Oh that I got. Dont get me wrong, I love giving back to mother nature if / when i’m in the right place without spectators. It was the idea of maybe being inside, and going outside for that reason. I figure there is less of a chance of something biting me on the dong If I’m on the back patio during the summer having a beer…I ain’t going inside

I’m trying to decide which of those things is unusual, the 7 stars or the going outside to pee.

way to dig deep man. I need to take inspiration from your ability to let go

you’re on track, that pic is a 4.5” on a full size frame

That’s really sad to hear. They use to be great, and easy to work with, including non routine questions. I stopped buying direct about 3 years ago when sales tax and shipping charges hit as prices were already higher in general. But today, we are also getting back into a glut phase with AR prices down significantly. The margin squeeze is likely having them pull back and not replacing staff lost to post pandemic effect / remote. And possibly reducing staff further on anything non-production. The industry trend to deprioritize customer service is real unfortunately. Seeing phone support go to email only at first. The last few left seem to be running small staff. I was talking to the CS at Colt the other day…and he confirmed he was the only one. Reminds me of years ago before they went belly up and CZ bought / saved them. The product has improved, but keeping cost down on that end. Anyone currently waiting with Sig on one of their promised free gun rebates especially knows what zero support feels like.

Hard find. Gunbroker sold prices are approx $2000+ for NIB ones like this. These were more $$$ than standard and loaded models.

Wow. The guy literally had only one job at the point the detector sounded off. No wands apparently? On the upside, they know the metal detector works.

I can ship to buyer’s FFL on buyer’s dime. As far as west, I mentioned I can meet within a reasonable distance. Imo that’s maybe up to an hour. My truck and I don’t really care where the compass points

I mean, I know @FUJIMO works fast....but damn

I’ve had the same kind of experience as you @willki. To get more out of it, you have to interact with interim result sets and direct it to get best results. I’m unsure how someone can get a full program out it as referenced. Programs tend to be very environment and data model specific normally…. but likely down to the interaction and information shared with it. I am limited as i can’t share data models. After years of working in SQL Server environments and transitioned to one with DB2 and straight ANSI sql, I love when it can translate to DB2 specific things with its set of misnomers and interesting attempts to emulate a SQL Svr method. I especially love throwing it a showy regex function that one of the IBM fans is super proud of and it tells me what it actually does with an example without having to look up its nonsensical control characters. Huge time saver. As far as the idea subs have of dumbing down. it’s no different than an encyclopedia on concept. The store of all human knowledge, but easier. Nothing wrong with readily accessible. My wish is it wasn’t censored.

agree, AI ‘s ability to cut to the chase and deliver usable results has noticeably improved for the tech sector. I was having some challenges connecting a third party client to Google BigQuery and it was helpful though it did not give a specific solution. The footnoted references saved a couple hours of scrolling thru search engine results. I love that it can save big time on emails. I find work emails a pain point. PC concise emails without significant rewriting are a challenge. when I remember, I give highlights and voila! Just have to remember to use it up front versus realizing 20 minutes into writing one and debating word choices. It probably would have made this post better too
