I doubt there are many handloaders on Mastodon, but just in case: folks frustrated with the attempt to revive #GRT after Gordon&#39;s unfortunate passing might find the Ballistics Swiss Knife useful. It has already replaced GRT in my use case. I feed published load data from #Hodgdon, #Lyman, #Lee, #Hornady, etc, to BSK. If the estimated pressures and FPS line up I modify the load with my specific barrel lengths, projectiles, and charge weights. Make a ladder and chrono. Disclosure...

French &quot;stock car&quot; racing is CHAOS and I&#39;m here for it. I once saw a race where within the first (comically short) lap one car was upside down on top of another, and the squished car was still piloting around the track with the other car on it. I&#39;ve never seen racing where the roll cage was so immediately and frequently in use. https://youtu.be/-dxFWdHt1YQ?si=5PILBrDW-It8f0C2&amp;t=232

RE: https://mastodon.social/@lawfare/116692527106820264 &gt; The net result of these three messages is a nonzero, and potentially high, probability that the U.S. military (either federalized National Guard troops or active duty) will be present at or near polling sites this November. Q. How did you [wreck the Republic]? A. Two ways,” [the citizens] said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Watched two films worth recommending recently: * Redux Redux - low budget sci-fi/revenge story. The main actor is the sister of the directors but I can't imagine a better pick for the lead. She carries the film. * Project Hail Mary - funnier, more emotional, and more buddymovie than I would have thought, perhaps manipulatively so. But it was a fun watch and I'm generally not a fan of popcorn movies.

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tomjennings/116455137895959590 shades of: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credo_quia_absurdum * the complicity of marks in the con: _the Big Con_ by Maurer * MAGA as kayfabe, the luring of the previously-disengaged pro wrestling audience into right wing politics. A kind of modern Southern Strategy but for the gullible mouthbreathers rather than habitual racists (not that they can&#39;t intersect)

@r4ven@mast.eu.org Bless you, kind linux user.

RE: https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/116477146974613630 I worry that the base /can't/ walk away because they've made MAGA their identity. It does look like some Trump-voting independents are starting to see the scam.

During my hiring interview for TxDOT in 2011 I proposed this kind of solution to ID road problems proactively. I don&#39;t remember if they laughed out loud but the idea was not well received. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/actual-smart-fix-how-waymo-and-waze-are-tackling-potholes-san-francisco

In case it helps anyone else: I've been off mastodon a couple days because the pages wouldn't render (were #blank)I . The console showed several "failed to find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for resource... with computed SHA-384 integrity... The resource has been blocked" errors. Guessing that it was comparing to some cached data I deleted the #cache and that fixed it.
