There was a try of some ammo today

A very short one.  Details on that later.  Right now it's time to take care of the 7th eve data, before I get a shower and collapse, it's been a long day.




































Yes, Musk started the information dump,

and it's interesting, with more to come.  

'Interesting' includes
36.Twitter files continued: "THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE”
Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"


Going to be real interesting, especially as leftists try really hard to say "This doesn't mean anything!"

History becomes more interesting

This is by a lady named Simonetta Gatto over on Bookface: 
WHEN SEAL FUR WAS USED AS UNDERWEAR

How did the indigenous women of the Arctic regions dress before the advent of modern low-temperature clothing? In skins, of course, with a special predilection for seal fur because it is airy and waterproof, preventing sweat from freezing up. And not just one layer, but several, making me wander how they managed to walk, never mind jump in and out of sledges or help build an itinerant home.

Those women lived in what today are North Scandinavia, Greenland, Siberia and North America, but they wore garments which are surprisingly similar: two crotch-high boots, a pair of short trousers, an inner vest or dress, sometimes a decorated apron, a cumbersome parka, and underwear. Of course, since their cultures were widely different, so were the details of their dress, each culture influenced by different artistic styles. This diversity is shown in the embroidery designs, accessories, apron shapes and sizes, button arrangements, and jacket lengths, which together form a fascinating insight into human ingenuity.



She says this one is from east Greenland.
Where it undoubtedly helped warm things up at night.

Let us now go to the sixth evening stuff

Especially since it warmed up a bit but it's threatening to rain.







































Before I get to the usual sixth eve stuff, Musk did indeed start releasing stuff,

and the usual suspects are pissed.  Hugely.

Good.  Especially with crap like this:
"THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE”
Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"


There's a lot  more.

All you wanted to know about Metal Injection Molding,

or maybe you didn't but it's interesting.  I knew a little about it, this series at RevolverGuy covers it with quite a bit of detail.

I will throw in that when he talks about all the chips produced by machining, that stuff does not get thrown away, it's all saved and sold back to a foundry.  They know exactly what steel/aluminum alloy/bronze/whatever the stuff is, which makes the foundry very happy to get it.  Not having to deal as much with the chips can be a handy thing.
