I agree with the comments on this forum (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mushrooming-22-lr-case-heritage-rough-rider.891807/) that the cylinder could have a machining defect. (Basically a headspace issue, also but kinda not. The cartridges are sitting too deep in the cylinder itself.)

If there is room for the brass to get pushed back far enough for it to mushroom out, something is seriously wrong. The issue could manifest from a machining error as small as 5-10 thou, I am speculating.

My first thought was excessive chamber pressure, but the bulging would be much worse around and behind the rim itself if that were the case.

The bullet and the brass get pushed in opposite directions and if the brass can move, it will move before it deforms. If it deforms, it’ll deform at the weakest spot first, like we see in your pic. (Excessive chamber pressure tends to expand the brass and lock it in place. With center-fire, it’ll blow the primers out or have a hole punched in them from the firing pin first. With rim fire, the pressure pushes back on the rim.)

Also, check for excessive slop with the cylinder. If it can move forwards and backwards too much, that could also telling of issues with other parts of the gun. (Like I mentioned before, it doesn’t take much for a gun to be out of spec enough to cause issues with brass.)

Mexico is turning into Texas, it seems.

Of course they read. Do you think those ticked tock subtitles are going to read themselves when they “do their own research”?

I seem to have missed the question.

The fan is good, but the orientation seems like it would struggle pushing air between the drives. Maybe a push-pull setup with a second fan?

My general attitude is similar to yours. Let OP figure out that the reporting and blocking is basically just creating more noise that has to gets filtered out and bot supply is basically infinite.

“It’s a learning experience.”

Good luck with that, I suppose. Botnets can have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of infected hosts that will endlessly scan everything on the interwebs. Many of those infected hosts are behind NAT’s and your abuse form would be the equivalent of reporting an entire region for a single scan.

But hey! Change the world, amirite?

There is a place for that. It’s called 4chan.

Well, the administration supposedly made some kind of minerals deal to continue to support Ukraine. (It was just bullshit PR for Trump “making deals”.)

Still, I doubt any partner was surprised by this as the Trump administration is pointlessly unpredictable.

Effort vs Reward vs Ability vs Inital investment

In most cases, think of this kind of thing like a legitimate business. Same concepts. I’ll grade a few scenarios based on what I have seen over the last 20 or so years. (The ratings are arbitrary and just trying to explain my point.)

Do you have the means to rent a botnet and phish a few million people for lots of credit card numbers? Can you manage that kind of data, test all those numbers and maybe end up just selling that data? Low Risk/Moderate Reward (“Selling shovels” analogy is probably a better scheme than actually renting the botnet, IMHO)

Could you setup a “call center” in India and run a scam ring like an 8-5 business? Are there enough people you can hire to do this work? That requires training, infrastructure and time. You also may need to “work with” law enforcement to ensure your scam isn’t busted by legitimate cops. Moderate Risk/Moderate Reward.

Are you part of a small group with an insane amount of skill that has the time to pull off an extortion scheme against a Fortune 500 company for a few million bucks? High risk/High reward

Those are all normal scenarios above and it’s based on profitability and initial investment. Risk/Reward is always a balance.

(Sorry. I pulled a “wHellll aKshUallY” when you said it’s not worth the time for the small targets.)

Usually tear gas. I haven’t seen any reports to the contrary, yet.

Tear gas usage is a war crime and it’s also not harmless.

This has been a thing for years now. While I am sure it might annoy some pirates, it’s likely aimed at easily executed malware.

I deal with spam filtering on a daily basis and about 90% of it originates from Gmail. Most of that is just fishing/fraud. It would really suck if my users could easily detonate malware attachments, so this Gmail policy is a good thing for me.

I think you nailed it. For me personally, if I move to PieFed, it’s not because I want to “hurt” the devs, it’s because I really don’t want to be part of what they stand for.

The title of the article is referring to “chemtrails” as false. (You are blocked now too. So no point in responding.)

The point was not about if it was happening or not. It’s about how these examples are used as fodder to keep the conspiracies flowing about chemtrails.

If you mix just the right amount of conspiracy with a little bit of fact, you get to keep all the votes from the crazies. It’s super easy to use big words like “geoengineering” and twist them to imply that hormones are mixed with jet fuel.

"Fesi testified on the Senate floor April 28 during debate over his bill that he believes “certain agencies within the federal government are doing cloud seeding and geoengineering.” In an interview Friday, the senator was asked what evidence he had to support his claims.

“Look up in our sky,” Fesi answered.

In an interview, Fesi later said he sees “just tons and tons of cloud seeding” above his backyard and described it as “all of the stripes across the skies.”

These bills are fueled by conspiracy theories and idiocy.

Gravity is not a constant and that would probably matter at the precision that needs to be measured in the given test environment. In any other situation, gravity (or the state of the earths magnetic field) would generally not matter enough to measure.

The precision of F=MA might even be debatable as an accurate formula at these scales… I dunno about that though.

And a also a full vacuum. Your test subject might not look so hot after that, but science!
