One of the newer clickbait videos on YouTube: "Can 20,000 Magnets Catch A Bullet Mid Air?"

No, no they cannot. Lead is a non-ferrous metal, and gives zero shits about magnets, regardless of how many there are or whether or not they're 1000 degrees.

How hot is it, and was the shooter stung by a tarantula hawk wasp during the proceedings?

I saw that, and like half the video isn't even related to magnets at all. It's just rednecks firing guns into shit!

It's like those quote unquote "Science" channels that are mostly dedicated to destroying random things in creative ways. I mean, yeah, sure, crushing a giant rubberband ball with a hydraulic press looks rad, but I haven't really learned anything. And you! Other guys! Jumping from the roof of your house into a swimming pool filled with dry ice is silly fun, but I'm worried about your safety, there were no precautions taken at all! Really guys... stop trying to flash cook ribeye steaks by dipping them into molten lead, it's not healthy.

I mean, we live in a culture where we watch a guy staple a bunch of staples to his face for Youtube views.

She's, like, super hot, bro. And the shooter WAS a tarantula hawk wasp. If he stung himself he was remarkably blasé about it.

I googled extended magazines for my two guns. Why does a pocket pistol need a 32 round magazine?! I want a 10 round mag for mine, and some Critical Defense rounds. Oughta be far more than sufficient.

YouTube sound is glitching out for me all of a sudden. No fucking clue what's causing it because yesterday it worked just fine.

By glitching out, I mean that it works fine almost always except every several seconds it sort of lags and produces that jarring sound you sometimes get when windows crashes mid sound and it loops that half a second of random noise for a while. Restarting both FF and the laptop hasn't fixed it, but on FB the sound works just fine, so I'm completely stumped what this new shitty issue might be caused by :V

On the other hand, Youtube is surprisingly useful when I need it. My sister asked about what exactly a mortar is (we were watching a miniseries together and one o fthe main characters is a mortar man), and a 30 seconds later she is listening to some heavy german accent explain the history of mortars, how they operate, and for what they are used.

So reading up on the issue it seems that the cause for audio stuttering are the wifi drivers somehow fucking with everything else?

How??

There's a few reasons here. First, most gun manufacturers like to make their compact pistols accept the same mags as their larger offerings. So, there is a good chance that the 32 round magazines aren't specifically intended for your guns but will work in them.

Second, most compact pistols are chambered for .380 ACP or similar. This is a fairly low powered round, and has a statistically low stop rate in defensive situations, even with good shot placement. 10 rounds of good ammo is usually enough, but I can easily understand a desire for a bit more.
