Is that bad? in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

Ooh, could you elaborate on that if possible? I have some vague ideas why JS is a scourge on the web but I've never looked into the specifics.

Do most of the issues stem from the language itself (which is held by effectively duct tape) or do they stem from how it is used?

Does anyone know where or even IF I can purchase this scope mount part? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock

My stock is also foldable, actually! Emphasis on foldable, as yours looks to be actually collapsible.

If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don't use lasers

Very, VERY valid point, and yeah, I don't use my laser at all, really - it functions as tacticool decor more than anything else. I forgot to mention it's a laser+flashlight module, with a function to switch on either or both, and so I always basically use the flashlight and nothing else.

I really like it, and yeah, you were close! It's a 32mm non-illuminated scope with a 3x-9x variable zoom. And it is in fact meant for .22LR - I picked it up brand new for a measly 250 PLN (~$60)

Granted, I rarely, if ever, use the higher zooms, because neither my MP5 or my cheap sniper rifle are accurate enough to make use of that kind of magnification.

And that prism sight looks real nice! I don't mind having a basic scope, since I've gotten quite decent at hip firing at close range, so I'd rather have the added power a scope like that provides.

And since you've shared your build, I'll share mine, in my dingy old garage back when I was cleaning it.

collapsed inline media

That one's without the foregrip and the laser module attached. It's quite literally a poor man's G3, but hey, as long as it works.

EDIT: By the way, judging by the positions and looks of all the pins and screws and some other parts, I assume that's also a CYMA?

Kinda ashamed that I never thought about just getting scope rings! I'll definitely look into those. Thanks for the Locktite tip!

That actually looks really close! I'll take a better look at it when I get back home next weekend. Thanks!

Does anyone know where or even IF I can purchase this scope mount part? (lemm.ee)
 

I have a scope set up on this CYMA CM.401 airsoft MP5 replica. It's compatible with 11 mm rails by default, hence the adapter between the scope and the 22 mm MP5 rail.

I've lost one of the... "clamps"(?) for the adapter alongside the screw a few months ago in an airsoft match, and I thought that I'd get by with just one screw since "oh come on, it's just an airsoft gun", but it turns out that even on an airsoft gun the force from the electric motor is enough to throw the scope's aim off with only one screw.

I want to purchase a replacement "clamp" (and a screw if possible, but not necessary, since I can just borrow one from my red dot), but I don't even kinda know where to start looking for one. Can anyone help me out?

What purpose do carbohydrates OTHER than sugars serve in the body? (lemm.ee)
 

On every nutrition label (on the ones i've seen at least) there's a section called "Carbohydrates", and right under it is "of which sugars"

For example, this pack of chips I have lists that in 100g there's 61g of carbohydrates, of which 2.4g are sugars (speaking of which, what sugars are these, even? monosaccharides? polisaccharides? both?)

And that made me wonder - what makes up the other 58.6 grams, and what purpose do those carbohydrates serve in the body? I'll admit that I'm really inexperienced when it comes to stuff like this, so apologies in advance if this is something really obvious.

Based on the other responses to this, I'd say it really varies from person to person.

In my case, Kdenlive does in fact tend to crash often the longer I use it in a single session. It tends to get unstable on my system after around 2-3 hours of continuous work.

I remember losing an hour's worth of progress once, and from that point I've been saving my stuff compulsively. At least it taught me good habits!
