Night Vision Scammed in PX - SOP for this?

Hi everyone,

It looks like I've been the latest victim of fraud on this site (although this one's a pretty weird case, not your standard scammer). I'm happy to lay out all the details here if it's the best thing to do. But that leads to the question… is there an SOP for reporting this type of thing?

It's from this thread here: LINK

He's a "Commercial Supporter" so I figure there's got to be at least some way of reporting it to Lowlight and getting him banned from the site? Most forums I frequent usually have a "feedback" section or similar for these type of things to discuss an issue & resolution but I've been unable to find any section close to that here.

Also, please, have some decency, I really don't need any of the "PaYPaL GOoDs SerVICes" comments right now. I'm not trying to be flippant, but I did use PayPal G&S and the way I was scammed out of being able to submit a claim is pretty unique and something I haven't encountered before.

ETA: Here's the link for the comms. I did my best to export this and format it so it's somewhat readable. I apologize if it's still a mess to sift through. I highly doubt anyone actually wants to read all that, I know I don't, so I'll do my best to post a TL: DR; here in the OP as well as soon as I can type one up.

MVNO

After decades of expensing my cell phone bills and not caring about how much it costs, I am being forced to start paying my own damned cell phone bills.

There are a mind-numbing number of MVNOs out there, and I am not tech savvy enough to understand all the stuff about deprioritizing, data throttling, etc.

I’m happy with Verizon network for my location. Use 8GB or less every month. Anyone have any advice on the best MVNO to go with? I just don’t want to make this switch and have a phone that doesn’t work as well as it does now.

My wife is already telling me I’m a fool for trying to save some money.

He has somebody make the blanks for him to his specs and just calls it his HLR Carbon Barrels so that’s all I know but like I said shoots great. The tan on the shank is just spray paint and will come off.

Wearing out a 308Win barrel

for those of you that have worn out a 308 Winchester barrel in a bolt action rifle, how many rounds did you get before changing the barrel?
to semi-standardize, let’s say that ”worn out” means your group size (from peak accuracy) has increased by 50-100% meaning a 1/4MOA barrel is now a 1/2MOA barrel. I’ve recently changed my 308 barrel and curious to what you guys have seen

Lead weight fisherman has more trouble, poaching & monopoly money

This guy is a real jewel. Tagged some deer using his wife's license because he lost his from several game hunting violations. Top that with passing phony hundred dollar bills. You can be a shit bag but to get your wife and kid jammed up is low life.

Summary on America’s Changing Immigration Laws

Allowing anyone into America regardless of national origin has allowed the communists that fled WWII Germany to achieve power through ‘democracy’. For hundreds of years America restricted who was allowed to become a citizen based on race and national origin. This began with the Naturalization Act of 1790.

Immigration law in this country wasn’t touched for another 204 years, until the 1924 Johnson Act was passed. This law barred immigration from certain countries and set quotas on immigrants from elsewhere. Specifically, this law limited immigrations for persons of any nationality to three percent of that nationality present in the United States in 1910, percent, with an annual admission limit of 356,000 immigrants.

Everything was going great in America until a radical political activist from the House of Representatives began chipping away at America’s longstanding immigration policies.

Emmanuel Celler, the son of Jewish immigrants from Germany, was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1923, one year before the Johnson Act was passed. Can you guess what his first acts as politician were? He was vehemently opposed to the Johnson Act as it limited how many members of his tribe could infiltrate America. He spent the rest of the decade giving speeches and writing letters in favor of abolishing the Johnson Act.

Emmanuel Celler’s political activism continued for decades, and he was finally successful in changing the face of America and its demographics forever when he sponsored the Hart-Celler Act signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson.

This single piece of legislation has been the most detrimental signed into law in America’s history. This law reversed almost half a century of immigration law, eliminated the National Origins Quota, and opened America to the third-world. For example, within 20 years of its passing, a quarter of El Salvador’s entire country had moved into the United States.

We were forced to partake in the world’s largest multi-cultural experiment, and look where it’s gotten us. Interracial crime has skyrocketed, race relations remain at an all time low, and the people being let into this country don’t even hide how much they hate you, your family, and your culture. Our major cities, once the pinnacle of human achievement, are reduced to rubble and crime. Jobs are sent overseas and entire neighborhoods are put out of work in the name of global capitalism.

The fact is, different groups of people just can’t coexist peacefully with each other, it goes against nature.

