Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Every day I see more morbidly obese people , women and men. Saw a Whale bottom out her battery powered shopping cart at a Target yesterday. They need one with a skid plate.
She stalled it and was sitting dead in the water until a Target employee brought her one with a fresh battery. Bottomed it out too. 😳 she was 300+ lbs , barely 4 foot tall. She caused 5-6 people to alter what they were doing to deal with her. One thing for sure , she isn’t allergic to a fork .😖
I used to see all of the bigger people as big eaters but overall they sometimes eat very few calories compared to a healthy 20 year old. I have been devouring info on food and nutrition for a few years and have really began to understand “energy balance” and mitochondrial function. If your body sucks at converting fuel to electric energy you gain body mass.

The standard American diet is so full of chemicals (Europe versions of American food doesn’t have these chemicals) and is so processed starch based that a person only eating 2000 calories will pack on pounds.

Seed oils, processed starchy food, high fructose corn syrup, alcohol…..all create dysfunction in your mitochondria.

Not making excuses for obesity but those poisons create a cascade of effects that make it almost impossible to overcome.



Looks like Ecuador. I would seriously consider living there full time if it weren’t for my grandson.

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

Maybe they are ALL in the file.
They are all in. Why do you think they are always Israel first all the way ? It's practically impossible to run for top public office without being beholden first if its not Pedo stuff its something else. Edgar Hoover was playing in an amateur league with his kompromats. Shmoel seen Hoovers work and said hold my beer ..........

Prism Scope Field of View

Acog's have smaller eyepieces than LPVO's, BUT that have significantly shorter eye relief. The short eye relief is where that get the wide FOV.
Thank you.

It is still interesting that the widest FOV ACOG, the 1.5x16mm, is 39 feet at 100 yards, while the Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x, is 117.5 feet at 100 yards at 1x.

Barring the magnification differences between 1.5x and 1x the FOV differences are still quite large.

Then the people from the first group think having a cabin in the woods is a great way to get away for a weekend. Before you know it..... Gatlinburg TN!! Wall to wall people, a cabin every 50 feet, traffic like Los Angeles and the people are complaining about the bears.

Prism Scope Field of View

FOV is dictated by the eye piece design. Lens diameter, eye relief, Focal length are the main drivers of eyepiece FOV, otherwise known as AFOV.

All else being equal the following is true-

-Larger Diameter eyepiece lens= wider FOV (For example the new Kahles/Swaro 28 degree scopes)

-Longer eye relief= narrower FOV
-longer focal length= narrower FOV

1X Prism scopes tend to have relatively small diameter eyepiece

Acog's have smaller eyepieces than LPVO's, BUT they have significantly shorter eye relief. The short eye relief is where they get the wide FOV.

which 6 to choose?

I discovered 6mm a couple years ago with a 243win and then a 243AI. Before that it was always .22 or .30 cal. for me.

The 243AI was still pretty loud suppressed shooting 55's at 4100 fps so I decided to go with something with a smaller powder charge. I decided on 6 Dasher. Right now the plan is to finish it at 22"

The 85gr bthp gamekings are devastating when pushed around 3400. Slowed down in the dasher I think they'll still be about right for the whitetail in my ao. Im thinking I'll probably mostly shoot 70-95gr projectiles in this build.

I'll echo what someone else already said though, you're already set up to load for the BR.

Strasser RS 700: straight pull Remage-style barrel nut that uses R700 accessories (stocks, triggers)

Klinsky Accuracy Internation Arctic Warfare look a like birch wood stock painted it and made the bottom metal modification.
This is going to be the stock for the Strasser on few weeks, before i get the real one.
I did use like 3 hours to do this stock, if it is good, i might keep it as spare one :D

How about we have a thread about the "paranormal"?

But- and this is a big but, while we like to think we've gotten "everything" figured out by now using science, I 'm not so sure I believe/share that mindset. I think we've answered a small amount of universal questions using science but (reference another thread I started tonight) but we, as a society, only seem to agree with that statement when it aligns with the discussion. And I (personally) find that to be a bit weird.
I don't think for a second that anyone, particularly scientists, think or claim 'Science' has figured everything out.

None of the scientists I know have ever claimed anything like that. Quite the opposite, they know they don't know anywhere near everything. That's the reason they continue to do research. To keep learning and keep figuring stuff out. That's what most of them do.

Scientists will freely admit that they don't know everything about many, many things. But that doesn't mean that if science can't explain something that there must be a paranormal explanation.

What I personally find really weird is people believing everything written, 2000-3000 years ago, then re-written, re-interpreted and translated to suit the tastes of the rulers of the time as the final, literal word of their chosen God.
