@SuperPredator can you fix the posting system
I asked one of my friends who is a locomotive operator about this. According to him tanker cars are never partially filled. They are always filled to capacity, all the way up to the little round section where the vent cap is on their top. The result is that they are filled so full that there is only a little bubble at the top, with the specific intent to prevent them from behaving as a non-static load. So you can cross that off of your list of hypotheses. Weâre not having sudden derailments because the railroads are so stupid that they have suddenly started filling tanker cars with non-static loads. After over 100 years of experience moving liquids by rail, the railroads have figured out the static load thing.
And another train derailsâŚ

Regarding that post about co-witness, notice that the Glock rear sight in that photo looks pretty high in comparision to the screen on that red dot. I cannot tell for sure what type of red dot that is (I think it is an RMR) but the rear sight looks pretty high.
To me it doesnât matter if itâs lower 1/3 or absolute. Both are too high and obscure the red dotâs usefulness. My experience with that type of setup with stock height glock sights is that the rear sight blocks your ability to quickly ascertain the red dot by obscuring half of your field of view. It would only be worse with a higher rear sight.
I donât like having the rear sight behind the dot, I prefer a reversed setup with the optic behind the rear sight so the dot remains unblocked by the rear sight and projects over the sight rather than being obscured by it. On a glock I like no irons even better as the overall target picture is much better. The only value in having those iron sights is for when your red dot gets broken.
I guess my point is that it doesnât matter what type of sights heâs got there. The red dot is low enough that even the stock sights are still too high and will block too much of the target.

Good Morning America just had an interview with Sen Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) about the recent school shooting. He said that the problem is that shooters keep using 50 and 100 round magazines so they donât have to reload, and those mags need to be banned.
Come on now, did the recent school shooter actually have 50 or 100 rd magazines, or is this Senator just butt-talking on TV?
Aft strikes again
What issue are you experiencing?
She had a kel tec sub2000 with 30 rd, 9mm shield and unidentified AR with 30 rd
Thanks for clarifying that â I was under the impression that the shooter had 30 round standard capacity mags, and that 50 and 100 rd mags were not involved. That confirms that Senator Richard Blumenthal from CT was intentionally misrepresenting the facts to the media as part of the Democratic Party agenda to ban large magazines. I hate it when they tell lies to suit their anti-Constiutional agenda.
Never mind. Its fixed
Certainly not surprising.
All a distraction to take the spotlight off of Hunter Biden.

Iâm not sure itâs all about protecting HB. There may be bigger forces in play that need protection.
Trump shook up the Washington Establishment and changed a lot of things that they didnât want to be changed. Or exposed. The alligators certainly didnât like his attempts to drain the swamp and they sure as hell donât want him coming back for a second term. Theyâd be much happier with a uniparty candidate who will fit in quietly.
No, I donât think this is about protecting HB. This is all about disqualifying the most dangerous adversary in the upcoming election.
If you are interested in learning Nuclear Tech, I recommend watching the HBO âChernobylâ TV movie.
Especially Episode 5 when the Jared Harris character presents a qualitative presentation of nuclear power plant operation.
Then read Russian nuclear scientist Mikhail Malkoâs paper on Chernobyl -
The mistakes made by the plant managers managed to increase the rate of heating by a factor of about 200, from 3 Gigawatts heating to 600 Gigawatts heating.
Turning the Chernobyl plant into a crude nuclear powered steam and hydrogen bomb. The hydrogen part was essentially a Thermobaric bomb.
THEN listen to the Semester class at MIT, 22-01, the intro-to-Nuclear taught by Michael Short.
I have audited it 6 times - and I learn new things every time I listen to it.
