I don't give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?

I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)

• Carry electrical current

They could have thought of a better sales point than that.

As a side thought, while ground shouldn't normally carry current, it's probably the most important prong when it actually needs to.

But syrup can make them soggy....

I agree with the comments on this forum (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mushrooming-22-lr-case-heritage-rough-rider.891807/) that the cylinder could have a machining defect. (Basically a headspace issue, also but kinda not. The cartridges are sitting too deep in the cylinder itself.)

If there is room for the brass to get pushed back far enough for it to mushroom out, something is seriously wrong. The issue could manifest from a machining error as small as 5-10 thou, I am speculating.

My first thought was excessive chamber pressure, but the bulging would be much worse around and behind the rim itself if that were the case.

The bullet and the brass get pushed in opposite directions and if the brass can move, it will move before it deforms. If it deforms, it'll deform at the weakest spot first, like we see in your pic. (Excessive chamber pressure tends to expand the brass and lock it in place. With center-fire, it'll blow the primers out or have a hole punched in them from the firing pin first. With rim fire, the pressure pushes back on the rim.)

Also, check for excessive slop with the cylinder. If it can move forwards and backwards too much, that could also telling of issues with other parts of the gun. (Like I mentioned before, it doesn't take much for a gun to be out of spec enough to cause issues with brass.)

How will you know you are in the best timeline? If you hit the jackpot and timeline is already perfect, there is no way to know. Any other coin flips will always produce sub-par results after that. (Unless multiple chances at perfection are possible, that is.)

I am 46 and was in the ICU a couple months ago with super high blood pressure and a false alarm for a stroke. Up until last week, I hadn't ran for proper exercise in 20 years:

I can push myself to two miles, but it hurts. It only took a couple of months to work up to this point, so that was cool.

But still, if he wants to show off that he is doing just a little better than a 46 year old with cardiovascular issues he can go right ahead. I ain't going to yuck anyone else's yum, but a comparison needed to be made.

Edit: Fitbit doesn't separate workout types that well without planning ahead and configuring a workout routine. "Lap 2" was a running mile, and the rest of the laps are walking.

Mixed theories on that, and most are older.

On earlier computers, I had several ICs walk themselves out of sockets due to repeated thermal expansion cycles. Keeping the computer turned on eliminates most of that.

Mechanical wear was another problem. Booting a computer was extremely taxing on old HDDs and floppy drives.

Edit: Mechanical stuff also takes much more power to spin up and get running. The energy savings might be measurable if you just kept a computer running and didn't power cycle it everyday.

Most power supplies are really well designed now but they had a tendency to spike power briefly in when turned on. This was especially bad for older capacitors but also not healthy for the ICs. This still happens to a degree, but it's not an issue.

Now that boot times are reasonably fast and most everything is solid state and power managed really well, turning a computer off is fine.

However, I just assume most electronics now just go into some type of deep sleep mode unless fully disconnected from any power source. That likely isn't true in many cases, but I consider it healthy level of paranoia.

Apps are somewhat buggy right now. My shokz will partially disconnect after the first song and exercise audibles are non-existent. (The audio mutes, but the watch still responds to play/pause button presses. This could be just an issue with the shokz app being confused for the time being.)

No difference in GPS connect time from the pixel watch 3, which has been historically buggy at times.

But yeah, random glitches all over the place. It's tolerable enough and would expect app updates to fix most of them.

Motor brush. Its a chunk of carbon that makes contact with a bit on the motor shaft.

We can't forget about Lena Headey either. (Admittedly, I just learned that myself.)
