@krrawn @ArmedJ0y In the future when the rule is adopted, assuming it doesn’t change between now and then, if you make a Form 1 can from a Form 4 can, you won’t need to add any additional markings. You’ll be able to update your ancient cans with modern internals. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-08915.pdf

Hey @ArmedJ0y you actually read lawyer slop. Did the markings requirements change for F1 cans?

@Devon_Eriksen_ That’s a lot of words to say that F. Scott Fitzgerald is the most overrated author of all time.

Most appreciation of "great art" is a performance. People are very, very susceptible to "if you didn't appreciate it, it went over your head". Whether that something is a $100K bottle of wine that tastes like Two-Buck Chuck, improvisational jazz that sounds like someone turned on an orchestra and walked away, or the... unique... style of David Foster Wallace doesn't make much of a difference. These sorts of "refined" tastes are actually just unusual tastes. They are in the same category as really, really liking model trains, or birdwatching. Except people who like birdwatching don't run elaborate psyops to convince everyone that birdwatchers are intellectually superior and more sophisticated. They just buy expensive binoculars and get on with doing what they like to do. But some people with niche tastes in art seem to need to proselytize them to others. And a lot of weak-willed people go along with it. They wouldn't want to look dumb, now would they? Well, I don't go for that. I think that the greatest obstacle to learning is the fear of looking stupid. And I'm particularly not impressed by things that have a reputation as "great literature", but are dull and opaque to the average reader. Writing is my thing, see, and that means I have an easy time remembering that the purpose of writing is to communicate. Not everything is going to appeal to 100% of everyone, but if your writing is opaque or boring to all but a few, you cannot, by definition, be a great writer, because you just failed the basics of craftsmanship. Great woodworkers don't make sturdy furniture that's rough on the surface and full of splinters. They make chairs that are not only durable, but comfortable AND beautiful. Because if they are great, they can do all these things at once. If a book is boring, I set it down, instead of pretending that I had a hands-free orgasm because I am so super-duper-uber sophisticated that I can read the hidden messages in gibberish. Maybe there are hidden messages. Maybe I'm smart enough to see them if I bothered to look. But I don't. Because I don't care about any hidden message from a man too unskilled to wrap his message in an interesting story, or too contemptuous of his audience to try. So, no, I don't dislike Monet, I might even hang a print of something he did on my wall. But it's not a big deal to me, and not only can I probably not tell the difference between Monet and a good enough AI imitation, I don't even care enough to try. Which is an approach I highly recommend to others, unless they need to tape a banana to a wall for tax purposes.

The move is commencing

@SandyofCthulhu The prequels were good stories told poorly. The sequels were horrendous stories told horribly but with lots of lens flare.

There has been an attempt to gaslight people into thinking the Star Wars prequels were loved actually and it was just some nerds who brought it down. So here is a story. Ensemble Studios was full of nerds. For months before the film’s opening, we played the trailer on nonstop repeat on large screens in every hallway on the office. We all watched that trailer at least 100 times. We were so thrilled. 1/3

@baalzamon35 @L6_Underground You’re missing a grenade launcher and a masterkey.

Oh, I'm sorry. Does your non belt fed only have SOME attachments?!

@JoshuaBailey184 @ArmedJ0y No, HELL NO!

@ArmedJ0y I wonder if this could get us to a point where we can use NICS for private sales

And there it is, the one I am most interested in. Direct-to-home firearm sales. Reading through it now.

@anon_opin Stop saying stone and just say 14 pounds

I don't understand the point of using the term "dozen". It means 12, so just say 12? It's even worse when people say or type "half a dozen". Just say 6 or six.

Run into 7/11 for my daily caffeine intake and the clerk greets me with, “Good morning, how are you one-leg sir?” 😂

@ArthurClaudeen @lonewolfarms S&W 1013

This is a 1CM appreciators thread. Share your 1CM builds below to inspire us all Representing North Idaho with the @lonewolfarms frame from Priest River!

Test fit 200rd boxes in the new adapter. 4mm charging handle wrench on board too.

@ATFirearmsTTV There’s only one thing better than Pizza Huts personal pan pizza, and that’s two Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas.

Unpopular opinion... Pizza Hut personal pan pizza is the best pizza and I fully expect the hate I deserve for posting this. The original Pan Pizza is also a very close second and I'll fight you on this.

Excited for this

@chairmanwon It’s short for Elongated Muskrat

It's really strange that I've never even heard of anyone else called "Elon"

If you live in one of the states that just passed a ban that goes into affect this summer, @HydraWeaponry lowers are $50 and leave you with all the options. It’s not too late to stock up. hydraweaponry.com/product/hydra-…

I’ll be doing a small run of these to prototype and sending them out to a few of the people that got v1 adapters. After that I’ll do a production run, replace the remaining v1 adapters in the wild, then open up orders.

I'm in the process of moving back home to TX, so this is a few months out.  On board storage for a charging handle wrench, chute to clear dropped links, styled to match the upper, and no more trigger limitations.  Also compatible with all nutsacks, not just Tribe.

Most of my @TheBattlecock/@KM3Solutions collection. There’s a 2011 that I haven’t finished, and I may have forgotten a few.

@thecavedaddy @unfuck_the_usa I don’t venture to say that a modern crusade would be God’s will, but I have no doubt that it would be twisted by man regardless.

@thecavedaddy @unfuck_the_usa The crusades were most definitely twisted to enrich men, I have no delusions about that. That does not mean they were not God’s will. Had the Israelites committed the genocide they were called to, the crusades never would’ve happened.

Saw this on the instagram. Probably my biggest strength in growing my faith is separating myself from the crusader larp that many (self proclaimed) Christian’s appear to be infatuated with. You’re not called to be a crusader. You’re called to spread the gospel. Vengeance is the lords, not yours. You can dislike it, but that’s how it is.

@thecavedaddy @unfuck_the_usa I’m aware, and the best defense is offense. When you have an entire society that is hellbent on destroying yours, it’s best not to wait until they’re in your house. Violence, even offense, is not antithetical to Christianity.

@DremelSmith @unfuck_the_usa Crusading is not solely protecting. There was an offensive aspect of the crusades.
