I'm actually pretty decent in all of those areas...
I'll screw it up in a second though if it involves stubbing my toe, being polite to a rude person, or muslims.

New Leak Reveals Israel’s ‘Samson Option’ Includes American Cities on Nuclear Target List - VT Foreign Policy

*feigns shock and surprise that our beloved "ally" Israel would think of such things*
Bushing or mandrel or both?

What about the pma expander? It is a traditional expander like you describe, only it’s purposefully thin top and bottom.
Yeah the argument is the down stroke still does most of the interfacing with the brass but still.
Don’t get me wrong, I still use the traditional mandrel sets myself, purely due to economics and prior investment. It is still literally twice the handling steps in a non progressive presss than the combo dies.
I just think that if someone is using these ultra match grade combo dies that they probably aren’t using crappy enough brass for the differences in tensile strengths on the small sizing operations to have a measurable effect on outcome.
Caribbean Delegation Bound for Brussels, London to Demand Slavery Reparations

Reparations are due now to compensate for the trans-Atlantic slave trade as a way to tackle “its legacy” in contemporary society, including “systemic racism and white supremacy.” That is the message a Caribbean delegation will take to Brussels and London on a visit designed to elicit cash payments as compensation for “slavery and colonialism.”
Calls for reparations are longstanding but have been gaining momentum around the world, particularly among the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the African Union (AU), Reuters reports.
The outlet set out some of the background to the latest call to target Europe:
The Reuters report goes on to state the delegation includes “Caribbean academics and policy experts, as well as members of national reparations committees established by CARICOM member states and backed by their respective governments.”
CARICOM has a reparations plan, which, among other demands, calls for technology transfers and investments to tackle health crises and illiteracy. The AU is developing its own plan.

Opponents of reparations argue contemporary states and institutions should not be held responsible for their past. But advocates say action is needed to address the legacies, such as inherent racism allegedly delivered through colonialism.
Britain has previously rejected calls for reparations even as the United Nations has added its voice to the call.
Just this past week a Black Lives Matter (BLM) affiliate made a demand of its own in the U.S. telling “white folks” the time has come to pay up.
BLM has also made the same call in the UK.
As Breitbart News reported, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres in 2024 said past colonial powers “laid the foundations for a violent discrimination system based on white supremacy that still echoes today.
“Descendants of enslaved Africans and people of African descent are still fighting for equal rights and freedoms around the world. Today and every day, we reject the legacy of this horrific crime against humanity.
“[…] We call for reparatory justice frameworks to help overcome generations of exclusion and discrimination.”
HILARIOUS!!!!
K-Bars Small fixed blade for your daily carry?

Dawson with their USA made Magnacut steel is a good one and I've had nothing other than positive experiences with this company. I love their proprietary metal finishes.
Here's my four so far. I EDC a fixed blade all day long and much prefer this over folders.
The way the Contractor feels in hand, 2nd from right, makes it my favorite.
Next are my TKell's.
Warthog on the left side, the other a Nighthawk. I'd rather have Magnacut steel but I like the shapes and sheaths more than Dawson.
Probably get a couple Half faced Blades next.

I've spoken a bit about my M5x DBM and described verbally the difference between the "x" and the de-facto standard M5, so I thought I'd show everyone what the "x" is all about.
Notice the circled protrusion with a blind hole that houses the Pre-Load Piston, and, in some stocks, material will need to be relieved to allow the fitment of the protrusion.
One will note that in the DDG Lot Test Fixture, there's no "wall" of material between the mag box feature and trigger inlet area of the stock. If one has a stock with a wall of material there, simply remove enough of the material to allow the protrusion on the DBM. Everything else about the "x" is all standard M5.
The only other area to be revised is on the bottom of the receiver (rimfire and centerfire alike), just ahead of the trigger pocket. A small, blind depth plunge with a 1/4" end mill creates a pocket that allows the vertical movement of the piston when the magazine is inserted into the DBM.
All of my new actions will be set up from the jump with the features that accommodate the Pre-Load Piston.
