And if it's so "obsolete" then just stick with your PC, dude. (or maybe it's an older title, but i mean, emulation is a thing.)or your PC breaks down. Lastly, if you're playing on M&K already, i don't see too much of a reason to port the controls over to console, Since you already have the option to play most of your games on PC anyway, unless it's PS4/Playing with friends. And what do you mean PC players are, on average, worse? I think that kinda goes both ways, dude. And i doubt it's for a feeling of not wanting to add M&K it could just be a logistical nightmare, i doubt either of us really know since we're arguing on a reddit forum. Apex? Okay, I'll just boot up my xbox, or use my controller(which is about as much if not cheaper than the average M&K setup being around $20-60-200 depending on what exactly you're getting)since it is almost undeniably superior if you don't know crazy movement. I never said anything about whether aim assist has an advantage, personally playing on a gaming laptop, and console: i don't really feel too pressed, depending on the games i play. And did you go to my profile to win an argument? M&K would still be an advantage on R6. I assume it's an accessibility feature since one site does state "with supported controllers"And yes, given the fact that you are calling consoles trash for not allowing M&K, it does kinda make you elitist, dude. "A simple google search could've cleared that up." which i assume will also change your lobbies. It does have aim assist, but it isn't turned on by default.

He said all of the hard work is worth it to make people smile, especially during a difficult 2020. Stony Plain’s Griswold said he has plans to make the display even bigger next year, with some special surprises. It wasn’t grounds for divorce or anything,” Harringa joked. “She just called me an idiot with some other explicit language in there. Harringa recalled the massive RV display in his front yard being a harder sell to his wife though. I watch it every time we go on Christmas vacation,” Goddard said. She’s a big fan of the movie and lead character Clark. Tracy Goddard made the short drive from Spruce Grove to see Harringa’s house and take photos. The house is one of dozens decked out in big Christmas displays on Briarwood Point west of Edmonton. We got Cousin Eddie emptying the ‘shitter.’ Cousin Eddie, that’s one of the best scenes in the movie,” he laughed. “It’s one of the most iconic Christmas movies around. Harringa’s display even features an RV and life-sized Cousin Eddie statue, depicted in the famous scene where he empties his camper’s septic tank into the residential storm sewer while drinking a beer and puffing on a cigar.Įddie, played by actor Randy Quaid, is dressed in a robe and not much else, just like in Harringa’s yard. The 1989 classic movie stars Chevy Chase as Christmas-light-fanatic Clark Griswold, in a tale that sees heartwarming family moments derailed by goofy circumstances and side-splitting disaster hijinks. It’s kind of been dubbed the Griswold house,” Harringa said. It finds Randy Quaid and Miriam Flynn (as Eddie and Catherine, respectively. “People were calling me Griswold, friends joking around calling me Clark, and we just took it to that next step. The 2003 film, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure, was made for television. The idea came from people teasing him about his love for Christmas lights. Stony Plain resident Jon Harringa said he’s spent “thousands” of dollars, hundreds of hours and energized 33,800 lights - honouring his favourite movie. Along the way, they're joined by two sets of irritable grandparents who simply cannot get along and some extended family members who weren't exactly invited.An Alberta man has turned his entire front yard into a scene from one of the most beloved holiday comedies of all time - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The movie starts with the family's misadventures while on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree and things only get more chaotic from there. The movie follows the Griswolds as patriarch Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, insists on going all out to give his family the best Christmas he can. Chechik and stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Randy Quaid. The late John Hughes, one of the 1980s' most prominent filmmakers, wrote and produced the movie, which was directed by Jeremiah S. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" was released in 1989. The home depicts several iconic scenes from the 1989 Christmas movie Harringa, who lives in Stony Plains, Alberta, in Canada, said he had some help from his father-in-law but he was on his own for the most part. He estimates that it took about $1,500, almost 40,000 lights, and countless trips to Canadian Tire to bring the project together. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. In the summer of 2020 it was the riot and protest beat. But the reporters cited and named - in what appear to be efforts to dox them before another long, hot summer of riots - actually do work a beat. Maybe that’s just too old-school and uncool these days. Of course, it’s entirely possible that The Intercept doesn’t know what it is to work a beat in the news biz. Key videos they used come from a tight-knit group of eight young journalists.Įight? Reporters? This is serious. In the year since George Floyd’s murder, conservative news outlets have endlessly hyped distorted stories about violence at Black Lives Matter protests. These “right-wing” media are blowing this way out of proportion, says The Intercept in 50-point font. Please exercise some of that proportionality because there’s an old lady in Dubuque who would like her reputation back after being labeled a Capitol terrorist when she stayed inside the velvet rope with a police escort on January 6th. You want proportionality? One riot in 300 years versus 300 riots in one year, as radio host Chris Plante put it. Capitol after the rioters would like a little of that. Are we supposed to be thankful that they didn’t all turn into riots or something? Thank you for not hurting us every time? The people walking into the U.S. The Intercept reports that - “Come on, maan” - sure, there may have been hundreds of riots with looting, destruction, and bodies, but there were lots of other protests that didn’t turn into riots.

