ARC magazines. Same as a 20-rounder for 5.56/.223 but with a differently shaped follower. Fourteen rounds maximum capacity with the ARC cartridges. Okay. No matter. The M1 carbines started out with a 15-rounder.


I suppose they sell a 30-rounder with this follower, but Wat can't be arsed to care about that.

Don’t cling to your own understanding. Even if you do understand something, you should ask yourself if there might be something you have not fully resolved, or if there may be some higher meaning yet.

~ Dogen



See mental afflictions as raw material, the way a potter would view clay. You don’t see clay as a problem; you see it as an opportunity to create something.

~ Lama Kathy Wesley



The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

~ William Arthur Ward



It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

~ Henry David Thoreau



Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.

Irrigators guide the water. Fletchers shape the arrow shaft. Carpenters shape the wood. The wise control themselves.

~ Dhammapada




Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are when you realize there is nothing lacking. The whole world belongs to you.

The Michelin Guide is best known for its world-famous restaurant recommendations, and gourmets often overlook the fact that the book, first published in 1900, was originally a road map and guidebook for motorists. It found a new role in World War II, when Allied troops landing in Normandy used the Michelin maps to navigate.

It's crazy to think that, before the internet, that each village only had one idiot.


And now, with the internet, we can realize just how incredibly incorrect that belief was.


Talk about the end of innocence . . . .

Forty years ago, the late Neil Postman delivered a keynote address at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which, that year, had taken George Orwell and his works as its special topic, with particular reference to “1984.” The book’s dark prophecy of a world controlled by the censorious hand of Big Brother hadn’t come to pass, at least in a literal sense, but there were still many questions—as there are today—about where we might see Big Brother’s shadow. Postman, an education scholar at New York University, insisted that if we wanted to understand how the masses would be controlled, we shouldn’t look to Orwell but rather to his contemporary Aldous Huxley. Postman’s talk became a book, “Amusing Ourselves to Death.” In the foreword, he lays out the distinction between the two authors’ visions of the future: “Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.”

Both of those works were WARNINGS…NOT a blueprint! We have a segment of radicalized that just didn’t get the message.

I disagree with the old fellow on this one. I think that cowardice is based more on the dread of what might happen.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free;
Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

~ Chuang Tsu



When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple in the cloud color." I don't try to control a sunset, I watch it with awe as it unfolds.

~ Carl Rogers




The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

When you live in the Solution, You dissolve the Illusion.
