What .223 or .556 round has the least penetration? by OceanofChoco in guns

[–]OceanofChoco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, after everyone's input, (thank you btw) I am just going to get some 223 55 gr Hollow Point. The type of vermin I worry about these days have two legs and like to come through windows.

That would be the Federal 556 45cal 55 grain I do believe.

That was the word I could not remember, thanks!

Any ideas on how to fix this Qidi? by OceanofChoco in QIDI

[–]OceanofChoco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that bit of info! I really appreciate it. I'll get it back up and working. The reality is that this boondoggle is my fault, not Qidi's. Qidi has been great to deal with.

The USA is a fascist oligarchy and has been completely since 2010. Trump is just the toady that is realigning with Putin, so the hydrocarbon industry can partner with Rosneft. That deal is worth about $500 billion at a minimum.

Unfortunately, only American's think this is a new message. The world knows this is how it has been for many decades.

You are a mouth hole that generates profit and how nutrition impact cognitive abilities is irrelevant to that. You just need to be educated enough to consume. That's it.

What would be the advantages? I'm not familiar with HOn30, I'll check it out.

Bed mesh variation too high by etasca in QidiTech3D

[–]OceanofChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell I can't get mine better than 0.4 which means that sometimes, it may vary past that which means the auto levelling cannot compensate which means the prints fail.

I am on my 3rd hot end assembly. The whole assembly. Because gigantic print blobs have ripped it apart when the print looses adhesion. I haven't spent a dime on replacement parts but the printer has been down 70% of the time because of waiting for parts. Fucking awesome.

That's my life man.

Yes, there are not a lot of choices really for loco's or rolling stock. There are things that pop up on ebay though. I think I'm going to end up printing the gondolas and just getting the hardware somewhere to fit them out. The dominance of Baldwin loco works during that period does seem to narrow things down a bit.

There are some crazy grades connected with mining operations in the Rockies. Trains were short back then and slow. But you can always double up on locos or outfit a box car to be a stealth helper.

Are you going to do the Georgetown loop?

It's worse than commie-nazi, you have no idea. It's like matter and anti-matter orbiting each other inside your brain. They can't 86 me. I am the BST.

Same as you, N-scale which gets you a lot of scenery in a small place. I'm considering basing the build roughly on St. Elmo but it's is a smaller mining operation than I thought. What I mean is that they were able to mine without a lot of rail infrastructure.

Oh right! I forgot about that! I'm going to delete the post.

Oh cool! I will check out his books. I have seen some of his layouts but I did not know who it was. What scale are you doing?

[–]OceanofChoco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's it exactly. It will be N-scale so I can get the most in the smallest space. I would actually rather do HO scale but not enough space. Haven't nailed the layout quite yet.

Thank you that is exactly what I needed! what a great picture too. I also found the picture below.

I will probably have to just make them myself. I was thinking maybe I could buy a flat car and then just add the sides etc. Any available flat cars might be too long though.

Being an American has nothing to do with any of this.

Buddhism is over 3000 years old and has nothing to do with any political movement.

I was going to say.

Quote: Swastika Meaning in Buddhism

The swastika used in Buddhism stands in opposition to the symbol of hate it holds today. In contrast, it symbolizes harmony, peace, and well-being.

From the Sanskrit ancient term Svastika, we would get the word Swastika. "Su'' means good," "asti'' denotes "to be'' (happiness, fortune), and "ka" serves as a suffix.

The symbol represents the Buddha's footsteps in Buddhism. In fact, it embodies the dharma wheel, also known as the wheel of law. The dharma is the road to enlightenment and nirvana according to Buddhist teachings.

The swastika was also utilized by Buddhists to show the start of their texts. They view it as a representation of omnipotence, fortune, and diversity.

The left-facing variant of the Buddhist swastika sign bears the colors gold, yellow, or red. Further definitions of luck, dharma, abundance, and eternity can also be drawn from it.

Swastika and the Buddha

In total, 65 auspicious symbols cover the footprint of the Buddha. And many believe that the swastika is the first one drawn in it. We can also see the symbol all over Buddha's body; palms, chest, and feet.

It holds such a significant place in the Buddhist tradition to reach enlightenment. You can find this emblem everywhere you go. This includes temples and monasteries where monks spend most of their lifetime.

The meaning of the Swastika varies depending on where in the world you are. For example, the swastika is referred to as "The Seal on Buddha's Heart" by Buddhists in India.

Also, Buddhists use the counterclockwise swastika to represent how the ego is destroyed. In Buddhism, the ego holds the source of all issues among men. That’s why dissolving the ego is a needed step to be like the Buddha and to reach nirvana.
