Artificial Superintelligence "ASI"
I'm far more concerned about the implications to data provenance than I am about skynet. If you think the Mandela effect is crazy now, just wait. Undetectable information manipulation is wild.- Jacob74

Any EDC CCW'ers?
I feel the same way about calling anthropology or sociology a science as I do psychology. It's often practiced in an academically rigorous way, using the scientific method...but it isn't science, (at least as defined by bearing the five requirements of science). Deep down where they don't like...- Jacob74

Inform Me On Watch City Cigar, Ravenwood, And KBV.
I really like WCC Old Black Magic, and its mildly "latified" cousin, Nor'Easter. I also very much enjoy the WCC blend Persian slipper, which is a great all day smoke. All of my orders with WCC have been accurate, prompt, and safely packaged. 5/5 stars, will order again. I have no experience...- Jacob74

Glocks are as Generic as a 1911
I am not a gunsmith, but to my understanding those "rat trap" parts are constructed by metal injection molding, where metal powder and binder is injected into a mold and then heated until it is all solid. That allows for very complex parts to be created without (much) machining, vastly reducing...- Jacob74

It can definitely get a little hazy definitions wise. especially if you are always conceptualizing double action/single action in the paradigm of revolvers and hammers. Single action is easy to come to grips with. All the trigger pull does on a single action trigger is release the already...- Jacob74

Yes, Glocks are pre tensioned double action only striker actions, and taurus G2's are pre tensioned single action striker actions with a double action style "second strike" capability. No question they are different platforms. In my opinion, they feel like hot garbage in the trigger pull. I...- Jacob74
