It’s amazing how many times I see this same headline, year after year. It’s always a dude, too.

It was basically three spud guns mounted on an adjustable base. It’s fun seeing how high they go.

Sorry mate. I’m on the Voyager app and there was a huge delay in notifications.

This was basically three potato cannons mounted in an adjustable mortar formation. You could fire off three before having to reset.

I feel like I need Facebook. I used to belong to dozens of forums between RC cars, aquarium stuff, and robotic stuff. All but one has shuttered, and Facebook Groups are my only option to connect with people for my hobbies, especially locals. Even state clubs used to have their own forums.

The Talos Principle.

I just stopped playing it one day and never touched it again. I didn’t dislike anything about it.

The world wasn’t interesting enough for me. It felt like the same 45 minute game loops over and over again.

I dont know. I think there could be an inventory of replicas. You can get a 1911 in multiple calibers already, as you can many revolver frames. There’s no reason they couldn’t make custom ones.

With all the money spent on films, I’m amazed there isn’t regulated “Hollywood” caliber firearms. Something incapable of chambering anything on the market, and only functions with the certified blanks.

Something akin to the way fake currency is controlled.

My childhood friend had a farmhouse that had a back door facing west (I believe that was the direction), and when you opened the door and a specific set of windows, the whole house turned into a wind tunnel. It was pretty cool. I remember his dad saying they’d design the houses that way on purpose.

Different watches for different occasions, just like ties, shoes, glasses, and every other piece of jewelry. One of those belonged to his grandfather, and another was a gift from his dad when he graduated college. I don’t think any of his watches cost more than $500, which, in the watch collecting world, isn’t a ton of money.
