  • My spouse lost their Mon around that age 25 years ago (dead by 40’s), I just lost mine (still too young, early 70’s).

    It doesn’t really get easier, but maybe I’m better equipped to handle it. Unfortunately I think I may have a bit too good of an idea about what is going on, just not what to do about it.

    Meanwhile, my friend has a 99yo mom and will still be devastated at the impending loss.

    Stay strong.








  • If people follow an organized religion I do assume they accept, or at least don’t outwardly reject, the tenants of that theology. So, it is functionally identical to me, if not to their own internal monologue.

    So, sure I’m assuming a complex, spectrum-based identity as a binary, uniform contract. However, this is probably just a defence mechanism from living amongst the crazy ones for too long.







  • My ridiculous hypothesis of it being a low penetration weapon designed for time travelers to leave no trace when traveling to the 1942-1957 time period when the M3 was still in use was a bit of a stretch.

    However Having a weapon loaded with non penetration rounds for home defence is the American Way, despite a fully automatic SMG being a comically poor choice.


  • Based on my extensive research (of shooting everything I could find as a teenager), an open pornography magazine will not cause even a frangible (Glaser Safety Slugs or sintered copper and tin powder training rounds) to disintegrate. Heck they will pass though drywall sometimes.

    However a phonebook (Google it) will stop FMJ 9mm ACP. While 308 will penetrate the phone book and the tree trunk it was tied to.



  • Continuing this very silly premise…

    The Hustler magazine being made of metal plate seems unlikely.

    The rounds disappearing on impact with shredded paper is not explained by the frangible round hypothesis.

    However, it is possible he is using some advanced tech (indistinguishable from magic), as he has a time machine. Maybe he keeps his antique submachine gun stocked with less than lethal rounds that leave no round behind, though it still drops brass… Such are the mysteries of time travel.
