Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SuperjazzyJa]

A point of clarification, this is aimed at no one here in particular, and anyone in general who won't let a point drop

Can we get back to thinking randomly now?

If there is nothing more to say about a topic, reacting to another person's post with "like", "love", "ha-ha", etc is a good way to let a particular topic end.

When entering or exiting a car or any kind of truck, we say "I got in (or into) my car/truck." or "I got out my car/truck." When we enter or exit a bus we say "I got on or off the bus." It's actually getting into or out of a bus unless you ride on the top tier of a double decker bus with an open top (I haven't seen a double decker bus in literally decades). So, why do we still talk about getting on or off of a bus?

I wonder if there is an antonym for "hypochondriac". A person who refuses to admit being sick/having a condition or being injured. Asking for a friend.

A phenomenon that is likely being under-reported.

The Browning animation doesn't show trigger activation movement and should run slower. Otherwise, interesting.

1911 slam- fire. Yes, this is a thing.

After shooting 100 trouble-free rounds through my Springfield mil-spec at the range today, and doing a BASIC disassembly (didn't take down the frame) and cleaning, I locked the slide to the rear, inserted a mag of Federal 230 grain ball, pointed in a safe direction (down) and released the slide...
