Glock pistols popular among US criminals because they're easily modified, report says.
  • They have a safety device on the trigger. It amounts to a little plastic piece in the middle of the trigger. Pressing on the trigger from the front causes this piece to slide in, allowing the trigger to be depressed. It doesn't do much but it would prevent the trigger from being pulled by something scraping it from the side, as might accidentally happen during holstering. It seems like the point of this device is to prevent accidental trigger pulls.

    When you pull back the slide and chamber a round, you also pull back the striker. The gun is then ready to fire. The trigger pull is always the same weight. This doesn't put the gun into an "extra light trigger pull" setting. After a shot is fired, when the gun cycles, this chambers a new round and pulls the striker back again. There's no way to have a round chambered but not have the striker pulled back. Glocks don't have a single action / double action like there is on some other guns, where the first trigger pull takes extra weight because it's also cocking a hammer.

  • That's that evolutionary programming kicking in, convincing you to slave away with the goal of increasing the survival rate of your offspring.

    I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying that your'e a machine and this affects your program:

  • NHS scientists find new blood group solving 50-year mystery
  • Most people are familiar with A, B, O, and Rh red cell antigens, as they are the most significant. Completely separate from this "blood group system" there are many other potentially antigenic molecules present on the red cell membrane.

  • It's good that you're concerned about the data your phone may be revealing to other nearby devices. It's generally a good idea to have bluetooth/wifi/nfc turned off if you're not actively using them. Even without the robot, you have no idea what data companies might be collecting when you're physically on their property.

  • NHS scientists find new blood group solving 50-year mystery
  • These antigens are mainly significant in regards to blood transfusions.

    People generally don't create antibodies against antigens that they have on their own cells.

    If someone receives blood containing an antigen that isn't present on their own cells, and their body has already created antibodies against this "foregin" antigen, this can cause a hemolytic transfusion reaction (the transfused blood cells will rupture in the recipient), which can be fatal.

  • How do I Graphene OS?
  • I don't have any complaints about the performance of graphene on my pixel 7a but I don't do much outside of texting and browsing webpages. I also get about 3 days of battery life out of a charge.

  • How do I Graphene OS?
  • I found the instructions on the website to be completely adequate.

    https://grapheneos.org/install/web

    You'll still be able to use Google Play and the apps found there, if you want to. I'd heard of people having trouble with banking apps. I access my bank using their website, not an app.

    Just understand going into this that the priority is privacy, not compatibility. Maybe keep your old phone around in case there's some must-have app that doesn't work but you need occasionally.

  • How do I Graphene OS?
  • I'm not a person who had previously done much messing around with their phone but I have installed Linux on several computers. I put graphene on my phone nearly a year ago and I recall the process being fairly straightforward. I think I just followed the instructions on their website.

    Maybe it's not an "any idiot could do it" level of user friendliness but the examples you've listed as stumbling blocks aren't exactly brain-busters.
