@PlumpCat Keep in mind the chemistries and form factors are mostly independent... You can find virtually any chemistry in any form factor.

LiFePO4 is my favorite all around... Li-ion usb chargables are super cool, and as NiMh is quite nice when you want to abuse your batteries :)

I have a huge 12V car-battery style battery which is actually Li-ion and the charging regulator is built in, so you can charge it by just attached 14V to it and walking away.. even has a little battery % indicator... being as large as it is it has insane power capacity while being fairly light.

The return to work post COVID bit is fairly accurate. Joe doesnt get credit for that.

The bit about working two jobs however, true or not, isnt valid.. if a economy has enough jobs that you have the option to work two, great, nothing wrong with that. A better way to address that concern is to look at how the average wage may have changed. If people need to work more HOURS for the same pay, then yea, but that is regardless of how many jobs they may have.

Am i the only one who collects every possible chemistry of battery he can get his hands on?

@Clementulus yea their security is a bit insane even i thr best of circumstances.

@Clementulus When I traveled to Israel about 2 years ago at the border they asked "Do you have any weapons?"... I responded, while flexing "Just these guns!"... long story short they took me in the back and questioned me for like 3 hours before they let me in :)

@flab

Ok so watched a few videos and, as expected, the actual answer is nuanced.

When shooting ballistic gel with no MDF, and using a FMJ bullet, then the 9mm indeed does have noticably more penetration. However if you are in a situation where you dont want deep penetration then you would be using hollow point...

When shooting hollow point on ballistic gel without MDF then 9mm and 0.45 ACP has exactly the same penetration. I t should be noted the 0.45 ACP while having the same penetration also did more damage to the gel in terms of cavity size... So in this particular test the .45 is superior as it has more stopping power for the same penetration.

When using MDF in front of the ballistic gel, however, we find the .45 ACP is significantly more penetrating than the 9mm.

so would seem that while the FMJ certainly gave results consistent with your claim, the more real world scenario of the hollow point in fact was counter to your claim and consistent with mine, that the ACP will be more penetrating than the 9mm.

@TruthSandwich

thanks, I know you werent asking for that.. Generally our policy is we block servers that **condone** intentional block evasion. That doesnt apply here as the admin gave a warning, so I dont think there is any further action to be taken.

I am glad this was resolved all around.

Thanks for that, I will review this users public history to see if anything sticks out. But if their history doesnt show a pattern of block-evasion, and they were given a warning, then that satisfies me at the server level. We may silence the individual user (thats up to our mods) but I will recommend we remain federated with the server since you took action.

@jerry

Hi, this may indeed be a legitimate case of block evasion, but before we block the server we like to verify a few things (as well as give the admin a chance to respond if they would like).

For starters, we need to show the user not just was blocked but **knew** they were and were **intentionally** evading the block. Can you point me to the original post where you notify the user was blocked (or the interaction where it was clear)? This would help us evaluate if it is indeed intentional.

@flab well no, if we are talking theory then its a bit more complicated than that...

More velocity for the same weight projectile will obviously be more penetrating, but thats because it has more energy. But a higher velocity projectile at the same energy (so lighter) will be less penetrating. A 9mm is faster but has less energy thus shoukd be less penetrating in theory.

Let me try to find some ballistic gel tests on this to see if i can find a good real world answer though. Theory isnt always correct.

@flab Do you have any experimental sources for that? The significantly higher energy woukd seem to offset that, but im only speculating.

@Pat I have no doubt that was the case...

@flab are you suggesting a .45 acp has less penetration than a 9mm?

Lol ya gotta give the government points for consistency at least...
