Booze.

I have huge chunks of memories missing and that ain’t exactly a bad thing for my older, and sober, self. (Sometimes I still get flashbacks of blurry memories and it is very anxiety inducing. Booze memories are weird and were written to some corrupt cells or something that only pop back up under strange conditions.)

Corruption is actually a feature in this case. Most of that cash is actually pumped directly into local economies. /s

Let me rub it in then… ;)

That is Sarah Connor from Terminator 1

For anyone wondering, that’s Sarah Connors dream from Terminator 2 right before the city gets nuked.

Eat a bag of dicks.

A Russian RPG detonates on impact or with a timer. The correct distance from the hull is a built-in factor of the warhead.

You are presenting data that wasn’t relevant to the topic and you didn’t read the full paragraph, it seems.

Are you done being a jackass now or don’t you understand that what makes a turtle tank the way it is, is the extra armor placed further away from the main hull?

Maybe RPGs, if the distance of the plate was far enough away from the main hull of the tank. The blast from shaped charges in RPGs can dissipate fairly quick once it has gone through one bit of armor, so, it needs to detonate against the actual tank hull itself so the jet of molten copper has a higher chance to give a big hug to one of the shells in storage.

But an AT missile? Highly unlikely it will be stopped. It’s probably also going to have a shaped charge, but it will be much more powerful than an RPG and could penetrate multiple layers of armor. A top-down trajectory is also more likely where actual tank armor would be the weakest. (There are multiple types of anti tank missiles and some can be set for different attack trajectories.)

Turtle tanks may or may not still have an active main gun. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be carrying any live shells so crew survival rate should be a touch higher depending on where the missile strike happens.

When I use it, I use it to create single functions that have known inputs and outputs.

If absolutely needed, I use it to refactor old shitty scripts that need to look better and be used by someone else.

I always do a line-by-line analysis of what the AI is suggesting.

Any time I have leveraged AI to build out a full script with all desired functions all at once, I end up deleting most of the generated code. Context and “reasoning” can actually ruin the result I am trying to achieve. (Some models just love to add command line switch handling for no reason. That can fundamental change how an app is structured and not always desired.)

I agree with the comments on this forum (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mushrooming-22-lr-case-heritage-rough-rider.891807/) that the cylinder could have a machining defect. (Basically a headspace issue, also but kinda not. The cartridges are sitting too deep in the cylinder itself.)

If there is room for the brass to get pushed back far enough for it to mushroom out, something is seriously wrong. The issue could manifest from a machining error as small as 5-10 thou, I am speculating.

My first thought was excessive chamber pressure, but the bulging would be much worse around and behind the rim itself if that were the case.

The bullet and the brass get pushed in opposite directions and if the brass can move, it will move before it deforms. If it deforms, it’ll deform at the weakest spot first, like we see in your pic. (Excessive chamber pressure tends to expand the brass and lock it in place. With center-fire, it’ll blow the primers out or have a hole punched in them from the firing pin first. With rim fire, the pressure pushes back on the rim.)

Also, check for excessive slop with the cylinder. If it can move forwards and backwards too much, that could also telling of issues with other parts of the gun. (Like I mentioned before, it doesn’t take much for a gun to be out of spec enough to cause issues with brass.)

Uh, the cat says its 9:15.

Could be as simple as a sensor. If there are other engine codes, that could mean a bigger issue. The obvious first steps are to check if the cat is actually still there or if wires to the sensors are damaged.

Catalytic converters can last a long time unless combustion issues or other serious engine problems are ignored. TBH, catalytic converter codes are generally just a symptom of something else. So, do as detailed of an inspection as you can for any wiring damage or leaks. If you have any leaks, try your best to identify the kind of fluid it is. Maybe you can get a hint about what else is going on.

Combustion control is horrendously complex, so it could be any number of things from bad spark plugs to a malfunction in the EGR system. Any information you can gather about the problem now may save you some time and money later.

(I dunno if you know anything about cars, but I just covered the basics, just in case.)

I doubt he got bored. That mechanical hand probably felt like someone else’s until the nerves fully adjusted.

(The correctly used double negative was confusing for me at first, btw.)

You make a very interesting point I haven’t ever thought about before.

While I have always considered myself a patriot to a mild degree, I never associated it with tribalism directly. Even with the many faults of all countries, it’s OK to be proud of where you are from. (It does make perfect sense that tribalism is the end goal of state sponsored patriotism though.)

In my mind, the fine line after patriotism was usually nationalism where tribalism runs deep and hate-based rhetoric becomes extremely effective. The definition of a patriot is somewhat twisted at that point. (ie: unless you believe [insert something random], you aren’t actually a patriot and therefore an enemy of the state.)

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with you, btw. Your perspective is something interesting to think about, s’all. (I am leaning on the agreement side, FWIW.)

(For the people reading this that may not realize that I am using the word “nationalism” in a negative context, I am. If that chaps your hide still, replace it with ‘christian nationalism’ or ‘white nationalism’ and fuck off. Everyone else, sorry for the disclaimer.)

It’s “cheaper” from a margin perspective. They can still apply a standard margin on the milk and have the price be less because of the ~500% markup on the sodas. (Admittedly, you have to twist your brain a little to think this corporate accounting is the slightest bit logical.)

If they applied the same margin to the milk, people would go batshit crazy.

But to clarify, I was initially assuming these were school style boxed milks where the raw costs could be comparable. The actual reason the milk is cheaper was price fuckery.

I just edited the post above after I did a price check. The retail price of the milk was more than a dollar cheaper and the milk is likely going to be even cheaper due to wholesale pricing and less delivery risk.

Now the question is, why only a $0.31 discount?

It depends on the serving of milk. If it’s a larger sized milk or juice, it’s going to be more expensive like you say. If it’s a school sized box, the total cost should be much less. Small drink boxes can be had for < $0.20 wholesale depending on your location, which should challenge the total cost of a fountain drink. (Total cost is raw materials + employee time + delivery overhead and other factors.)

There isn’t a specific source for this other than googling a bit for wholesale school milk prices. The rest is just estimates for normal business and delivery overhead.

Edit: I saw the size of the milk you just posted for another comment. The cheapest retail price I saw for that was $1.50. Locally, the cost of a Culvers fountain drink is $2.59 for me.

Prepackaged kids drinks like milk or apple juice should be slightly lower in cost, take less time to include with a meal and are less prone to spillage in transit. The total cost for delivery is going to win even if the raw cost for the beverage is similar. (Milk and apple juice boxes are likely near zero profit and is already manufactured at brain numbing scales for schools already.)

Edit: OP just posted a picture of the milk and it isn’t school box sized. I did some price checks and the milk a dollar cheaper at retail pricing. ($1.50 vs $2.59)

The required drink is at a fixed base price. The price difference is because those drinks are cheaper, not healthier. (They likely come pre-boxed which likely reduces overall cost.)

Sugar-milk health benefits are probably subject to debate and apple juice is basically sugar water.
