#auto selector

[rustledraws]

just a boring astolfo doodle bc i was trying out going back to krita instead of clip studio and i needed a thing to draw

going back to not having the ‘close gaps’ feature in the bucket fill tool is SO frustrating but maybe relatedly this way it seems to require much less cleanup when i do eventually manage to find all the leaks?

...also, i have never before actually seen that different apps will have somewhat different color profiles for displaying the same image and now that i have it is driving me a little insane

Tactical Machine Pistol + Pose Pack

DOWNLOAD

Greetings, Customer! In this beautiful day before Christmas I'd like to Presenting you some Good Old Machine Pistol that you folks might Recognized it From Resident Evil 4!! Yay! this also Include The Pose Pack For these Guns :D Yay You Guys Gonna Love this @melbrewer367, @helenofsimblr @bdangkingfish & @igglemouse @exzentra-reblog

Steyr TMP

The Steyr TMP (Taktische Maschinenpistole/Tactical Machine Pistol) is a 9×19mm Parabellum caliber machine pistol manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher of Austria. The magazines come in 15 or 30 round detachable box types. A suppressor can also be fitted. Though originally intended to be used without a shoulder stock, an optional fixed stock was made available later.

Picture this: it's compact, it's sleek, and it's made by Steyr Mannlicher – those Austrians sure know how to craft some serious firepower. The mags? You've got options, my friend – choose between the 15-round or the 30-round detachable box types. More bullets, more fun, right?

Now, here's the cool part – you can throw a suppressor on this bad boy. Yeah, you heard me right. Stealth mode engaged! Take out the trash without waking up the whole neighborhood.

And get this, it was originally meant to be a hip-firing, no-shoulder-stock-needed kind of deal. But hey, if you're feeling fancy, they later dropped an optional fixed stock. So, whether you're going for the "I'm a secret agent" look or just want a compact powerhouse, the Steyr TMP has your back.

In summary, it's Austrian, it's 9mm, it's got optional Rambo vibes with that stock, and it's perfect for when you need to make a statement – quietly or not, your choice!

Steyr SPP

The Steyr SPP (Special Purpose Pistol) is a semi-automatic variant of the TMP intended for civilian Markets. The TMP's barrel and barrel jacket lengths were increased slightly so there is a greater length of protruding jacket and barrel. The forward tactical pistol grip was also removed. It is large for a pistol and is constructed mainly from Polyamide 66. Now, they didn't just slap on an "SPP" and call it a day. The SPP got a bit of a makeover. They tweaked the barrel and barrel jacket, making them a bit longer for that extra oomph. It's all about that protruding jacket and barrel, giving it a distinctive look. So, whether you're in the market for a semi-auto powerhouse or just want to feel like you're wielding the future of pistols, the Steyr SPP is your go-to. It's Austrian, it's purposeful, and it's packing some Polyamide 66 coolness. What more could you ask for in a Special Purpose Pistol?

Brügger & Thomet MP9

in 2001, Steyr decided to pass the torch, or in this case, the design, to none other than Brügger & Thomet. It's like a handoff in the world of guns – a bit like passing the baton in a relay race, but with more firepower.

So, Steyr handed over the blueprints, and Brügger & Thomet took the reins, turning that design into what we now know as the Brügger & Thomet MP9. It's like the TMP's legacy lives on, but with a Swiss twist.

Now, the MP9 isn't your average Joe submachine gun – it's got some serious selective-fire mojo going on. You can choose your flavor of firepower with 15, 20, 25, or 30 round transparent polymer magazines. It's like a buffet of bullets.

Safety first, right? The MP9 takes that seriously with not one, not two, but three safeties. You've got an ambidextrous safety/fire mode selector switch button for manual safety, a trigger safety, and a drop safety. They've basically built a fortress of safety around this thing.

And here's the kicker – it's the lovechild of the Steyr TMP. Brügger & Thomet took that TMP design, shook things up a bit, and voila, the MP9 was born. They made it even cooler with a folding stock that tucks away to the right, an integrated Picatinny rail for all your accessory needs, and a snazzy new trigger safety. Evolution at its finest, right?

