, yes!

[16:28:04] elcasey hahahaha

[16:29:30] elcasey I have a knife in my pocket and a knife on my desk because knives are tools and I can't imagine having to not carry a useful tool like this

[16:29:52] elcasey but they just little Swiss Army knives not Rambo hunting knives lol

[16:29:57] elcasey xactly

[16:30:19] elcasey jk I'm not

[16:30:34] elcasey irish666: bro, you get it. that is top use for it. and opening packages.

[16:31:07] elcasey oh you mean actual clipper clippers from them?

[16:31:16] elcasey I use the scissors from my Swiss Army knife

[16:32:34] elcasey it feels later than 1230

[16:32:46] elcasey I am ready to ... start drinking maybe a little ... >_>

[16:33:01] elcasey nice

[16:33:18] elcasey that sounds like paradise to me

[16:33:33] elcasey few days max

[16:33:39] elcasey if you literally did 24/7

[16:33:47] elcasey hahahaha basically superfood <3

[16:34:32] elcasey i am trying to be all keto and shit so I basically have two choices - vodka or white claw

[16:34:49] elcasey but I haven't really got much of a slowdown feature built into me when it comes to vodka

[16:35:04] elcasey vodka is fantastic, it is so misunderstood

[16:35:24] elcasey every different distillery has its own characteristics and flavors

[16:35:28] elcasey y'all are missing out for real

[16:36:10] elcasey you plant them

[16:36:13] elcasey and grow a vodka tree

[16:36:35] elcasey and there are so many flavored vodkas, like actual tinctures, good ones

[16:36:57] elcasey ImTryingmybest: well I am going to drink some today, so please prepare yourself :P

[16:37:19] elcasey do some breathing exercises

[16:37:54] elcasey the rapist

[16:38:07] elcasey full bore

[16:38:25] elcasey I can be a happy drunk or an angry drunk on just about any alcohol

[16:38:31] elcasey it depends on whether or not people provoke me

[16:38:50] elcasey yeah but it's not like "oh I am triggered, I went from happy to angry"

[16:39:29] elcasey and sometimes people provoke you (or me, actually) because I'm drunk and doing or saying some dumb shit, I own that

[16:39:43] elcasey ImTryingmybest: ok I don't have that level of base anger hehe

[16:40:16] elcasey i don't smash the place up or punch walls, just more like I become very unhappy and I'm already affected by the alcohol (a LOT of it)

[16:40:34] elcasey well that's just a fact also

[16:40:52] elcasey i have to go buy some

[16:41:08] elcasey yeah it is but I like it

[16:41:18] elcasey oh! meetings for work

[16:41:21] elcasey c u next time xoxo

[16:43:53] elcasey ImTryingmybest: if it's legit fucking up your life, you should get help with it

[16:45:23] elcasey i delayed this meeting a week and how much you wanna bet my boss won't join today either

[17:07:50] elcasey irish666: I'm definitely one of the whiskey bottles full of piss

[17:08:47] elcasey why am I not surprised that a redditor lives in a house full of literal piss bottles either

[17:09:33] elcasey ImTryingmybest: I will tell you my story later if you want. Seriously. I was struggling, hated every job I ever had. I was fortunate, things changed for me, and I am doing better now than I ever have before.

[17:09:59] elcasey there is a degree of good fortune involved but a lot of it is hard work

[17:10:11] elcasey I am just telling you that if you set a goal and you work hard to achieve it, things can turn around

[17:10:32] elcasey so don't feel like you're fucked and it will never work out

[17:10:36] elcasey haha pls

[17:10:55] elcasey I can't now, I gotta go handle some work stuff, but we will have some conversations

[18:58:50] elcasey s/doner/boner

[18:59:17] elcasey failed to execute my own lame joke, awesome
