    Now just need some beer.....

    ... just make sure you wash your hands after. Side: my oldest daughter (she's 20) saw this thread and said, "Tell him that lots of people think meat is better if it's not dry rubbed to quite that extent"

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    I'm only 29. I just happen to also have 29 years experience at being 29.

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Yes, it sure is, data transfer rate wise anyway. It actualy becomes difficult to distinguish between stray microwave and digital TV transmissions, and the signal from on the bus at the speeds they're currently running. They have a couple of ways of increasing the speed a bit more but you want...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Young whippersnappers indeed. We used to call these "portables" in the industry at the time, though users quickly began calling them "luggables". I remember this one, the Panasonic was supposed to compete with the Compaq luggable. I remember it was cheaper, 2500 or so, as opposed to 2900 for...

    Now just need some beer.....

    This is something to try when you BBQ pork again. People will look at you like you have 3 heads until they taste it. Honey Bourbon Peaches Hot BBQ grill. You can cook the pork first, but then let the heat rise to 450 after you remove it. Southern US variation: 1/4 cup of bourbon (We use...

    Citizencon 2017 - Pros & Cons

    I voted indifferent, but it's because I alternated between drunken joy, and seen better in terms of a conference. There were some jaw dropper moments, but there were also some serious eye roller moments for me. The biggest thing they said during the conference for me, wasn't the Pioneer...

    TEST 1st Consolidated Outland Pioneer Confirmed

    The more I think about the pioneer, the more I think that this really is a game changer, in that it brings a lot of the non-military game play into focus. Here you have a massive ship, that has limited ability to protect itself. Most of the capital ships actually, especially the slow...

    TEST 1st Consolidated Outland Pioneer Confirmed

    lol @EmpireRuled . Not too shabby of a proclamation though, is it? I lost count of how many pioneers we have in total. Now aside from waiting "patiently" for 3.0 and so on, we also have to wait for the time we will be finally able to use those capital ship PNG image in our hangers. I think...

    Arduino button boxes

    Hah! This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to find out how it works and looks! II'll tell you how I got started with Arduino. This happened several years ago. I had just gotten through day surgery... and had just woken up. My wife drove me home, I was so drugged up. All I remember is...

    the Future of Spectrum

    This is really interesting. For what it's worth, i'm not concerned so much about using left/right ear. You can pretty much get around single ear "deafness" and identifying multiple channels by using call-signs. That's exactly why the military uses them, so you can identify a speaker, and whether...

    hi I just joined the ranks today

    You'll get better, it just takes practice. Welcome to TEST!. I live in Texas right now but I'm originally from Eastern Ontario. At least it's easier to explain that way. There are quite a few other Canadians around here somewhere.

    introducing lumberjacksquid

    Hey welcome aboard to another Canadian. A good part of my family lives in your neck of the woods, well just north of you. My father ran a kind of touring/hiking outfit in the Cowachin Bay area until just recently. His age is catching up with him now (he's 84) so it's more like "short walks"...
