I know three different doctors who all think psychiatry is pseudo science at best.

Why is it that the overwhelming majority of these mass kill fuckwits are on nutjob drugs and not in the nutjob bin?
Click to expand...
If they were kept in the nutjob bin, then the psychiatrists would be out of a job. Remember, the perceived job of a psychiatrist is to get the patient back to "normal."

If they were kept in the nutjob bin, they would not be considered "normal." Therefore, the psychiatrists keep Dizzy and Daffy on the happy pills and declare them to be normal so they can be out on the street.

If they are locked up there's no need to keep them on the happy pills. No happy pills = no job for the psychiatrist.

Dizzy and Daffy are deemed "normal" as long as they take their happy pills.

The problem with all of the above depends on who is defining the word "normal."

Well not exactly, and not in most cases. But, lack of oxygen at the time of birth, either though blood flow restriction to the brain or though environmental oxygen starvation can and will cause serious non repairable brain injury.
Severe asphyxia can cause:
What they don’t tell you is that the person with that type of injured brain becomes a somewhat violent and VERY ANTISOCIAL individual. I had several clients who suffered from asphyxia at the time of birthing. They are not people you want to be around.

HOWEVER, a treatment has been found. Not medically approved or used or authorized to use by the powers that be. A strong dose of DMSO intravenously immediately administered will promote enough oxygenation to alleviate the symptoms.

Worked with mental retardation all my life. Mention an issue in that field and I can say, sadly, that I’ve seen it, worked with people who had it and can’t say, despite some efforts, much is truly being done. Still far too many “professionals’ want those people to spend their lives trying to put square pegs in round holes in sheltered workshops.

Brain injury yes. Mental retardation no.

Machines are getting spun up shortly and these will be hitting the market soon.

Short throw, 700SA footprint. They’ve been tested for awhile, this is all I am allowed to share.

Dry fire capable since the firing pin never protrudes beyond the bolt.

They will be available in barreled action only to start.

OK this actually brings up a need I have - do they have something like this in a consumer type version? I'm not talking about the ones you buy at Harbor Freight, Northern tool, etc that have a handle and wheels - those suck. I need to pick up lots of nails from a pile of pallets that were burned.
Click to expand...
Those wheeled magnets vary greatly in strength. You don't want a shitty homeowner quality one. You need to look at a commercial roofing supplier. ABC is the big one in my part of the country. Trust me, the commercial grade ones will pick up your nails. I borrowed one from work last year to clean up an old burn pile at a house I bought.

A good one will cost you a few hundred dollars.

Mine also likes the Ranger T. It's the only semi auto pistol I own that has never misfired, stovepiped, FTF/FTF or had any issues whatsoever. Also shoots like a much bigger gun. The helical spring and bull barrel are amazing.

You've only seen artist's conceptions of dire wolves. Leaving the real/fake arguments aside, these are genetically identical to the extinct animals known as dire wolves, and that is how they looked as juveniles 12,000 years ago.

Keep in mind these puppies are now the size of gray wolves and will continue to grow for another eight months. That said, they are not going to be anywhere near as huge as I've seen them often depicted.

Just because they look the same doesn't mean they are the same.

Genetically modifying elephants to have hair and look like mammoths doesn't make them mammoths.

Cool nonetheless though.

U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

Thanks for posting that picture. I have one of the same Marine w/ same M14 DMR rifle, but I didn't know the date & place until now.
What is interesting re that DMR rifle is the non-standard scope and rings. Not sure what scope that is, but it's clearly not the standard issue Leupld Mk 4, fixed 10x scope that used GGG or Badger Ordnance rings. Looks like a quick release set-up of some sort.

Here's a left-handed Marine with a DMR including the original GG&G mount and rings, along with the 10x Leupold Mk 4 scope.

Vortex range finders

Emerson0311
Useful range is about 1/2 of what is advertised. For almost all LRFs. Consider how many rifles you have to choose from and how much their total cost was. Now remember that if your rangefinder is incorrect, or doesn’t work at the range you need it to, or in bad weather, or because the battery dies too fast, etc, all those rifle investments are worth nothing.

Was in the market for the same scope (Athlon Helos 2-12) and just ordered one from WalMart! Was in a bind with the back orders as well, but who knew WalMart would have em. Appreciate the help!

I did own a Credo 2-10 years back and posted a pretty lengthy review on here if you’d like to check it out. My only issue with that scope was wanting adjustable parallax. Always felt like my eye was fighting between a crisp reticle or crisp picture. I’ve since sold it but otherwise it’s a fantastic optic.

U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

R
Most were not moa rifles that I saw first hand your looks like a sweet shooter.
Click to expand...
On that subject, I am curious, were you ever trained on the 'barrel tension screw' aka 'Pure Voodoo screw' on the SAGE chassis back in 2010? I have heard anecdotals that this magic screw was very carefully adjusted for all EBR-RIs when made at Rock Island circa 2009-2012 by two armorers who built basically all of these rifles.....but in the field soldiers, being soldiers, would dissemble the rifle and/or take the top cover off, and then overly tighten that Voodoo screw upon reassembly - as some did not know what that screw was for. Overtightening that one little screw binds the barrel, especially when it starts to heat up - and thus accuracy goes from 1 MOA to 3 or 4 MOA... Yep, that is what I was told, and the EBR-RI Supplemental guide speaks to this critical feature, but its not clear how well this was understood in Afghanistan.

Question: Back in 2010 were you trained by the Army or aware of this interesting Voodoo screw? Just something I am curious about...

SAGE_Barrel_tension_screw_v2.jpg


EBR_manual_barrel_tension_screw.png


EBR_manual_barrel_tension_screw_instructions_sml.png


EBR_manual_barrel_tension_screw_instructions2.png


So, this is a very unique feature - and one Army armorer made the mistake of dissembling newly received EBR-RIs for cleaning, but had no idea that he was overtightening that Vodoo screw when he put them back together. He tested the rifles afterwards and couldn't get them to group anything like the test targets that was included in every shipping box of an EBR-RI - so even that unit's official US Army armorer was oblivious to this aspect of the SAGE chassis. Rock Island only did 3-shot groups w/ M118LR for each EBR-RI, and 1.5 MOA was the max allowance. Reportedly, per the below article, only one rifle out 5000 made from 2009-2012 failed that technical accuracy requirement. Most looked like these test targets, typically under 1 MOA for 3-rds: (I wish they would have done 5-rd groups, but anyhow)

How the U.S. Army Builds the M14 EBR-RI - Guns and Ammo

The M14 EBR-RI has become a legend in the military community, and this was the only time a writer was allowed inside TACOM to document the building of these chassis-based M14s.
www.gunsandammo.com www.gunsandammo.com

...Why do I ask this question? Well, on my rifles the Voodoo screw slightly protrudes from the top cover, unlike the other allen head screws that are pretty well recessed. So, at first glance one might think that screw was sort-of loose and should be tightened down so it is flush with the top cover - but that actually puts a lot of downward pressure on the barrel about 6 or 7 inches from the muzzle, and once it starts to heat up - the 'binding' pressure goes up quite a bit, and accuracy goes into the toilet... Fwiw re the Voodoo screw...
