This video has me hyped.

6 years ago, if you told me San Francisco was going to go from being crime-ridden to one of the most effective law enforcement operations in America, I would not have believed you.

PSA for new gun people:

Probably about to kick a hornet's nest here... but when discussing handguns, "Stopping Power" is basically a myth

Yes, I said it. I meant it... and it's true.

If someone is trying to push you into a high caliber (40S&W, 45acp, etc) they have no idea what they are talking about and you need to source new information.

The Fudds are enamored with 45, and I do respect it's history. But the difference between it and 9mm in a defensive scenario is essentially zero.

Yes, you can look at all sorts of data to show how there's more energy and such, but unlike other things in this world, death is a binary thing.

Either they are dead or they aren't.

There isn't a "kind of" dead.

What does matter more? Shot placement and ease of follow up shots. Number of follow up shots can matter (7 or 8 rounds with a 1911 vs 15 with a Glock 19) but most shooting engagements won't see that difference.

However, getting a great shot the first time and then having an easier path to get to subsequent shots will trump the paper gains of energy (which honestly don't matter much in trauma) of high caliber guns.

Essentially, from 9mm to 45, the difference between how the bullet interacts with the body is negligible. Even 380acp isn't bad as long as we aren't dealing with heavy clothing layers or an overly large body (however, drop below that to 32 or God forbid 22lr and we have a different discussion).

For your first defensive handgun, start and 9mm and work your way out from there.

And if anyone tells you that you need a 10mm for your first gun, slap them.

@Wendys @Arbys You have no room to speak after ruining the world's best spicy chicken sandwich.

Bahaha

Not so fast, Belgium.

The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.

[MGB @M_G_Burton]

Dear @Wendys , you changed your spicy chicken sandwich. It went from the best of all, to....@ChickfilA . Super sad.

@ClownWorld Finally. A horror movie that might be worth watching.

🚨 Confirmed: Schizophrenia’s “voices” are the brain mishearing its own thoughts.

For decades, neuroscientists have theorized that the "voices" heard by individuals with schizophrenia stem from the brain mistaking its own inner dialogue for external sounds. A groundbreaking study from the University of New South Wales has now provided direct evidence supporting this hypothesis through brainwave analysis.

Using electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor the brain’s electrical activity, researchers examined how individuals process their internal speech. Typically, when we speak—aloud or silently—the brain anticipates the sound of our voice and temporarily suppresses activity in the auditory cortex, the area responsible for processing external sounds, to differentiate self-generated thoughts from external stimuli.

However, in people experiencing auditory hallucinations, this predictive mechanism malfunctions. The study involved 142 participants, including those with schizophrenia who recently experienced hallucinations, others with the condition but no recent hallucinations, and a control group without a diagnosis.

Participants were instructed to mentally say “bah” or “bih” while hearing these sounds through headphones. In those who heard voices, a striking pattern emerged: their brains showed heightened activity in the auditory cortex when their imagined speech matched the external sound, rather than suppressing it as expected. This suggests the brain was processing internal thoughts as if they were external voices.

This sensory misclassification sheds light on why hallucinated voices feel vividly real, revealing them as a neurological error rather than mere imagination. The findings not only deepen our understanding of schizophrenia but also pave the way for earlier detection of psychosis, potentially enabling more timely and effective treatments.
