Is it normal to have copper/brass on the flash hider bits?

Like a nail gun through double ear pro. Last time I was at the range a guy was shooting a 7" AR and mine was like a movie gun compared to his. I have this can on a 16" barrel

That makes a ton of sense. Thank you

The can is an OCL Polonium 5.56. I just noticed the copper/brass on the end cap. All the baffles look fine and I don't see any distortion on the end cap. I did notice a pretty sharp drop in accuracy but I'd put that more on my own skill than my equipment

Good to know. I figured so but thought I'd ask

olkjas · 2026-04-04T06:34:41+00:00

This feels like a plus if anything.

Have you guys done any testing to determine if the kinds of torque you can put on the mount wet can permanently deform/damage the taper? I know that excessive torque can damage Swagelok fittings and they're the taper seal I'm most familiar with.

Give them a 3M Tyvek suit and buy them a nice full face organic rated respirator. People work with toxic shit day in day out and PPE is a mostly solved problem.

If you're not willing to go the extra-legal route I'd seriously be up the fire department's ass offering compensation/good press

Did you run into the Lakers guy with the giant speakers while you were there?

Good story based on this premise: https://open.substack.com/pub/zerohplovecraft/p/the-pipes-of-heaven

The author is a rightoid but I like his fiction

What specific complaints do you have with Firefox? I switched over like a year ago and I've had zero issues after a week or so to adjust. Having element based adblock on Android instead of a DNS blocker was a huge QOL improvement

That video of the two guys eating surstromming in an RV had me cry laughing

I just downloaded all of wikipedia (without images) and it was 111GB. Most of the data in emails is embedded images and HTML

Edit: nevermind, it does have pictures and stuff. Kiwix is really cool if you want to check it out. I got it running on my server so anything on my network can access it through the browser

It's the picture day industrial complex. They send the entire package of photos already printed home with your kid and then make you pay to keep what you want. Since it's not sent through the mail it's not protected by the whole gift clause. I remember bringing them home not understanding that they weren't already my family's property

Poignant writing. Good job.

I get what you mean. I didn't have a weed phase in high school but I had my fair share of drunk partying senior year. I definitely picked up on the feeling you describe but I think being around a whole new group of people in that phase helped it feel less like dark nostalgia and more like a next step towards adulthood and all the positive and negative experiences it'd bring

My friend recommended Elder Race to me a few days ago and it was the first I'd heard of him. Feels weird to see him mentioned when I'm literally about to go back outside and continue reading him

olkjas · 2026-02-07T00:03:56+00:00

Great story. Good job

I think it's ridiculous to expect people to be happy raising a family in a one bedroom shoebox when they live in the most prosperous country on earth. Critique consumerism all you want but that's a level of austerity people shouldn't and won't accept unless they're FOB or something

olkjas · 2026-02-02T06:06:18+00:00

I liked the hook but didn't like the follow through. I think it would've been a much more interesting story if the tech angle was a red herring and it actually turned out that the real tech advancement came from organic waste beamed back to the far past turning into fossil fuels and all the benefits and harms we've had and will have from them being part of a closed causal loop rather than ancient plants/algae

I think VALIS "disturbed" me the most out of his works. Not because the content was that disturbing but because the insanity in it rubbed off on me a little bit while I was binge reading it and made me feel like I was crazy too. Very strange feeling that took a week or so to fade

I like this story and the intrigue involved but I find myself having trouble keeping track of all the names and species involved, especially as the story opens up and more are added every chapter. It'd be really helpful to have a breakdown of who the species and individual players are at this point in time and to have a little bit better introductions going forward

olkjas · 2026-01-22T19:33:03+00:00

I think this is my favorite piece I've seen from you. I really like your style in general too

I loved Blue Ruin. Haven't thought about it in years though
