Prolegomena

Headspace: The distance from the bolt or breechface to a point on the chamber of a firearm.

Improper Headspace (excessive) - can lead to failures such as cracks, case head separation, and splitting of the case neck. A catastrophic case failure can allow hot gas and brass to escape from the receiver.

Improper Headspace (insufficient) - can prevent a firearm from going into battery. Forcing the breech closed can cause it to grasp the bullet too tightly, leading to excessively high chamber pressures.

Headspace: A person's mental position in relation to reality.

Improper Headspace (excessive) - can lead to overthinking, irritability, depression, and catastrophic mental failure.

Improper Headspace (insufficient) - can lead to confirmation bias, poor decision making, and excessively high levels of ignorance and stupidity.

Improper Headspace is written with the expectation that it will be read by a few members of my family and maybe a few friends. Much of what follows on this page is included on the supposition that one or two others may stumble upon it.
Despite the expected audience, I will write as if Improper Headspace is read by thousands of excited followers. -- edit: added text 06-03-2024
What is written on Improper Headspace is not meant to serve as an air-tight polemic for any point of view. Indeed, I would find it quite amazing if much of it served even as a leaky vessel for objective truth. This is to be taken as descriptive for both philosophical, theological, and political writing as well as instruction, review and explanation of hardware, software, and procedures I may discuss. Much of the time, I will avoid trying to prove anything. First, I am not up to the task most days, and second, much effort is given to the pursuit of proof on the Interwebs to little effect.
It should be clear from the previous statement that the content found on Improper Headspace is eclectic, to say the least. I am by trade a full-time horse photographer (NSFW). As such, my sphere of focus can be somewhat ephemeral.
According to the Interwebs, it was Leo Kottke who said, "When you're manic, you create. When depressed, you edit." The result of this is that you may read a post written today and it may be edited, perhaps heavily, by the time someone else interacts with it. I will attempt to negate this as much as possible by sitting on posts for some time before making them public.
There is no schedule for new material. I may post once a day or once a year.
I am going to leave comments on, however they will be heavily moderated. There is only one reason your comment may not be approved; an attempt on my part to proactively avoid excessive headspace.
Years ago, I heard my brother finish an argument with the words, "I reserve the right to be wrong". I will finish each post with this sentence to ensure no one is unaware of its primacy in everything related to Improper Headspace.
If you find yourself reading a post and becoming anything other than intrigued or indifferent, wait twenty-four hours and come back to it. Be sure you are hearing what I am saying and not what I am not saying before wasting your time explaining the ways in which I can self copulate.
Contractions in the written word make me uncomfortable. I will not use them unless I am quoting someone else.