So, whether you're into Swiss precision, sleek designs, or just want a submachine gun that's as safe as a bank vault, the MP9 is here to deliver the goods – with a little help from its TMP roots.

Brügger & Thomet TP9

So, check this out: the TP9, a semi-auto civilian version of the MP9, decided to play by the rules to cozy up with US firearm import laws. They did a little swap dance – out with the forward grip, in with a snazzy underbarrel MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail, right in front of the trigger guard. It's like the gun got a tactical makeover to fit in.

Imagine it's the rebel cousin – looks like the Steyr SPP but with a twist. No more forward grip, just a slick rail. Gotta hand it to them for adapting and keeping it stylish. Guns with a touch of strategy, right?

Now The Best Part.. The Pose Pack!!! well It Contain 10 Poses 5 For Males And 5 Males 3 of them inspired from Resident Evil Thingy and Stockless Variants are Compactible with regular Pistols poses that scattered around tumblrs.. like @pandorassims4cc or @alunedesires (deactivated) and Well It also Included For Left Hand in Case You guys need dual Wield Weapons

Thank You @ts4-poses @littyfinds @cctreasuretrove @exzentra-reblog@sparkiekongreblogsstuff

Panasonic RX-S25A (early 1980s)

This one I believe was released in about 1983, and is fairly basic, but I love the styling. I kind of overpaid, and it's chunkier than I expected, but does have auto reverse and looks gorgeous with the blue and silver and interesting buttons. Unexpectedly heavy, like, really weighty, and with quite heavy to operate buttons. Also, while a lot of auto-reverse players have a switch for the direction, this one instead has a button to change the direction. It also doesn't have a tape type selector like I thought, it's tape tone, which I thought is some kind of equalisation. Would have been a fairly budget/basic model when it was new, but I honestly love it, even with the fairly low end specs and features it's actually one of my better performing ones, doesn't go warbly when you walk around with it in your pocket.

Devlog #1

Ok, I've been working super hard on my game this week, and I have something to show off. Generally, I did not want to start doing Devlogs until I had what I considered a working prototype, and that's what this is. I think I'm at the point where a lot of basic things work, and I will be able to focus on building it out, which will make for more interesting regular updates.

So, what we're seeing in this clip is:

SPLASH SCREEN - just a test of animation and the flow of booting up the game, it will not be in there for long, I just threw random assets in.

SAVING & LOADING - The title screen is plain, the "Settings" option doesn't do anything yet, but the "New Game" and "Load Game" do! They currently go off of one filepath and save games are stored as JSON so I can edit them easily for testing, and they don't yet prompt "are you sure?", they just do it, and the functions work. I can save my game and all the party and player stats and values load in properly. [Not shown: there is a save button in the Pause menu, but that menu is very basic]

BATTLE UI - All is placeholder, and ugly, but I focused down on getting it to work. That means, while I was throwing buttons in there for testing early on, I spent major time reworking menus to work with controller instead. I may do KB&M support later, once the UIs are actually fully designed, but doing them in parallel while I'm changing things would not be nice. We can attack, you don't have to click "Confirm" anymore, just a controller button, we have spells/skill and items which can target either enemies or allies, and both single-target an multitarget skills exist and flash up corresponding selector arrows, after which you can confirm your target. Party members have an HP/MP display and the character whose turn it is will be highlighted on their turn

MESSAGE OVERLAY - As you can see, I've worked out the system to have messages give the player feedback in-battle which can also be used for dialogue out-of-battle. It works off of a queue containing both messages that auto-play and messages that you have to confirm before moving on, so I can mix-and-match as appropriate. I wanted to have this in place so I can soon implement NPCs and shops, and the battles make sense to both me and the player as I add more features to it.

