Use the event socket to request object via NLM_F_DUMP. No longer use 'priv->nlh' socket to fetch objects. Instead fetch them via the priv->nlh_event socket that also provides asynchronous events when objects change. That way, the events are in sync with our explicit requests and we can directly use the events. Previously, the events were only used to indicate that a refetch must happen, so that every event triggered a complete dump of all addresses/routes. We still use 'priv->nlh' to make synchronous requests such as adding/changing/deleting objects. That means, after we send a request, we must make sure that the result manifested itself at 'nlh_event' socket and the platform cache. That's why we sometimes still must force a dump to sync changes. That could be improved by using only one netlink socket so that we would wait for the ACK of our request. While not yet perfect, this already significantly reduces the number of fetches. Additionally, before, whenever requesting a dump of addresses or routes (which we did much more often, search for "get_kernel_object for type" log lines), we always dumped IPv4 and IPv6 together. Now only request the addr-family in question. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747985 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211133051cf8bb

Private Car Insurance – Private Car Insurance is the fastest growing sector in India as it is compulsory for all the new cars. The amount of premium depends on the make and value of the car, state where the car is registered and the year of manufacture. This amount can be reduced by asking the insurer for No Claim Bonus (NCB) if no claim is made for insurance in previous year.[20]
The use of non-intrusive load monitoring to detect drunk driving and other risky behaviors has been proposed.[57] A US patent application combining this technology with a usage based insurance product to create a new type of behavior based auto insurance product is currently open for public comment on peer to patent.[58] See Behavior-based safety. Behaviour based Insurance focusing upon driving is often called Telematics or Telematics2.0 in some cases monitoring focus upon behavioural analysis such as smooth driving.
If a LPG or CNG kit is installed in your automobile, you must inform the Road Transport Authority's office, from where the automobile was registered so that they can modify the necessary changes in the registration certificate of the automobile. The insurance provider should be informed as well so that it can provide the coverage to the kit on the payment of additional premium as per the kit's value under Own Damage Section.
An excess payment, also known as a deductible, is a fixed contribution that must be paid each time a car is repaired with the charges billed to an automotive insurance policy. Normally this payment is made directly to the accident repair "garage" (the term "garage" refers to an establishment where vehicles are serviced and repaired) when the owner collects the car. If one's car is declared to be a "write off" (or "totaled"), then the insurance company will deduct the excess agreed on the policy from the settlement payment it makes to the owner.
Auto insurance in India is a compulsory requirement for all new vehicles used whether for commercial or personal use. The insurance companies have tie-ups with leading automobile manufacturers. They offer their customers instant auto quotes. Auto premium is determined by a number of factors and the amount of premium increases with the rise in the price of the vehicle. The claims of the auto insurance in India can be accidental, theft claims or third party claims. Certain documents are required for claiming auto insurance in India, like duly signed claim form, RC copy of the vehicle, driving license copy, FIR copy, original estimate and policy copy.
One of the best ways to get cheap car insurance is by comparing car insurance quotes — and the companies offering them. To get you started, NerdWallet looked at car insurance prices across the country for different driver profiles and coverage levels to find the cheapest rates. We've sliced the data in several ways to give you an idea of average costs and what factors might nudge your car insurance rate up — or even better, down.
In New South Wales, each vehicle must be insured before it can be registered. It is often called a 'greenslip,'[4] because of its colour. There are six licensed CTP insurers in New South Wales. Suncorp holds licences for GIO and AAMI and Allianz holds Allianz and CIC Allianz licences. The remaining two licences are held by QBE and NRMA Insurance (NRMA). APIA and Shannons and InsureMyRide insurance also supply CTP insurance licensed by GIO.

Ufa native Alexander Segal succeeded in creating most popular cartoons in world
UFA, 17 January 2020. /Bashinform News Agency, Gulchachak Khannanova/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.
Our fellow countryman, computer graphics and animation specialist Alexander Segal lives in Canada's Vancouver and successfully works on creating the most popular cartoons in the world. He was born and lived most of his life in Ufa, where he began his creative career in one of the first and most famous advertising agencies of the city in the 1990s, which was a pioneer in the field of computer technology throughout Russia.
Today, Alexander works at Mainframe Studios, the creator of many popular animated series, including the famous Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, Spy Kids: Mission Critical, and the movie Escape from Planet Earth. The latter was produced by the famous Harvey Weinstein and dubbed by such movie stars as Sarah Jessica Parker, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, William Shatner.
