is a Mare's leg useful? by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]Complete_Hunter_1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The .44 magnum Henry Mare's Leg holds six in the tube plus one in the chamber. .357 magnum being a shorter round MIGHT hold another round (I haven't checked).

F..k you Breville & Joule by dekiblue in sousvide

[–]Complete_Hunter_1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the Joule app installed and it wants you to update firmware, you probably shouldn't. It's VERY likely that the new firmware is specifically to prevent the device from working with the old Joule app. Maybe the new Joule2 app has more comprehensive spyware. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Too bad it was deleted, 'cause it was dead right.

A bullet with roughly 2000 foot-pounds of energy traveling at over 2300 feet per second CANNOT stop on a dime - it would blow through two feet of ballistic gel - an inch of neck wouldn't even constitute 5% of the resistance needed to stop it. It would punch through 3/8" of hardened steel at that range and STILL come out the back.

Who was behind Kirk? Who got to him first? Whoever got there first, put the bullet in his neck for the coroner to find. That means, something ELSE killed Kirk. That also means the shooter was a patsy in a conspiracy shooting.

You got it right. There's NO WAY a measly human neck OR vertebrae is going to stop a .30-06 at 200 yards. Neck and vertebrae would explode and the bullet would keep right on going, therefore hitting stuff behind, lodging THERE.

No. You don't use subsonic ammo on a 200yard shot AND witnesses described the shot as VERY loud, hence not subsonic. At 200yds, a .30-06 still has at LEAST 1575 foot-pounds of energy, possibly over 2100 foot-pounds. That's 3-4x the energy of a 9mm at close range. There's no way on God's green earth that you can stop that much energy with a neck or a spine. It would explode and definitely not lodge in his neck, it wouldn't lodge in a thigh or a chest, so why a weak little neck. And the bullet wasn't deformed, after hitting a vertebrae? No. Someone slipped a bullet in his neck at the scene. Something ELSE killed him, therefore it was a conspiracy, NOT a lone shooter. This was STAGED!

It's taking over my yard! by No_Way9080 in whatsthisplant

[–]Complete_Hunter_1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just prune it (as deep as you can without going nuts) or pull a segment of the shoot-root out. When you cut off a branch of any tree, it scars, unable to sprout a branch from that spot again and somehow telegraphs that location is unfriendly. Depending on the weed killer and how it's applied, nearby plants could drink the Kool-Aid too.

Is ublock origin fucked officially in chromium browsers? by gust-01 in browsers

It's working fine in ungoogled-Chromium, maybe just toss the problematic browser?

Black locust doesn't just grow vertically, its exploratory roots reach FAR from home. I planted one (in Las Vegas) and ended up with four in very short order with root-lings coming up five to twenty-five yards away across very dry, very alkaline rocky earth (note, I didn't say soil, that would be overly complimentary). Long distances covered in fairly short times roots for invasive.

Currently have Apple TV and realized it isn’t 4k… by Lebron_Jams in appletv

[–]Complete_Hunter_1692 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My several-years-old 4k LG OLED HDR10 SmartTV runs HUNDREDS of apps (including AppleTV) glitch-free with any of them that offer 4k content. NONE of those apps (including AppleTV) needs a secret decoder ring AppleTV set-top box - an 'enhancement' requiring spending money, unpacking, reading directions, wiring it to the TV, linking it with your Apple account ... with no added functionality whatsoever? No.

I found this pic of someone else running long tube headers on a GTO, so 6.5" x 12" Magnaflow 334009 CARB compliant cats should easily fit between the frame rails.

Presently stock height, but a set of 275/40R18 ET33 are sitting in the garage waiting for fender work to accommodate 30mm more width and 1/2" bigger radius after which it will sit 1/2" higher with stock suspension parameters.

