The 1911 uses .45 and .45 is a subsonic ammunition, which means its muzzle velocity is below the speed to break the sound barrier, and doesn’t produce a supersonic crack. The delisle carbine was a bolt action integrally suppressed rifle made from the Lee Enfield, re-chambered for .45 from .303 due to its subsonic nature and is known to be one of the quietest firearms to exist, and the round doesn’t produce a loud crack.

Where 9mm isn’t subsonic, it has a higher muzzle velocity and therefore would generate more atmospheric pressure, and a supersonic crack. This is why the world famous MP5SD, known for its total silence, was revolutionary. people say the only thing you hear is the bolt cycling. It has a perforated barrel that leaks enough of the gases out of the barrel into the suppressor. Infact, it leaks enough to actually prevent the 9mm from achieving supersonic speeds. They designed it this way so it doesn’t have to use ammunition that is specifically filled to be subsonic, or to use a round that is inherently subsonic like .45.

So that is two examples of gun design history around trying to be quiet with ammunition, one designed around the ammo, and one around the gun.

Two other podcasts really worth listening to in my opinion are

Behind the bastards - they write a script telling about the worst people in history, their stories, what they did, how bad the shit they did was. Usually with some dark humor tones.

99 percent invisible - they cover all of the mundane stuff in life and put a spotlight on it. Again, it’s scripted, written, information. Not just blindly talking about x thing, and they usually do interviews with relevant people, too. Its like actual reporting, but on the things you would never have thought should have reporting coverage.

It’s courage! The cowardly dog!

And a variety of others. I’m an adult, yep. Totally.

As someone who worked in fast food in quite a few different places it is very common in my experience that orders are marked complete before they really are.

The stats matter to the heads, so the managers keep up the stats to look good. That is why when you go through a drive through and they ask you to pull up? They are wiping that order so it looks as if it was done faster and bringing it to you when it’s really ready.

It’s a classic thing of stats being focused on to the point that the stat is essentially made useless since it gets cheated.

I haven’t worked FF in roughly 10-15 years though, and this was my experience, so grain of salt and all that.

It’s cause them damn women that used to be named Skyler ain’t no man, and never will be. /S

Or something like that, idk.

This pic is so striking but the jammer gives me G11 vibes
