I don’t know what the best flow through is dB wise, but like 5 years ago when I put in the order for a then OSS full size HX-QD 556 my main criteria to begin with was I shoot lefty, wanted to dedicate it to a 11.5 BCM upper, and didn’t want to dick with gas blocks. This was when this version of the can wasn’t in a ton of hands outside of YouTube and got a decent bit of hate online. When I got it 9 months later and shot it the first day, I was so pleased that I soon placed an order for the K version which mostly lives on a 14.5 GPR now. Like it’s gonna be loud regardless, but does what I need it to do.

Not that the welded Hux cans are the best looking thing, but I hate the look of the new 3d printed ones and would possibly take another welded K type if the deal was good enough.

A lot places are getting rid of self checkout because they are looseing too much product to theives in the self check line.

Same thing we would see with a computer applying a protocol to medicine. Way too much fucking up for a business to accept.

Likely not your intention but that brought up a "fond" memory of mine if you can believe it.

A number of years ago I found myself dining in the Officer's club in the Newport Naval Base. Not that there was anything particularly "fancy" about the location just that my previous life didn't involve invitations to Officer's clubs (from what I know now, not many of 'em exist these days, at least not like they used to).

Anyway- long story short I was doing a work thing again at that location and was invited to the Officer's club for their (weekly I believe) seafood boil). It wasn't my 1st trip to Newport or my 1st visit to the officer's club but this was one of the first "events" I was expected to participate in for work.

It's no state secret- one can easily google what the location looks like...

So I find myself there again and this time for a seafood boil so some more images of such activity from the same location...

So all that to say- it was a 'nice' location, with a 'classy' spread, designed to attract 'cultured' diners. And then your old friend LuckyDuck rolls in dressed well & on his most professional behavior. It's a beautiful gathering with good plates and cloth napkins and I remember thinking at the time that I just might be turning a corner in my career that I'm now finding myself in these situations and I'm feeling pretty good about that.

Well I start into breaking up the lobster claws delicately presented in front of me and low & behold I cut the ever living shit out of my hand with the shell. It was an absolute mess. Think arterial bleeding all over my plate, all over the cloth napkins & tablecloth... a trail of blood all the way across the hardwood floors you see in the first picture. It was just blood every freakin where. And in classic LD fashion, right at the beginning of this evening so not to gain any professional benefits from it.

I cut myself deep enough with that initial lobster claw that I likely should have needed stitches but after bleeding through a few cloth napkins I ended up butterfly stitching my hand back together and bandaging the shit out of it (replacing it daily) for the rest of my time there in Newport. So much for professional development.

But yeah- that was my first and last seafood boil experience.