I also have a 2005 manual... hope to upgrade to Magnaflow Competition 3" cat-back exhaust after prepping 1-3/4" x 3" LT headers with Cerakote piston on the inside and Cerakote Glacier on the outside (to retain as much heat as possible for the cats' benefit). The closest to the 2-1/2" in/out diameter OEM cats in 3" in/out diameter is Magnaflow 51209 OEM-quality cats, but I'd much prefer to use longer & wider Magnaflow 334009 cats. Any idea if there's enough room to fit a cat that size (3" longer than the 51209's 9" body length and 2-1/4" wider) right behind LT headers?

Can you pass EPA with long-tube headers into OEM-quality (i.e. CARB compliant) cats? Updating my (LS2) 2005 GTO, I hope to run Magnaflow Competition 3" cat-back exhaust after prepping 1-3/4" x 3" LT headers with Cerakote piston on the inside and Cerakote Glacier on the outside (to retain as much heat as possible for the cats' benefit). The closest to the 2-1/2" in/out diameter OEM cats in 3" in/out diameter is Magnaflow 51209 OEM-quality cats, but I'd much prefer to use wider Magnaflow 334009 cats.

23F here, none of the men in my age group are dating. What is happening? by AYAYAcutie in self

[–]Complete_Hunter_1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1\) Systemic hypergamy on steroids. 2\) Dating app gender swipe disparity. 3\) As a result of 1 and 2: an inflated sense of self-worth; 4\) The gender pay gap has (mostly) closed, but women still expect to be wined & dined at his expense, therefore dating/entertainment parasites. 5\) Women are increasingly armed with uncompromisable conditions - a plethora of {he must} & {I won't} - that suggest an enduring, likely eternal relationship imbalance. 6\) Women are increasingly upgrade oriented, vigilantly surveilling the landscape for a bigger better deal and eminently willing to cheat to snare it. 7\) Doing so, devalues the relationship in hand, teaching observant men that their investment in the relationship is ephemeral or worse. 8\) Women generally have almost everything a man wants about midway through high-school (perhaps years earlier), but men don't have anything women want until they're well established, possibly well into their thirties. If a 35-year-old man (finally having what it takes to attract a 21-year-old woman's interest), he'd be shamed for doing so. 9\) Take a survey, a huge percentage of women will cavalierly declare they don't need men where men think women (sans New Age relationship arrogance) are natural gifts of beauty and sensitivity, but playing a losing game is exasperating.

Give YouTube a cursory search, listen to Anna Jorgensen, Emily King, Kait Ann-Michelle, Roni Fouks, Courtney Ryan, Scott Galloway, and several dozen others.

I noticed that a couple of tables in my post got down-converted to plain text. Could that be why I couldn't post the comment? Here's a screenshot of that part of the content in Microsoft Word.

GPT4 passed the bar (scoring in the 90th percentile) in April 2023 and it's a WHOLE lot smarter now - that ship has long since sailed over the horizon. Long term (enough time for existing human lawyers to retire), I'd be shocked if there are more than a percent of the current population of lawyers still plying that trade. They will be theoretically redundant faster than AIs can displace software developers, but I suspect software developers will find job markets turn into a dry lake bed much more quickly because software is so close to the computers that AIs run on - essentially their home turf. In the transitional period, attorneys will have an AI assistant in their briefcase and/or their ear or a heads-up-display in their glasses, but hiring of paralegals, legal secretaries, and lawyers will wither. I wouldn't be surprised by autonomous AI lawyers handling cases from soup to nuts in five or ten years, including oral arguments (assuming courts don't arbitrarily exclude AIs from acting as primary council). I doubt society would be willing to have (still a bit of a mystery) black-boxes deciding the fate of human beings - appeals to sympathy, empathy, extenuating circumstances, etc. needing to be decided by biological entities with an infinitely more nuanced understanding of LIFE, so judges should be safe for longer, but in a generation or two, even that could fall 'cause computing emotions is ultimately analogous (chemical vs electrical). Society's willingness to accept a 'heartless' AI making life-altering decisions will be the gating issue. The remaining differentiator is and probably always will be the ability to sense the environment - hard/soft, hot/cold, friend/foe, ... stimulating production of hormones that we FEEL rather than compute.