Alexander Segal has also worked on the no less famous TV series "Octonauts", "Bob the Builder", films "Ratchet & Clank", "Open Season 4", "Surf's Up 2" and other animation projects for films, television, YouTube, Netflix. Our fellow countryman got across the ocean, having graduated from the Ufa university and independently mastered the latest computer technologies in the 1990s, which were just starting to develop at that time.
In 1991, at the height of one of the most severe economic crises experienced by Russia, he visited the first international conference on computer graphics, Graphikon-91 in Moscow where he realized what he wanted to do in his life.
Later, in 1993, together with his school friend Ildar Kayumov, he launched one of the first computer graphics studios in Russia — RMC, which started to create commercials, TV screens, videos, and other media products. He decided to leave Russia in the early 2000s, having received a six-month contract from Scotland to work on the animated television project "Noddy and the Island Adventure". Then there was a proposal to work on the Space Chimps project in Vancouver.
Alexander considers the most popular works in which creation he took part, an animated series based on the famous film "Spy Kids: Mission Critical" — and the film "Escape from Planet Earth".

Whenever the UK experiences any significant amount of snowfall it usually leads to beautiful scenery… and chaos.
For some reason we just can't seem to cope when that blanket of white covers our country. With the temperatures below freezing, the last thing you want to be affected is your heating. That's when a wood-burning stove becomes particularly useful. Here's how…
You can overcome cracked pipes
If you're reliant on radiators, you can suddenly find your main source of heat knocked out by a cracked pipe. You have no such worries when you've got a wood-burning stove to provide the warmth you need.
There are no cancelled deliveries
Many rural households get oil delivered by a tanker to provide their main form of heating. Unfortunately, when the snow falls and those households need oil most, deliveries are often cancelled due to the treacherous road conditions. Providing you keep a good supply of wood, or can collect wood within walking distance of your home, you'll never have to rely on somebody else delivering your heating.
It's not the end of the world if the boiler's on the blink
Like so many of the things on this list, boilers tend to let you down when you need them most. If yours packs in at the worst possible time at least you'll be able to generate some replacement heat with a wood-burning stove. And if you opt for a boiler stove, you'll be able to heat your water and radiators, too.
It's a reliable backup
As demonstrated by everything we've mentioned so far, even if you usually favour an alternative form of heating, it's great to have a stove in reserve. There are fewer things to go wrong, which means it's easier to maintain regardless of cracked pipes, closed road, broken boilers, fallen power lines or anything else that could possibly go wrong.
Unbeatable cosiness
On top of all those very practical reasons, there's nothing quite like coming in from the snow (or hiding from it altogether) to sit in front of a roaring wood-burning stove. May we recommend a nice cup of hot chocolate?

.......you are doing a wonderful job by trying to reconstruct the history of the WSF. ...it would be a good idea to clear the roles of each of us and see if we can cooperate.
To start with our aim and role: We want to be a neutral, safe, repository for documents which can and will be used to write the history of the WSF. We will not be the writers of such a history. It would be our job to collect and to keep those documents and make them available for interested scholars.
You should consider us as a help. We do not want to 'take over' your history. We want to make sure that also in ten years there are the original documents to be consulted about the history of the WSF. We are doing that in principle for every interested person or group. But often the organization which donates the archive asks for certain rules with regard to privacy etc. For us that is ok, as long as the material is safe.
.... of course that the WSF is a complicated organization. It is more a network. So we understand that it is difficult to point at the specific archive. Therefore it would be great if you could help identify the 'pockets' of archives on the WSF which are with people and organizations.
So that would be the first step for us: register what material is where.
The second step would be for the WSF or the people who own the material to decide where to keep that material in the future.
The IISH wants to help in this by offering to be the repository.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.we hope you will check our site: there is so much, maybe we could tell you about the Institute. Maybe we can meet one time. When is the Forum of Forums exactly?

Scientists Pinpoint Why Some People Become Addicts
Full Size
An Iranian nurse (L) hands a bag of crushed methadone tablets to a reforming drug addict at the Aftab (Sunshine) Society Clinic in Tehran May 20, 2007. Scientists have identified the part of the brain that may hold the key to why some cocaine users become addicts while others just take the drug socially, researchers said on Tuesday.
Brain scans of cocaine users while they performed simple computer tasks showed changes in the part of the brain responsible for controlling behavior and making appropriate decisions, they said.
