The article from The Armory Life explores whether the 1911 pistol is inherently dangerous to carry, often due to its cocked hammer position. Authored by Massad Ayoob, it suggests that while the original design can discharge if dropped, modern 1911 models have been improved with safety features like lightweight firing pins and heavier springs to prevent accidental discharge. The design encompasses a thumb safety and a grip safety, both crucial for handling the gun safely. Carrying the gun in a "cocked and locked" position, known as "Condition One," is advised for self-defense as it offers immediate readiness. Additionally, the article highlights the importance of weapon retention, suggesting that the 1911's safety features can be advantageous during disarmament situations. With proper safety mechanisms, the 1911 is deemed a secure and effective firearm choice for informed and trained owners.

i do have to wonder how much of tfone megatron's mentality during the civil war is going to be just him falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

how much of everything that he does is going to be him thinking "it has to be worth it. everything that i'm doing, it has to be worth it" because he's already lost too much to ever go back.

he has to commit because there's nothing left for him to return to.

because he shot his best friend.

because he killed his best friend.

because he told sentinel he had nothing left to lose and he was wrong and it was because of sentinel that he lost the person he cared the most about in the world. so it has to be worth it. losing orion to kill sentinel has to be worth it.

he already paid the highest price possible in his eyes, so nothing that comes after that can be too much. it has to be worth it because he has nothing left otherwise.

optimus can never be right, the autbots can never win, he can never lose the war because otherwise he killed his best friend for nothing and that's not something he can allow.

so. it has to be worth it.

There is something to be said for comparing how Hot Guy interacts with Cute Guy generally vs how he interacts with Grian in the most recent chapter.

Steve Horsman, an experienced figure in military and law enforcement, shares insights on guiding new gun buyers in selecting their first concealment pistol. He emphasizes that the choice depends on the intended use of the firearm, sparking thoughtful consideration among purchasers. Horsman recounts helping a friend in her 50s, who initially leaned towards a full-size service pistol but eventually chose the Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2 OSP 9mm for its ease of operation and suitability for her needs. This preference among new shooters is attributed to the pistol's controllability, concealability, light recoil, grip texture, sight visibility, and ambidextrous features. Horsman himself praises the XD-S Mod.2 for its ergonomic improvements and new features like the Grip X-Tension magazine. The article underscores the importance of thoughtful selection and personalization in firearm purchases.

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

amidst the flood of excited screaming over the sudden tonal shift in episode 11 of Dungeon Meshi, I have seen a few anime-only viewers who are a bit... put off by it?? some feeling that they were lied to, or accusing the story of abandoning its premise and feel-good vibes.

all I can say to those people without spoiling things is this: TRUST THE PROCESS. this tonal shift didn't come out of nowhere, and it wasn't put in merely for shock value. Dungeon Meshi is a carefully crafted work with themes that carry from its opening moments all the way through to its conclusion. as the story unfolds, those themes are expanded upon and explored in truly remarkable and unexpected ways. it is, when viewed in its entirety, one of the most cohesive and beautifully told narratives in the anime/manga space.

as for those feel-good vibes?? they never truly leave, in fact imho they only grow stronger as the story progresses in spite of its increasingly dark moments. and there WILL be dark moments. man oh man, y'all have seen NOTHING yet. but again: TRUST THE PROCESS. believe in these characters, in their tenacity, in their love for each other. no matter how dire things get, believe that there will always be a warm campfire and a delicious meal waiting for them at the end.

Two Bumblebees

Seen some people being a bit vexed that Bumblebee was in the Transformers One movie- because that made him old. And as a trope Bumblebee's often been described as being one of the youngest autobots- Even one of the youngest cybertronians to be forged before the fall of the planet. That might be fanon though i'm not sure.

I don't have a problem with it. I love Bee no matter the continuity. But it got me thinking.

To this I propose a solution: B-127 dies. The start of the war goes on and eventually Primus is like "Oh frag they need the yellow one" and pop him back out before he clocks out. And bam. Another B-127, fresh and young. Same spark.

It would be a pretty angsty Au. Because Bee freaking dies obviously. And Prime (and Elita and Megatron too tbh) has to deal with that.

Maybe it's what makes the war take a turn for the worst, who knows. Then millenia pass and they all see that fresh yellow bot with the SAME NAME appear and they have FEELINGS about it. (or maybe he's named after Bee or something, he becomes Prime's scout too)

Thought we know it's the same spark in both bots. They don't know that. Bee doesn't know that. Only Primus knows and he heckin ded brosquies.

Megatron rips out the voice box of this new young Bee because it reminds him of the last one. Optimus is even more of a dad to young Bee. Elita is still her very angry self and teaches bee how to fight in heels (probably) All the autobots and Decepticons feel like they're seeing a ghost and even tho they think they're not the same bot it's unfair old Bee's lookalike is the one that survived.

sssO many possibilities.

What we thinking? I kinda wanna maybe write that. BUT- I'm already writting DeceptiBee Au... Or I can bring this idea in the DeceptiBee Au... *holds gun to B-127 head*
