LOL: women wanting us to put the toilet seat down.... Once, my 9 year old daughter told me to put the seat down. I looked at her strangely at first, like it was my job to prepare the toilet for her or something. My reply was: "How about you just look before you sit down?" She has never said...

Murphy's Law at work here.....

I'd love to live there, in the middle of nowhere, w/ a small country for a back yard. Where is that??!! LOL: club him like a baby seal. Priceless. I'm glad you weren't out too much money. I know what you mean about the principle of the whole thing.

I still can't understand how some test can tell you (with certainty) what your IQ is ONLY by how well you do on these shape/sequence questions. Not everyone in the world "gets" these kinds of questions. And if you don't "get" it, that doesn't mean you're not intelligent. Right? No need to...

I'd like to think I'm a little smarter than average, but I know that I'm certainly no genius. I'm not afraid of anything. I've seen those tests before, and I typically do well at first, but then the sequences of shapes and changes to the shapes just don't make any f--king sense to me and I...

This thread brings up an important issue that everyone should address regarding the carry of knives. I don't know about other Countries, but here in the USA, each State has its own laws as to the legality of carrying knives, how to carry, what's considered concealed, if you need a concealed...

I wasn't questioning your honor, Sir. I'm just surprised at the price. It's ads like that (w/ low prices) that make me think it's a scam or something. I mean, a HeNe laser ready to go for $29?? It's almost unbelieveable.

Well, if your magazine isn't working, then it ain't feeding your autoloader, and you ain't shooting. Not good if you NEED to be shooting. Any failure (fail to feed, fail to fire, fail to eject, stovepipe, etc) could be a matter of life and death. So I bring a spare mag along just in case of a...

Being ABLE to drink and carry on the same day is a fine idea. But DOING it isn't. Whenever I carry (in public, like at a restaurant), I choose NOT to drink alcohol. Not because it's against the law (which it isn't here in Delaware), but because certain things just don't mix, and aren't a good...

As for "destructive hobbies," when I was a boy I did a few stupid things involving gunpowder, fuses, and copper pipes. That's all I'ma gonna say on that subject. It was totally stupid, too. Luckily for me, I was indestructible back then. :rolleyes: Kids will be kids. A more current...

I prefer my PC because I already have it. Meaning, I don't have to go out and buy anything more to play all the games I want. I can get ROM emulators for all the old classics. And practically every game out there is available for the PC. Then again, I still have my Odyssey2 system. My kids...

I was joking about the "legend in my own mind" and "genius" statements. The rest was true.

Was that for real? A HeNe laser w/ power supply for $29?? Huh? I've never seen any HeNe going for that cheap. Unless it was for a 0.000025mW or something. The ebay item isn't coming up anymore.

I'm afraid to take such IQ tests. I'm a legend in my own mind, and a genius at that. I'd hate to find out I'm not as intelligent as I think I am because I didn't do well in an online IQ test by getting a lower number. :thinking: [/sarcasm]

My EDC? Springfield Armory XD-9 service model, carried in a SERPA CQC Level II retension holster, w/ an extra Springfield Armory XD mag (either 10- or 16 rounds), for a total of 21 - 27 rounds of 147gr JHP personal defense ammunition... also a StreamLight Scorpion flashlight and a Spyderco...

I can only imagine how expensive this new technology is. Hopefully one day, when I'm ready and able to build my RV, solar panels (or whatever) will be lightweight and efficient AND affordable. LOL. I do plan on using solar to keep my house batteries charged up, so I can camp anywhere and not...

This guy is just another reason why I hate NJ. LOL.

I'm kind of partial to Viridian laser sights. If I had the money, I'd have one on my carry piece.

Dry Ice is fun. I bought a small bag of it from a local ice distributor because I needed some for the "effects" portion of a baking project I did. I created a scale replica of the island of Hawaii, complete w/ an "active" volcano. It was a full sheet cake size. I put the dry ice inside right...

I didn't read all the posts, but here's my opinion: Online datacenters can go down, or be hacked, or go out of business without warning. Plus, what if your internet connection is broken? Then you can't access your own files anyway. I believe it's cheaper and easier and safer to just back up...
