The official Good Morning, Good Night and just plain BS'n thread

I think of users often but am spread to thin to cover all the bases, I thought Festus was with us too but :man_shrugging:

My email user list is over 15k and I’m 3k into it, I’m just doing bulk sections rather than hunting users, emails cost money so we just have to do what we can how and when we can

Not sure I would stand next to someone shooting that. Hope he was using low pressure loads.

Festus goes back to MCARBO, surprised he hasn’t found us.

Honestly I think he had them sorta hot … I did stand about 4 to 5 feet away once . He was at the next table beside me. He was a teacher here in this county.

The trap door on several occasions was hard to close . And I seen him trying to pound it into place. Thats when I went over and took a closer look I couldnt see anything wring with it. He acted nervous or in a rush … which sirta threw me off a little bit.

Meaning pounding a trap door closed is bad practice?

Huh :thinking:

So they are daily?

I thought they were simply a constant :man_shrugging:

I don’t know much about the Springfields but something sure doesn’t sound right.

Mornin Yall.
Those old trapdoors were designed for low pressure black powder rounds. A lot of the modern ammo will blow those guns up.

He did say they was Blackpowder loads… but man that sucker had a loud report and there wasnt much powder smoke floating in the air… I expected a little more … maybe I’m wrong there… the rounds looked like regular modern brass and cast lead

well, think I need to go check my eye lids for cracks . later folks

Modern BP in a long barrel firearm doesn’t produce a lot of smoke on a nice day. We were noticing that on the 4th. During hunting season, cool wet air, same load looks like a civil war re-enactment.

Sounds like a conspiracy :grin:

Now, on to serious matters

A message from your leaders

https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/un75-unexpected-message-future

ā€œTo you who have successfully received and decoded this message, greetings! We are sending this message back in time from 2045 in the hope that its recipients will recognize the profound importance of the period from 2020 to our present. We are at the cusp of the middle of the 21st Century. The past 25 years have been critical to our survival as a society and as a species, for it was in 2020 that it was finally recognized that our only hope was to focus intensely and resolutely on the development of new technologies to cope with the crisis of global warming and its side-effects.

Information processing, data sciences, machine learning and more general artificial intelligence have all had a role to play in containing the consequences of the positive feedback loop of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that have run rampant since the dawn of the 19th Century. A major effort to deploy dense and widespread sensor systems on land, on the sea and in space provided the raw data we needed to understand, model, analyze and ultimately counter some of the worst side effects of climate change. Thanks to the rapid deployment of the Internet using low Earth-orbiting satellites, escalating submarine cable connections and widespread radio connectivity, a global environmental sensing system was set up thanks to the agreements put in motion by the UN Secretary-General’s prescient invitation for the nations of the world to make digital cooperation a reality.

Agreements were reached on standards for information sharing, massive data and metadata accumulation and new analytic tools, some based on sophisticated machine learning methods. We were able to model in far more detail than before the interactions of atmosphere, ocean and the effects of cloud cover to predict climate and weather conditions more precisely. Sophisticated genetic modeling allowed botanists to develop new species able to survive and thrive in warmer, dryer climates and in saltier water conditions. Ocean flora and fauna were introduced that were capable of living in the more acidic surface ocean layers near continental boundaries.

A particularly important development came around 2030 with a breakthrough in energy storage technology allowing electrical energy to be stored cheaply and efficiently and in vast quantities. Energy from intermittent power sources such as wind and solar was harvested and stored for use when needed. Equally important, new designs for meltdown-resistant nuclear reactors were finally approved and construction begun. These systems burned ā€œspent fuelā€ from much older and less efficient nuclear power plants.

In our time, the Internet has become ubiquitous, accessible everywhere and in copious capacity. Most access is wireless although all such systems ultimately ā€œgo to groundā€ in the form of optical fiber networks girdling the globe. Information is available in all languages and discoverable through fully accessible applications usable by everyone. We have also come to grips with the pernicious and toxic consequences of unbridled social media. Recognizing the incentives for economic and societal harm seemingly implicit in online environments and the weaknesses of the technical information infrastructure on which we increasingly depended, cooperative regulatory guidelines were agreed among the nations of the world and enforced through broadly adopted treaties.

Knowing what is possible is 90% of the way to overcoming skepticism and uncertainty. We here in the future commend you of our past for your brave and determined initiatives to re-invent the world for your future descendants. Please know that the effort has been worth it!ā€

Make sure you all do your part and follow along inline.