This could explain why some people find it easier to quit than others and may shed light on long-term addiction, said Hugh Garavan, a cognitive neuroscientist at Trinity College Dublin who presented his research to a meeting of the Royal Society in London.
"Most people who try to quit drugs relapse," Garavan said in a telephone interview. "It might have to do with how intact these brain regions are."
Cocaine, initially used in patent medicines, beverages and tonics around the turn of the 20th Century, is a drug that in powdered form can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. Its derivative crack cocaine is even more powerful.
An estimated 1 to 3 percent of adults in developed countries use the drug, which has been linked to a number of medical, psychological and social problems including crime, violence and the spread of diseases like AIDS and hepatitis, according to the World Health Organisation.
Garavan and colleagues used MRI scans to show that cocaine users had reduced neural activity marked by reduced blood flow to the part of the brain involved in things like problem solving, decision making and controlling behavior. Some people were administered cocaine in the experiments.
"This research helps us move away from thinking of drug dependence as a moral weakness and allows us to see it as more of a medical condition."
It was unclear whether the changes were due to the drug itself or whether some kind of natural mechanism in the brain triggers the change, Garavan said.
But better understanding the brain's response to cocaine could eventually help predict people most at risk of developing an addiction and lead to better treatments, he added.
"One would hope this research would guide the development of new treatments including the development of pharmacological solutions to addiction," Garavan said.
Teenage Anger Linked to Brains: Study
Full Size
A teenager in an undated photo. Aggression in some teenage boys may be linked to overly large Amygdalas in their brains, a study by scientists in Australia and the United States has found.
In an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, they said these boys may also be unable to control their emotions because other parts of the brain that normally control strong emotions don't mature till the early 20s.
"It is important for parents to bear in mind that while their teenage child looks like an adult and does very complicated work at school, parts of their brain are still developing really until the 20s," Nicholas Allen at the University of Melbourne's psychology department said in a telephone interview.
"Those parts of the brain that help the child control his own emotions and behavior ... it's important to realize that these parts of the brain are still developing for these young people."
In the study, 137 12-year-old boys and their parents were asked to discuss sensitive issues, such as homework, bed times and Internet times; and the boys had their brains scanned later.
"Boys who had large amygdalas spent more time behaving in an aggressive way," Allen said, referring to a part of the brain located deep within the medial temporal lobes that is believed to be involved with emotional responses, including arousal and fear.
These boys also appeared to have small prefrontal cortexes, a region of the brain that has to do with regulating emotions.
"What we observed here was that these parts of the brain, when they are less developed in boys, it seems that they are associated with these kinds of behavior, more aggressive and more negative emotions when they interact with their parents."
Photo Tech Complicates Child-Porn Cases
Each week, about 100,000 sexually explicit images of children arrive on CDs or portable disk drives at Michelle Collins' office.
They are sent by police and prosecutors who hope Collins and her 11 analysts at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children can verify that the graphic pictures are real, not computer-generated. When they can't, officials sometimes turn to outside experts.
All this is being done - at an annual cost in the millions of dollars collectively in child-pornography cases alone - as software like Photoshop makes it easier to fake photos and as juries become more skeptical about what they see.
Although challenges to digital photos come in all types of criminal and civil cases, they are especially pronounced in child-pornography cases because of a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a ban on computer-generated child pornography. Defense attorneys are trying to use the ruling to introduce reasonable doubt in jurors' minds about the images' authenticity.
Prosecutors still generally prevail, but "this has certainly created an additional burden," said Thomas Kerle of the Massachusetts State Police. "I can say that unequivocally, it has made the prosecution of these types of cases more difficult. It takes ... resources I think could be better applied to investigating" more cases.
Drew Oosterbaan, who heads the U.S. Department of Justice's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, said prosecutors sometimes submit only photos they can easily verify because outside experts can be expensive - with travel, hotels and consulting fees, along with possible delays.
"This can affect the sentence the defendant gets," he said. "Before (the 2002 ruling) we would generally charge all the images."
Oosterbaan added that although defense lawyers have the right - and duty - to challenge evidence, they are doing so without "any shred of evidence there are wholly computer-generated images being generally circulated and passed off as real children out there."
And many law-enforcement officials worry that the time and money needed to withstand any challenges will only grow as technology improves and makes it more difficult to tell a computer-generated image from a real one.
"I feel that pretty much we can tell the difference right now," said Karl Youngblood of the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. "How much longer that's going to last, I don't know with the technology going at the rate it's going."
