I remember 2009/10 and 2020/21. So I took a look at what I needed for the next or so and ordered now.

Reloading is going to get expensive again, but I managed to get a good quantity of powder before this all hit, and usually bullets don't jump all that much. Usually. So we'll see.

Welp, guess I'm sticking with IMR White Hots. I was looking to switch to Blackhorn 209 for my inline muzzleloader, but at $84US for an 8oz can, which I can expect to get 45 or so shots, compared to the Whitehots at $35 for 72 pellets, which I'll get 36 shots (2 pellets/shot).

That's a price of $2/shot vs. $1/shot. Sheesh!

In a culture of widespread enshittification it's important to notice when things are done well. I made a CS ticket about product compatibility. The rep answered the next morning with correct/useful/respectful information and off-handedly tagged this at the end:

> I just tried it on a [reloading] press in the lobby.

The rep knows it's a good solution because *they just tested it themselves*. This empowers the rep and inspires customer confidence. The customer can tell when you are turning the item over in your hands, looking at it, thinking about your question & solutions .

Phase II of the automation of my #Hornady Lock'n'Load #reloading press is complete. Here's the new #3Dprinted bullet collator and feeder die in action.

Enby reloads reality: the horror!

Marcel Smith did not realize what would happen when they called upon their home automation device. They explain, “I jokingly went ‘Hello home! Reload reality.’ I thought it would reply that it did not understand what I was asking. I was mighty surprised when it replied, ‘Are you sure?’ I answered affirmatively. It replied, ‘Alright. Your funeral.’ That’s when I should have known things were about to go bad.”

The home automation software in Smith’s apartment, Home Assistant, obligingly reloaded reality. Smith told us, “Everything went blank for a second, and then I saw a bunch of wires. My cat looked like it had been skinned. I looked down at myself, and I could see my organs. I screamed my ass off.”

We reached out to Anna Milton, a realtor (a specialist about reality), for comments. When we explained what had happened to Smith, she laughed and replied, “Yeah, what Smith was experiencing is slow texture loading. The wireframe structuring reality came up first, but the texture of the walls, the carpet, and even his skin took a while to load. This is easily fixable by upgrading Smith’s brain.”

We reported Milton’s comments to Smith. They commented, “Yeah, well, I did not know it would work. Lessons learned.” We noticed some fins coming out of their head. We asked what they were and they replied, “Oh! These? I can’t upgrade my brain, so I’m overclocking it. These are part of the heatsink installed to dissipate the extra heat.”

Well, Twitter is becoming increasingly uninhabitable. So, here I am, starting a new parallel life on Mastodon. Don't know how this will go. Am I just trading one toxic echo chamber for another?

Anyway, here's what I've been up to lately: an automatic case feeder, to make my Hornady Lock'n'Load reloading press more automatic.

Please excuse the messy bench. A messy desk is a sign of a creative mind, right?
