Following up on another post, I purchased a Sig P365 a while back. I’m happy with how it shoots, it’s a nice easy carry even with the 12-round magazine, and I really have only one complaint, which is that the mags have the stiffest spring, and sharpest lips, of any magazines I’ve ever loaded. The 10-round ones are, if anything, worse. A speedloader helps, but jeez. I have strong hands, and I’m used to thumbing the rounds in without thinking about it, but not here.

WINNING: Facebook warns Apple’s iOS 14 could shave more than 50% from Audience Network revenue. “Today, advertisers can use a unique device ID number called the IDFA to better target ads and estimate their effectiveness. In iOS 14, each app that wants to use these identifiers will ask users to opt in to tracking when the app is first launched. Facebook said its apps will not collect IDFA information on iOS 14.”
To be clear, Facebook is losing the ability to target ads to iPhone and iPad users when they’re using apps other than Facebook.
It’s impossible to prevent an app from collecting whatever data you input into it, but cross-app tracking has always felt devious and creepy to me.

THE JOURNOLIST IS HOPPING: “Liberals suddenly want the riots to stop because they realize it’s hurting their election chances. Conservatives have always wanted the riots to stop even though we know it’s helping our election chances. The former cares about votes, the latter about lives.”

SHOOTINGS IN KENOSHA: It’s easier to start the violence than to stop it. “It only escalates from here. The sides don’t sit back, ponder what’s happened, and then suddenly decide that this might have been a misadventure and badly conceived project. Anger builds. Memories are made. This all redounds to increasing levels of violence. Once this spigot has been opened, it’s extremely difficult to close it.”

They’ll try to recast BLM and Antifa as “white nationalists” before this is over.
