The 30-06 round allegedly used has a 5cm casing fwiw.
And harbor freight sells handheld electric engravers which are typically used to put your name/initials on (harbor freight tbf) tool steel, so brass would be fine.
But also, pics required before I’d consider believing it. It switched from trans writing on the bullets to Internet/Reddit subculture memes pretty damn quick after the Internet erupted into bloody Kirk memes.
- Comment on Many of the younger generations of folks don't know what it's like to watch TV series out of order by virtue of channel surfing on live TV and grabbing random episodes here and there 6 days ago:
ErsatzTV let’s you do channel surfing with Plex Media. Crate your own channels, make a schedule or randomizer, then flip through to find something to watch

They do, it is called ‘cool blue’

The cake was, indeed, a lie.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
It’s not like I’m manually clearing things out of the ram. And before the power outage last weekend I had an up-time over 2 months.
It’s there a way to have the OS utilize more?

I also have 64, but I’ve seen up to 34 in use a couple times. I could have stayed with 48gb, but the timings/cas latency was much better on the 64gb kit, than running mismatched sizes across 4 slots
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 week ago:
Yes. Multiple live operating systems on one USB that have persistent storage without install would be neat, but sounds like it’s distro dependent

This. Right here. Don’t make it easy on the brass by quitting
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 week ago:
Can you do a live os with ventoy? With like, persistence^? for data after restarts?

PLEASE DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS POST, NORMAL SIZED PEOPLE HAVE PLENTY OF CLOTHING OPTIONS. LEAVE THE ODD SIZED CLOTHING FOR ODD SIZED PEOPLE

I’m guessing 40cm x40cm based on the measurements on the small plate

This just gave me an idea for a new movie rental service.

Yep, obviously a government funded drone if it only has 2Mb uplink

- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
The new GPU also has the same 100w tdp as the last one
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 3 weeks ago:
- It is lighter and cheaper, as you can use thinner materials. This is because pointy is a stronger shape than flat.
- It gives more interior space.
If you’re using lighter cheaper materials you’ll need all the added interior space for roof trusses, none of it will be livable space.
- It allows more sunlight to reach the street.
No, for the same amount of occupiable space the shorter flat roof blocks less light than a standard 10:12 or 12:12 roof
- It has a smaller area-to-volume-ratio through which heat can escape.
The greater surface area of a pitched roof means this is absolutely not true. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg.
- Solar panels get a higher efficiency.
This one actually depends on latitude, equatorialy it’s better flat. And don’t forget that the minimum summer angle is limited by the pitched roof.
- If a city has the same height restrictions for flat roofed buildings as for pointy roofed buildings, and the architect is too lazy to go to the city council to explain to them that that doesn’t make sense, the architect can design a building with more volume by making the roof flat.
No it makes perfect sense. It goes back to your comment on letting sunlight through to the street. The maximum height is the maximum height so everyone gets the same amount of light.
In other words:
the only reason any architect would design a building with a flat roof is because they are either lazy or they have no idea what they are doing.this guy thinks their habitat is the only kind over the whole planet and can’t imagine people living in areas where snow load wouldn’t need to be considered. - Comment on Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80% 3 weeks ago:
Back of the napkin math:
Largest solar sail (much lighter than panels, but doesn’t produce electricity) 2000 sq meters
200w/sq meter
400kwp
Also iirc the space solar farms plans I’ve seen call for re radiating the energy back via microwaves to dedicated receiving towers on the ground
- Comment on Milliamp-hours per hour 3 weeks ago:
Similar to how EU efficiency labels show power draw in W as kWh per 1000h of use
That sounds nice for appliances that run intermittently like refrigerators
- Comment on Shit like this is why we need open source printers! 4 weeks ago:
Would you accept a printer that works like a typewriter with arms that strike the page to lay down text?
What about a 2d pen plotter? Not nearly as fast as an inkjet, but still open source
- Comment on Or at least I will when I find another FWB 😅 4 weeks ago:
Mermaids appear to be mammals based on the tail fin orientation, so it’d be similar to dolphins.
- Comment on It's all a game for them and we are always the losers 4 weeks ago:
As I understand it, nothing is dismissed, it’s either approved or it’s ‘left to die in committee’ because anything that doesn’t make it out of committee by the end of session it dies and just be re submitted to the committee next session.
- Comment on It's all a game for them and we are always the losers 4 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t it have to be reproposed since it was still in committee at the end of last session?
- Comment on Aspergers officinalis 4 weeks ago:
Well it takes 2 years to grow, but the harvest is in the 3rd year, at least when I’ve done it. It’s a perennial with minimal maintenance aside from weeding & water
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 4 weeks ago:
The sprouts actually taste better if you lightly blacken them, like asparagus. It’s one of the weird veggies where you go a little past maillard.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 4 weeks ago:
Huh, I’ve only heard bolting used when plants start flowering too early, before they’ve produced. Like lettuces or basil flowering before there are more than a couple leaves. Usually because they’re too crowded or otherwise stressed.

Pulled my 360 out of storage a couple years ago and it instantly red ringed when I tried to power on. Hopefully you have better luck

It’s so unsafe with that un-flared base
- Comment on US | As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 5 weeks ago:
It’s cheaper in the short term to just buy from the grid. If this whole AI thing doesn’t work out, then losses are minimal