When we load into this test dungeon, we see the old sprite for a demon, I redrew them, as you can see in the first random encounter. None of this is final though, these were also pretty quick I just wanted to discard the really lazy MS Paint-looking sprites If I'm going to be showing the game off more, I want it to be in a better light. I'm not even sure Demons and Bats will be common enemy types in the game, it's just for testing. Nothing that you're seeing is final, or even really fits the vibe in my, mind yet, but it's approaching something that looks like it has the potential to be a game.

After all all of this I haven't added any new enemy types, items, or skills yet, the assets aren't anywhere near what they will be like, no levels have been created yet, but I think what I have is a lot of the "structure" of a basic RPG. I ate my vegetables, the boring parts are functional, and it opens up a lot of doors for what I can develop next.

NEXT GOALS -

NPCs in the overworld (+Shops, need to have a way to acquire items, currently the inventory is hardcoded into a New Game)

Implement a method to recruit and dismiss new Party Members, they are also currently hardcoded for testing purposes

There are still lingering menu navigation bugs, but nothing that can't be fixed relatively quickly

Move the starting area to a safe-zone that can be built out as the main hub and create multiple dungeon rooms with different testing conditions

More visual feedback. Having enemies flash on taking damage and displaying damage numbers would be a good start, more complex animations can come later, including spell animations.

Jaune: …

Ruby: When did you even learned how to do that?!

DaVinci Resolve subtitle editing is magic

I recently switched my video editor to DaVinci Resolve free and I'm slowly learning how things work. Today I discovered that they handle subtitles the way I've been fantasizing about.

Subtitles are put on a subtitle track like the video and audio tracks. You can move the start or end of a specific subtitle and they'll snap to the current frame marker. This beans you can hear and see where the exact right frame it and easily start a new subtitle or adjust the end to there. It's actually easier and has more control than YouTube, and certainly more than the editor I was using that kept the subtitle editor very separate.

You can load or save to an SRT file and it will fill everything in on the timings. You can also slice, copy, and paste sections of subtitle crack along with the other tracks. This means all the timings will be adjusted for you at a simple drag and drop. This is so revolutionary.

So for Critical Role clips I can take the video, save or extract the SRT, and then add the video and subtitle to the same track. Now I can make cuts in the video and I'll be able to see the subtitles for it right there. My current plan is to make cuts and copy them to tracks for each scene. That should make it really easy to keep everything lined up.

My disabilities make me really struggle with captioning and doing timings, and it's been a big barrier to me making clips. This is exactly the system I needed to overcome those barriers. You can also merge clips and that works with subtitles.

If Auto Track Selector is on (on by default; it's the [<>] icon under the subtitle track title), then the Last/Next edit buttons will treat each subtitle as an edit mark. Which messes you up if you're trying to find the video edits. But if you turn that off it will ignore the subtitles. But when it is on you can find the existing perfect cut instead of looking for it yourself. So I think I'll be using this on and off as the work suits me.

If you select the Track you can change the style and position for captions. You can also set these for each caption if you need a change for some reason.

To export the subtitles, right click the track and select Export Subtitle... This defaults to SRT, and also has an option for SRT without formatting, which is what you want for YouTube (Subtitle Files Without Formatting).

If you buy DaVinci Resolve it has an auto-captioner, but I can't speak to how useful it is.

Even with my limitations, DaVinci Resolve's setup makes it easy to add or edit captions. It's a game changer for editing videos with existing subtitle files and makes it virtually as easy to modify the subtitles as the video.

Kalashnikov USA KP-9

Let’s talk about a little AK that many folk may or may not have heard about, the Kalashnikov USA KP-9. This is an interesting firearm to say the least. It’s an all USA made semi-auto variant of the Russian 9MM AK called the Vityaz. Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to acquire a real Vityaz, so Kalashnikov USA decided to make their own for the U.S. market. Dare I say it, but the KP-9 and associated variants have probably been KUSA’s most successful entry into the U.S. made AK world…there just aren’t many other options for those that want a “true” 9MM AK that’s being used in foreign militaries. The KP-9 is as close to the “real” version from my understanding as it can get.

