While I am not an alarmist about this, or (normally) a conspiracy theorist, this ^^ is in fact true. I spent over 20 years developing AI methodologies and systems for some of the large pharmaceutical companies (to aid in drug discovery and and discovery of adverse events of drugs in large...

But things like this are so general and vague that they're not helpful to anyone. For example, it takes me microseconds to get "out" of my system, but given even reasonable safeguards it should take at least days of concentrated effort and huge computing power to get "into" it (and I suspect it...

HERE? Absolutely not. 😂 😂 😂 You could only hope for a collection of insightful and well-reasoned and experience-based options presented in a coherent and thoughtful manner. And we see that all the time here -- right?

Well, if they had one built, then it would have been built specifically for them, right? So it would have fit the buyer. That would eliminate any amount of improvising, adapting, and overcoming -- just as buying a custom-made gun or stock does today. I don't quite get what seems to be the...

Yes, if someone specifically targets you and can get through the security on your router, and on your home network, and then on your system. That scenario is highly unrealistic. And if they can do that, they're not in it to see how you look on your camera or what you do in front of your...

I (seriously) don't understand what's being asked here. Could you rephrase this or expand on what it is you're looking for in terms of an answer?

Y'all ought to learn how to turn those cameras on and off with the computer they're in. Click on / click off. Save you a lot of tape, maybe. In full disclosure, I don't ever use my onboard camera, but use a USB web cam for family Zoom meetings. So I think my built-in one is always off because...

Makes a huge difference to me for bench shooting.

Height is really what we in the biomed world call a "surrogate indicator". What really matters is your arm length, length of neck, maybe head size/shape.

There's a bunch of videos on YouTube. Just look for (duh) "carpenter bee traps". They're really easy to make, and mine collect huge numbers of carpenter bees. Basically you take a piece of 4x4 that's about 4" long and drill about a half-inch hole straight up in the center from the bottom, but...

And I'm sure that's true ... but it's not fun. 😂

I love them -- in the abstract. Just find O/Us easier to hit something with. :rolleyes: I ALWAYS wanted one of these. Never had the money or the reasonable excuse to get one. One of the major failures in my life. :confused: Never enamored with them. But I did have an M14 that I reloaded...

On my CZ 455 I use short lengths of 1/2" PVC for the spacers. 😂 It actually looks pretty cool -- like a "skeletonized" butt stock. It's a startling-looking little rifle with that big scope, the recoil pad spacers, and because I managed to catch the stock on sale in part because it's one of the...

In general, a slight difference in LOP for most practical purposes may not make much difference in comfort and results. But a larger difference in LOP, at least for me, makes a noticeable difference in comfort, automatically mounting the gun correctly, and consistency of shooting (mostly...

Mine are too. Guess we're done. 😂

Pretty sure most of this is for crypto-currency mining, plus of course the huge demand for online gaming and increase in demands for ecommerce, logistics, social media (including online forums), high-speed video news feeds for every outlet down to the county and town level nowadays, etc. But I...

It's probably true that if people would actually search old posts and archives, there wouldn't be any new postings except the "For Sale" and the political ones -- and the political ones could be eliminated as well except that people get a lot of pleasure from saying the same things there, over...

I have one of those and have used it -- though I don't really need to, so it just sits in my bag. For flies, they work well because of how they align the eye with the monofilament "channel". But also just search for things like "needle threader". Umqua makes one that's very simple and...

Ummm ... and speaking of mirrors, if you'll pardon a reference that's oblique in a couple of ways here ... I'll see your Latin quote (though I did actually make a catapult -- more precisely, a trebuchet -- a couple of years ago) and raise you this: “If I had a world of my own, everything would...

Of course, the bore guide itself can get abrasive material embeded in it if you don't keep it reasonably clean.