Of course, there's a cost to defendants as well - sometimes more so because federal law limits where and when the defense may review images to restrict their distribution, meaning experts must often travel with expensive equipment to a police lab in another city.
"If something becomes more difficult for the government to prove, so be it. They have the burden of proof," said First Amendment lawyer Louis Sirkin, lead counsel in the challenge that led to the 2002 Supreme Court ruling.
Child pornography is illegal in the United States, but the Supreme Court in 2002 struck down on free-speech grounds a 1996 federal ban on material that "appears to be" a child in a sexually explicit situation. That ruling covers computer-generated images, though morphing - such as the grafting of a child's school picture onto a naked body - remains illegal.
Collins' Child Victim Identification Program in Alexandria, Va., grew out of that ruling. After officials submit seized photos, the center uses software and visual inspections to look for matches. It can usually verify that children in some or all of the images are known and real.
The program, which costs about $1 million a year to run, now has about 1,300 children in its database, up from 20 in 2002. Staff grew from just Collins then to 11 full-time analysts who now work under her. The program reviewed 5 million images last year, up from about 450,000 in 2003, the program's first full year.
Because of the graphic nature of the images, a psychologist visits each week, and analysts must undergo counseling at least quarterly.
"Not everybody can do it," said Raymond Smith, a longtime investigator who oversees child-exploitation cases at the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. "You have to be able to come to grips with seeing children be victimized and abused. It can tear you up, (but) through your efforts you are identifying the people that hurt these children."
When the center cannot make a match, prosecutors can turn to outside experts. Sometimes, it's a pediatrician who can say a real child has characteristics matching those seen in the photo. Other times it's a computer expert who can talk about how difficult it is to produce images and video of that quality.
Hany Farid, a Dartmouth College professor who has testified for the prosecution in some cases, said he has been getting more inquiries about authenticity - not only for child-pornography cases but also civil lawsuits questioning medical images in malpractice cases or signatures in contract disputes. News organizations have also looking for ways to authenticate photos.
"Because so many people get photographic fakes in their (electronic) mailboxes, to the average juror it resonates," he said.
The challenges can be costly, even if a case never goes to trial - the majority end in plea agreements.
Farid said he charges up to $25,000 a year for software he produced to look for signs of tampering, such as inconsistencies in shadows. He also charges as much as tens of thousands of dollars to work on a case.
Even when there is a match and an expert isn't needed, a prosecutor must seek out the detective who initially identified a child for the center. That detective must often be flown in and be ready to testify if the defense raises a challenge. In one case in Portland, Maine, a Russian detective couldn't be reached, so the prosecutor had to spend $5,000 on an expert anyway. Trials get postponed if a key witness has a scheduling conflict.
Sam Guiberson, a defense attorney who specializes in technology and digital evidence, said challenges to evidence are to be expected, digital or not.
"Every good trial lawyer is always going to subject every part of his adversary's exhibits to that sort of scrutiny," Guiberson said.
Kebin Haller, deputy director of the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation, said that in most cases, a large quantity of images are seized such that enough hold up.
How much proof a prosecutor needs in child-pornography cases can vary from region to region and even from judge to judge. Recent federal appellate rulings have eased the burden on prosecutors, essentially saying that in lieu of definitive evidence, they can let jurors make up their own minds about whether an image is real or computer-generated.
Many prosecutors, though, don't want to take that chance and would rather submit proof.
"It's difficult to prove these are real children," said Mary Leary, a Catholic University law professor who previously worked on child-abuse and child-pornography cases. "Is the defense exploiting this? Absolutely they are."
The end is near... well, in 7.6 billion years
The big news: Earth is doomed to fry and then be gobbled up by the dying Sun.
A NASA-released ultravilet image of the sun. The big news: Earth is doomed to fry and then be gobbled up by the dying Sun.
But don't blow your savings on an Apocalypse Party just yet, for astronomers say the planet's demise is 7.6 billion years away.
The unusual calculations appear in the British open-access journal Astrophysics.
Robert Smith, emeritus reader in astronomy at the University of Sussex, southern England, previously calculated that as the Sun runs out of fuel, it will expand into a dangerous "red giant".
But Earth -- while battered and burnt to a crisp -- would escape ultimate destruction, he had thought.
Smith, working with Klaus-Peter Schroeder at the University of Guanajuato in Mexico, has taken a new run through the figures. Sadly, for our home, the number is up.
"The tenuous outer atmosphere of the Sun extends a long way beyond its visible surface, and it turns out the Earth would actually be orbiting within these very low-density outer layers," Smith says.
