    “BARREL MOVEMENT BEFORE THE BULLET EXITS”

    So when I remove the human behind the recoil pad, the error goes away, and when I add the human back in, then we start missing targets. Tells me that an academic exercise on barrel wobulation ain't the priority. Now, as an engineer, I do find the postulated hypothesis of barrel...

    “BARREL MOVEMENT BEFORE THE BULLET EXITS”

    Are we really going to get wrapped up in attempting to predict the deflection of a 1.35"-diameter steel rod during the first few milliseconds after firing pin impact when the rifle is being held by a twitchy bag of flesh?

    Are truck prices finally falling?

    Gluing blocks of foam to the back side of the sheet metal in various locations like the rockers, cab corners, and bedsides makes for a nice quiet ride that doesn't offend the guys who are coming over from the luxury sedan market, but it has consequences for the poor bastards who are trying to...

    Stock Market

    Not much to say - the economy is so bad that the Fed needed to make a 0.5% rate cut but so good that markets are at all-time highs. Graph goes up and to the right towards infinity.

    Are truck prices finally falling?

    I remain unconvinced that I need a $100k truck that will need $10k in repairs if it happens to get a bad tank of diesel.

    Are truck prices finally falling?

    Ram is getting pretty aggressive with mark-downs, since Stellantis appears to be entering the middle stage of circling the drain. I see some modest discounts of 10% on GM and Ford MY2024 trucks. Keep in mind these are about to turn one year old, so the discount may less than the depreciation...

    Poor's dilemma: Good 30 cal suppressor for 6.5

    TBAC if you have plenty of money. Otter Creek if you don't. This thread would get much more traction in The Armory subforum.

    Vibra-tite vs. loctite

    Applying threadlocker to the scope tube? Is this an advanced technique that is only understood by PRS shooters?

    Matt Gaetz - DHS is aware of at least five assaination teams in the country right now targeting Trump

    If he's wrong, it's because he's underestimating the effort against the president.

    Vibra-tite vs. loctite

    Vibra-tite is good stuff for use with plastic. There is still the need to pick the correct version to ensure compatibility between the solvent and the parent resin, but I appreciate having all the options. For metal-to-metal threaded joints, I prefer using the correct Loctite project. For...

    Unplugged Phone rollout - I need tech nerd input

    Proper use of a "burner" phone is extremely difficult, to the point where the device is nearly useless.

    Exploding Pagers neutering terrorists.. Mossad operation?

    Smart, but this particular event wasn't just "overvoltage".

    USGOV banning Killflashes due to possible national security issues

    Gotta say, that's a welcome change from the typical Hide newbie first post.

    What is President Trump's Strategy?

    Yep, but I don't think that was his style.

    Unplugged Phone rollout - I need tech nerd input

    It's all fun and games until Erik Prince and his merry band of misfits show up to wisk you away to a black site because his company won a CIA contact. I like listening to what Prince has to say on podcasts because he's very intelligent and well-spoken. Given his history of doing spook stuff...

    Unplugged Phone rollout - I need tech nerd input

    Not to mention dozens of other components that offer opportunities to snoop at the hardware level.

    What is President Trump's Strategy?

    But his effects will be, and I'm not seeing those at the moment. It could be 34-dimensional chess that I'm simply not brilliant enough to understand. What was obvious is that Steve Bannon and the other misfits from the 2016 campaign took a Democrat NYC billionaire and made him appealing to a...

    Unplugged Phone rollout - I need tech nerd input

    For once, this is actually a solid take. Even if one creates a device that implements effective end-to-end encryption and whatever, the metadata generated by the operation of the device is often enough to hang the user. The Feds didn't care what Granny was texting her grandkids from the Capitol...

    What is President Trump's Strategy?

    Very true. The last good strategist associated with the Republicans was Steve Bannon. Obviously that piece got taken off the chess board and there had been no replacement.

    What is President Trump's Strategy?

    He's eight years older, for one thing. You know how old and frail Biden looks right now, and how fast he declined? Trump is less than four years younger. At some point the Republicans will pay a price for not developing a young and deep bench. We may be at that point.
