Runs great, about 850rds in.

LMAO! The stippling was far too aggressive for my tastes, hence the grip tape.

Yep, 43x clone. SCT frame, PSA slide, shield arms S15 G3 mags and release, all Glock internals.
If GG doesn’t bring out their 43x soon I will get a SCT frame for my next clone.

Sounds like it runs well!

I introduced my buddy Toni to guns and trained her to run her Glock and her AR. She has a G48mos, I bought her 4 PSA 15rd mags for Christmas 😊
 
ALL "green" and "alternative" energy production concepts have failed, or are on the verge of failure.

ACKSHULLLY:

Agreed.

We need to get our shit straight on efficient nuclear power plants, preferably fusion which seems to be getting really close.
Done correctly, we should be able to step right off of coal and gas fired plants onto nukes.
Nuclear produce 0 "Greenhouse Gasses" (I use quotes because everything is a greenhouse gas these days).

Nuclear is 100% successful proven Green Energy.

"Greenies" don't like it because "Nukes bad" and know dick about science.

There’s the Ford GT 40

Then there’s the Ford MK4

They Arn’t the Same. The MK 4 has a completely different chassis and body and was made by a completely different company. the GT40 was a developmental of the Lola by Eric Bradley in England and the MK 4 used a honey comb structure made by Kar Kraft a subsidiary of ford Motor Company and was entirely a US Ford product.

1) The carbon footprint of nuclear power is non-zero when construction, decommissioning, and post operational waste management are considered. Largest CO2 releases are probably from bureaucrats during permitting. Soup to nuts, eh?
2) The amount of radiation released by coal stockpiled onsite at big baseload electric plants and through stack emissions exceeds that released by nuclear plants, unless there's an accident.
3) Recycling fuel increases the benefits of nuclear power, but at the risk of proliferation/inventory loss, and different reactor designs are needed to deal with recyclable fuels.

It's a pretty complex equation...and expensive to solve. I believe that the US should definitely be leaning towards more micro/mini nuclear plants.

Got to tour the Byron nuke plant back in 2019; pretty cool.

A couple fun facts about nuclear power:

- A single uranium fuel pellet contains as much energy as a ton of coal.
- All the nuclear waste ever produced by all the nuclear plants could fit on a single football field.
- If someone says solar is better than nuclear, just tell them solar is nuclear at a distance.

Flavor text is good as well.
"Knuth Paper-Stack Notation: Write down the number on pages. Stack them. If the stack is too tall to fit in the room, write down the number of pages it would take to write down the number. THAT number won't fit in the room? Repeat. When a stack fits, write the number of iterations on a card. Pin it to the stack."
