Yep, I think it is probably the genesis behind the .327mag. Performance is all about penetration (what she said...). The .357 is arguably the "best" handgun caliber there is in terms if penetration, terminal ballistics and kinetic energy. It's what led to the .357Sig and why the FBI was so enamored with the 10mm and the subsequent .40S&W. Problem is they're all so hard to control and follow up shots are a bitch. The .327 packs a punch, but is much easier to manage than the .357, but is superior is almost every way to the .38. It also follows the Golden Rule of firearm manufacturing: new calibers drive sales and you don't have to reinvent the platform.

I'm talking those ultralight ones that are half that. 12-13ozs

There's a metric shit-ton of Taurus Judge's out there and I haven't heard many issues from them. Wheel guns aren't exactly the most difficult items to produce, especially short barreled ones that are good for keeping you safe pumping gas or walking to/from your car. Longer range, consistent accuracy isn't really part of the equation. And for the record, and I have fired a ton of BIG handguns from 454's to .50 Desert eagles. NOTHING made we want to pack it up and head inside more than those little f'ing .357 hammerless, ultralight snubbies. JFC it's like grabbing a live wire. My wrist snapped back. Loud as hell. Damn hand near went numb. Utterly worthless. After the first shot you are so discombobulated and a follow-up shot is out of the question.

Welp, little Yaga just signed her national letter of intent to keep playing at the next level. Five girls in her class are moving on in their respective sports. We know them all and have watched them grow and mature from their time together in elementary school. It's surreal to see them all together one last time for their senior seasons. Little dusty in here....

Your ranch is haunted.....

LOL, they can make a racket. Sound like little jets coming in. forgive me I've told this before, but it reminded me. So we have a little sitting area on the back porch by the pool and I mounted a TV on the back wall. Inevitably mourning doves built a nest on the wall bracket behind the TV. Doing what doves do, you can hear them inside as there are a row of big windows so you see out to the yard, etc. I take the nest down, they come back. Repeat. Son's on the couch and hears them coo'ing. "damn owls are back Dad" What? The owls, on the back porch, I always hear them. I'm like buddy......those are doves, not owls. He's looks it up, then is like....."my bad" I forget he didn't spend weeks every summer and over the Holidays at the ranch growing up like I did. I got shipped off ala boarding school and got put to work, but also spent so much time outside I can damn near recognize by sight and sound most Texas birds/animals. I still give him shit about that.

U.S. Beef Industry in absolute crisis

No shit. The “point” of brisket was always that it’s a tough, shitty cut of meat that is only easily served after rendering tons of fat. It was originally leftover cuts nobody wanted. Same with ribs. Now it’s been elevated to a status that prices are on par with loins. Agree on pork. It’s always the go to when you do t have a ton of time and don’t want to break the bank. -

This. A wagyu filet is amazing. Wagyu sirloin. Chuck. Etc is just marketing. -

Smoked chuckies are the tits. Better than brisket for chopped sammiches. fraction of the price, cook in half the time, don't have to worry about leftovers, etc. -
Yes, and there is a giant chasm of time and action preceding this. Most notably there are signs. Signs that many afflicted do not recognize, nor would a specialist as they don't know the individuals baseline. This is where family/friends play a critical role. They are around these people. They often see the subtle changes We're also discussing "mental health" like it's a broken bone or singular disorder. ADHD and insomnia are "disorders". So is dyslexia. Or heightened anxiety. The DSM-5 has almost a thousand pages for a reason. The dirty little secret is that we really don't truly understand mental health. The complexity of the brain. Overlapping symptoms. Individual complexity of each person and how they express emotions. In the case of this poor guy, we do know trauma changes the brain. HOW it changes it is the secret sauce. We also know that he played one of the most competitive games there is that is based on ruthless and objective meritocracy. You miss a game. You might lose a spot you spent your entire life trying to obtain at a position with the most predilection for CTE.