It goes something like this: Oh, sure, they burned the cop shop, terrorized the neighbors, people died, and I couldn’t drive in those parts of the city for months, and I’m still afraid to go there, but was it really that bad? I mean, they didn’t terrorize the whole city or anything. This smacks of the same kind of excuses leftists in Seattle and Portland have been making about their pet rioters. The Intercept, in a piece called “ MEET THE RIOT SQUAD: RIGHT-WING REPORTERS WHOSE VIRAL VIDEOS ARE USED TO SMEAR BLM” in ALL CAPS IN 50-POINT FONT!!!! on the front of the website reports that Townhall’s Julio Rosas and other videographers who work for such publications as The Daily Caller and The Blaze “smeared” BLM with their coverage of the riots.

You'd be forgiven if you didn't. A tapered, hard end is going to slide in.or out, easier than a knotted 1 inch rope". He was using the stainless steel bead on his wishbones. He popped like.3 band on the day we went out. Setting Steel Gear (Tone) came down here last Jan. I think all Dan is pointing out is that there are other methods too. So your saying that me telling people to use a single constrictor knot on my bands using Mako's materials is misinforming spear fishermen? I'm pretty sure it works just fine on all the fish I shoot? Here ill post some pictures for you guys of some fish I've gotten with a single constrictor knot. I don't want to mess with tying bands on my boat. I just take an extra set and leave it in my cooler. Either way, the knots will outlast the band material or wishbone. Waxed line really makes it slide together tight but it's not as strong as the nylon woven line. Then "roll" the band back and forth to really cinch down the knot. I tie bands by tying one end of the constrictor line to my bedpost then wrap the band and pull with a pair of needle nosed pliers with the line wrapped around them. It's a fatter knot and I've never had one slip. I learned to make a half hitch, with another wrap.a "double half hitch", knot on the wishbone line from Riffe. Many times we tie bands on the boat with nothing around other than the bands wishbone cord and even use fishing line as constrictor cord if we forgot to bring constrictor cord, it works well actually Would have liked to see a section where you just make your own knot and insert that into the band and use that instead of just showing how to insert a bead or other third party object into the band. The band making materials you see in the video are here Speargun Band Making Materials. Here's a video showing how to use it and how to tie bands correctly. No insertion tool is necessary and the Dyneema wishbone is easily replaceable. I've been using the Speardiver Low Profile Wishbone Inserts exclusively for a few years now. In any case using a knot in the wishbone line to anchor it in the band is obsolete. As with all things Mako the band making kit is more hoopla than practical. This Speardiver Band Tying Twine is much better for a few reasons. The Mako band tying line you are using is very small diameter and it's possible it will cut the band when tightened properly. Also a double constrictor knot is better than the constrictor knot for this application. Needle nose pliers have a better use inserting the knotted wishbone into the band, the wishbone insert tool is unnecessary. With those two needle nose pliers you're not able to pull the knot tight enough. The reason your friend's knotted wishbones are not holding up may be because they're using your method to tie bands. Simply make an X, then slide the end under the X.About what I see in your video. This knot can be used to secure cord to posts, while the bowline does not grip it sufficiently, neither can it be made successively. In relation to the bowline knot, the knot grips the object much more firmly. In fact it is so good at binding that sometimes you will need to cut the rope/cord to get it off. This knot is used for securing a rope or cord to a cylindrical object.Īs such the constrictor knot performs better than a reef knot for binding things together and is a lot more permanent than the clove hitch. The most important thing you need to know about the knot, other than tying it is how to apply it to an actual situation. This is why I rank this knot among the most useful binding knots, although it is hard to replace the reef knot, because we were taught to use it since we were kids to tie our shoes. It is depicted as the knot number 1188 is the Ashley book of knots.Īs previously stated, the knot is a binding one and I have yet to find a knot that binds as well as a constrictor. It is a knot that you can master by repetition quite fast and it will come in very handy. The main difference is that they are very easy to tie. In my journey I have found that most practical knots are a bit different from the decorative counterparts we use in our paracord projects. I have recently been studying survival knots and other practical knots. This tutorial shows you a very practical binding knot called the Constrictor knot.

