Me in the parking lot of Lowes as I recognize that the GODDAMN ALTERNATOR has failed in my Honda, thinking of yet another GODDAMN EXPENSE because of the world we fucking live in, just scream crying while waiting for the tow (40 minutes)

Foucault would have recommended Monarchial Punishment as well! Preventive public displays of the torture and execution of criminals! #achewood #foucault

I know someone in an interracial marriage putting up VOTE NO signage for the Virginia state constitution Amendments on the ballot, and one of the Amendments is guaranteeing that interracial marriage is a civil liberty in the state. So they are pretty dumb.

Back and shoulder killing me this morning. Woke up in this position with the cats sprawled out boxing me in on both sides.

I have certainly hit people with "I have been in the position where I was glad I had a gun on my person so you will never, ever, convince me I don't need one." before. Yes I realize that at this point we're heading into struck by lightning twice territory, but still.

In McCellans defense he understood organization and logistics, Whiskey Pete does not understand either of those things.

Mike the computer in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" regretted that he was unable to get drunk, thinking that maybe the sensation was like an unimportant short in the circuit somewhere.

Honestly if I do 5.7 rifles it'll either be a P90 or that insane Keltec one, not "an AR-15, but with 5.7"

I had to go to the "out of the loop" subreddit and it's so insane it almost could not be made up. Lesbian bar in MA is being harassed because they loosened mask restrictions on Saturdays since they are having money flow problems. The details are where the real insanity comes from tho.

It is in part why I said "adjacent" as well, think Scott Adams types. Or maybe the consultants in Office Space who don't understand why there would be an intermediary between the customer and engineering team.

Well, I was a Linux admin for many years until I got my Masters and changed careers, so I simply believe that people who use GUI operating systems should be hunted for sport since they are obviously barely sapient animals.

Yeah he made Stuart Slade a Horny Gay Guy With A Big Dick in a book because he dragged Kratmans Waffen-SS fetish whenever given the chance on message boards in the 00s.

There is a certain calibre of engineer/engineering adjacent person who thinks that history is rivet counting and commiting Osprey books to memory, therefore it's easy. Saying this as someone who has a whole pile of them!

I don't want to make civic arguments about history. I don't want to make instrumentalist arguments about history. I want engineers to understand my discipline is rigorous too and if not I want to be able to make fun of them forever because no historian ever built a bridge that broke in the wind.

I really was going to get the P250 and straight up they got rid of it right as I had settled on spending the money on it. Missed one with that, guess they shouldn't have just tried to turn a hammer fired gun into a striker one with no T&E.

Also legitimately glad that they are sticking with P320 mags, not the least because I have been eyeballing a 2011 and really one that takes Glock or P320 mags are the only one I am considering. Got to handle a P211, it is nice.

I have two lol One is old enough that I sent it in for the drop safe "upgrade" and the other is a performance shop FCU which has never been reported to have a uncommanded discharge. +That said+ the former is a Flux host and the latter is something I, like, wear at a carbine course not chambered.

Islay Scotch Socialist @gruntyginman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I mean this thing is 💯 a P320 replacement since they can't figure out how to fix it. Prob they can't say that out loud tho

Islay Scotch Socialist @gruntyginman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

P385s at the Sig Academy -a FCU based on the P365 -no parts interchangeable with P320 other the mags "Not a P320 replacement" Has a safety dingus in the trigger(like a Glock), not readily visible but it is there #guns

If this is in reference to the "we gotta slow it down it'll kill us" I would bet any amount of money that it's actually an illegal cartel agreement without saying it is to try to manipulate earnings expectations and push for transparency/regulations that will kill small AI companies but not them.