There are a few different variants of the KP-9. Mainly these variants are manufactured in order to comply with the ever confusing firearm laws of different states that require barrel lengths or other attributes. These different variants pop up from time to time over at Brownells, but typically sell out relatively quick. Other Kalashnikov USA firearms and AK variants are also commonly found over at Brownells. I’ve owned my KP-9 for around 2 years now and have enough rounds through it, to give a good idea of what to expect if you purchase one. My particular KP-9 wasn’t perfect, it did have some finish wear on the safety selector, which didn’t bother me none as it’s an AK and will be treated as such. The one mechanical issue I ran into early on was the top cover rail assembly was out of spec. According to Kalashnikov USA, there were a batch manufactured that were out of spec. They promptly sent me out a replacement top cover and hinge pin so that I could replace it. Within the last 6 months there was quite a commotion on the internet with KP-9 owners as a number of them had experienced out of battery discharges. It took KUSA some time, but they came up with a solution or fix for the bolt assembly to rectify this. You only had to send in your bolt/carrier and they would apply the change and get it right back to you. The turnaround time for my repair was relatively quick and took no more than 2 weeks including transit time. At the end of the day, KUSA has done right by all accounts to fix any issues.

The firearm itself, it’s one sweet shooter! I have installed a 3 lug adapter and run a Rugged Obsidian suppressor. It can be a little bit gassy, but suppresses very well. I also opted to swap out the typical AK trigger for an ALG trigger. The ALG trigger is a super crisp and fast running trigger and KI much prefer them when possible in my AK platforms. For an optic, I’m running the Holosun 510C which is more or less their version of an Eotech. It’s a good and robust optic and I’ve had no complaints about it. Recently I submitted a Form 1 to the ATF so that I could finally install the proper triangle folding stock assembly. This is how the KP-9 should be!

So if you’re looking to pick up something a little different and have an interest is military type firearms, definitely check out the KP-9 series from Kalashnikov USA over at Brownells. 2 years later… it sstill puts a smile on my face!

Me he pasado Celeste 64

Celeste 64 es una secuela corta y gratuita del conocido juego Celeste, esta vez en un 3D basado en la antigua Nintendo 64, y es que su gameplay se basa bastante en plataformas de esa época, convirtiendo el plataformeo lineal de Celeste en un collectathon en 3D adaptando las mecánicas de su antecesor al 3D de manera magistral.

Basándose en Super Mario 64 y usando elementos del juego anterior en este mapa que el juego trae tendremos que recoger las fresas como si de las estrellas de Mario se tratase, aunque ese no es nuestro objetivo al final del día...

Madeline en este caso ha venido a la montaña Celeste buscando a su contraparte Badeline para poder hablar con ella de "un paso importante que tienen que dar para ser felices y que les da miedo". Si, hablan de algún punto de su transición de género, pero hablaremos de esto más adelante. El caso con esto es que el "final" del juego será cuanto encontremos a Badeline y hablemos con ella, quien tiene al lado una señal que nos indica el "final" del juego... Pero para esto no requerimos de ninguna fresa, ¿que no era un collectathon?

Aquí viene la chicha del juego, el mapa es grande y contiene 30 fresas. Muchas a simple vista, otras escondidas, pero está en nuestra mano si conseguirlas o no, yo las encontré todas... Algunas incluso están en las cintas, que en este juego nos transportan a un mini nivel con un reto plataformero super jodido pero muy gratificante cuando consigues pasarlos.

Voy a hablar de uno de los elefantes en la habitación: esto parece una demo más que un juego. Desde el hecho de que algunos controles no se sienten del todo finos (hay veces que el salto parece procedural), el hecho de que esto tiene muchas mecánicas en un solo nivel como si fuese una prueba técnica o un nivel tutorial y el hecho de que hay un selector de niveles cuando solo hay un nivel... ¿Para que me pones ese selector de niveles si solo hay uno?

