It's about barrel twist. You probably have a 1:7 or 1:8 barrel twist rate in your rifle. You could get a 1:9 twist rate barrel installed in your AR and it'll shoot the light bullets (and less expensive) much better.
I think AI can be, and already is in a limited capacity, an amazing aid, especially in the medical field. As has been said, though, left uncontrolled, it could be a terrible blight on humankind. The huge driving force, to let it run amuck, is the almighty dollar.
I see tv news reports regularly, since it is a local trial. What is truly amazing is that it went on for so long without anyone reporting it. The ex-sheriff must have felt extremely powerful, been very intimidating and felt like he had enough on others to get away with it. He seems like a...
I have a UTG 3-9x with lit reticle on my .22 Benjamin Mayhem. I believe it is the Bugbuster model. I rarely use the lit reticle and they may not actually sell them any longer. Find a pellet that your air rifle is accurate with and be aware that changing pellet weights can change your vertical...
Like a lot of unions, teacher unions spend way too much time defending bad employees. Unless criminally charged, it seems hard to actually get rid of deadwood. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/study-its-far-too-hard-to-fire-bad-teachers/2016/12
Teachers should be teaching basic skills. As far as, morals, I think that is one of the things that teachers may want to stay away from. I've known young liberal teachers whose moral standards were very low (not pointing towards you) and often on display outside the classroom. My grandkids have...
Are public schools and their buildings a benefit to our modern day society? Are they really getting the job done, educating our children? I'm thinking it in these times and advanced technology we have, maybe they are just warehouses for kids to keep them out of trouble and parent's hair during...
I recently met a couple of teen home-schooled kids. They are polite, know how to talk to adults, mature, conscientious and friendly. They mow lawns, too! I'm sure that my small example doesn't fit all (maybe not most), but I've been favorably impressed.
Being old, old school, I sometimes write thank you cards and greeting cards in cursive. I think that it is easier to hand write than printing. I kind of like it that some people can't understand anything not printed on a screen (and many can't understand that). My granddaughters are learning it...
I believe that you are correct. This transaction seems confusing as it looks like there are still bits and pieces to be sold off by Vista. The offer by CSG appears to be unsolicited by Vista. We'll have to see how this shakes out.
These kinds of sales always make me nervous. I remember when Hercules became Alliant (an employee owned company, I believe). Things actually seemed to get better. I hope that Alliant Powders can become more available with a sale, but I'm not holding my breath. Vista, not only owns Alliant, but...
