They no doubt are very strong, but as I learned as a stoneworker, half the battle is in knowing how to use your body, and to get proper angles and leverages. Kind of like intuitional physics. Once you do that might surprise yourself. I weigh 165 soaking wet but could move rocks easily that guys half again my size strained to do.

Then I lifted the wrong one, in the wrong way, and my buddy heard the disc pop from 15' away.

Yeah, that is all about coordination and preserved momentum. Not much strength involved. Unless it lands flat. Mostly about understanding the dynamics of how it will spin and rotate.

And those guys have a knack!

Rocks are harder. They don’t tend to be symmetrical and all rolly poly like that!

Cheers!

Boeing down in India

They are, but my airline had one occurrence of switches "moving" without human touch. We use a TOLD card on a pad for take off and landing data. Someone placed the pad behind the thrust levers and resting on the switches. At TOD, the thrust levers retarded, and the pressure of the pad being moved by the levers, jumped the switches over the stop, thereby shutting off the fuel. Upon realisation, got both restarted no problem, plenty of height. But to this day, I still cannot work out who the fuck thought putting the pad there even temporarily was a good idea. I've never seen it, or heard of it. I am not in any way suggesting this was involved. Just thought I'd relate a situation that noone ever thought of......
I had a Captain report to me that glass on the rudder trim indication on a A320 was cracked on the centre pedistal, he wondered if it had been caused by Engineering dropping gear pins on it or something.

No idea what they hell he did to break it, and obviously wasn't going to tell me what he had done, but it 1000% wasn't from gear pins being dropped on there.

Pilots can do some dumb shit.

Boeing down in India

Regardless if it was suicide, how does the other pilot wait 10s before turning back on the fuel switches after asking? Was he just stunned? Thinking through the checklist?
It's the kind of thing they wouldn't have expected that to be the cause of the problem though. So I can see why it would take a while.
Especially if there wasn't a warning saying what was wrong.

I don't even know what indication they'd get in the flight deck, would there be a "Engine Cutoff" EICAS message?
I don't know, it's the kind of thing that never gets touched outside of an emergency so there might not be a warning, or config warning for it.

We may finally know who’s been to the island

I appreciate this conversation, but, Trump has an agenda and he know he has until the midterms to make it happen. Epstein (at the present time) is not at the top of the list, he wants your (and my) vote to count, get rid of the fraud, etc, and "make America great again, eliminating waste, and getting this country out of debt so we are no longer beholden to other countries among other things. I'm not a politition or a brainiac, but I have a good feeling that he knows what he's doing.

If the deep state had crap on Trump don't you think the potato and his minions would have exposed him long ago? Also he's not going to protect a pedo, and (I believe) wants justification for these abused children.

#2. I still remember all those important, and semi important people that suicided themself with two gun shot to the back of the head, died mysteriously and/or "News Flash" their plane crashed. Trump... knows this, and he also knows that these bad ombres know where his family lives. Let him does his job.

choosing a bullet for 6 creed

My 6creed shoots the 107smk well, the Berger 105 excellent, had no real luck with the Barnes mat CB burner or eldms. I mean those two shot ok but nothing id post a group about.

The 107’s are consistent in both SD’s and group sizes, the bergers are just a little better.

I tried them over varget, rl16, and something else I can’t remember. I had about 5lbs of rl16 left from before it went extinct so that’s what I use for now. I’ll probably go to shooters world “the creed” once I’ve burned through that. It’s a rifle I lend to buddies to shoot so I don’t have a ton of time behind it besides load development but the smk’s are what I settled on and I don’t complain.

Carson city sheriff deputies take on Cartel member at farmers market

Actually I don’t think about you at all. My point is two fold.

A.) “Annoying” is subjective.

B.) Filming in public has been deemed free speech and I agree with that. There is no expectation of privacy in public spaces. Though I can see how it is “annoying” it is not illegal.

There are plenty of communist counties folks can move to where the government harasses and kills those who dare film in public.

Again, being annoying is not illegal.

Before the 2020 summer of love I had a much higher tolerance for police engaging in this type of behavior. After watching large groups of police officers stand around while cities burned, then jailing someone who tried to escape a mob running a couple over, my tolerance went through the floor.

It is still so bad Trump just had to put out an edict telling LEO to arrest those throwing rocks at federal LEO vehicles. Talk about having to state the obvious!

Cop’s need to stop acting like dicks with overactive egos and spend their time going after criminals. Citizens need to stop acting like children by asking police to deal with something that is simply “annoying”.

You dont think about me at all....BUT, you took the time to write several paragraphs here, and lengthy replys to a couple of other posts I made. Sounds like I'm living in youre head, rent free. But hey, at least we both like guns. :ROFLMAO:

But when you start pushing/outing large groups like that, some lower level is always is willing to trade/rollover, then the snowball starts its roll.
Well, they tried to drag Dershowitz through the mud and he at least confirmed the involvement of people he cannot name by order of a judge. I do not think that anyone of Epstein's clients will be stupid enough to paint a bullseye on their forehead by singing unless he is facing a mountain of rock solid evidence. However, that evidence has been systematically and successfully sealed and hidden for years.

Also keep in mind that a significant portion of our ruling class is quite OK with pedophilia. What do you think is the "+" in LBTQ+ for?
Praying on children has been an official pastime for the rich and famous since the Roman Empire. Why? Because they can legally buy any adult and that's not much of a thrill after a while.

The AI Arctic Warfare Picture Thread

*Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back In Town' softly plays in the background*

Got the AWs together at the local match today. Thanks to @SingleShot85 and @Cuban_Croc for inviting me out. Its been a while since I did one of these matches, so I had to shake some rust off.

This is a prone match with stages from 500 to 1200, with targets ranging from a full-IPSC (1-point), half-IPSC (2-points), 1 MOA (4-points), .25 MOA (7-points). 4 shots per stage. My general strategy, especially with .308, is to try and go half-IPSC all the way through and hopefully catch up to guys shooting the newer PRS-style cartridges towards the end. Interestingly, the two AWs pictured here (left and right) have 6GT barrels. The one on the left is a very old 1995 model (wildly cool) and the other is a 2001 . Due to running factory GMM 175 loads today, I struggled to get the velocity needed for consistency out past 1000, but still had a great time and finished in mid-ish pack. For you TX guys here, the range is North East Texas Tactical and they do these matches every month if you ever want to come out to the DFW area.