Si esto es una demo encubierta, que ojalá, me veréis a mi dándole el dinero que necesite a esta gente para sacar esto adelante, incluso con los controles no tan pulidos esto ha sido la hostia y le he echado dos horas y media de mi vida de las cuales no me arrepiento ni un ápice.

Se viene chapa y spoilers, por si queréis no leer a partir de aquí, la review está hecha.

Ahora vengo a hablar de algo más personal, como persona trans recién salida del armario y empezando a afrontar temas como el tratamiento hormonal y demás... Este diálogo me ha calado hondo, esto lo he vivido yo. Me da pánico y terror todo lo que conlleva la transición y al mismo tiempo estoy ansiosa por hacerlo... En mi también hay una Madeline y una Badeline discutiendo cada día, preguntando continuamente: ¿Valdrá la pena? ¿Y si me estoy auto engañando? ¿Y si me convierto en un problema para todos por esto?

Pero no he parado, no me he rendido, estoy empezando a perder peso en serio para poder hacer las cosas bien, por que me siento mejor conmigo misma y por que cada vez que pienso en tener un cuerpo femenino se siente correcto... Como si siempre debería haber sido así.

Cuando pienso en si me estoy engañando a mi misma pienso en mi pasado, en como siempre ha estado ahí, el como sin darme cuenta siempre he tenido este sentimiento, solo que no he sido capaz de dar ese paso... Siempre he sido una mujer, pero nunca he sido capaz de aceptarlo.

Ahora tengo apoyo, tengo información y, lo más importante, tengo convicción sobre este paso. ¿Me aterra? Mucho ¿Pienso en rendirme muchas veces? Muchísimas, pero aquí sigo. Este juego ha plasmado literalmente todos estos pensamientos en un diálogo, haciendo que no me sienta sola en esto... Es igual a cuando hablo con alguna amiga trans, leo algún foro o escucho algún podcast de alguna persona trans, Han vuelto a reflejar todo esto en un juego, por pequeño que sea, por mucho que para ver este diálogo puedas tardar 6 minutos o incluso menos... Puede parecer una tontería pero he llegado a soltar una lágrima ante esto.

PD: las imágenes de la conver están pilladas de una partida en mi PC por que la Steam Deck ha hecho algo raro con mis capturas, he tenido potra de tener las de cuando he pillado la última fresa y del menú y tal al 100%, mirad esta captura para que veáis que digo.

En conclusión, jugad esto, no solo es divertido y muy bueno si no que igual si lo juga la suficiente gente lo sacan como juego completo y yo no podría estar más feliz.

Camera Showcase

Olympus OM2 Spot Program

Pictured: Olympus OM2 Spot Programs with all owned OM specific lenses, flash units and motor winder

In the OM series of cameras, double digits such as the OM10 were consumer grade, whereas single digits were professional grade. First manufactured in 1984, the OM2 Spot Program (OM2S in the US) was a thorough overhaul of the OM2 to make it more competitive, meaning it's internals have more in common with the OM4 than it's predecessor.

Personally speaking, this is the most feature-rich, reliable 35mm film camera I have owned, making it my go-to workhorse for 35mm work. It’s compact design was very well-thought out and lightweight compared to other cameras before it.

Pictured: Top view of the OM2 Spot Program highlighting camera controls

One of the really well-thought out designs of this camera is how the shutter speed, aperture and depth of field preview controls are all in the same area on or next to the lens, meaning with one hand you can set all the main exposure controls without looking away from the viewfinder. Instead of a shutter speed selector on top, it’s a combined ISO speed/exposure compensation dial.

The OM2 Spot Program has 3 shooting modes: Program, Auto and Manual/Spot. In Program, the lens is set to the highest/tightest aperture and the camera will set both the aperture and shutter speed according to the light levels. In Auto, the camera shoots in an aperture priority mode where the user sets the aperture and the camera deals with the rest. In both Program and Auto modes, the camera meters centre weighted but in the full manual mode the camera switches to spot metering. This is an extremely useful feature when shooting high contrast images and with light sources behind the subject matter.

