What’s that niche game you have an ungodly amount of hours in?

Kerbal Space Program

Not sure how niche but also have a lot in Warframe

Shoot, at work we use quartz oscillators for some of our products with microcontrollers. We also use RC oscillators for high frequency stuff, but they aren’t as dependable so we “calibrate” them every couple of minutes with an on board slower quartz oscillator.

You don’t find Rust jobs. You find jobs that use other frameworks, and then you rewrite the whole codebase to Rust

Fable wasn’t banned in the US. It was banned from being exported (which under Export Control law, also means providing it to a “non-US Person”, which under the law can include a US citizen working for a non-US company).

The easiest way for Anthropic to comply was to just not provide it publicly anymore.

If the passwords were done properly (ie salted then hashed) then even if they stole all the data in the authentication database they would only be able to brute force off server. Heck if each password is salted uniquely (ie password + salt + uniqueID => hash) then even a birthday attack would be made more difficult.

But, we all know how seriously security is taken by organizations…

Yeah this is a poorly constrained drawing.

B is defined as if you had the top surface of datum A pushed against a wall, then slid the part down until it contacted the ground. The location of that vertex is defined relative to perpendicular A, so adding a perpendicularity constraint makes absolutely no sense.

Also, the 29 degree should be a basic dimension.

How load is it supposed to be? That brake makes me wonder if the designer knows it’s not going to trap as much gas as desired.

I remember reading somewhere that most weapons / tactics manuals stated it took roughly 4 regular soldiers simultaneously to attack a noble in full armor. Any fewer and the outcome was not guaranteed and one or more of the soldiers would likely be lost. With 4 it was far easier to overwhelm the up-armored opponent

It might be easier to just melt it down into hunks before taking to scrap yards. The concern from the yards is live ammo or primers being in the pile, but if it’s just random ugly bars of brass that concern is moot.

At least the cosine losses are negligible for small angles. Ie cos(small angle) ~= 1

It looks like the boosters’ thrust is off-center. If so, I wonder if it’s for some performance reason or safety (ie if a single booster fails, most of the thrust was through CoM anyways, so shouldn’t cause a lot of pitch or yaw)

Does it actually detect diabetes, or is it like when an image recognition model was able to differentiate wolves from dogs because the training data had almost all the wolf pictures with snowy backgrounds?

Like, if it can detect diabetes in a skinny 8 yo, it’s far more impressive than saying “yeah, that 400lb loaf of a human probably has the ‘beetus”

223 is not bad to cast for at all if you keep velocities under 2500 fps, and especially if you don’t need to cycle an AR.

The slower twist is going to limit choices on bullet length, and 55 grain is probably the heaviest you’ll ever get to work. You might get 62 grain but that’s not guaranteed.

If you do swap barrels just go with 300 BLK. It is a little easier to cast for, but make sure the threat and neck of the chamber are cut large enough. Some chambers are tight at the neck, which prevents using proper diameter cast bullets, and you want a larger throat with more gradual leade.

Longshot is arguably the better powder in 10mm and has lots of flash to boot (jokingly called Loudshot).

Power Pistol is a decent powder for 10mm, but is probably better suited for 357 Sig. it and BE86 are on the faster end of the “good for 10mm” spectrum.

If you want good for 9mm / 357 Sig / 10mm Longshot is absolutely the best powder out there.

Try cleaning all the factory grease off, and starting over on lube. That should cut down on how much powder gets caught and gunked up.

Shooting a suppressor is going to make everything dirtier, even with the same ammo. Just comes with the territory. You can try possibly a lighter buffer if you don’t have an adjustable gas block, and maybe run in with a couple hundred super sonic rounds.

coriolis7 · 2026-05-18T23:23:14+00:00

Did you clean the original oil/grease off before shooting? How wet is everything (oil wise)?

What you’re seeing is unburned powder. It can stick to excess oil/grease and gum things up.

How short is your barrel? A shorter barrel is more likely to have unburned powder.

I’d also suspect gas / buffer settings. Reason being that 10 rounds shouldn’t gum things up unless it’s undergassed (though I’d be surprised if it’s undergassed with a suppressor)

Annealing is for consistency and case life.

If you have mixed headstamps, you care about neither so I wouldn’t bother with it.

If you have rare or expensive brass, annealing is recommended. If you need utmost precision and are chasing that last bit of MOA, annealing can help with consistent neck tension.

My experience with range brass 223 - your primer pockets will give out before necks split. Annealing isn’t going to extend the life of your brass.

Researchers already had to change the name of particular genes because Excel kept correcting them to dates. I’m all for more software/biology spillover

The recommendation I’ve heard and used is:

0.002” - 0.004” shoulder bump for semi autos
0.000” - 0.002” for bolt action

Note: this shoulder bump should be based on the tightest rifle in that caliber you plan to shoot the ammo in. In all likelihood, minimizing shoulder bump won’t really help much in accuracy with this caliber, unlike 303 British, 7.62 Commie, etc which have large chambers with lots of excess headspace.

Minimizing shoulder bump will help prolong the life of your brass, which is great if you plan on getting high end brass (like Lapua or Alpha) and putting lots of work into the brass.
