The people who need to see this most will either never see it or dismiss it as “woke” propaganda.

The rest of us already know.

Headline should be, “European Commission demands their cut of the action.” 🫴

That’s why I have notifications off. Once you get to a certain age, people not agreeing with you is their problem.

She lived on the farm, but she didn’t work it; that’s what the male children were for. Her “place” was in the house.

She told me she would ask sometimes, but all anybody would ever tell her was some variation of, “Birds fly. Fish swim. Women have babies. That’s just what they do/That’s just the way it is.”

She finally found out from her doctor while discussing her hysterectomy, but only after confirming her husband was already dead.

Religious, yes. But very much on a farm.

Not until after menopause. She was born in the rural US American south some time in the 1920s (the date is known, I just forget). She grew up during the great depression, never went to school, only knew what she learned from her mother, who lived the same way, and only socialized with other women at church, who also lived and grew up the same way. She could read and count well enough to follow a recipe and write enough to leave her husband a note, but that was about it. She was raised to believe that if she said no to her husband in the bedroom, he would divorce her, word would spread around town that she wasn’t a “good woman” and she would end up an old spinster, the worst thing a woman could possibly be.

Being fair to women back then, most of them didn’t know how sex and babies worked, lacked any sort of formal education besides knowing how to read and write, and were raised that disagreeing with your husband or saying no to him in the bedroom was how to wind up an old spinster, the worst fate for any woman.

Oh wow, you dug a grave? Look at mister “thinks he’s better than everybody else because he owns enough land to bury people”. Why don’t you just tie em up in a sack and toss em in the river like the rest of us?

In the context of a technical discussion, that assertion might hold water, but this meme is referring to discussing one’s feelings.

So, in a way, you’re kind of right.

Also, what I want to say compared to my patience to type it on a touch screen with my thumbs.

If only you had some device you could use to search for information about things…

You’re an “expert in image processing” but don’t understand the fundamental difference between the .jpg and .png image formats or the encoding and compression algorithms underpinning them? I find that doubtful.

.png only compresses efficiently when used as intended, which is for screenshots or other images with large areas of solid colors, where each pixel is most likely the same color value as its neighbors. In this use case, it’s much more efficient than .jpg. However, .jpg is much more efficient than .png when it’s used as it’s intended; encoding images of the real world, like images taken with a digital camera, where each pixel has a slightly different color value than the ones next to it.

You can test this yourself by taking a picture with your phone’s camera, then copying the image, converting the copy to the other file format, then comparing the file sizes. Next, repeat the process with a screenshot of a web page or a simple Paint drawing. You’ll see that the camera image is smaller as a .jpg but the screenshot is smaller as a .png.

That’s good advice for people who have $200

Lmao. Ever heard of AIPAC?

Good.

I just looked up the Rossi Brawler and it’s only $335, putting it around half the price as your cheapest .44 mag. I didn’t know they were that cheap, but it makes sense given the simple design. You can get it chambered in .300 blackout and it has a threaded barrel, so that’s pretty cool.

That’s still only a little bit cheaper than an AR-15, which is going to be more effective at just about everything, so it’s probably still not something I would go for, but I think I’m seeing the appeal now. If you just gotta be able to put 5.56, .45 colt, or whatever down range, and that’s all you can afford, it sure beats nothing.

Your hand might take a beating, but the gun would be fine. Generally speaking, assuming there are no microfractures from manufacturing defects, if the steel and the design can withstand one shot, it can withstand tens of thousands. Assuming, of course, you perform the required PMCS and don’t fire so quickly as to overheat the steel.

The case basically explodes in the chamber.

Yeah, that’s how firearms work.

When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into what’s ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isn’t an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. It’s this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.

Of course a shotgun receiver can’t withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but that’s not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge won’t create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.

But, by all means, don’t take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.

Extraction and cycling are a whole other story, I’m not referring to that. 12 gauge shells are rimmed, .50 BMG is rimless, of course it probably won’t cycle in most shotguns.
