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.

 

It doesn't look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.

I'm sorry, but this person just threw away their life with an act that will have zero impact and is going to be forgotten by Wednesday.

Poor kid.

 

Man, the Speed Chamions series have really come a long way. My 6-wide F40 is one of my favorites on the shelf. It's got a type of charm that the 8-wide don't have.

That being said, I can't wait to park one of these next to my Countach!

 

It works too! I fit a movement in behind the face.

I didn't design this print. I modified the one that can be found here to feature my dad's initials on the watch face: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:619550

Can't forget those shareholders! It really worries me what things are going to look like in 30-50 years time. There's only so much you can squeeze out of people until there's nothing left.

 

I'm jealous they just get to chill and lick themselves all day.

 

It almost looks like it was grafted or something. Does anyone know what's going on?

 

I watched this movie for the first time in at least a decade last weekend. I still enjoyed it as much as my younger self did.

It's pretty stupid, but it's full of 90s charm and Chris Rock.
