The article "How Do I Lock Back My Pistol Slide?" by Paul Carlson on The Armory Life emphasizes the importance and technique of locking the slide of a semi-automatic handgun, such as a Hellcat, to the rear. It discusses why mastering this skill is crucial for ensuring the gun is unloaded and for managing potential malfunctions. Carlson highlights the challenges new shooters face with the multitasking required and provides step-by-step guidance to execute the maneuver effectively. Key tips include understanding the mechanism, positioning the thumb correctly, and utilizing the support hand for pushing the slide back. The article also suggests an alternative method for those with physical limitations by using an empty magazine to assist in locking the slide. Carlson concludes by encouraging new gun owners to seek quality instruction to reinforce these gun-handling skills.

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.

maybe if the veilguard keeps working together post-game on defending the crossroads or figuring out what the blight is doing now or whatever, we can just prevent lucanis from actually going home and being the first talon even if he is the first talon

in my ideal world someone new meeting the veilguard could say “this is the first talon of the antivan crows???” and lucanis would say “what? oh yeah. i mean, yes, that’s me” and they would say “what do you mean oh yeah” and someone else can helpfully chime in that he’s the cook

this piece in particular is dedicated to and features all of starstruck's competitors in the tourney, starting with jakkle doo from round one, right up to valfrey in the final round. it was a fantastic honour to compete against all of your OCs, and i look forward to hopefully seeing them around plenty more in the future!!

Look, prince charmless, I'm petty and because you're easier to beat up than the worse version of you, I'm gonna do just that

I dislike Jason stans that will swear up and down that Bruce is a monster for refusing to let Jason's crimes slide.

Your fav is blowing up schools, torturing members of the Batfamily, willing to kill in front of children and willing to feed into the drug trade knowing that he's destroying families and people through it, etc. etc., and for what? You really think all that is justified because he died once?

I like Jason as a character, but let's not pretend he's a saint and justified/or excused in what he's doing — because he's not and you shouldn't be surprised Bruce hates it.

Why the hell does expired, unexposed Kodachrome of all things command a premium

“Yes please, I want the film you can’t develop properly. Yes I’m just going to do it as black and white. What? Why would I buy expired Tri-x instead?”

ANYWAYS LOOK HOW CUTE THEY LOOK!!!

[mcytegg]

do you think it was second nature for subz to save zam? to be his protector yet again, after all of this time? its been years since hes done it and their relationship has changed so much— with things like betrayals, paranoia, and fighting on opposite sides ensuring they have never been what they once were.

and yet. and yet. subz still came; zam called for him at his lowest point of this season, when he needed someone the absolute most bc he was once again all alone, it was subz who saved him and protected him from the person who was hunting and killing him repeatedly— and isnt that achingly familiar?