Another great thing versus it's predecessors is that it has a mechanical 1/60th shutter speed option, meaning if the batteries are depleted mid-shoot there's still a way to take photos depending on light levels.

Pictured: 3 shots through the viewfinder showing the current focus screen's split centre and microprism centre, the Program/Auto mode metering and the Spot/Manual's digital match needle meter

The viewfinder's light meter is a LCD style display which can be illuminated for 90 seconds for better viewing in low light scenes. In Manual/Spot mode it switches from a bar depicting the shutter speed to a match needle style display. The viewfinder itself (dependant on chosen focus screen) is very clear and bright making composition a lot easier.

Pictured: A selection of various attachments for the OM series of cameras. teleconverters, extension tubes, right-angle viewfinder, motor winder and flash units

The OM series of cameras have a wide range of accessories to further extend the capabilities of this camera. The motor winder allows for shooting up to 3.5 frames a second in continuous mode. The right angle viewfinder is especially useful when shooting at awkward angles or with telephoto lenses on a tripod, and has a toggle switch to add a 2.5x magnification to it for really dialling in the focus. I have a T20 and T32 flash for my cameras, and although the more lightweight and smaller T20 is more portable and uses half the amount of batteries, I prefer the T32 as it allows for bounce flash photography. Both flash units have 3 modes: TTL camera auto, flash unit auto and full manual. I have only really used the TTL camera auto mode but with the lens set to f4 I haven't had any photos with blown out highlights or muddy shadows.

Pictured: three different focus screens and an OM2 Spot Program with no lens and the current focus screen unclipped from the camera

A great thing about the OM2 Spot Program and other single digit OM cameras is the ability to fairly easily switch focus screens. Different lenses and scenarios work better with different screens and the ability to change really increases the versatility of the camera. For example, for general use I tend to use a split centre with microprism focus screen to give me 3 ways to focus, but with a telephoto (especially with teleconverters) the split centre goes black due to the low light levels. At that point, I have the option to switch to a microprism only or ground glass screen to make it easier to focus.

All in all, a fantastic camera with a solid design, accurate light meter and a wide selection of lenses and attachments which if in good condition will be a fantastic addition to any vintage camera collection.

🇩🇪 German Maschinenpistole 5/ MP5 🇩🇪

Special Thanks To @mimoto-sims For Claire’s Outfit... Such A Magnificent Work :)

DOWNLOAD!!!!!

One of the masterpiece in the machine pistol's realm. It's known by it's simplicity, accuracy and relative reasonable price. Designed in H&K as a SMG variant of G3 Rifle and rolled out in 1966. Until today, it's still in the armory of 70 countries around the world, not including the militias which utilises this babies. And now we're gladly bring it tio The Sims 4 format

Variants:

1.Standard Model

H&K MP5A4 & MP5A5 The MP5A4 (fixed stock) and MP5A5 (sliding stock) models, which were introduced in 1974, are available with four-position trigger groups. The pistol grips are straight, lacking the contoured grip and thumb groove of the MP5A1, MP5A2, and MP5A3. The selector lever stops are marked with bullet pictograms rather than letters or numbers (each symbol represents the number of bullets that will be fired when the trigger is pulled and held rearward with a full magazine inserted in the weapon) and are fully ambidextrous (the selector lever is present on each side of the trigger housing). The additional setting of the fire selector, one place before the fully automatic setting, enables a two or three-shot burst firing mode.  the A5 Model Got 2 Stage Of Stock (Retracted and Extended) For Extreme Realism

H&K MP5/10 In 1992, Heckler & Koch introduced the MP5/10 (chambered in 10mm Auto) .which are based on the MP5A4 and MP5A5. These weapons were assembled in fixed and retractable stock configurations (without a separate designation) and are fed from translucent 30-round polymer box magazines. These weapons include a bolt hold-open device, which captures the bolt group in its rear position after expending the last cartridge from the magazine. The bolt is then released by pressing a lever positioned on the left side of the receiver. Both weapons use a barrel with 6 right-hand grooves and a 380 mm (1:15 in) twist rate, and like the MP5-N, both have a 3-lugged muzzle device and a tritium-illuminated front sight aiming dot.

