    Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?

    Either way that’s a small fucking mag even for a round like 5.56 (standard us rifle round). You could easily stuff 4-5 in your two pants pockets.

    Sticking with the 5.56 example, push the mag in, hit the bolt release to load the first round, pull the trigger and the next is auto loaded. Pull the trigger for each bullet and when there are no more the bolt will stay locked back. You push the mag release button, mag falls out, then you just slide a new mag in. Hit the bolt catch release and it will load the next round.

    It’s easy as fuck, no the goal isn’t to reload once a day. If anything the goal would be to hit the target with as few bullets possible x the person you replied to was just being facetious.

    here is an excellent example animation that covers the entire sequence from load to fire. Most of it is irrelevant but if you actually care you can jump around using the chapters

    The only laborious thing about reloading is putting each round in one by one. The video shows a 30 round mag so think of a mag 1/3rd of that for this post context. With stripper clips or a speed reloaded it’s easy and quick af. Realistically you’d go out with preloaded mags instead of a box of bullets you load on the fly. Always a good idea to take extra cartridges tho.

    Nfts are not simply images on the blockchain. The technology is not a scam even if scammers use one aspect of it to sell pixels for ridiculous sums of money

    But please, don’t let me stand in the way of a misinformed circlejerk

    I wonder if that has anything to do with the growth of the right.

    No doubt plays a role, but I’d say it has more to do with the media’s obsession with getting paid. They are a business first and foremost, journalistic integrity be damned. They pushed stories they knew would get clicks without any regard to the facts or properly framing the issue.

    Yeah pay walls don’t help but they didn’t cause the issues we’re seeing. Those that follow the actual fake news that conservatives push weren’t reading articles anyway, the paywall wasn’t what kept them from reading and researching properly.

    For VPN, I use mullvad which is quite reasonable in pricing and is quite good with speeds and such as well as privacy concerns.

    Back when I used OS X for torrents I used an app called Transmission. Not sure if it still exists or if there are better alternatives these days. (Edit: transmission app’s website)

    I can’t help when it comes to courses tho, you just need to find a torrent site like torrentleech or ipt or whatever that has the content you’re looking for.

    I say learn about torrents first, don’t bother talking about what you want to torrent. Once you have a working understanding then go in search of the niche content you’re talking about here.

    Feel free to ask me any torrent related questions
