3D Artists Reporting Back

Huge thunderstorm with big hail and a tornado this night in Moravia (east part of Czechia). 3 dead, over 150 injured, many houses, cars,...severly damaged/destroyed. Its very rare to have a tornado big enough to destroy. I feel sad for those ppl.

looks like a freaking warzone.

Yeah very sad! My thoughts are with the people!
Austria got parts of that tornado with big damage but I think as far as fatal injuries or losses we havent had them! Since Im not in Austria im not that well imformed!

Sad to hear of the loss of life and damage.

It seems this will become more common as climate change seems to keep hitting harder.

[bitkar]

Verde: climate change is bullshit... We had similar tornado like 8 years ago (a little weaker) and there was stronger tornado in Prague in 1119. Was it climate change in 1119? Climate change is just a stupidity and/or a good business. Climate has never been stable, but bad things has happned all the time. There were droughts, floods, tornadoes, too hot, too cold way before industrialization.

Fireworks show good. Good viewing from the park around the baseball fields. Parade good. Went shooting. SKS, 25 paces, iron sights, 5 hits (plastic cups) of 16 shots. Then a tab on the magazine broke so that was all of that. Will get a new magazine or two.

[bitkar]

ah...SKS is kind of nice, not the best rifle ever tho... What distance did you shoot those plastic cups?
I need to go too, its been some time since last time. We keep talking about it with my friend, but he does not have time. Either has too much work or going on a holiday off the country or family stuff or such.

25 paces, steps, distance. I try to take 1 yard (0.91 meters) paces for measuring but I'll guess the steps were about 2.5 feet so approximately 63 ft = 19.2m. The SKS is cheap old chinese but it does ok. Different manufacturing and specs means it can be difficult to get a working detachable mag. for them. The one I had was modified to fit this rifle and that mod broke. The original wood stock is for tiny chinese people. Fortunately the seller provided a larger plastic stock too. That plus a butt pad and it is of suitable size. New magazine ordered.

[bitkar]

ah, ok, i get that pace part now :) thnx.

@Bitkar English is strange. 20 meanings for every word and 20 words for each thing. That's good though. Newspeak (1984) is precise, exact, to thwart creativity and make unapproved thoughts impossible.

Magazine arrived. Fits and loads. Will try it out some weekend. My truck is in the shop. Won't be fixed for a week. Exhaust manifold is loose. Sounds like a Harley. Some bolts broken = costly extraction. Looking for a truck or car to borrow. If a car then needs a trailer hitch to tow a rented trailer. Renting a truck didn't work well financially last time. Update: borrowed a truck.
