      New Bloomington mayor is about to freak out, put more pressure on her.

      I honestly didn't even know we had a new mayor until seeing this thread, that's how little of an impact the mayoral elections have here (the winner is always a D, of course). However, while reading a recent article about the thread subject, I was shocked to see she'd actually said something...

      Vehicle Explosion at Rainbow Bridge US/Canada Border Crossing

      This Fox News article has a video of the purported incident. The car legitimately goes flying through the air, no wonder it exploded. Looked like a Hollywood stunt. I could believe the story that it was a couple of guys in a stolen car fleeing the fuzz, but wouldn't be surprised if drugs were...

      SpaceX Starship test launch

      Might have been propellant slosh in the tanks that caused some engines to crap themselves during the attempted boostback burn, then the AFTS blew it up when the computer noticed it wasn't following the correct course. They had similar problems with testing the flip maneuver with the upper stage...

      SpaceX Starship test launch

      I've read some rumors that the initial flip the rocket performed near the apogee of the flight was actually the attempted staging maneuver, but the hydraulic stage separation mechanism failed due to damage inflicted by flying debris at liftoff and thus the two stages remained together while...

      Artemis/Orion mission

      Scrubbed due to an engine bleed issue, and now reading there may be a crack on a flange in the core stage. I've generally been of the mind that despite the enormous expenditure and constant delays, we should still try to get as much out of SLS/Orion as we can for the first few Artemis missions...

      "Let's Go Brandon"

      I definitely heard this phrase uttered by a group of middle school-aged kids on Saturday when I was working security at an IU Homecoming alumni event. Perhaps there's some hope for the younger generations?

      Bloomington expands private security to 7 more parks across city, including B-Line Trail

      I was actually one of the guards who did regular shifts at that place, between late 2018 and when the building was finally torn down in May of last year. When one of my co-workers told me roughly how much the city was paying my boss for that contract, I thought he must be joking. I'm still not...

      Critical Race Theory is cultural Marxism

      Is choosing what ought and ought not to be acceptable to teach to impressionable young students in public schools truly a violation of the First Amendment? Would those people (presumably mostly people on the left) making such a claim object to teachers "discussing" Nazi racial theories or...

      SpaceX Crew 2 Mission launching at 5:49am today.

      Somewhat amusing that SpaceX is launching their third crewed flight to the ISS while Boeing has yet to successfully dock even an uncrewed Starliner to the ISS once. Really starting to think that the other selection for the Commercial Crew Program should have ben the Dream Chaser all along.

      Indy Shooter My Little Pony Racist

      As would I. I too suspect the website in question was indeed 4chan, in which case I believe Officer Humphry deserves at least a bit of mockery.

      OH: Man in custody sneaks handgun into ER, big struggle, ends up shot

      Yep, that appears to be the cause of the malfunction; freeze-framing the video at the point he squeezes the shot off shows his left thumb is directly behind the back of the slide. It occurred to me that this a potential source of malfunctions on all autoloading pistols with rearward...

      NASA Releases Video of Perseverance Mars Rover Landing, First Audio Recording

      I watched the NASA press conference in which they unveiled that footage live yesterday; couldn't stop smiling while it was playing. I still have a hard time believing that sky-crane deployment maneuver for the rover works as well as it does, but this is the second time they've done it and now...

      Best bourbon under $50?

      What's the usual price for Angel's Envy these days? I picked up a bottle a few days ago at my local Big Red for $43; that was supposedly a sale price. Not yet given it a try, but always heard it's high-tier bourbon. I think I remember seeing it closer to $80 around here several years ago.

      The mini14 is NOT a downsized M14

      It's a hybrid of design elements from both. The rock-and-lock magazine system with pivoting mag release tab is the same as the M14's.

      Politically Motivated Violence Thread PART 2

      FWIW, I worked a a fairly lightweight security job in the past, and was firmly told by one of my superiors to NEVER put my hands on someone if I could avoid it, but merely try to bodily block people from moving to a "forbidden" area. The incident that incited this was me putting my hands on the...

      Long Gun Show and Tell

      Picked this up recently, a Robinson Armament XCR-L in 6.5 Grendel. An underappreciated member of the "not an AR-15" category of rifles, if you ask me.

      "Whenever I'm in _____, I have to eat at _____"

      In that cozier age before the pandemic, when my friend & I went to shoot at the Pro-Teq range in Brazil (IN), we'd often stop at Moggers in Terre Haute for dinner afterward. Good burgers and beer to be had there. Either that or Twiggy's for some pizza.

      Man Alleges Attempted Lynching at Lake Monroe

      I'd never heard of this Booker fellow prior to this incident... perhaps he's eyeing an opportunity to run for office around here?

      COVID 19 side effects What’s yours

      Not me personally, but my mother had it back in March (caught it from a co-worker who later had to be put on a ventilator after the symptoms began) and although she was only fairly mildly sick for a few days, she lost most of her sense of taste and still hasn't fully regained it. Sucks since...

      First focal plane or second focal plane scopes, what to buy?

      Yep, that does appear to be a good solution for FFP. I believe some of the Eotech Vudu FFP scopes do the same thing, using the classic Eotech "donut of death."
