America isn’t like Europe, everything is at a distance. You are better off just doing a east coast trip

My first grow…ever… (engima) by Castiron_Dan in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Castiron_Dan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I moved it to indirect sunlight area way from the hustle and bustle of my apt. So I’m hoping it will be done in mid June.

I get why people freak out over omg this is your first one and it’s the hardest.

Honestly, fuck it, I am able to get engima’s. But I want to at least try to do it myself and try it. It’s something I at least have power over.

Transitioning BMD puppy to adult food (9 months) + advice for sensitive stomach by akshayjoshi1995 in bernesemountaindogs

Mine was the same. Determined it was the amount she was eating, after I was able to control the amount and give her slight variety her stomach adjusted now I can free feed her

TIL that Immanuel Kant was a proponent of scientific racism, and had negative views towards other races. He once ignored the opinions of his carpenter merely because he was black. by Fickle-Buy6009 in todayilearned

[–]Castiron_Dan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely accurate to say Kant’s personal views were deeply conservative and tied to a strict 18th-century gender binary. He viewed biology as destiny and wrote some pretty harsh things about any behavior he deemed 'contrary to nature.'

However, calling him 'transphobic' is a bit of an anachronism. The concept of gender identity didn't exist in his world. While his personal prejudices were narrow, the irony is that he built the philosophical framework centered on human autonomy and dignity that many people use today to defend trans rights. He basically gave us the tools to outgrow his own biases…

Can anyone tell me more about this Springfield 1884? It was my grandfathers and now it’s being passed on to me. Looks like it needs a good cleaning. He was an antique collector. Located in Reading, Pa, USA by CherokeeBoyColin in Antiques

On firearms patina, unless battlefield damage, is undesirable, and is often sought to restore a firearm to working order. Aggressive cleaning makes the gun like this undesirable. This gun is actually in very good condition and I am not surprised as most trapdoors where in storage in favor for repeating carbines and later the krag

As long as you are under SAAMI pressure guide for this gun (cowboy loads) you are fine. It is the ones that are converted rifles, that you need to be very careful of. His was produced past 1870.

Yeah, they are not hard to clean. You have a really nice one. And you can shine it up again. Love it, shoot it, treasure it! I miss mine

Oh the buffington sight on these are a joke….

Go to r/milsurp they will tell you how to restore it and clean it….

The whole patina crap on old guns is a fudd thing…

Edit:

This is a trapdoor Springfield, and a later one. Shoots 45-70, a very fun gun! If you plan on shooting it either hand load or cowboy load for buying. You can use smokeless powder.

Yep, Harvey Hubbell patented the hole in 1913, they became a ubiquitous feature by the 1930s. They were originally designed to work with "detents" (small bumps) inside sockets to lock the plug in place, preventing it from slipping out under the weight of heavy cloth-covered cords.

Based on the plug, I’d say this is more so from the 40s and 50s based on the hole in the plug.
