    This silhouette feels like it’s stolen from every major gun, but isn’t an actual AR. That upper is closer to an AK slant at the rear and the forward barrel shroud is odd. Although I’ve seen some magpul esque 3rd party stuff.

    That said, 5.56 is a round I’d be switching off of for everyone else. It’s ubiquitous, but the military is switching away from it due to body armor resistance to 5.56. Now .308 and 300 black out… most of the gun nuts all agree that the best bugout bag gun is an FN-FAL. Excellent stopping power, highly accurate, controllable, and has some great built-in features that make it perfect for survival on the front lines.



  • I actually think regulation is how we got them, but not in a known bad way. Originally car headlights had little to no standards, but eventually people realized they’re important to safety and so testing started happening to ensure that headlights met a minimum safety rating. The problem is that the testing was done from the drivers seat, and based on light projection in front of the vehicle rather than taking into account other humans looking toward it. I’ve been a big proponent of LED lights that dim when stopped or slowing, and even halogen/ultra dim lights for city driving, and keeping LEDs for brights. LEDs have really made a lot of brights basically useless, but the brightness, and harshness of color temperature is absolutely detrimental to other drivers.







  • I love how you’re claiming misinformation while posting misinformation. It’s not the CEO, it’s a board member. That said, the company also officially posted these ideas on their Bluesky account.

    This isn’t a “CEO” expressing a belief, it’s the board, and now the official company line.

    I’m not disagreeing with their post particularly on corporate dems, but this is a company and not a persons sole belief.

    Also, if dems are the party of big business then why are all these big businesses donating to Trump? Does that just mean republicans are the party of even bigger business?










  • It’s a catch-22 though. Like, if I get out of my car for 5 minutes with it off then it just heats up to 1000 degrees. I get that the idea of quickly going in and walking out is nice, and I would honestly prefer to not have it at all (yay for just making coffee at home). However for us in incredibly hot climates it isn’t something I ever try to do. It’s 107 out today, 5 minutes with my car off turns it into like 135 on the inside. Of course all of this just adds more to emissions. Which is all of the problem….


  • The cost of living is lower in Canada? That’s gotta be a new one. Literally everybody in Canada complains about how the cost of living there is skyrocketing. Their home prices are worse than Cali. I was just up there in 2021 and it was pennys on the dollar for me with exchange rates, but stuff was definitely expensive up there compared to even Cali where I’m from. The only thing cheaper is healthcare and schooling but that’s just subsidized.
