Great breakdowns in the comments already.

One thing I'm not hearing as a problem from others: ergonomics. From your design, that hammer looks all but impossible to cock one handed. Someone mentioned it could be double action, but its been my experience that firing single action (even with double action revolvers) is just better for accuracy and recoil handling.

That said, I don't do a lot of revolvers, so I may be misjudging how viable this is on that single point.

Still, it kinda looks cool in a retro-steampunk kinda way. I doubt it'd have the utility for real world use, but I'm sure someone would buy it for "cool gun" reasons (read as the worst reason I expect we've all suffered from).

Tsk tsk, someone obviously hasn't seen the obvious superiority of the Sadeas military strategy.

This reads like an LLM trying to impersonate a human who is trying to impersonate an early generation LLM.

And I am here for it.

Lmao, love those descriptions.

It was more the second one (tho I think the dose was small enough to miss the full jerked off effect).

But it also wasn't a full "being put under" (they said they were aiming for a full under situation, but that they really just needed to "turn off" my sensitivity in some sensitive spots), and so I have at least a fuzzy memory of everything that happened along the way.

I'm not sure.

I want to say they gave me two stages of anesthetic, but I also think fentanyl was the first of the two stages (counter to what you're saying should have happened). But also, I'm at best an amateur at chemistry; even less when it comes to medicine. That said, reasonably certain what they gave me was not milky nor did it burn going in (you'll have to excuse me if I misremember any deets, it was my first time going under and I was irrationally nervous about it)

I could have some things mixed up, but it did stand out in my mind that they used fentanyl (and I remember how fuckin' nice it felt when they threw it in my veins). But that's how I remember it.

Came here to say this. Glad I was beaten to it.

I can see some reasons to not want to get Google hardware, but I can I ask you to explain your reason (in case you have some good reason I didn't think of).

Had a minor surgery earlier this year. They gave me fentanyl as the drug to put me under. Was hella surprised about it. Also I see why people love that shit so much.

But also for fentanyl's danger, I think it comes down to how small a dose you need to hit the LD50/50 point is so low that you can hit it by accident without even trying. Street drugs are also being laced with Fentanyl and not in safe / well regulated doses. If you had a lab grade supplier, it'd probably be safer / easier to do safely.....but I don't think that's what people are doing...

I've had the resources and intent to build a new PC since about Aug of this year, but was busy with some major work projects + some mid-tier family drama, so kicked it down the road with the goals of pulling the trigger over the holidays.

Fuck, what a mistake that was.

Though far less egregious than OP's case, I have a similar issue.

It commonly happens after commenting or giving 3+ up/down votes to comments in a post (specifically, view changes after giving votes, then returning from post-view to feed-view.)

Normal View

And ofc can't replicate the view change atm.

Yup, this (I feel) is one of the few areas where AI is valuable.

I've got a buddy who just got hired on at a large company as a software developer. Apparently their code base is so arcane and in such unusual frameworks that they recently fed all their documentation to an LLM and are using that to help onboard new employees (vs trying to have experts try to train up people personally).

While I think having a clean and clear codebase should have been their priority, patching it over with an AI teacher is far from the worst solution.
