    Choosing a Home Defense Weapon

    I was going to walk away from this whole discussion, but... You got that backwards. Our country was founded on the principle that you don't have to earn, deserve, or be given the rights that we enjoy as a country. In fact, I hesitate to call them rights for fear of misunderstanding. This...

    Choosing a Home Defense Weapon

    You are absolutely correct. However, I figured my post was long enough without getting too lost in the statistics. There are other very important factors like location, the fact that the numbers came from a 1985 report, and many others that make the percentage fluctuate wildly. That is a very...

    Choosing a Home Defense Weapon

    I have also had this question pop up many, many times. It is usually one of the first questions that pop up when people find out I carry a concealed weapon. My answer though, usually comes in the form of a larger discussion. The results of which lead me to a different conclusion and...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    First off, I want to say thanks to everyone that's been posting up the TLDR highlights. Trying to keep up with the news can be exhausting when the trend is to hide 5 seconds of info in 15 minutes of text or video. Just wanted to say I appreciate it. For my $0.02, I ran into a potential future...

    Knife Sharpening Day. Any advice?

    There are tons of videos and quite a lot of literature on the best way to sharpen knives. Most will give you super complicated instructions and precise measurements. There are also tons of gadgets that cost tons of money. They all claim to give you this magical ability to sharpen a knife to...

    Can't believe it's been three years already

    But I wouldn't trade it. It's been a glorious three years of intelligent and less than intelligent conversations. I have seen some truly life changing advice passed around and enough shitposts to blot out the sun. So here's to you ladies and gents. Here to you and the best damn gaming...

    Wow Classic?

    Honestly, this should be a wake up call for the entire industry. The current games are so bad that people are willingly jumping into a restarted old game just to find some entertainment. It's sad really. That said, there are a few on the near horizon that show some promise. Pantheon, A:IR...

    Wow Classic?

    That's pretty much it. It's just a nostalgia trip for those that reminisce about the "good old days". I view it as a good way to find some entertainment for a few months while I wait for something actually new. It sounds like fun, so why not? When it all comes down to it, I would much rather...

    Wow Classic?

    So I fully intend on jumping into the nostalgia wave with WoW Classic. There's really nothing new to play out there, so I plan on spending some quality time reliving some really happy memories. Anyone else jumping on the bandwagon? If so, what server are you planning on? Is there enough...

    What do you think about this Borderland 3/Take-Two vs SupMatto thing?

    That's pretty much the point precisely. There is so much conjecture getting thrown around. I just want to see facts. That said, this seems to be an awful lot of money and resources to throw at a perfectly innocent youtube guy.

    Madden 19 and Madden 20 identical games lmao

    Pretty much this. We, of all people, should be intimately acquainted with the intricacies of game development. We have been watching a detailed play-by-play development for how long now? A one year new game release cycle is just impossible when it comes to innovation. Honestly, most games...

    What do you think about this Borderland 3/Take-Two vs SupMatto thing?

    Let me preface this by stating that I am a bit of a cynic. In the absence of verifiable proof, motives become extremely suspect. I hate to say it, but people rarely prove these sentiments to be wrong. This is particularly true with anything media or publicity related. The situation here...

    Nooooo! Rutger Hauer passed away...

    Truly sad. He was in so many movies that I enjoyed back in the 80's and 90's. One of my favorites was Blind Fury.

    Brain-computer interface is getting closer

    Wouldn't it be amazing to be uploaded to a virtual game? Then we could play SC for real!

    Home security systems

    This is a very good point. I have cameras, signage, alarm systems, etc. I have a daughter. So I may be a bit protective... That said, I still get kids pulling the "ding dong ditch" right on camera. I've also had amazon packages stolen from my porch, the whole time on camera. In fact, they...

    Home security systems

    Sorry, this is going to be a bit of a read but I have some experience in this area. So here we go. There are five major points when it comes to security. The first and vastly most important is deterrence. This one thing alone will eliminate the majority of the issue. Place signs on every...

    New drunken Test anthem?!

    Well now I feel a bit dense. I should have looked a bit further into it, let alone recognized it. Here I was though, thinking it was an original work instead of a quote. Yay me! I don't mind crow though. It's kind of delicious when breaded and deep fried...

    New drunken Test anthem?!

    So I was trolling around the SC forums and I stumbled across a response that stopped me in my tracks. I spent far too long reading and re-reading it, slowly growing to appreciate it's beauty. You see, for me, reading this particular bit of prose vividly brings back those times where I had just...

    Brain-computer interface is getting closer

    I think this is a much further distance away than some of the more simple things. It's not simply a lack of knowledge on how the brain works though. It's more about the sheer complexity of how memories are stored (as we know it now). I'm far from an expert, but from the information available...

    Brain-computer interface is getting closer

    Neuralink, one of Elon Musk's ventures had a press conference the other day. In it, they outlined their current stage of development and their vision for the future. Science fiction is becoming reality. As a little background though, the driving force behind this isn't really to help the...
