I was having a conversation with a friend of mine this AM concerning the proliferation of new cartridges and we agreed that it is much like the heyday of the wildcats back in the 1920's-30's. Few of which survive today.

Yes and no, methinks. The new cartridges coming out now seem to be driven by a couple of things. One is Hornady's creation and support of these new calibers. Another is the many chamberings offered in/on the AR platform. I suspect that those uppers and the sales thereof will at least assure that they will hang around for awhile. Hard to say what will be around 80 years from now, but I suspect that the modern stuff has a better chance of survival based on sheer proliferation.

I don’t think I can do that with the AR platform….

If it doesn't scare you a little bit when you floor it, then it isn't fast enough.

It's a damned shame that in the struggle for character building, self-interest always seems to derail it. And sadder still is a big part of that, critical thinking gets pushed into the ditch in favor of seeking approval from the crowd.

We also often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally.

Whatever can be conceptualized is therefore relative, and whatever is relative is Sunya, empty. Since absolute inconceivable truth is also Sunya, Sunyata or the void is shared by both Samsara and Nirvana. Ultimately, Nirvana truly realized is Samsara properly understood.

A person with an IQ four standard deviations above the mean was an American electrical engineer named Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim. Maxim was an electrical engineer working for Thomas Edison. Maxim laid claim to inventing the lightbulb. It is possible that Maxim actually designed the lightbulb. Edison decided he did not want Maxim around any longer. Edison could not fire Maxim because he would only have to walk across the street and work for Westinghouse. Edison figured out how to legally banish Maxim from America and end his work in electricity. Maxim was paid $20,000 a year to go to Europe and agree to never touch anything to do with electricity again. $20,000 in 1890 would be equivalent of $643,000 today.

Maxim was one of the greatest geniuses of all time. Maxim held patents on numerous mechanical devices such as hair-curling irons, a mousetrap, and steam pumps. At the Paris Exhibition in 1881, a man told Maxim that if he wanted to make a fortune, he should invent a machine that would help these Europeans kill each other. Maxim had and idea of building a weapon that would keep firing as long as you pulled the trigger. Maxim perfected the design and sold a patent to England and to Germany. Maxim sold his machine gun patents to European countries on the eve of World War I, changing the nature of combat. The Maxim gun was used by both sides during WWI and millions died from being shot with Maxim guns. This caused trench warfare which caused its own problems.

What people expect to happen is always different from what actually happens. From this comes great disappointment; this is the way the world works.

Yeah, okay. Looks like it's easy to adjust for. Looking forward to shooting mine, for damn sure.


I was also eyeballing the 22 ARC for guns and games, as it looks to be a super 223.

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

What a Life!!!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sometimes we think that to develop an open heart, to be truly loving and compassionate, means that we need to be passive, to allow others to abuse us, to smile and let anyone do what they want with us. Yet this is not what is meant by compassion. Quite the contrary. Compassion is not at all weak. It is the strength that arises out of seeing the true nature of suffering in the world. Compassion allows us to bear witness to that suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, and to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal. To develop this mind state of compassion...is to learn to live, as the Buddha put it, with sympathy for all living beings, without exception.
