  • So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

    Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

    What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

    Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

    I’ve heard many times that revolvers or semi-auto have less recoil than the other, hence the question about slide mass/energy, as the only element I could see being different which could possibly explain why people hold this opinion.

    Do you know of any actual metrics/tests done that show this clearly? Or is it just a perception issue?

    (And yea, we’d have to agree on a definition of what we’re measuring/comparing). Do any gun magazines run proper tests occasionally to make comparisons?

    I admit my physics classes were a long time ago, but at first glance it seems felt recoil would only be marginally different between a revolver and a pistol using the same round. If anything, I’d expect the revolver to have a greater felt recoil, given the mechanics of a pistol… But I could very well be wrong.





  • Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.

    So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.

    If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.
