Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

The Dawn of the Postliterate Society

The smartphone hasn’t just distracted us. It’s dismantled the habits of thought that built our civilization.


If the reading revolution represented the greatest transfer of knowledge to ordinary men and women in history, the screen revolution represents the greatest theft of knowledge from ordinary people in history.

Our universities are at the front line of this crisis. They are now teaching their first truly “postliterate” cohorts of students, who have grown up almost entirely in the world of short-form video, computer games, and addictive algorithms (and, increasingly, artificial intelligence).

Because ubiquitous mobile internet has destroyed these students’ attention spans and restricted the growth of their vocabularies, the rich and detailed knowledge stored in books is becoming inaccessible to many of them. A 2024 study of English literature students at two American universities found that most of them were unable to understand the first paragraph of Charles Dickens’s novel Bleak House—a book that was once regularly read by children.


And so on. If this is true, and I suspect a great deal of it is true, then we are skittering between uber- and proper-fucked.

Norma NXD non-expanding defensive ammunition​

Norma announces a brand new option for concealed carry, personal defense and home and property protection: the Norma NXD line of ammunition(link is external), which has all the potential to appeal to both the north American and European markets.

NXD stands for "Non-eXpanding Defensive Ammo", and that's exactly the reason why Norma's new ammunition line has the potential to become a big hit on multiple markets. In several jurisdictions – including numerous European Countries – frangible, expanding or hollow-point ammunition is allowed for hunting, sport shooting, and training, but banned from defensive use, thus severely limiting locals' choices in terms of market alternatives for effective self-defense loads.

A round that offers the performance levels of an expanding or frangible round in terms of stopping power without legally falling in that category would definitely be extremely appealing on those markets – unless it's offered at an exaggerate price, that is.

In its current configuration, the Norma NXD non-expanding self-defense ammunition is built around Norma's own brass case and loaded with a 65 gr, injection molded copper bullet.



And so on. Seems like an interesting concept. I still wonder about shoot-through.

Monks, there are these three roots of evil. What three?

Lust is a root of evil, Hate is a root of evil, Delusion is a root of evil. These are the three roots of evil.

~ Itivuttaka



When in reverence this truth is heard even once, He who praises it and gladly embraces it has merit without end How much more he who turns within And confirms directly his own nature, That his own nature is no-nature – Such has transcended vain words. The gate opens, and cause and effect are one; Straight runs the way – not two, not three. Taking as form the form of no-form, Going or returning, he is ever at home. Taking as thought the thought of no-thought. Singing and dancing, all is the voice of truth.

I find that as I bump along through Life, there are a few things that are very helpful, and not confined to this order. One is to be Present. Two is to watch more and to opine less. Three is to have at least a decent idea of where I/we have come from. Four would have to do with Scientific Method, where we have the "results" we think we have now but we continue to watch and to question and to consider, lest we constipate our "thinking" into a batch of preconceived notions. If Life is nothing else, it is fluid and mutable.


There are likely others, but these are sufficiently complex for the moment.


The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

Looks like we sunk another drug boat in Caribbean…the Booger Sugar supply is starting to dwindle so the Crack withdrawal is showing for our esteemed Radicalized democrats on this forum…

The FFL called.


Yet another Saturday pick up with one more unconstitutional bit of suffering to go with it.


Wat can probably arm Paraguay in addition to Ecuador at this point.

I'm looking at a nice 1932 Chebby two-door sedan with a model name calculated to cause every Lit Libturd to foul its britches.


It's enough to make a soul float a loan just to get it, too.

When I was shooting competitively, we had a guy at the range who, every time the subject of M1 carbines came up, would say something about it's being underpowered. I made a similar comment to a Vietnam vet while discussing rifles and such, and he said, "Listen, back in '65, I shot Charlie in the head," pointing right above his own ear, "and he didn't say a word about it's being underpowered as he dropped like a sack of potatoes." It's no AR, but it's handy and effective.

Bought some Black Rifle™ coffee this morning. Menacing, Huh?


They had something called Death Wish™, but I reckon we'd have to consider that as some kinda threat for our ladybois . . . .

You overpaid for mid coffee because of the name.

There was nothing right with him.
