Tesla Plunges 250 Feet Off of Cliff at 'Devil's Slide' in California​

https://outsider.com › News


2 hours ago — A family of four miraculously walked away from a potentially deadly crash after their Tesla plunged off a 250-foot cliff on Monday.

I got this image sent to me today,



That appears to be the rear sight holes they used to mount the action to the chassis externally

Anybody every see this and was it a way to prevent the action from loosening up in the Chassis ?

Definitely a hardened criminal...

Hello Everyone!
Been dropping in and out of the Hide for years, finally decided to join up so I could ask some experts about an issue that’s just bugging me.
Sorry for the chapter, wanted to include the details…
I purchased an Sig Cross in .308 at a lgs for a decent price about a month ago. Love the whole gun, for what it is. Shot it 3-4 days after I got it home.
I shot 3 rounds of Hornady Match 168 factory ammo on it, just to get the scope close, then screwed on my CGS Hyperion and fired 7 more for a total of 10 rounds. It was getting dark so I called it quits. I unscrewed the can, pulled a clean bore snake through it 5 times and pushed an oil patch through. Now here is the rub/goof. I put the Supressor back on and stood it up in the safe, stock down. I had plans on taking out the next weekend. When I pulled the rifle out at the range the next weekend, I unscrewed the suppressor as I was trying a different round (Baffle strike test). I was horrified to see fuzzy rust all inside the muzzle end of this supposedly stainless barrel? I couldn’t believe it. I cleaned the barrel slick and it looks baaaad. I’ve seen since that it’s a bad idea to store a can on a rifle as it can condense and cause this possibly? It was an oiled bore and a stainless barrel though; is this possibly a barrel issue? Is this something I should ask Sig about or is this just my own stupid tax? I store 5 other rifles on and off this way before I got the Cross, and the Cross is the only stainless barrel rifle of the bunch. Willing to hear it’s my fault, but it seems crappy that this $1500 rifle has a “stainless” barrel that did this in one week, while every other rifle treated the same, in the same safe, has been and is fine. I shot it looking like this and it still groups 3/4” at 100 yards with 175 FGMM, so I guess it’s fine for its purpose, I just hate it’s like this. Only barrels I can find to replace are $7-800 and that’s a hard pass; if anyone is upgrading to a carbon barrel and has a factory barrel hit me up. Pictures attached. Beat me up about it, I can take it.

Fuck the Saudis.

Looking for feedback on calibers for large frame ARs.
My intended use isn’t as important necessarily as hearing what has worked best for others and their intended purpose. I’m really interested in what feeds and works reliably.
I’m not interested in 6.5CM and already have a nice .308 Seekins custom upper.
I’m building a couple more large frame uppers and considering 243 Win, 6CM, 260 Rem and 338 Federal to name a few. Haven’t researched much thus far, just thought I’d get some feedback here first.

what do you guys use for mid to long range thermal targets? i've heard of people using hot hands. i tried ice water. i'm thinking about trying some 12v heat tape on the back of steel targets with batteries.

i suppose a higher wattage laser could heat a target if you could aim it well enough and you had a significant power source at the range.

Ok so... I have a rifle I enjoy now. Far from special in 223 caliber. With the Criterion barrel and handloads I can shoot 5 round groups @ 200Y off a rest @ .8s . I would like to cut that in half. Having explored different loads I just don't think this rifle is going to do it. So I'm thinking of assembling a new rifle in 6BR.

I have a "parts gun". A Remington 700P in 308. (Nice rifle but no where near as accurate as I desire) From that Rifle I can source the MDT chassis it sits in, the trigger tech trigger, and Midas Tac scope. I say "parts gun" as I'm skeptical that simply adding a barrel to that rifle will turn it into the shooter I'm looking for.

So I'm about to go the route of a custom action and barrel. It will be dropped in the MDT Chassis, receive the trigger and scope. Before I drop the coin I'm interested to hear opinions on my plan.

Thank you.

Been on this planet for almost 45 damn years and I almost don't recognize this Country anymore. When did men turn into such pussies... as in what actual F'n year. I've had a coworker pass at work and have seen some terrible shit in my day. Not once did my company shut down and everyone give up and go home.

I'll be the first to say that I wish the best for Demar Hamlin and hopefully he is able to pull through. He appears to be a vibrant young man who is definitely giving his all, both on and off the football field.

That being said, I fail to understand why the football game was postponed. When is this shit going to stop, and how much worse will things get? NHRA no longer does a 1/4 mile. 1000ft is all you get. The NBA is nothing but a giant poster for BLM with LeBron virtue signaling for Communist China.

I guess that I'm an old relic that blindly believes that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Some of you will recognize the picture and remember when men still played sports. Lastly RIP Ken Block, you were a hero to many as you taught others to turn dreams into reality.

