Hello! I wanted to gather some consensus about the practicality of trying to publish research that is 10 years old but perhaps still relevant. For context, I completed my dissertation and successfully defended in 2016. I gathered data during 2015. I had done a massive job search during that time, and eventually soured on academia (another story for another thread), and never followed through to actually publish the science.

I went into industry with my skills and it been good, but at times I do miss the positive sides of research and teaching. I've done some adjunct teaching over the years and I'd like to do more. Additionally I was older when I went for the Phd - 40 when I started, so a

I thought you all might be interested in this - Edlewiss Arms (where I used to get my GP11) is listing a MAS 36 CR39 for sale for the whopping sum of $3995. At this price you'd think this is authentic - but a close look shows that its not. To their credit they say " Rifle was converted from its original configuration into a CR36 "Paratrooper" model , but they don't say by whom. Since the French Military never converted any MAS 36s to this pattern, the "whom" must have been a faker.

My RGN (24075) finally came up and this arrived yesterday. Field Grade, 1945. I was hoping for a Colt for sentimental reasons, but overall I guess I'm happy with it. Doesn't look to have any pitting, just a heavily worn finish on the high spots. The bore is a little more worn than I would have hoped. I guess I'll wait to see how it shoots before judgement

Floyd Raymond Carter captured this Model 99 Japanese Machine Gun in the South Pacific on the Island of Bougainville around 1944

Carter was a Carpenter's Mate First Class on the Heavy Cruiser USS Baltimore, which was commissioned in 1942.

Along with six others, Floyd was put off on the Island of Bougainville to build a cook's shack in preparation for the arrival of troops. While the 7 of them were bathing in a river, a Japanese machine gun nest began firing at them from a hillside overlooking the river. They quickly got out of the water and decided to "take out' the machine gun nest. This they did, and Floyd commandeered the machine gun.

The gun was displayed a

I just picked up this nice 71/84, super clean and not refinished. I did have a question regarding caliber. Every single one of these is stamped "11" at the spot below on the barrel. This is the only one I've ever seen stamped "10.95" Is there significance to this? Did they just say "fuck it" and start rounding at some point, or does this mean I need to be careful about finding ammo?

Edit: The vid claims censorship on reddit. I am particularly curious about the claim that Aaron Swartz was cut out of Reddit despite being a co-founder. Also, corporate manipulation of Redditt.

I don't really know the history of Reddit so I was curious what my neighbors thought
