We tried making baby aspirin appeal to kids in the 1950's and preschool kids started overdosing on it. That was the origin of the 'child proof' cap.

I had followed Julia Galef's podcasts, etc.. for a while before reading the book so I was mostly familiar with the content. Not a huge amount of change as a result but there are some good supporting stories that I've related to others to help illustrate the concepts in day to day conversations.

@freeschool

Things are progressing. I'm in a pretty happy place overall.

I'd be willing to test out some audio chats with you.

My scum-of-scrum lead stopped me in the hall after our sprint review and asked me if my job was still fun.

Love that guy.

I picked up a pair of those Orivis kaki pants from Costco and they are so LOUD. It's like the corduroy pants from my childhood had a baby with those wind-suits from the 90's.

Now I'm off to swiff-swiff-swiff down the hall.

@freemo late to the party, but I hope you went high sheen. Flex nibs love the sheen.

What inks do you have?

@freemo

The muzzle break should help significantly with follow up shots considering the amount of barrel roll you get on a 1911 platform.

Do you do timed drills? You should be able to see a difference in score.

@kilroy_was_here @freemo

Don't give up on it just yet, there are lots of great acts still carrying the torch.

@freemo well, now you can hang all sorts of things off your barrel without needing a rail :)

@freemo how did you manage that?

My friend Chuck, the mathematician, has been training a neural net on lotto numbers to try and hit the Poweball jackpot this time. He generated like 150 numbers because....*waves hands* probability or something.

So, now we're siting in the lotto shop and he's hand filling out 150 little scantrons.

@freemo @SteelFolk

It's more about the casing, chamber, and barrel of the gun itself, not the bullet.

The Army's most recent iteration of the standard issue rifle (SIG Spear) has a specially designed steel & brass case to help handle the overall pressures that the propellant generates. My understanding is that the new bi-metal construction was needed to ramp up the bullet performance but keep it within the pre-existing overall cartridge length requirements.