"The drag caused by this low-density gas is enough to cause the Earth to drift inwards, and finally to be captured and vaporised by the Sun."
Life on Earth will have become rather uncomfortable before then, however.
A billion years from now, as the Sun slowly expands, the oceans will evaporate, filling the atmosphere with water vapour (a potent greenhouse gas) and triggering runaway global warming.
Smith sketches two options, both admittedly sci-fi in feel, for escaping this fate.
One is to harness the gravitational pull of a passing asteroid to gently tug Earth out of the danger zone.
A wee nudge every 6,000 years could be enough to survive for at least five billion years -- provided a miscalculation does not send the asteroid barrelling into Earth instead of doing a close flyby, says Smith.
"A safer solution may be to build a fleet of interplanetary 'life rafts' that could manoeuvre themselves always out of reach of the Sun but close enough to use its energy," he says.
The Ark of the Covenant is carried into the Temple
When last we saw the lost Ark of the Covenant in action, it had been dug up by Indiana Jones in Egypt and ark-napped by Nazis, whom the Ark proceeded to incinerate amidst a tempest of terrifying apparitions. But according to Tudor Parfitt, a real life scholar-adventurer, Raiders of the Lost Ark had it wrong, and the Ark is actually nowhere near Egypt. In fact, Parfitt claims he has traced it (or a replacement container for the original Ark), to a dusty bottom shelf in a museum in Harare, Zimbabwe.
As Indiana Jones's creators understood, the Ark is one of the Bible's holiest objects, and also one of its most maddening McGuffins. A wooden box, roughly 4 ft. x 2 ft. x 2.5 ft., perhaps gold-plated and carried on poles inserted into rings, it appears in the Good Book variously as the container for the Ten Commandments (Exodus 25:16: "and thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee"); the very locus of God's earthly presence; and as a divine flamethrower that burns obstacles and also crisps some careless Israelites. It is too holy to be placed on the ground or touched by any but the elect. It circles Jericho behind the trumpets to bring the walls tumbling down. The Bible last places the Ark in Solomon's temple, which Babylonians destroyed in 586 BC. Scholars debate its current locale (if any): under the Sphinx? Beneath Jerusalem's Temple Mount (or, to Muslims, the Noble Sanctuary)? In France? Near London's Temple tube station?
Parfitt, 63, is a professor at the University of London's prestigious School of Oriental and African Studies. His new book, The Lost Ark of the Covenant: Solving the 2,500 Year Mystery of the Fabled Biblical Ark (HarperOne) along with a History Channel special scheduled for March 2 would appear to risk a fine academic reputation on what might be called a shaggy Ark story. But the professor has been right before, and his Ark fixation stems from his greatest coup. In the 1980s Parfitt lived with a Southern African clan called the Lemba, who claimed to be a lost tribe of Israel. Colleagues laughed at him for backing the claim; in 1999, a genetic marker specific to descendents of Judaism's Temple priests (cohens) was found to appear as frequently among the Lemba's priestly cast as in Jews named Cohen. The Lemba — and Parfitt — made global news.
Parfitt started wondering about another aspect of the Lemba's now-credible oral history: a drumlike object called the ngoma lungundu. The ngoma, according to the Lemba, was near-divine, used to store ritual objects, and borne on poles inserted into rings. It was too holy to touch the ground or to be touched by non-priests, and it emitted a "Fire of God" that killed enemies and, occasionally, Lemba. A Lemba elder told Parfitt, "[It] came from the temple in Jerusalem. We carried it down here through Africa."
That story, by Parfitt's estimation, is partly true, partly not. He is not at all sure, and has no way of really knowing, whether the Lemba's ancestors left Jerusalem simultaneously with the Ark (assuming, of course, that it left at all). However, he has a theory as to where they might eventually have converged. Lemba myth venerates a city called Senna. In modern-day Yemen, in an area with people genetically linked to the Lemba, Parfitt found a ghost town by that name. It's possible that the Lemba could have migrated there from Jerusalem by a spice route — and from Senna, via a nearby port, they could have launched the long sail down the African coast. As for the Ark? Before Islam, Arabia contained many Jewish-controlled oases, and in the 500s AD, the period's only Jewish kingdom. It abutted Senna. In any case, the area might have beckoned to exiled Jews bearing a special burden. Parfitt also found eighth-century accounts of the Ark in Arabia, by Jews-turned-Muslims. He posits that at some undefined point the Lemba became the caretakers of the Ark, or the ngoma.
