@Chaosyn I've see -_- I'm just glad this weekend will be warm enough for me to try my 3D prints again without it failing from cold lol

@basedartdept Don't look at the forecast for next week.. Rollercoaster..

Lord, please let tomorrow be a very productive day in the shop. No more strange illnesses, no hours of freezing temps and power loss, just good work getting done. Amen.

@DonalTDeLay Definitely looks better without that weird blurry wall texture abomination

I like the b/w so much more than the shitty color version.

My lord, I would read this lol

PATENT BREAKDOWN: US 2,056,975. INVENTOR: Charles J. Michal Jr. WHEN: 1934. STATUS: Expired. Charles describes a repeat reset mechanism for the Browning 1911. The patent was filed before a machine gun was defined in the National Firearms Act, which is why he calls it a "machine gun and convertor therefor," as there was no legal definition for a machine gun at the time. The system is similar to the Super Safety, and about as simple: See Fig. 2. The cam (red) is contacted and rotated counterclockwise by the slide as it moves rearward, this moves the pin (green) forward against the trigger bar (blue, see Fig. 1) moving the trigger forward against the trigger finger. The pin continues to hold the trigger forward until the slide completes its cycle, at which point the cam is free to rotate back allowing the trigger to be pulled again. The patents own words are: "The trigger 23 fires the piece as before. But, the instant that recoil takes place, the lower edge of the slide 12 engages the cam 28 of the converter 27, thus rotating it counter-clockwise, and forcing the pin 29 forward. This motion of the pin forces the trigger forward against the pressure of the trigger-finger of the man..." And "The pin 29 holds the trigger inoperative against the pressure of the trigger-finger. But, the instant that counter-recoil is completed, the cam 28 is free to move upward again, and consequently the pressure of the trigger-finger immediately again discharges the piece."

Confirmed: Iran took out America's most dangerous weapon.

@KatyDidClips My own Grandfather dealt with dementia before he passed so that was really hard to watch. I'm glad he is getting to enjoy all his memories and faculties in heaven now though.

@basedartdept So true. ❤️🙏

Today's been kinda rough tbh. Saying good bye to a great man that welcomed and love me unconditionally. Someone who was a great grandpa to my babies, who they will miss dearly as well. The internet can be a very rough place. So take time to spend with your loved ones and family as much as you can. Because we are never guaranteed tomorrow, so live like its your last day on earth. Im thankful I spent time with my family. They are the greatest support system you can have. For those who have lost a loved one, stay strong, for you are never alone. R.I.P to my Father in Law Robert. We will miss you so much, but will see you soon, and what a great reunion that will be in heaven. I wanna share this song to everyone. This is what our family harmony sounds like. "I wanna go home"