For a most worthy cause....and a COOL RIFLE

Thanks to T @Terry Cross

I just swapped out a factory 20 inch rifle gas psa 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for a 22 inch +2 gas barrel. This was the first firing on star line brass, had some strange rings around the base of the case on lighter loads, then some primers were leaking gas around them on a few pieces of the next few loads.

The hottest load I checked had a.010 bulge around the back of the case ( belted
magnum ) and one of those lost a primer and it jammed it's self in the bolt cam pin bore and locked the gun up.. needless to say I stopped there.

Shot some factory 123 grain federal stuff and brass looked fine, shot some of these same loads with the same brass out of the factory barrel and they looked fine. I did not run a set of headspace gages through this rifle after the barrel change. What are you guys thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Loads were 39-43 grains of rl17 with 143 eldx set at 2.825 coal. Win primers

Rest well KB #legend

Being short is “better” for the planet and future, according to a recent New York Times piece that describes short people as “inherent conservationists” who save resources by consuming less and are “best suited for long-term survival.” The essay’s author, who boasts of her “tiny” children who “eat like gerbils” and thus help “save money and food,” also calls for mating with a short partner as “an effective way to help the planet” because it can decrease the “needs of subsequent generations.”
The Sunday essay, titled “There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Short” and penned by author Mara Altman, begins by describing increased height as a “widely held fantasy of superiority that long ago should have been retired.”

“It made sense to fawn over height when it facilitated survival,” she writes. “Ages ago, when the necessity of defending oneself cropped up daily, if not hourly, tall people could more easily protect their families and bring home some woolly rhino flank.”

“Today, those who have the stamina to sit in an office chair all day bring home the plastic-wrapped meats,” she adds.

“From where I stand — at five feet even — being tall is a widely held fantasy of superiority that long ago should have been retired,” writes @maraaltman. https://t.co/HfG2TQWMen

On an individual level, she notes, success “does not depend on beating up other people or animals.”

“Even if it did, in an era of guns and drones, being tall now just makes you a bigger target,” she writes.

Criticizing the “echoes of these early human desires and biases [that] have stuck in our minds like a particularly catchy marketing jingle,” Altman shares that her own twins “are among the smallest in their kindergarten class.”

“ut instead of preparing to medicate them because of an antiquated societal bias, I’m going to let them be as they are: tiny,” she writes. “Because short is better, and it is the future.”

While other parents “boast about how their kids ‘eat them out of house and home’ and grow out of shoes the very week a new pair is bought as if it’s a badge of honor,” Altman states that her children “eat like gerbils.”

“t’s fine, they are healthy — and because of their low percentiles we save money and food, and they fit into the same pair of shoes for a year,” she writes.

“Growing like a weed? No, thanks. I’ll take growing like a cactus,” she adds.

She also highlights the use of performance and exhibitions by artist Arne Hendriks “to encourage people to embrace fewer inches.”

“He’s even restricted dairy from his sons’ diets and only allows them minimal sugar in an attempt to limit their growth, saving them from the ills of height,” she writes.

Altman describes the future she envisions, expressing her desire for her grandchildren “to know the value of short.”

“I want them to call themselves ‘short drinks of water’ with ‘legs for minutes,’” she writes. “While one yells, ‘I’m the shortest,’ I hope the other will bend his knees to gain an advantage, shouting, ‘No, I’m the shortest!’”

Claiming that short people “live longer” and “have fewer incidences of cancer,” Altman cites a theory that attributes the fact to possessing fewer cells — where there is “less likelihood that one goes wrong.”

“I’d take that over dunking a basketball any day,” she writes.

The author describes short people as “inherent conservationists,” something she deems “more crucial than ever in this world of eight billion,” as she cites engineer Thomas Samaras who harbors a philosophy “that considers small superior.”

“[He] calculated that if we kept our proportions the same but were just 10 percent shorter in America alone, we would save 87 million tons of food per year (not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrillions of B.T.U.s of energy and millions of tons of trash),” she writes.

According to Altman, short individuals are better for the planet and the future.

“Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival (and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked),” she writes.

Pointing to a population of smaller early humans who survived due to their lack of a need for substantial amounts of food, Altman states “[t]hey could do everything bigger humans could.”

“[They could] make tools, hunt…. [and] could also stay alive when times got tough,” she writes.

Choosing a short partner, she argues, is an effective way to help the planet.

“When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations,” she writes, adding that “[l]owering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet.”

The author also cites a researcher who has claimed that short men, “counter to prevailing stereotypes, may ‘compensate’ for being short by developing positive attributes,” such as behaving in “smart strategic” and possibly “prosocial” ways instead of “being aggressive and mean.”

She recalls how her 5-foot-6 husband seemed to confirm her belief when he told her “it would have been easier to be tall than to have had to put effort into developing his wit” which was necessary to attract her.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.