It is easy to clean and maintain and has given me reason to want more revolvers in my collection to bad the competition is so pricey so I will keep Charter Arms in mind when looking for a. The front site is fixed and oversize, I assume it is to allow for modification for each shooter, the rear site is 2 way adjustable. (some people have noted more of an issue with this then the slight inconvenience I have had) and I believe that Charter arms have addressed this by reducing capacity to 5 rounds and have improved on the extractor design. The only issue I have with the Gun is extracting spent shells, not always, not even often, but enough to be aggravating, when dumping the empty cases and using the extractor many revolvers sometime the spring loaded clip that retains the rimless cartridge skips over the case and leaves 1 or 2 of the 6 bound up, no biggie it only take a few more strokes on the extractor and maybe a slight rotation of the cylinder to clear them out. I am not a professional shooter / LEO / military so I have limited experience on what is a good or bad trigger but I find the Pitbull to be relatively smooth but heavy on double action ( which is to be expected) and nice and light on single action, accuracy is mostly on the shooter’s ability and I see no reason to blame the gun or manufacture for my lack of practice, but at reasonable distances 5-10 yards(15-30 feet) I can hit the clay pigeons most of the time, the ones skeet shooters use, albeit I have them as a stationary targets. I am a member at an indoor and outdoor range and have had the opportunity to run several boxes of ammo of all flavours and weights (115g/124g/147g) and never had a misfire, I prefer the slower 124and147g but I shoot whatever is on sale when I go to the gun store. 45ACP also available) it came with adequate but not comfortable or flattering grips, so I ordered in a set of Pachymar grips, they were slightly bigger and have finger groves, the rubber compound was more supple, better in every way and made the gun look better ($100 well spent) I have the Stainless Steel version in 9mm (. They use a spring loaded lip that hold onto the recess at the base of the case. Charter Arms have found a way to retain the rimless ammo with out the use of auxiliary clips and such. Various strategies have been used to allow LEO’s to have a back up gun that uses the same ammo as their service pistol and for the rest of us to use the more cost effective and maybe more readily available ammo. Nowadays it seems most people understand that there is some issue using rimless semi-auto cartridges in a revolver and vice-versa. But I figured more barrel length should only be a benefit to accuracy and absorbing felt recoil. I just Wanted a revolver and most of the information online was positive about the PitBull.īeing Canadian can present some challenges to purchasing a firearm (mostly barrel length and availability) when I found a brand new PitBull 9mm 5” barrel on the gun sale forums I made the purchase without ever holding one in my hand (not recommended) when it arrived I was more than happy with the fit and finish, the 5 inch barrel looked out of place compared to all the snubbies you see online in the USA and in the movies, and even seemed long compared to the 4.2inch Canadian compliant barrels on the Rugers I have handled. When I purchased my 9mm PitBull it was due to cost of the firearm and cost of the ammo to feed it, and on both accounts it was a 40-50% savings, at $500.00ish for the gun I prefer semi auto pistols but variety is the spice of life, and when introducing new shooters to the sport/hobby sometimes simple, is the key to combat apprehension and complexity. But anything mechanical may fail, either by fluke, by misuse or lack of maintenance. They are classic, and their lack of complexity lends to the opinion that they have less malfunctions, and by most accounts that would be correct. Charter Arms 9mm PitBull Revolvers have always had a special place for me as a firearms enthusiast. Why have I been charged twice on my debit card?ĭouble or pending charges on your bank account or credit card do not necessarily mean that you have been charged twice. Why is this?

Two payments have been charged to my credit or debit card, but only one payment appears on my account. Also, this is just an authorization transaction so it should not actually be charged. When you enter a new card or update your information for an existing card, Amazon will ask your bank to authorize a charge of up to $1.00 to verify your identity and validate your credit card.
