This is the first time I've heard of Scuttlebutt. Thank you for the introduction.

For your multiple-device problem, I would suggest trying Syncthing. It allows you keep folders synced between devices over a local network. I use it for a very similar application to what you are describing:

Logsec is a journal/note-taking software that stores each entry as it's own markdown file. I use it on my phone, laptop and desktop, and want to have all my notes synced between devices. I could put the folder of markdown files on a cloud server, but choose not to. Instead, I setup a link between each device's Logsec folder through Syncthing.

Now I can add or update notes on my phone when out in public, and when I return home and reconnect to my WiFi it automatically updates the other devices on the network. Also, when editing the markdown files on my desktop, the updates are synced to my phone nearly instantaneously.

I expect this method would work very well with Scuttlebutt due to it's similar offline nature.

I've already posted a video of a complete trajectory reversal. Maybe you didn't watch it, but otherwise you're being stubbornly ignorant choosing to completely ignore video evidence. Also, a 1/2 mile really isn't far for something moving over 3000 ft/s. It's clear you're not speaking from an educated position on this topic.

My point is not that heavy volume is required for this to happen, and it's strange how you could jump to that conclusion.

Instead, a higher rate of fire gives more opportunities to witness anomolies between shots, within a given time. Combine this with tracers, and now you can easily follow these paths, before and after each bullet hits it's initial target.

With a 6000 round-per-minute minigun, even if you only see one tracer bounce away every second, that demonstrates a 1% chance for every round to deflect and hit somewhere unintended.

Considering that the tracers are normally spaced out on a belt, with other rounds between them; the sample size can be reduced further, and this chance becomes multiple times higher.

When yearly machine-gun shoots were still hosted in Knob Creek, Kentucky, the range staffed people left and right of the firing line with fire extinguishers. After the 'finale' occurred and weapons were cleared, they would run out onto the hills beside the range.

With multiple miniguns firing alongside other automatics, and the insane number of rounds fired downrange, it was inevitable to have more than enough hot tracers land in the brush of these hills to start multiple small fires.

The possibility of ricochet injury is simply matter of probability. Sure, I would never claim this is the most probable explanation, but it's silly to claim there's absolutely no chance this could happen.

If you've seen tracer fire in real life, I doubt you would keep that position. The fact that a falling bullet traveling at terminal velocity is enough to kill or injure someone, combined with the fact that bullets travel for miles would instantly tell you otherwise. Watch tracers fired at night and you can see how frequent ricochets are when hitting a mix of rocks in dirt. The last video I shared already demonstrated that complete trajectory reversals are even possible, not that this is even required in this circumstance.

The baseball field is only about 1/2 mile from the range backstop (about 22% of a 5.56 bullet's maximum range). All it would take is a rock plowed up into an inopportune position on the berm to set off a freak accident. Now, as I've said in another comment, I absolutely don't believe this is the most likely explanation; however, to discount it as an impossibility is ignorant.

I agree that fuckery is the most likely explanation in this case. However, ricochets do not need to remain at a constant height or velocity to hurt someone. A round bounced backward and arched just enough to clear the treeline would be enough. I'm kinda shocked an outdoor range would be allowed this close to those fields. Regardless of physical danger, imagine concentrating on playing ball while gunshots ring out in an adjacent lot!

Either fuckery, or a ricochet. My first time shooting tracers was eye-opening to how much bullets bounce around. This guy shooting a 50-cal is hit in his earmuffs after the berm launches the round back at him.

That reads to me as if they blocked an impersonating lemmyusa account that was using your same name.

This is a highly pessimistic take. 2 million dollars would conservatively yield $80,000 per year. This would place you at the 70th percentile in the USA for individual income.

This article cherry-picked some of his words, but ultimately he is against wealthy corporations not paying their fair share through tax exeption deals. He is not against funding public education. But of course, take the corporation-backed mainstream-media message at face value and hope he gets bullied away. Then the current township leaders can continue handouts to big corporations, while increasing taxes on the residents.

Did you know that in recent years the Township Committee under both political parties has awarded over $150 million in 30-year tax exemptions to billionaire developers at 750 Walnut and Birchwood?

We residents have to pay for this on their behalf. It's a few thousand dollars every year in extra taxes per household. In return, we receive little besides increased traffic, flooding, overcrowded schools, and overburdened infrastructure.

Indeed the $55 million we voted to pay for our beloved schools in the January referendum was necessary precisely because the developers are contributing nothing to our educational system. I want to be elected to stop the resident-funded overdevelopment of Cranford.

He's upset that wealthy corporations aren't paying their fair share and residents are being forced to pick up the tab. He's running for an elected position in his township to combat this and appears consistent on his message.

Also, he isn't campaigning against funding the education system. Again, he just wants developers to chip in too.

I can't find any text in the article that supports the headline. The closest would be this paragraph:

Making major changes to the program may open up vaccine makers to more litigation, making it difficult for them to keep existing vaccines on the market or to produce new ones.

The Guardian says his intent is to make vaccine compensation easier (opposite the headline), and that this would be damaging to vaccine makers. They speculate that the end result will be less vaccine availability. If this is true, with fewer vaccines there may be fewer opportunities for injury compensation. However, this is quite a spin on the initial claims that he wants to reduce vaccine manufacturer's liability shield.

Misgendering isn't cool.
