I don't think it's quite that black and white for the average owner. On an overall scale, yes. It's part of the checks and balances built into the system. I don't think it's much "preparing for shit to go down" though. It's more "we're keeping an eye on you" for most people. In alot of ways...

I think that's why I am so thorough about the measures I have in place to protect my home and, more importantly, my wife and daughter. I use to be blissfully unaware of these things. I specifically remember thinking how unrealistic the safety precautions were around Anthony Hopkins in silence...

When I was a prison guard, one of the more excitable guards emptied a canister through the cuff port of a cell in the PC wing (think solitary confinement). ...the whole canister. ...and it was one of the big ones (think small fire extinguisher). Needless to say, the inmate decided to comply...

I had a version of that in mind. I wanted to take one of these: and modify it to deploy this: then wire it to my security system so it fogs my house with OC spray if the alarm goes off. Unfortunately, my wife veto'd it... She also veto'd setting up a tiny garage door for a deployable...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...
