The Forgotten Inline Engine - GM's 4.2 Liter Atlas
The story of GM's high-tech straight-six (also called the Vortec 4200) and why it died:
https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/the-forgotten-inline-engine-gm-s-42-liter-atlas-i-6-ar174949.html
"That Atlas family had three main members, the front-running 4.2-liter inline-six, the 3.5-liter five-cylinder, and the 2.8-liter four-cylinder. All three shared the same basic architecture and a wide range of parts, though it was the 4.2-liter that led the Atlas program.
The 4.2-liter called the GMT360 platform home. This included the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Oldsmobile Bravada, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X. Each of these mid-sized SUVs shared the same architecture ..."

Investing in Gold
Beginner's Guide to Investing in Gold -
Everything you need to know about how to invest in this precious metal.
https://www.fool.com/investing/the-beginners-guide-to-investing-in-gold.aspx
Contains lots of info about different ways to invest in gold.
Does It Still Pay to Invest in Gold?
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/08/invest-in-gold.asp
" * Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value through thick and through thin.
* Holding gold, however, comes with unique costs and risks, and the data show that historically gold has disappointed on several of its purported virtues."
When Is the Best Time to Invest in Gold?
https://www.newsmax.com/fastfeatures/best-time-invest-gold/2018/03/15/id/847771/
"Traditionally, the value of gold increases as inflation decreases the value of national currency.
... your best bet may be to buy gold during uncertain times."
Should You Buy Gold? - The precious metal may be a good investment—here's why
https://www.thebalance.com/should-you-buy-gold-3140477
"Investing in gold is not like buying stocks or bonds. You can take physical possession of gold by buying either gold coins or gold bullion. ... The value of the bullion or coin comes from its precious metals content and not its rarity and condition, and it can change throughout the day. ...
You can also buy stock in gold mining companies, gold futures contracts, gold-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other regular financial instruments. If investors purchase a gold-backed ETF, they are purchasing shares of a trust's ownership in gold, but have no claim to the physical gold itself.
...
After the price increase in the '70s, gold spent the next 20 years declining in value before going back up around 2000.
...
Gold is often a better hedge against a financial crisis, rather than a hedge against inflation. In times of crisis, gold prices tend to rise. But that is not necessarily the case during periods of high inflation. If there's a financial crisis or recession on the horizon, it may be wise to buy gold. However, if the economy is in a period of high inflation, it may be wise to pass."

Dodge Ram SRT-10
Is the price currently bottoming out as used vehicles ($16K - $30K)?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram_SRT-10
"The first SRT-10 was produced November 10, 2003. Ram SRT-10 production ended after the 2006 model year[7] Total production for the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 was 3,057. For 2005, the total production was 5,113 and the 2006 total production was 1,973.[8] Over the 3-year lifespan of this truck, 10,046 Dodge Ram SRT-10s were manufactured."
"The SRT-10 featured a Chrysler 8.3 liter V10 that was first used in the Viper.[1] This engine produced 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 525 lb⋅ft (712 N⋅m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. The regular cab, with a total curb weight of 5,130 lb (2,327 kg), reached a top speed of 154 mph (248 km/h), and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.9 seconds,[2] whereas the Quad Cab, weighing 5,618 lb (2,548 kg), achieved 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 seconds and reached a top speed of 147 mph (237 km/h).[3] The regular cab could complete the 1⁄4 mi (400 m) in 13.6 seconds at 106 mph (171 km/h),[4] the Quad Cab in 13.7 seconds at 100 mph (161 km/h).[5] The engine produced one horsepower for every 10.3 lbs of vehicle weight in the regular cab. The regular cab generated .86 g of grip on a 300 ft (91 m) skidpad,[4] while the Quad Cab generated .83 g.[5] The regular cab was rated by the EPA at 9 MPG city/15 highway,[4] while the Quad Cab was rated at 9 city/12 MPG highway.[5]
Drivetrain
The V10 Viper engine delivered 90 percent of its torque from 1500 to 5600 rpm. The cast aluminum cylinder block had cast-iron liners and cross-bolted main caps. The bore and stroke had been increased over previous Viper models. Compression ratio, firing order, rod length, block height and block length were unchanged from the second-generation Viper engine. The regular cab featured a Tremec T-56 transmission, while the Quad Cab utilized a 48RE four-speed automatic transmission modified from the Ram Heavy Duty transmission. Both regular cab and Quad Cab used a Dana 60 rear axle."

Devolution to Revolution: An Already Demoralized U.S. is Now Being Destabilized
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/06/devolution_to_revolution_an_already_demoralized_us_is_now_being_destabilized.html
""A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information — the facts tell nothing to him." Just think here about how many today will react to air-tight, fact-based, logical arguments, not with assent or even open-minded pondering, but with angry rejection.
Note here that numbness to Truth is nothing new. British satirist Jonathan Swift observed hundreds of years ago already (I'm paraphrasing) that you "cannot reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into." The difference is that the process of demoralization in question yields large numbers of people egregiously detached from reality in a way that serves a specific agenda, and who are virtually impossible to change."

