I can’t believe Politico - in a matter-of-fact way - put the “Trump could ruin the economy at lightspeed” news under the crypto stuff.

Excellent punchline.

I agree. It’s an odd name. In any case - three brothers with the surname Meiselas founded it. And their mother’s maiden name was Golden.

The group name and slogan come from their mother and father, combining their surname and their mother’s maiden name, Golden, alluding to the mythological Greek king Midas known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.

It’s a shitty SEO article title to get clicks and pageviews.

Nine Republicans abstained from the vote. […] House Republicans on Tuesday blocked a Democratic attempt to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, with zero Republicans supporting the measure. The final vote was 211 to 210. One Republican with a spine would have tipped the scale and given the American people greater transparency on the Epstein saga.

I just watched this - SUPER RARE CA-09 Coil Accelerator FULL REVIEW and Target Range DEMONSTRATION! Best Coil Gun 2022! I hate the way the guy talks IT’S LIKE ALL CAPS AND ITALICS! MAYBE WITH SOME BOLDING TOO, BRO!

But the vid along with the other vid did make me wonder why I’ve never seen a zombie movie with unrealistic but filmic solar-powered coilguns that were super-high powered.

A comment

The year is 2052 and a now late 60’s Ian is regaling how after the apocalypse there was a period when powder weapons reigned supreme until ammunition ran out, then the weapon you could power from the sun and would fire almost any chunk of steel came into its own and became the weapon of choice!

in the end some kind of “boosted” coilgun may never be needed if we get those solid state high density batteries.

I don’t understand. I changed the order. “If we get those solid state high density batteries - boosted coilguns may never be needed because…” I don’t know how to end the sentence.

I’ll leave this here…

What ever happened to caseless ammunition? Did they just give up on it? - r/guns

Is this (roughly) accurate?..

It’s very expensive, hard to make(yes even these days), and would require a complete rework of firearms design which no army would ever do. And the militaries of the world are mostly what drive firearm design, like it or not. Basically what I’m saying is it wasn’t worth the money and time it’d take to make them a thing on any kind of large scale. And our firearms technology hasn’t advanced nearly as much as people like to believe, almost all firearms tech we have today is decades old and all the modern firearms industry did was apply new manufacturing techniques to make it more reliable.

So has firearms tech basically hit its peak until we reach either lasers or rail guns and everything else is just making what we have lighter, stronger and easier to make?

Yes. Caseless ammo only be in incremental improvement, sure it would save some weight but it’s fragile and fragile is a problem for military applications. Caseless ammo is next to useless for civilians considering the extreme cost and since the weight savings don’t matter much. Firearms have peaked, at most you’re squeaking out a tiny difference here or there.

I don’t know what that is.

Is that a kind of railgun?

Trump: “Stop saying slaves. They are getting paid to keep Her new shiny gold color - the best shiny and the best gold. It’s a good job for them. They should like it. America is now more Strong and Powerful. She shows that. So new name - Trump Lady.”

His hogs start oinking louder than yelling.

I actually edited out the URL link when I realized a sign-in was needed. But I was an idiot. I forgot to double check. If there’s a thumb and you remove the URL - it doesn’t actually get removed. After you click “save” the URL is still there.

It’s a shame life doesn’t have an edit function.

It made perfect sense to me until I realized it made no sense at all. That happens to me more often than I’d like. But very good news is that I’m not a engineer and I also don’t operate heavy machinery,
