Good to see Oldfart today, pistol side 🤙🤙
Thank you for helping my friend and his son with their shooting. You are a great teacher 👍
He never recognize me at first bc I dropped some weight. Now a lean, mean, magnum machine!
But I had to tap out early today bc my new model 29 and some Magtech ammo had some serious recoil. Hammer cut my hand so I called it a day after the blood started. That's ok. I'll live. Play with fire, get burned.

No,  we are better informed!
Until people talk I have to assume they are normal
functional people.
Once I listen to them I know if they are OK or they are
things to despise.
That is not being radicalized.

Sun Tzu figured out secular human nature

We have not changed in the modern world.
Still the same secular world and peoples.
 

Tesla Full Self Driving

Last month Tesla gave everyone a month of FSD to try out.  You enter the address and the car will drive there on it's own.  However you still had to keep your eyes on the road.  If you look away for too long, you get a strike.  After 5 strikes in a month the FSD turns off.

The FSD works fine most of the time.  It stops/goes at traffic lights, makes turns, avoids pedestrians on the road, etc.  It is very cautious as most of the time it hesitates when making turns at intersections even when it's very clear.  I drove around the island and the FSD made things very pleasant.  I could enjoy the scenery and have a conversation and relax.

The dangerous issues.  It sucks at freeway merges where it'll be stopped on the on-ramp forever if there's a lot of traffic.  At some freeway on-ramps with less traffic, it will slowly accelerate but may be limited to the prior speed limit.  For example if the speed limit was 35mph on the street, it'll drive at that speed until it hits a 55mph freeway sign.  If  a car is blocking the tesla from merging lanes, the Tesla doesn't know what to do and won't accelerate or decelerate to merge.  On the Westbound by Moanalua Gardens, the old striping that was removed (just  a black remnant now) confuses the car, it believes it's the lane marking and follows it into the next lane.  When the car had to make a left turn at an intersection with a left turn lane, it bypassed the left turn lane and tried to turn left from the straight lane even though everything was clearly marked.

There were a bunch of other issues.  Then there's problems in heavy traffic, heavy rain, etc.  I don't expect level 4 autonomy or robotaxis to be out for at least another 5 years.

The reason I said I would prefer a fogger is because if you miss someone with a stream then there is a good chance you have no effect. With a fogger you can let out a whole cloud and they will get hit with some of it. Get some on the skin, the eyes and the lungs.  The main problem is the wind can be your enemy, but it can also be your friend, the cloud can travel pretty far, even 100 feet.

Pepper spray is more effective than CS gas generally speaking.

Getting "hit with some of it " is not as effective, if at all.  If being attacked, you need to incapacitate, not irritate.

If you use a handful of gravel because you think you might miss with a large single rock,  you deserve what comes after.

Sure buddy, and any day now the Roman Empire is coming back, too. Just keep waiting patiently.

It's more likely than not...

The Most Famous Historian of Rome

Women have been posting videos of themselves asking
the men in their lives how often they think about the
Roman Empire and expressing shock as these boyfriends
and husbands say they think about the Roman world
all of the time.