"Unless we can change our cultural trajectory, tyranny will be our lot. It's just a matter of time."
The Problem with George Will - By J.B. Shurk
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/06/the_problem_with_george_will.html
"George Will's a funny guy. He is willing to aid our ideological foes for our own good. He will teach us how wrong we've been to support President Trump by facilitating Marxist socialism's stranglehold on what's left of America's Constitution. After fighting for Democrats to win everything this November, he will turn around and help us rebuild a Republican Party in his image for the miserable decades to come.
...
Twenty sixteen was a repudiation of the whole political system, including the dainty, impotent brand of conservatism that George Will has spent a lifetime peddling while the hard socialism he pretended to fight grew thicker and more resilient with each passing year.
...
If the Democratic Party represents the Marxist socialists, and the Republican Party concerns itself with making sure that only the "right" people rule while protecting our institutions at all costs, then what choice is left for the average American who puts personal freedom and our original constitutional protections ahead of marble halls and titles of eminence?
Republicans had a smorgasbord of options in 2016 and chose Donald Trump. Instead of reflecting on the meaning of that unexpected choice, Will has spent four years choosing to ignore it. He still does not understand why it happened and why it will happen again in 2020. By waving Trump voters away as little more than brainwashed and easily duped pawns, he clings to an image of the Republican electorate that no longer exists."

Spies Can Eavesdrop by Watching a Light Bulb's Vibrations
The so-called lamphone technique allows for real-time listening in on a room that's hundreds of feet away.
https://www.wired.com/story/lamphone-light-bulb-vibration-spying/
"The list of sophisticated eavesdropping techniques has grown steadily over years: Wiretaps, hacked phones, bugs in the wall—even bouncing lasers off of a building's glass to pick up conversations inside. Now add another tool for audio spies: Any light bulb in a room that might be visible from a window."

The propulsion concept known as EmDrive gets a real test.
A Mythical Form of Space Propulsion Finally Gets a Real Test - Scientists have debated for decades whether the propulsion concept known as EmDrive is real or wishful thinking. A sensitive new tool may at last provide an answer.
https://www.wired.com/story/a-mythical-form-of-space-propulsion-finally-gets-a-real-test/#intcid=recommendations_wired-homepage-right-rail_427cb660-2c1b-45e9-95d2-1fa0abedba19_popular4-1
"First described nearly two decades ago, the EmDrive works by converting electricity into microwaves and channeling this electromagnetic radiation through a conical chamber. In theory, the microwaves can exert force against the walls of the chamber to produce enough thrust to propel a spacecraft once it's in space. At this point, however, the EmDrive exists only as a laboratory prototype, and it's still unclear whether it's able to produce thrust at all. If it does, the forces it generates aren't strong enough to be registered by the naked eye, much less propel a spacecraft."

Retro Hackers Are Building a Better Nintendo Game Boy

"... These underpowered, inexpensive toys are canvases for creativity and experimentation. Groups of hackers who congregate on the r/Gameboy subreddit, on Discord, on Instagram, and across YouTube have been dragging Nintendo's tiny, world-beating machine into the 2020s by creating a cottage industry of parts, custom components, and prebuilt modified Game Boys along the way.
...
Perhaps the best replacement Game Boy display available is from a company called FunnyPlaying (https://funnyplaying.com/). This high-resolution screen has fantastic color and contrast, and it gives anyone who can solder a few wires the option of adding brightness controls.
...
Kyle Capel, CEO of online store Hand Held Legend (https://handheldlegend.com/), stocks a wide variety of mods that can tweak a Game Boy's exterior appearance or bestow it with new functionality. Want to add an internal battery that charges over USB? He's got that. A rainbow of plastic shells and buttons in glow-in-the-dark, translucent, or neon hues? Yep. Custom-cut, scratch-resistant glass screen covers? He's got those too."

Make a Kydex Holster
How to Make a Kydex Holster:
NOTE: other sites suggest 220 Degrees instead of the 300 Degrees mentioned in this tutorial - start low and increase as needed. At that lower temperature, the foam can also be in the
oven.
Avoid using the oven in your kitchen!

Glock 43X Review - 9mm Single Stack CCW, 10+ rounds
https://gununiversity.com/glock-43x/
'The Glock 43x is a hybrid between the newly released Glock 48 and the smallest 9mm pistol offered by Glock, the Glock 43.

The Glock 43x is effectively a Glock 43 with a slightly wider and taller frame to increase the grip size and capacity from 6 rounds to 10 rounds of 9mm."

Hornady 6mm ARC (.243) Released - fits AR-15 magazines
"The 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (6 ARC) by Hornady is a new cartridge that can fire a sleek 6mm (.243) caliber projectile around 2,700 fps with minimal recoil and the 6mm ARC Cartridge is short enough to fit within the dimensions of a standard AR-15 magazine and it performs very well out of an AR-15 with an 18 inch barrel"

""So, effectively a modernized 6.5 Grendel?"
...
It even uses the same bolt and we used Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel-marked magazines in our testing. Here you can see the larger 6mm ARC bolt-face ..."
One last note:
" If you already have a 6.5 Grendel or you want the most energy, then it's probably 6.5 Grendel for you. However, if you're looking at both to consider and you like the idea of low recoil and long range performance with more efficient bullets, you should get a 6mm ARC."
Compare this to the 6mm/223 - 6X45 ...