2.Sub Compact Model

H&K MP5K

In 1976, a shortened submachine gun version of the MP5A2 was introduced; the MP5K (K from the German word Kurz = "short") was designed for close quarters battle use by clandestine operations and special services. The MP5K does not have a shoulder stock (the receiver end was covered with a flat end cap, featuring a buffer on the inside and a sling loop on the outside), and the bolt and receiver were shortened at the rear. The resultant lighter bolt led to a higher rate of fire than the standard MP5. The barrel, cocking handle and its cover were shortened and a vertical foregrip was used to replace the standard handguard. The barrel ends at the base of the front sight, which prevents the use of any sort of muzzle device. In 1991, a further variant of the MP5K was developed, designated the MP5K-PDW (PDW—Personal Defense Weapon) that retained the compact dimensions of the MP5K but restored the fire handling characteristics of the full-size MP5A2. The MP5K-PDW uses a side-folding synthetic shoulder stock (made by the U.S. company Choate Machine and Tool), a "Navy" trigger group, a front sight post with a built-in tritium insert and a slightly lengthened threaded, three-lug barrel (analogous to the MP5-N). The stock can be removed and replaced with a receiver endplate; a rotary drum with apertures from the MP5A2 can also be used.

3.Sub Sonic Model

H&K MP5SD5 & H&K MP5SD6

In 1974, H&K initiated design work on a sound-suppressed variant of the MP5, designated the MP5SD (SD—Schalldämpfer, German for "sound suppressor"), which features an integral but detachable aluminium sound suppressor and a lightweight bolt. The weapon's 146 mm (5.7 in) barrel has 30 2.5 mm (0.1 in) ports drilled forward of the chamber through which escaping gases are diverted to the surrounding sealed tubular casing that is screwed onto threading on the barrel's external surface just prior to the ported segment. The suppressor itself is divided into two stages; the initial segment surrounding the ported barrel serves as an expansion chamber for the propellant gases, reducing gas pressure to slow down the acceleration of the projectile. The second, decompression stage occupies the remaining length of the suppressor tube and contains a stamped metal helix separator with several compartments which increase the gas volume and decrease its temperature, deflecting the gases as they exit the muzzle, so muffling the exit report. The bullet leaves the muzzle at subsonic velocity, so it does not generate a sonic shock wave in flight. As a result of reducing the barrel's length and venting propellant gases into the suppressor, the bullet's muzzle velocity was lowered anywhere from 16% to 26% (depending on the ammunition used) while maintaining the weapon's automation and reliability. The weapon was designed to be used with standard supersonic ammunition with the suppressor on at all times. The MP5SD is produced exclusively by H&K in several versions: the MP5SD1 and MP5SD4 (both have a receiver end cap instead of a buttstock), MP5SD2 and MP5SD5 (equipped with a fixed synthetic buttstock) and the MP5SD3 and MP5SD6 (fitted with a collapsible metal stock). The MP5SD1, MP5SD2 and MP5SD3 use a standard 'SEF' trigger group (from the MP5A2 and MP5A3), while the MP5SD4, MP5SD5, and MP5SD6 use the 'Navy' trigger group—a trigger module with a mechanically limited 3-round burst mode and ambidextrous selector controls (from the MP5A4 and MP5A5). A suppressed version was produced for the U.S. Navy—designated the MP5SD-N, which is a version of the MP5SD3 with a retractable metal stock, front sight post with tritium-illuminated dot and a stainless steel suppressor. This model has a modified cocking handle support to account for the slightly larger outside diameter of the suppressor. The design of the suppressor allows the weapon to be fired with water inside, should water enter the device during operation in or near water.

