I would not advise letting a bear get close to your “rod”
While “Schrodinger’s gun” seems like it would make sense, it often leads to negligence or complacence. ALWAYS treat a firearm as if it were loaded, no exceptions, even if you have double and triple checked to see that there is no ammunition in it.
This applies to firearms, not parts of firearms. A pistol slide assembly separated from its frame is in 2 parts ans not a whole gun

vale@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Delta plane crashes, flips upside down while landing in Toronto from MinneapolisEnglish2·5 months agoAccidents happen all the time, mostly in general aviation (privately owned, usually small aircraft, but can include business jets). A lot of incidents are minor. Usually a wing strike or a collision with a ground vehicle. When there are accidents that result in loss of life, you may see the occasional news outlet pick it up. However, a majority of the time it’s just local news outlets.
You will see accidents more often than not in general aviation due to less stringent regulations and a varying degree of pilot experience. Commercial aviation still remains one of the safest forms of travel.
Something to note is that incidents are reported to the authorities (FAA/NTSB when necessary), but you are correct in that they are not reported on by news agencies. Shock and sensationalism sells, and I’m tired of seeing my news feed full of sensational clickbait titles in general.
vale@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Delta plane crashes, flips upside down while landing in Toronto from MinneapolisEnglish31·5 months agoNot to downplay the severity of what’s been happening recently (DCA, Philadelphia, and now Toronto), but what you are seeing in the news is the same thing that happened to trains after the East Palestine incident in Ohio. For months after the East Palestine incident, every major news outlet was talking about every trend derailment. There are an average of about three derailments a day in the US yet you don’t really see anybody but local news covering it nowadays.
There are incidents in aviation everyday whether there are engine failures that need to return to an airport or a runway excursion. It’s just the nature of news and media, to be sensational and get as many clicks as possible. “Oh a plane’s engine caught fire in Houston while on the takeoff roll! we better cover it because aviation is hot in the news!”

Of the machines I own: 2 are running Ubuntu server (one for hosting a Minecraft server, the other for testing as I’m still relatively new to Linux), a NAS running trueNAS, A laptop running dual boot Windows 10 and Kali, and my main machine running Windows 10 with Kali and Ubuntu running though WSL. As I am typing this, I am installing Mint on one of the drives of my main PC. I’ve been putting it off for way too long as the majority of the programs and games I use do not have Linux support.
I’d assume because the majority of people here don’t use Apple products
regardless of your stance on them, the fact of the matter is that any major 3d file hoster (Thingiverse, Printables. Cults, etc.) are not the place to get the files to print a firearm. a lot of firearms are found across the Internet and are relatively easy to find
they’re perfectly legal where I live and I just think they’re neat, but I’ll have to destroy them if/when I move to where I want to go