Parfitt's final hunt for the ngoma, which dropped from sight in the 1940s, landed him in sometimes-hostile territory ("Bullets shattered the rear screen," of his car, he writes). Ark leads had guided him to Egypt, Ethiopia and even New Guinea, until one day last fall his clues led him to a storeroom of the Harare Museum of Human Science in Zimbabwe. There, amidst nesting mice, was an old drum with an uncharacteristic burnt-black bottom hole ("As if it had been used like a cannon," Parfitt notes), the remains of carrying rings on its corners; and a raised relief of crossed reeds that Parfitt thinks reflects an Old Testament detail. "I felt a shiver go down my spine," he writes.
Parfitt thinks that whatever the supernatural character of Ark, it was, like the ngoma, a combination of reliquary, drum and primitive weapon, fueled with a somewhat unpredictable proto-gunpowder. That would explain the unintentional conflagrations. The drum element is the biggest stretch, since scripture never straightforwardly describes the Ark that way. He bases his supposition on the Ark's frequent association with trumpets, and on aspects of a Bible passage where King David dances in its presence. Parfitt admits that such a multipurpose object would be "very bizarre" in either culture, but insists, "that's an argument for a connection between them."
So, had he found the Ark? Yes and no, he concluded. A splinter has carbon-dated the drum to 1350 AD — ancient for an African wood artifact, but 2,500 years after Moses. Undaunted, Parfitt asserts that "this is the Ark referred to in Lemba tradition" — Lemba legend has it that the original ngoma destroyed itself some 400 years ago and had to be rebuilt on its own "ruins" — "constructed by priests to replace the previous Ark. There can be little doubt that what I found is the last thing on earth in direct descent from the Ark of Moses."
Well, perhaps a little doubt. "It seems highly unlikely to me," says Shimon Gibson, a noted biblical archaeologist to whom Parfitt has described his project. "You have to make tremendous leaps." Those who hope to find the original biblical item, moreover, will likely reject Parfitt's claim that the best we can do is an understudy. Animating all searches for the Ark is the hope — and fear — that it will retain the unbridled divine power the Old Testament describes. What would such a wonder look like in our postmodern world? What might it do? Parfitt's passionately crafted new theory, like his first, could eventually be proven right. But if so, unlike the fiction in the movies, it would deny us an explosive resolution.

I took out my most hated pistol today, and all be freaking damned if it didn't make me look like I halfway know what I'm doing. And then I jacked it all up with the gun I actually like shooting.
Glock 22 gen 3 with Wolf 9mm barrel. Not Clusterfrack speed, but just got up and shot ten rounds in fairly fast fashion. Not entirely cold, but I welded frames for a couple steel plates I have last night, and so I'd shot them with my 92 and AR a bit prior to this.
Switched to my M9, and it sucked. Group was good, but centered 4-5" low. No need for pictures of that.
Screwed up another go at it on a fresh B8, then pastied the shot holes to make one last go with my EDC. The first four were the 10/X rings, but I saw one of the pasties get blown off the paper so I went down to sort it out so I knew what was what. And then completely fouled the last six rounds. WTF.
Ha! Funny about that inconvenient Gen 3 G22! I don't shoot a lot of .40 so I flipped my Gen 4 G22 into a RTF2 G22 because I love RTF2 and I could always convert it to another 9mm. But it shoots lights out for everything I through at it 7 to 40 yards.
Here my first time out with it, 5 shots ice cold upon arriving at the range, with gloves, from 40 yards. Pushed one off high left.

This precision pistol thing is going down a whole 'nother rabbit hole.
By the way, that's some pretty impressive 40 yard shooting. I'm trying to get where I can keep five or ten rounds within the -1 zone on an IDPA target at 50. It's coming along, but still got a ways to go.
Im going to have to detach from this rabbit hole at some point. Lol
Shot about 100 rounds today all at B8s. M9 got me here at the end. Tried it at 15 yards too. Dropped the fourth shot. Knew it went wrong when Ive pulled the trigger.
92 Compact netted similar mid to upper 80s s as the other day. It needs some work.
Side note. My LTT shoots about 4 left at 15 yards, and closer to 6 at 25. Thats frustrating.
Got five 98s in a row the other day seeking that elusive 100.
Getting tight groups with the G45.
The 3 shots away are my fault. Wish I had access to a Ransom Rest.
Didn't have a B8 with me today. People looked confused as I proceeded to staple up one index card.
