@mrhockeyusa11 Goat is the widest presumed animal in the world.

Well I just finished mowing my yard it only cost $35 in gas. What a bargain 😳🙃. Goats are sounding better everyday 😂🤣😂

@aprilteniade @RightWingJewess @splcenter It’s going to be a marathon 🏃‍♂️😥

@usedanapp @RightWingJewess @splcenter 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 But they are off to a slow start.

With the @splcenter indictments, are we trusting Todd Blanche more?

@cynical11b Great read

Gun stuff 7, of a series Caliber systems of naming, short version, ... ain't one Note: this is a 10 level discussion. I am doing this one by request, to help someone I like. It will be macro, and not in the weeds. Okay, the very first thing to remember is "We don't talk about Fight Club!"....oops sorry, wrong speech... There is not one universal naming convention for cartridges, there are dozens. They depend as much on where and when you are, as much as who. Say I develop my own round, marginally different from anyone else's. It is a metallic rimmed case, necked (gets smaller at the front) and shoots a .381 diameter bullet. I sell this design to Hornady, on condition they call it .38 Turgid Member. Marketing, oddly, doesn't like ".38 Turgid Member" as a name, so they get their lawyers and they find a loophole in the contract, so the name is changed to .38 Eliminator. Europe likes their own way of doing things, so for European sales, it is repackaged as 9.7x56, as the brass cartridge case is 56mm long. A real world example of this is .380, which is 9mm Kurz (Short) in the rest of the world. It is also 9x17 in Europe, confused yet? But it gets worse, let's say I developed this case in 1891, the black powder era. In America at that time, it was common (but not exclusive) to name cartridges after the bullet diameter (.381) and the typical number of grains of black powder in the cartridge case, so it would have been 38-60. Now, add the US military into the mix. They want to name things too. They develop a cartridge for their world beating new rifle, the M1903 Springfield, 30-03, meaning a .30 caliber cartridge developed in 1903. Exactly fifteen minutes after that, some jerk off develops boat tailed Spitzer bullets, and "Scratch that, it's the 30-06." This is about cartridge naming conventions so I'm skipping all of the firearms development stuff. Now, if you are famous enough, you can name your new bullets what ever you like. John Moses Browning didn't use his own name (mostly), he used what was rational to him, .45 acp (Automatic Colt Pistol) for instance. Sometimes, even company loses control of what they name a new cartridge. In 1895, Winchester released the .30 Winchester Center Fire cartridge to capitalize on the new smokeless powder. Most people who reloaded still used black powder, and called it by the historical convention they knew, and the round was forevermore known as the 30-30. Shotguns are another rabbit hole, even more arcane. "Gauge" is determined by how many led balls of the barrel inner diameter equal one pound in weight. 12 balls=12 gauge. Now, are you ever going to attempt to shoot a pound of lead balls out of a shotgun? Probably not twice, no. So... 10 gauge-extra big 12 gauge-big 16 gauge- kinda big 20 gauge-medium 28 gauge- small .410 (actually 67 gauge) anomalous random number designed to destroy your mental well being, think "And sometimes ",Y"" There's tons more nuance in this, it is very nearly its own language. The fortunate bit is that MOST times, the caliber is stamped ( in some form) on the firearm, most commonly the barrel. To be continued...

@Hawkesbay69 Fortran!

I remember

Alan Dershowitz this evening joined the Republican Party. I call on all Jewish Democrats to leave the antisemitic Democrats and join the Republicans.

@Manatee4547 @rewind1nonly @EllenFL214 @PMalkemes85443 I hope you brought his membership card. Hey Joe, do you follow back?

@YoAdrienne1968 Carter should’ve turned it into a radioactive sandbox back in 79.

Can we just make Iran that golf course now? 🙏🏻

@mrhockeyusa11 If it leads to Iran being wiped off the face of the Earth, I’ll pay extra.

I have to get gas on way home. I might have to remortgage my house to pay for Ffs 😳😬🤣😂

@bearszn @MaryAnnAhernNBC They will never be able to top the offer from Indiana. The Bears don’t need to become a Cook county cash cow. It would raise taxes on everyone in that area. Let the citizens vote. 🗳️ checks IDs

Illinois House Democrats held a caucus meeting on the megaprojects bill that would give the Bears property tax certainty for Arlington Heights and made “huge progress” with a floor vote expected this week, per @MaryAnnAhernNBC Nothing official yet, but there is finally some momentum for the Bears & Arlington Heights. 👀

@LindaHamlett19 It resets the clock on how long he can use the military. This is why

@conservfam7 The cease-fire resets the clock on how long he can use the military.

So Now democrats are outraged because Trump extended the Ceasefire! You can’t make this shyt up!

Mall chair massage sounded like a good idea today… until that roller went straight for my cooch like it had a personal vendetta 😳 I was not emotionally or physically prepared for that level of aggression. Pretty sure I left with trust issues. 0/10 for surprise attacks. Proceed with caution, friends.
