USPS does that shit here, too. They mark stuff "Delivered"and only bring it 2-3 days later. Cooking the metrics, I assume.

Just the tip?
For me its more like lots of chains of various lengths all tangled together.

It was never about actual waste or whatever other fig leaf. It is just the oligarch agenda, as usual.

Higgs boson@dubvee.orgto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•ReArm Europe 2030 Discussions:English2·11 days agoYeah, I meant for service rifles where typically accuracy isnt the top priority. Most people can learn to cope with it, even if your other eye is strongly dominant.
Everyone is different, but I have taught people to shoot and I am myself a strongly left-eye dominant righty. I have no problem with it for rifle with a magnified optic and I learned to deal with it for 1x red dot and irons. I had to cover my left eye with a patch or blacked out glasses lens to train my brain to deal with it, but it does work. I still prefer to cover one eye in some positions and situations.
I taught my family to shoot righty because it isnt that hard to shoot with your non-dominant hand and there are so many more options for right-handed rifles. IMO, for service rifles, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend much engineering effort to accomodate 10% of users.
Now dont get me wrong: I sometimes switch sides for training, so I do appreciate ambidextrous controls on rifles and I detest shooting wrong-handed on some guns. I just dont think it needs to be a dealbreaker when you can train around it.
Higgs boson@dubvee.orgto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•ReArm Europe 2030 Discussions:English12·11 days ago… right, but if you dont shoot lefty, that’s not a problem. That is my point. Just shoot “righty”. There isnt a good reason not to unless you are mostly blind in the right eye or otherwise impaired on the right.
Higgs boson@dubvee.orgto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•ReArm Europe 2030 Discussions:English8·11 days agoI’ll be contrarian on this: For rifles, your eye dominance matters a lot more than which hand you use. Really you shouldnt be relying much on fine motor skills for it anyway. My southpawed family members just shoot like everyone else.

Health risks are projected to rise sharply: Under future climate scenarios, arsenic-related cancer and disease cases could jump by up to 44% in major rice-consuming countries.
There are ways to reduce the risk: Farming techniques like alternating water use and breeding arsenic-resistant rice strains, along with climate action, could help mitigate the threat.

Nope. All the downvotes wont make my mail carrier suck any less. USPS around here is terrible for packages. Mailbox stuff is fine.
