WA Examiner story about military preparing for civil war

I couldn't post the link but some retired general officers are urging the pentagon to have the military prepare for an insurrection or even a civil war depending on the outcome of the 2024 election. It goes on to say that the current serving members need to be vetted for their beliefs.
Hmmm...brown shirts coming?

Never been seen before.....by me.

Was sizing/trimming some 2X 5.56 brass on the S1050 using a Dillon Rapid Trim.

Brass is WCC 08.

Noticed this come out of the Trim die....

Die is set up to produce brass -.002 on a reading headspace mic....looks like this one came out at .0 or SAAMI spec.

This is more typical...

Don't think I am oversizing.

Think that one piece of brass portends a problem for the lot?

Rifle Scopes Next Scope Choice?

Planning to make another scope purchase in the coming months and stuck on which direction to go. Kinda wanting to try something new over what I already have and get a chance to evaluate another scope. Right now thinking of something in the 5-25 range and not looking to go TT money on this one but willing to hover around the $2k area. Want Mil based with not a huge concern on reticle options.

Currently own:
NF 4-16x42 (AR10 platform)
(2) ZCO 5-27 (comp rifles)
Mark5 3-18 (hunting rifle)
Mark6 3-18 (hunting rifle)

Previously Owned:
Kahles 624
Kahles 525
NF 7-35
Sig Tango 6 3-18
Several PST model Vortex

Considering:
Burris XTR3 5.5-30(want to see if it can hang with some of the other scopes that are price a little higher than it)
Mark5 5-25 (basically just big brother to what I have but a solid scope and could be fun on a big caliber hunting rifle)
Leica PRS 5-30 (My first nice scope was a simple Leica and this interests me to see how it stacks up to other "tactical" scopes)
Maven RS.4 5-30 (Can the DTC scope deliver or is it just marketing hype?)
Razor HD2 5-27 (rather old scope but still solid, not a Vortex fanboy at all, can I stomach owning one)

What scopes am I not thinking of that I should consider? Anyone have some insight to these scopes I am considering that can help me narrow down the search? Thanks.

SOLD WTS: Manners PRS 2 (Rem700sa/clone)

Hey all,

Still thinning down the stock herd. I no longer use this one, so it has to go! Bipod is not included, only what's listed.

Manners PRS 2 for Rem700/clone Short action
Elite Black and Blue/Carbon Fiber shell

Preferred penetrating lubricant?

I've got a stubborn barrel nut, looking to let it sit for a minute over the holidays. I can think of Kroil, Liquid Wrench and WD-40 offhand... what have you all had best success with? Stubborn in this case being 125 lb-ft indicated on the torque wrench (nut spec'd at 100) and haven't done much other than mar the tools and scrape up the nut - figure I should try smarter rather than just more unga bunga.

Tech nerds and online bot people of SH - Assemble!

Up for sale here is 1 (one) giant favor from your favorite German redeemable at a later date. No cash value.

What I need in exchange for this, is for someone thats all into programming bots that find/buy shit the second it comes in stock, to buy me a RTX3080 video card (10 or 12 GB, probably 10 as the extra 2GB seems not worth it) that I refuse to pay 4x MSRP for to some faggot in China or some lame ass ebay reseller.

Basically you find/snipe the card, I pay for it and owe you a big favor that you can redeem at a later date for valuable merchandise or something (or DirtyD's virginity).

Since we're on this, whats the best processor to run with these new cards since I need to upgrade both.

Amnesia? Or Something Else?

She went missing for a couple days and then shows up at her father's house and doesn't remember anything and doesn't want to talk about anything. On the local news a couple days ago they said that she didn't take anything with her. Keys, purse, money and credit cards and car were still at her place
They are still investigating so let the possibilities begin. If they update the investigation I will try and post it.

Stress on upper?

Which is better, bipod closer to the barrel nut or farther on a heavy scopes SPR, I’m thinking the bipod closer to the barrel nut for less strain/leverage on upper where the barrel and rail connects. Is it enough to matter, does barrel nut torque make a difference here?
As the mag empties it changes the weight/strain on the upper. A heavy scope makes things even worse. It might not even make a difference in group size. I need to get out and try it.

Wireless chargers for phones etc

So my mom and dad I'd say for pushing 80 are doing really well with today's tech. They are iPhone/iPad users and really don't have too many hiccups, but the one thing that still happens from time to time is they sit them on the counter and forget to charge. Well....that's become a more common theme 'oh my battery is about to tap out'. So as they always set the phones down in the same place on the kitchen counter hey why not a wireless 'forget it' charging station?

If you have had good luck, bad luck or anything else you want to share please feel free expound as I want this to be easy for them. I bring it, plug it in and say 'keep putting your phones right where you always do please' and be done with it. Thanks