​How would I change the border text to an image, and the image changes based on whether its dark or light mode? This is related to the template that used unplash images. I'm too scared to touch anything on my own 😭

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by border text?? if you mean the sidebar there's a couple of ways to do it - to have it change with dark/light mode, the easiest is probably to use the #story-banner selector. all you need to do is add a new rule in the css with the selector #story-banner, specifying the background image url and size, and then add a second version for the alternate colour mode, like this:

#story-banner { height: 100px; /*specifies size and width of the image box*/ width: 100px; background-image: url(''); /*url of the image you want in light mode*/ margin: 0 auto; /*centres the image box*/ } .dm #story-banner { background-image: url(''); /*url of the image you want in dark mode*/ }

with that added, you can just remove the contents of the StoryCaption/StoryAuthor/StorySubitle passages, or display:none; them in the CSS.

I brought home the Skoda Octavia L&K in November of 2021. Since day one I am in love with this car, the car seems overpriced to a lot of people but the Octavia has to be the most beautiful car in Indian market. The 2.0 liter TSI petrol with snappy 7 speed DSG gearbox is so much fun, the almost imperceptible upshifts seamlessly stitch the power curve to deliver one linear and uninterrupted shove.

Design: You can’t get enough of this design, we are not looking at some crazy road presence or tall huge vehicles it’s just a simply good design which gives that premium feels for every buck you paid for it. It compliments a professional looks like a business car.

The more than enough ground clearance of Octavia surprisingly doesn’t disturb its sports sedan look. This elevated design also reflects in the electric tail gate it goes all the way up from the rear

screen, SUVs are doing this for years but it’s too cool when a sedan does it. It’s easier for boot access. This car is fierce inside out, the cabin is full of stitched soft touch materials and the interior lighting looks amazing with the ambient lighting which can be individually adjusted. This car makes a remark and stands out you will feel the work and effort invested for this design.

Drive: This car will make you smile whenever you have a straight open road. Around the corners the car is great many didn’t find it as good as its previous generation but I come from the XUVs and the Kodiaqs of this worlds, hence any sedan can impress me there. The ride quality is good as the suspension is softened up, which slightly decreases the handling confidence.

The shift by wire technology with this gear selector takes some to get used to. The virtual cockpit of this car is also great works very well. I just love the two-spoke design and the quality of the switchgear, especially the knurled roller controller. Also Octavia has park assist so it can park itself, shockingly too good at it. This car has some really bright and fancy light.

Comfort: The ride is great there is adequate space in the rear but the most comfortable seats are obviously driver and pillion passenger seat. They get memory functions and electric adjust it’s a good place to be. The space at rear is way less than its SUV competition, but hey you saw that coming right? It has the best air conditioner I have ever used the seats are very nice comfortable. The comfort aspect for me is not complete if there isn’t a great fragrance in the car, that’s why I use the involve origin aurum, It makes me feel comfortable and calm while driving and neatly complements the cars comfort level. You can get yours at involveyoursenses.com .

The ambient lighting calms you downand the canton music system has no comparison what so ever. This car gets sunshade for both windows at the rear and also a manual sunshade for the rear screen. 2 USB C at the rear and 2 at the front with a wireless charger, wireless android auto and apple carplay. The car itself doors are strong with thick windows outdoor noise cancellation works very well in this car. We know there can’t be a perfect car. Sunroof is major miss here, this car has an amazing roof I love it but sunroof is must at this point. Rear seat are bit too close to ground. ADAS features are also missing in this car which is a bit disappointing, it has auto braking before collision, the car sometimes brakes on its own at low speeds even when there’s nothing ahead. The infotainment system good but too many controls are in that screen temperature controls are also in that system.

It’s a bit different too operate at first. With a 600 liter boot space this car can fulfill all your business and personal needs of boot. This car is elegant it doesn’t want to be like anyone and stands out very well, reflects what the Czech car maker wanted to convey. Is it overpriced? Depends to which car you are comparing it to. That will be lot of argument and this car misses a lot of things that a car at such price point should come with. Yet it’s the best business family car, trust me this car actually feels like success and to make it smell like success don’t forget to check out involve your senses origin aurum at involveyoursenses.com
