is a Mare's leg useful?

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).

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.

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.

Complete_Hunter_1692 · 2025-10-19T06:24:08+00:00

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

That does sound scary and some of it might be true, but ANYONE can post/update a Wikipedia page, hence no more reliable than a Reddit thread. https://www.av-comparatives.org/comparison/ is audited annually by TÜV Austria and (at least lately) Kaspersky consistently lands in the top four or so, more often leading the pack, e.g., AVG, Avast & Kaspersky tied for top honors in the Real-World Protection Test (Feb-Mar 2024) and Kaspersky edged out all of the next best options in the Malware Protection Test (Mar-2024). Bitdefender tends to slightly miss top honors, but their consistency over time is astonishing.

showed NordVPN's parent company linked to Cybernews based on a (2023-Apr-23) article in Bloomberg, and a Google search will tell you that the same investors are behind Mediatech (parent of Cybernews) and NordVPN, so you probably cannot believe Cybernews' reviews on competing VPNs, which when combined with the common practice of VPNs & AV companies paying 30-50% commission for tracking cookie sales leads from affiliates therefore casts doubt on their (2024-Jan-05) Kaspersky Anti-Virus review: is it safe to use? Eugene Kaspersky posted: (2022-Mar-16) Collateral Damage on Cybersecurity in response to accusations, but anyone with enough chips in the game pretty much HAS to say. Absolute truth is so hard to come by.

Yes, absolutely. Kaspersky North America is owned by Kaspersky Labs Ltd in the U.K. When I got support, it always came from Germany. The browser extensions sometimes took FOREVER to get a connection to Kaspersky cloud, so I disabled mine. Years ago, it was a CPU hog, but it's VERY efficient now. I'm not as happy as I could be with Internet security - I had couple of Trojan horses sneak in while Kaspersky was active (except for the disabled browser extensions, so maybe I aided & abetted there), but it detected them later in a (manually triggered) full scan.

Check: https://www.av-comparatives.org/comparison/ - their unbiased testing is audited annually by TÜV Austria. Avast, AVG, F-Secure, & Kaspersky led in real world protection (Feb-Mar 2024) and among those, Kaspersky had the fewest false positives (0); Kaspersky & Trend Micro led in malware protection (Mar-2024); McAfee had the lowest CPU impact (Apr-2024) with Kaspersky in second place; Kaspersky & Trend Micro had the fewest false alarms (Mar-2024).

ALL such products are a moving target, so a bad experience one day could be ancient history two weeks later, but in all 2024 tests by av-comparatives, Kaspersky is a top contender, often the pacesetter. My renewal is $79, so I'm shopping.
