A lot of people I’ve seen in Lamborghini cars aren’t serious about their lives. They’re spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

DaddleDew@lemmy.worldto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•The Lord works in mysterious ways?2·21 hours agoI actually knew a guy who had an Robarms M96 rifle chambered in .223 that would “overpressure” whenever he fired 5.56 out of it but not .223. Nothing catastrophic, but this rifle is designed so the barrel can be easily removed if you press on a latch and firing 5.56 out of it would cause the barrel to slip off of the latch and fall off of the rifle. It was working just fine with .223 though.
It is more of a statement to the flimsy design and construction the rifle itself than anything else as we figured that it was the pressure felt at the gas port was what was causing the barrel to jump out of the rifle and not a failure of the bolt, which remained safely locked and did its very important job of supporting the case head under the firing pressures. But it was a pretty hilarious way to tell that the rifle operated at higher pressures when firing 5.56 compared to .223.
What if G1 is lying and both of them always tell lies?

What’s with Cybertruck owners overestimating the capabilities of their vehicle?

To be an even more massive pedant, .223 has a slightly larger projectile diameter than .22 LR. And also .223 and 5.56 are technically not the exactly the same either.

Meanwhile Trump’s wealth has been going up by a billion dollars per month ever since he took power.
I don’t know how more obvious they can make it that there is rampant corruption going on right now. For decades after he’s gone we’re still going to keep discovering ways this guy and his direct entourage were stealing from the entire country.

As for the weight, more weight does not necessarily equate more better. There is a sweet spot where going on either side of it makes it worse. Too light and it gets no traction. Too heavy and it just sinks into the snow and digs itself deeper instead of moving forward, especially if the tires are too skinny for the weight which is likely the case for Cybertrucks judging from all the videos of them getting stuck in sand. I presume that where this sweet spot is depends entirely on the conditions.
Also the RWD pickup trucks are especially bad in the snow not solely because of the lack of weight over the rear driving wheels, but mainly because it has to push along the undriven front wheels that are carrying most of the truck’s weight. It isn’t as much of a vehicle weight problem as it is a weight distribution over the driving wheels problem.

Even if the problem is completely solved people will still default to blaming the gun whenever there is an accident caused by the operator. And since SIG fucked up twice and initially mishandled the problem both times, that reputational harm is going no where any time soon.
That kind of dynamic ruined the Blackhawk SERPA holster as well.
I mean, what else were they expecting after Zelensky’s visit?
