  • If people follow an organized religion I do assume they accept, or at least don’t outwardly reject, the tenants of that theology. So, it is functionally identical to me, if not to their own internal monologue.

    So, sure I’m assuming a complex, spectrum-based identity as a binary, uniform contract. However, this is probably just a defence mechanism from living amongst the crazy ones for too long.






  • I see you touched on a number of varieties of partial hydro.

    Can you expand on your experience (if any) specifically for container gardening with coir/perlite, in conjunction with the terra cotta systems?

    I’m currently doing cloth pots with Coir/perlite and hydroponic nutrient + hand watering and was wondering how the terracotta would work with inert “soil” and water soluble hydro nutrients.





  • My ridiculous hypothesis of it being a low penetration weapon designed for time travelers to leave no trace when traveling to the 1942-1957 time period when the M3 was still in use was a bit of a stretch.

    However Having a weapon loaded with non penetration rounds for home defence is the American Way, despite a fully automatic SMG being a comically poor choice.


  • Based on my extensive research (of shooting everything I could find as a teenager), an open pornography magazine will not cause even a frangible (Glaser Safety Slugs or sintered copper and tin powder training rounds) to disintegrate. Heck they will pass though drywall sometimes.

    However a phonebook (Google it) will stop FMJ 9mm ACP. While 308 will penetrate the phone book and the tree trunk it was tied to.



  • Continuing this very silly premise…

    The Hustler magazine being made of metal plate seems unlikely.

    The rounds disappearing on impact with shredded paper is not explained by the frangible round hypothesis.

    However, it is possible he is using some advanced tech (indistinguishable from magic), as he has a time machine. Maybe he keeps his antique submachine gun stocked with less than lethal rounds that leave no round behind, though it still drops brass… Such are the mysteries of time travel.
