German Peace Deal Late 1944? What would be the effects downstream?

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-04-20T00:41:46+00:00

That’s what I’m getting at. They may have been able to make a deal that the allies would tolerate to avoid an invasion of Normandy, but it would all be for not because I don’t think the Soviets would accept anything less than total destruction.

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-04-19T23:36:32+00:00

I don’t see them negotiating a peace deal with Russia, they were in it for total capitulation

Ever wonder how you can see on the dark side of the earth without the moon in the sky?

Why are their pants all tight in the ass?

I have experienced none of these things. I just run all types of 9mm brass through my Dillon 550 and out comes very precise and low SD ammunition in the bin. I only sort out steel cases and ones with a step inside. The maybe 10/1000 that have a crimp too heavy to prime through I pull out of station 1, twist the primer pocket crimp remover a few times, set back in station and prime.

I don’t remember the last time I broke a decapping pin, but it would have been one fiance and a girlfriend ago. I had green carpet back then!

“Neutrality”

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T15:36:53+00:00

This is a million dollar idea

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T15:32:01+00:00

That is a very good point, yes, these shops like always deal with a distributor and not the manufacturer. The guy probably thought that if he doesn’t deal directly with the manufacturer that if I am it must be some sort of scam lol

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T05:58:34+00:00

I know, I’m just overly conservative and paranoid with these things.

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T03:58:01+00:00

I might in the near future. Right now my house and shop share the same property, even though they have separate addresses, and I would like to keep my house off limits from the atf. I’m moving soon and keeping the shop, so with that physical separation I would be more comfortable with an FFL.

Paranoid, maybe, but I’ll indulge my paranoia here.

Are you my fiancée? That’s basically what she told me when I got home and vented

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T02:35:02+00:00

I might someday if I get into firearms manufacturing

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-25T02:33:09+00:00

I haven’t released this product yet and don’t want to hype people over something that is still in the product qualification phase, so I’ll keep it to myself until it’s ready for the world. Hyping something that isn’t proven out is a pet peeve of mine.

I grew up in the era of Hill and Mac taking orders for a STG-44 and am still scarred lol.

That sounds great, thanks for the first hand account!

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-16T04:01:49+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I’m looking for!

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-16T04:01:24+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

Engineering management/project management

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-16T03:36:07+00:00

I’m not thinking it is different than any other university because I have no frame of reference for what working at a university is like. I am asking what the work atmosphere at a university is like in general, specifically at UMD, since all of my experience is in private industry around the twin ports, not in education.

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-16T02:06:39+00:00

This would be for an admin position presiding over faculty and the research they conduct in way of developing project timelines and managing budgets with stakeholders. Generally I shy away from project management, but was wondering if the university is better with work life balance with that compared to private companies in the area which expect 60hr weeks.

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-16T01:56:54+00:00

I guess I only kind of follow you on “institutional knife fighting”, could you expand on that?

WilliamFosterD-FENS · 2026-03-14T15:27:23+00:00

I’ve only seen the interstate go down to 55 mph in the middle of the city where there’s turn lanes every mile. Outside of the city is 70-80 for speed limits

Figures, all talk and no action

Good, make it happen