The communists won and run both political parties in the United States. There are only two ways forward, peacefully or violently. I’ve laid out the blueprint to fix the damage peacefully, specifically by reversing the 1965 Hart Celler amendment, repatriating its beneficiaries and their dependents, then reinstating the National Origins Quotas of the Johnson Act.

Emphasis must be placed on restricting immigration of ethnic groups to their number present at a prior time in American history, and specifically restricting ethnic groups from achieving political power to a fixed number representative of their population in America.

I believe the violent option is more likely, as I am not someone that believes America’s communist rulers will allow us to simply vote ourselves out of this situation. The book America Balkanized by Brent Nelson is an excellent writeup on how America is headed to a Union breakup because of all the hostile people and cultures being let into it.

Separate from a secession, peaceful or otherwise, it seems that if America doesn’t split into two or more smaller countries, its communist leaders will continue to buy defense stocks and drag it into foreign wars until the nuclear option is reached. At that point, we’ll have to pick up the scraps and start over.

MK12 Build Questions

Hey guys,

I’m wanting to start an MK12 clone build. Looking for direction on how to make the most accurate rifle I can.

Looking for recommendations on barrel mfg.

Looking for direction on what action, bcg, hold tighter tolerances and accuracy.

Any specifics on gas operating system.

Any other recommendations on tips for accuracy during the build. Kinda a newbie here.

Appreciate it!

Who are the “go to’s” to have barrel blanks machined to IMPACT action prefits?

Who are the current smith(s) or shop(s) that are the “go to’s” to get a couple of barrel blanks I have on hand to get machined and chambered into prefits for an Impact precision action?

I’ve been out of the PRS game for a few years and am easing back into it. I’m not in a super rush for turnaround, rather I want top shelf quality, so I am fine with waiting a few months kinda thing.

Thanks

Rep. Jamaal Bowman Charged for Fire Alarm Stunt, Faces Six Months in Jail.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has been criminally charged with a misdemeanor for pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, allegedly to prevent a vote on the House floor.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail. NBC News’s Frank Thorp first reported the story.
BREAKING: Rep Jamaal Bowman has been criminally charged with one misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm for the September 30th incident in the Cannon Office Building, according to court documents, @dnlbrns & I report.
— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) October 25, 2023
“We finished our investigation,” reads a statement from the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). “Our agents gathered all the evidence, packaged it up, and sent the entire case with charges to prosecutors for their consideration.”
USCP presented a probable cause arrest warrant for 22DC1319A – False Fire Alarm – to the D.C. Attorney General, who is charging Bowman.
Bowman has been ordered to appear in D.C. Superior Court Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m, EDT for his arraignment.
The former middle school principal insisted that he pulled the fire alarm in order to open the door to make a government funding vote.
Breitbart News first broke exclusively that Bowman threw emergency warning signs to the floor before pulling the alarm and running down a set of stairs before exiting the building from another floor, contradicting his claims.
Republicans have drafted a resolution to expel Bowman from Congress.
***UPDATE***
Bowman reached an agreement with the Attorney General to pay a $1000 fine and issue a formal apology in exchange for having his charge dropped after three months, according to Axios.
Bowman spox says the AG agreed to withdraw the charge in three months if he formally apologizes and pays a $1,000 fine.
"I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped." https://t.co/oftSAWp38b
— Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) October 25, 2023
The congressman will avoid serving any jail time if adhering to the agreement.
“I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped,” a Bowman statement read.
Bowman is still subject to additional actions from Congress, including censure and even expulsion.

LYING SON OF A BITCH! THROW HIS WORTHLESS FAT ASS IN JAIL!

22ARC

Are we not talking about this yet?
Yes, I'm aware of the 22 Grendel wildcat that's been around forever and is probably the ballistic twin of this. I almost bought a 22G but the stories of having to neck turn scared me off, plus lack of barrel maker options. A factory brass equivalent of it has me interested again.

Need computer advice

Ive got a 10 year or so old HP tower. For the last 6 months its been getting slower and slower, often will just lock up for mintes at a time. Ive cleared cookies and cache.


Doesnt seem to be the internet itself as my laptop woks ok, and from past experience it doesnt seem like a virus.

-Is it likely just full of information and slowly reaching its capacity?
-Just an old model that like its owner is wearing out?


Suggestions. They gotta be simple as Im not very sophisticated with computers.
