Right on Schedule... woke Pope BS

No, it is human nature and competition for resources. If you don't believe in God, you could argue that human nature caused the belief in the first place. Everyone seems to have a religion, hence the worship of the government when they told everyone to get the "vaccine" and people literally went crazy on those who chose not to...even though the government said you couldn't get it if you were "vaccinated."

"If God didn't exist, humankind would have to invent one." -- Some smart philosopher dude.

Nothing wrong with being religious, thinking there is a higher power, or organizing with like-minded folks. Religious precepts are, in general, no different from the organizing principles of societies since we came out of the trees to hit each other on the head with clubs. And have done a lot of good to provide roadmaps for civil societies.

And massive damage.

Most of the damage was done by organized religions that are about power, wealth and control, not spirituality or recognizing that the precepts that keep civilized man from bashing each other on the heads with clubs are the same whether done because you think a burning bush suggested them... or because it makes sense that if you want to live in tight knit social orders, bashing each other on the head with clubs (or drive-by's with switched-on-Glock) does not advance the human cause... or your personal security and success.

Meh, I worship physics, chemistry, biology and cosmology. Mostly peaceful folks there... that is until they hijack actual science to create climate 'science' and decide to engineer fake pandemics and Zyklon-B (Though that was a mostly-peaceful pesticide at first.)

As for Popes... Maybe the shaved-headed whiney singer chick was right... Even if she wasn't worthy to eat the peanuts of of Frank Sinatra's stool!

So Cal Ice protest.

Maybe it’s time to close off the city, turn off power and water and let it go mad max. The politicians aren’t going to do anything to stop it, looks like they are encouraging it. Let them have what they ask for. Let it burn. I don’t care anymore. Come to my AO and we will handle it differently.
i do fail to see how the response isn't with live fire. oh well.

So Cal Ice protest.

I don’t know what yall are so worked up about? Comrade Newsom says it’s just like a sports celebration….

Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

Have you ever used a 5-25x56 on a 14.5" carbine? It's pants on head retarded.

It's honestly a bit much for a AR-10. The 3-18 or 4-16 class of scopes are quite nice for AR-10s. I really don't enjoy having a baseball bat on top of my rifle.

I generally don't enjoy benchrest shooting with 12-15# semi-auto rifles. The 5-25s are simply too long and heavy for semi auto rifles built for dynamic shooting.

Nothing wrong with a dot + scope that isn't a 5-25. I think a 2-10 plus dot makes a lot of sense. It doesn't make sense when the 2-10 doesn't have a useable reticle and is as long and heavy as a 3-15 or 4-16.

Of course a 2-10/12 that is unusable until 4x that is also as large and heavy as a 3-18 won't sell well. It's a design philosophy problem. It was never going to sell well. That doesn't mean a well designed scope will also sell poorly.

The old 2.5-10x42 nxs is not perfect, but it has the correct design philosophy. What are the choices in this space? A $2600 Leupold? 😂 The market for $2600 Leupolds is quite small, that's a Leupold problem, not a MPVO problem. Mark4HD with crap reticles and questionable tracking? I could do the TMR, but at least update it a little, please include some numbers on the reticle so we don't have to count the hash marks all the time? Other than the NXS, the mark 4hd and mark 5hd there aren't many choices for reasonable size and weight MPVOs that are also usable across the entire mage range.

It should be a simple formula... Smaller and lighter than a mark 5hd 3.6-18 or atacr 4-16. Usable reticle across the entire mage range. Most MPVO offerings today do not meet this criteria, which is why they fail commercially.

There aren't many sub 24oz, sub 12" MPVOs that are also usable on 2-4x.
March 1.5-25x42 DFP.

I do like the H6Xi 2-12x42. I wish the reticle was a little thicker in the center, but it is working better on low power than i thought it would. Especially in fading light with illumination on.

Elon says Trump won't release the Epstein files because he's in them.. and then he said a lot more.

How WAPO would write an article if it was writing about a foreign country , with one correction Oligarch would be described as human rights activist and filantropist fighting for democracy.


"Escalating Power Struggle Between Strongman and Key Oligarch Threatens Regime Stability

The unstable coalition that brought the controversial strongman back to power appeared to be cracking today as the country's most powerful oligarch launched an unprecedented public attack on the regime.

The spat started when tech magnate openly challenged the strongman's latest legislative package - a massive spending bill that critics say would pump $2.4 trillion into an already bloated security apparatus and military establishment, further militarizing a regime increasingly dependent on force to maintain power while ordinary citizens struggle with basic services and the country's infrastructure crumbles.

In a brazen display of the endemic corruption that has hollowed out the nation's institutions, the tech billionaire accused the authoritarian leader of lying about their private discussions and boldly claimed credit for installing him in power. "Without me, he would have lost the election," the magnate declared on his social media platform.

The volatile leader, known for his history of purging former allies, responded with classic authoritarian tactics - threatening to strip the oligarch of billions in lucrative government contracts that have enriched his business empire through classic resource capture by the extractive elite.

The tech baron escalated dangerously in response, threatening to sabotage critical space infrastructure that the regime depends on for its operations, including spacecraft that rescued astronauts abandoned by the regime's own degraded space capabilities, exposing how the oligarch has systematically captured what were once proud national assets.

In what amounted to an attempted palace coup, the oligarch openly called for the strongman's impeachment and suggested his vice president should assume control instead.

The tech magnate also made explosive allegations linking the leader to a convicted sex trafficker, claiming that damaging files from the criminal's network were deliberately suppressed to protect the strongman from exposure - a bombshell accusation that the regime's propaganda apparatus swiftly buried through coordinated media attacks and threats against the oligarch, following the standard authoritarian playbook of silencing inconvenient truths through intimidation rather than transparency.

The public meltdown sent shockwaves through financial markets, with the oligarch's electric vehicle company hemorrhaging over $150 billion in value as investors fled amid fears of state retaliation against the regime's former kingmaker. The dramatic selloff wiped nearly $9 billion from the tech baron's personal fortune, illustrating how quickly fortunes can shift when oligarchs fall from grace in this increasingly volatile system.

Demonstrating how the regime weaponizes legal systems against perceived enemies, a key loyalist demanded an investigation into the tech mogul's immigration status, suggesting he should be deported from the country.

The spectacle has exposed the fundamental hollowness of the country's fragile institutions, now reduced to mere theater. The regime's Vice President mocked the crisis on social media, posting images that suggested the dramatic fallout was merely entertainment - a troubling sign of how normalized political chaos has become among a ruling elite that appears to treat governance as a reality show.

International observers expressed alarm that the oligarch-strongman feud in this nuclear-armed nation represents a textbook case of institutional collapse, where personal vendettas between power brokers have completely replaced functioning governance. "When you have billionaires threatening to sabotage national infrastructure because they're feuding with the president, you're no longer looking at a functioning regime," observed one prominent scholar.

The irony is not lost on anyone that this is happening under a regime whose signature slogan promises to 'Make America Great Again.'"

That’s not a full charolais from what I can see. I bet it’s a cross breed. My charolais are pretty gentle. But that video also tells you one reason it wound up at the auction and why it’s about to go serve some customers at McDonalds. Life is way too short for crazy cows.
I had an Angus cow that would nurse any calf I put on her. Never had a problem birthing and seemed to have PMS where you couldn't turn your back on her. Usually a swat on the nose snapped her out of it. One day it didn't and she was a real pita all day. Loaded her up the next day and off she went to the processor. The pro didn't outweigh the con.
