Speaking of devices, and what might make them not work,
a story about once working on a S&W revolver.
I like their revolvers, they tend to be accurate and reliable. This one was a target revolver that had an overtravel stop: this is a small piece held in and adjusted by a screw fits in a slot cut in the rear of the trigger guard, you can move it out so that the trigger can move just enough to drop the hammer. Yeah, it's a target -shooting thing.

I disassembled it enough to reach and adjust the piece, then put those pieces back in, then put the sideplate back in, put in the cylinder, and tried it. The cylinder stop wasn't working right, and after you pulled the trigger the hammer had to be pulled back slightly for the trigger to engage the sear. Which left me sitting there wondering what the hell...
Take it back down, check everything(no, I hadn't forgotten anything), and finally thought "What did I change?", then took it back down and looked. As that piece had rotated in the slot some of it now protruded from the back of that slot, so slightly that you almost had to feel it. Loosen the screw, move the stop around, make sure none was sticking out on the inside, then put it back together and try it. And all is well.
That piece affected stuff far from it, and I'm not sure how. Apparently it was affecting the trigger rebound slide enough- just- to cause this odd problem even though the slide fit back in.

Yes, I'd messed with such before. No, this had never happened before. And it won't again.

'The Story of an Industrial Flop'
In this case MRNA vaccines. Which is doing real damage to vaccines in general, and trust in the public health clowns.
This signals the end of an era of pharmaceutical innovation marked by arrogance, huge expenditure, wild risk taking, decades of skullduggery, and experiments on the population that will go down in history. Jay and RFK deserve congratulations for finally codifying the fate accompli, but the verdict had already been rendered by the public.
The public has long been skeptical of these injections. Even in the summer of 2021, I gave a speech in which I improvised an unexpected laugh line about how governments are always claiming to do good things for us while forcing on us things we don’t want. Listing taxes, public radio, foreign wars, and inflation, I included mRNA injection.
The crowd went wild. Of course this was a time of intensifying mandates in all sectors. People were forced to get a shot they did not need or want, and you could feel the outrage growing. Whole cities were segregated by vaccine status. Students were being kicked out of school and professors losing their jobs too. Even nurses who had risked it all and gained natural immunity were forced to inoculate themselves.
It was the same summer in which the people’s favorite COVID vaccine, the one-and-done produced by J&J that used a different method of delivery, was pulled off the market by none other than Anthony Fauci. It was part of a long effort to boost one method of delivering immunity (mRNA) over every other option.
Which makes me wonder just how rich Fauci became in this.
I'll also note that the one time my doc tried to talk me into getting a Wuhan vaccine, he specified the J&J vaccine.
More on the studies here.
There really are people, both in .gov and private businesses, who need to be in cells over this, and it wouldn't hurt people's feelings if some of them wound up on a rope. Like the bastards who pushed to have children be required to take this garbage.

A general gathering of stuff
Scientists looking at the aftermath of a major quake.
Between other things that've been coming out about vaccines, and then this, we trust these bastards why? There are vaccines that have done wonders, and then it seems there are some that the 'safety testing' seems to be 'Let's make people take this, and see how many have bad problems from it.' Which is not a way to gain trust from people, you bastards.

Which is not a way to gain trust from people, you bastards.
When they were deciding whether to recommend the Wuhan vaccine* for children, there were two things from the board:
One was a guy who said "There are questions, but we wanted a unanimous outcome on the vote, so I voted for it."
Second was one of the others who, near as I can remember, said "At some point we have to start giving this to kids to find out if it's actually safe."
The first guy I wanted fired immediately.
The second I wanted hanged. From a tree or lamppost outside the entrance to that building. Because what we've been told all these years is it's tested for safety BEFORE THEY GIVE IT TO KIDS, or anyone else...
No, they did not do that profession any favors, and if they're wondering why people don't trust them anymore, they're idiots.

*I got pissed when the media, in one day, all started playing 'Calling it a new Chinese virus or calling it after the place it came from- the way it's been done for a loooong time- is racist!' really pissed me off. So I still call it Wuhan.
I swear, if you read the 'possible problems' from taking a medication,
you half wonder if they spun a dial to see "Which shall we prescribe to someone who may have a problem that matches the possible problems of these various meds?" Bleep.

After that piece about 'no way the Brits could actually pull off a revolt' a few days ago,
we have this:
Colonel Richard Kemp, a high-profile Infantry officer who fought counter insurgency on home ground in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, served in the Gulf war and Bosnia, commanded an Afghanistan operation, and who had political-facing senior roles in Westminster including the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, has expressed concern about unrest and even civil war potentially breaking out in Britain.
The Colonel’s comments in many regards echo those by top academic David Betz, professor of war in the modern world at King’s College London’s prestigious War Studies department, who says his research has led him to believe the classic preconditions for civil war are already present in many Western nations, and particularly the UK.
...
The United Kingdom and the broader West face a “primary threat” from an alliance of “hard left and Islamist extremists who have, together with other causes, come together to threaten the cohesion and the culture, the entire culture and political existence of the West,” Colonel Kemp said. This nexus, in his view, is “fostered by,” and “funded to a large extent, by our international enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and other countries as well”.
Kemp, who is openly conservative and who is something of a Bête noire for the UK left over his support for Israel, expressed concern that because the British political system produces leaders who are necessarily risk-averse and short-sighted, the political levers available to avert a crisis in the United Kingdom won’t be used. He told Tomlinson that, in general, politicians are “in a state of bewilderment, they’re like rabbits in headlights,” privately understanding what the problems are but not how to deal with them.
...
All of this adds up to a political crisis that can’t be solved, and increasingly desperate people who want to live in a Britain that makes sense. Kemp continued: “I’d hate to be right on this, but I believe that I know there is no political solution to the situation Britain faces today. When I say there is no solution, I don’t mean there actually isn’t a solution, but there is no solution that any of our politicians are willing to take… because they are afraid of doing anything significant”.
So leftists and islamists align*, and the chickenshit and traitorous politicians cannot or will not act realistically. Oh yeah, that's working out great, isn't it?
